Feng Guang has always felt guilty about kicking Xie Zhan. Whenever Xie Zhan mentions it, her entire demeanor weakens, just like now.

Seeing her shifty eyes, Xie Zhan didn't say anything, but just chuckled softly, "Since Fengguang and Er Yatou are both my nieces, I naturally hope that you can get along well. It was just an accidental touch. Fengguang is magnanimous, so please don't hold it against her, okay?"

Feng Guang really wanted to say that she wasn't that big, but for Xie Zhan's sake, she held back and instead gave a bright smile, "Third Uncle is right. Since we're all family, of course, harmony is the most important thing."

Feng Guang wanted to let it go, but Xie Jie said from the side with dissatisfaction, "How dare she talk back? How can we just let it go like this?"

"Does Jie'er have any further opinions?" Xie Zhan glanced at her.

Xie Jie immediately backed down and stammered, "I... have no objection."

Xie Zhan is said to be a scholar-general. He doesn't look fierce or have a murderous aura like a great general that most people imagine. Rather than a general, he looks like an ordinary scholar.

Xie Zhan was approachable, but Xie Jie was afraid of such an approachable person. He couldn't explain why he was afraid of Xie Zhan. Perhaps the simpler a person's mind is, the more instinctive they are, like an animal.

Feng Guang lowered her head and said to Huan'er, "Come on, let's go see the flowers."

“Okay! Let’s go see the flowers!” Huan’er agreed happily.

Feng Guang didn't even look at Xie Zhan and the others, turned around and took Huan'er's hand and left.

Xie Zhan sighed. What should he do? The girl seemed convinced that he was biased towards Xie Yaoyao.

That's right, that's what Feng Guang thought. Although she understood that she was just a young lady who had only recently returned to the Xie family, while Xie Yaoyao had known Xie Zhan for a long time, it was only natural if Xie Zhan really favored Xie Yaoyao. However, even though she understood this, she still felt uncomfortable.

Sitting in the pavilion, Feng Guang watched Huan'er playing happily among the flowers. She rested her chin on her hand, lazily thinking about how to get closer to Xie Zhan. Right now, he treated her like an unfamiliar niece. Putting aside the issue of their relationship, the very word "unfamiliar" was enough to stump her.

"Sigh..." she sighed again.

What is Feng Guang thinking?

"Missing my good third uncle, of course." She answered casually, only to realize something was wrong. Looking up, she saw Xie Zhan standing beside her, someone she hadn't noticed at all.

Xie Zhan smiled, his gentle charm enhanced by the afterglow of the setting sun. "To have Feng Guang remember me is truly an honor for me, your third uncle."

She sat up straight and asked in an annoyed tone, "When did you get here?"

"Just when Fengguang sighed for the first time." Seeing that she was quietly thinking about something, he didn't disturb her until she sighed for the third time, when he finally couldn't help but ask.

Feng Guang sighed several times, she couldn't even remember how many, but upon hearing Xie Zhan's words, she angrily said, "Are you deliberately trying to make a fool of me?"

"What jokes are there about the scenery?"

"Then why didn't you say anything when you arrived?"

"Not disturbing people who are serious has always been one of my virtues."

"Nonsense!" she snorted, turning her face away from him.
