Chapter 4099 Childhood Memories

Although it is midsummer, the evening breeze is still slightly cool.

The two walked side by side for a moment, and Jin Lu winced slightly.

When Li Zhongci saw her, he hurriedly took off his cloak, covered her, and whispered: "You have been weak since you were a child. Although it is hot, it is night, so why don't you put on more clothes?"

Jin Lu's eyes became even redder: "Brother Zhong Ci, do you still remember what happened when you were a child?"

"I lived in your house for three years when I was a child, how could I not remember it?"

"Yes, we were so good back then." Jin Lu whispered, "Brother Zhong Ci still remembers that you said you wanted to marry me."

Li Zhongci trembled slightly and said with a smile: "These are all ignorant words from childhood. Why should my cousin take it seriously?"

Jinlu's tears flowed down involuntarily.

Li Zhongci was immediately at a loss. He wiped her tears, hesitated, and finally took out his handkerchief and handed it to her.

Jin Lu was puzzled.

She pulled up her sleeves, covered her eyes, and sobbed softly: "Brother Zhong Ci, how can he still remember the things we were together in the past? Of course you have better things."

Who is better?

Of course it is the beautiful and noble princess.

Li Zhongci sighed: "Sister Jin, why do you do this? We are all grown up, so there is no need to mention the things that happened in childhood."

"My father passed away and my mother has no opinion. Now I am living in your house. I really don't know what to do in the future..." Jin Lu cried softly.

The night wind rustled.

Li Zhongci looked at her sadly: "Sister Jin, don't worry. Since you are here, everyone will naturally take care of you in the future. As long as I am here, my sister will not suffer."

"You...can you take care of me for the rest of your life?"

"Why not?" Li Zhongci said with a smile, "However, my sister will get married eventually, and by then, my sister will have someone to rely on."

It was originally a word of comfort, but Jin Lu cried even harder.

Li Zhongci wanted to comfort her, but she threw away his hand and ran away crying.

"Sister Jin, sister Jin——"

Li Zhongci shouted worriedly and chased after him.

But he met Jin Lu's personal maid.

The maid asked: "What are you doing, Second Master? Has he pissed off our girl?"

"I just said a few common words, but my sister became angry." Li Zhongci frowned and looked in the direction where Jin Lu left.

The maid pursed her lips and said with a smile: "Does the Second Master not understand what our girl is thinking?"

"What?"

"The girl has been waiting for the second master all these years, but the second master married someone else. How can the girl not be sad?"

"..."

Li Zhongci's heart skipped a beat, but he didn't know what to say, so he smiled awkwardly and said, "I won't mention these words again in the future."

The maid said: "The poor girl is lonely and helpless. She originally thought that the second master would be someone to rely on, but who knew... Sigh. How good were you two when the second master was in our house?"

Li Zhongci said nothing.

In the eyes of the maid, he has become an ungrateful Chen Shimei who is in love with someone else.

If he explained it, it would seem a bit cover-up.

However, seeing his cousin crying over this made him feel very uncomfortable and a little worried.

After all, the princess mansion still has the princess and sick daughter that he is thinking about.

Thinking of this, he didn't chase Jin Lu and turned back to the stage.

Seeing his gloomy look, Mrs. Li thought he was tired, so she ordered her maid to serve him and go back to rest.

Li Zhongci walked over and said, "Mother, I think I can go to the princess mansion tonight."
