Jiang Youran, reborn at the age of four, decided to marry her mother, Mrs. Su—who died in depression before she was 28 in her previous life—to her cousin, Duke Ping, who had always harbored feeling...
The guard was not surprised at all. Very good, today's three falls in one day have finally come to an end.
He jumped back into the lake and pulled his little master out again.
The kitten stood proudly on the shore, head held high, glaring at the two people splashing in the lake. Its eyes were like those of a king looking down on the world. Then it turned its head and howled at Xiao Youran, as if it were asking for praise.
Xiao Youran blinked, secretly opening the little notebook in her mind, and sure enough, she saw a wish that she had accidentally blurted out earlier.
“A beautiful woman should descend from the sky here.”
So, this is the automatic detection function?
Well... this beautiful girl who fell from the sky... seems to be having some bad luck. What should we do?
However... if this boy is indeed the boy from her memory, then it's truly bad luck, the kind that even God can't help.
When the handsome young man stood before Xiao Youran again, looking dashing and elegant, it was almost half an hour later...
She changed into a moon-white dress, her hair was tied up, and she wore a black jade crown; she was absolutely a beautiful woman.
He didn't look like someone who had just fallen into the water twice in a disheveled state.
Moreover, although his expression was cold, one could still detect extreme displeasure in his voice. "Where did you come from, you wild girl?"
Xiao Youran pointed to her nose, "Me? A wild girl? Wen Yuanbai, are you asking for a beating?"
Wen Yuanbai's eyes widened suddenly, and he stood up from his chair with a whoosh. "You...you...how did you know my name?"
He's only eight or nine years old; no matter how much he tries to act aloof, he's bound to break down eventually.
Xiao Youran raised her head, snorted, and pointed her chin at a painting hanging on the wall. "Someone actually hangs their own painting out to embarrass themselves. I don't think it's hard not to know!"
Wen Yuanbai:! ! !
Actually... this... tiger painting was only painted when he was five years old... it was Steward Zhang who felt that the guest room was too deserted and strongly requested that this painting be hung up.
He habitually signed his paintings with the pen name "Yuan Bai".
His surname is Wen, so the little girl thinks his name is Wen Yuanbai?
Hmm... this name... sounds pretty good too.
This little girl doesn't seem as silly as she looks.
The little girl moved the "kitten" in her arms closer to him, "And also, the one you drew of its mother doesn't look like it at all!"
Wen Yuanbai:! ! !
He then realized that what the little girl was holding in her arms was not a kitten... but a small, large cat!
He recalled the butler mentioning that they had found a dead tiger on the mountain and asked uncertainly, "You... found it on the mountain?"
Xiao Youran patted its head and said seriously, "I didn't find it, it found me."
Wen Yuanbai:......
The guard beside him understood what he meant and asked tremblingly, "This...this...is this a tiger cub?"
The painting depicts a fierce tiger, but the little girl claims it is its mother.
Xiao You Ran blinked her eyes, "Its name is Kitten."
So the kitten isn't a cat; it's the name of a little tiger!
Wen Yuanbai:......
"So... what's your name?" he asked coolly, forcing back a twitching smile.
“My name is Jiang Youran, and my mother calls me Xiao Ranran. You can call me Xiao Ranbao, doesn’t that sound cuter?” Xiao Youran said in a clear voice.
Wen Yuanbai felt his lips twitch again. He had never seen such a boastful little girl. "Little... Ranbao, what are you doing here?"
Xiao Youran rubbed the kitten's head again, then lifted it up to reveal its belly with a small scratch. "It's injured... I'll look for some medicine. Xiaobai, do you have any medicine for external injuries here?"
Wen Yuanbai:! ! !
What kind of nickname is "Little White"?
He took a deep breath. "I'm older than you, so you can't call me Xiaobai."
"Oh, then let's call him Big White?" Xiao Youran readily agreed, her dark eyes darting around.
Wen Yuanbai:......
He didn't want to say anything more, so he waved his hand and ordered the guards around him, "Nan Zhuo, find her some medicine and send her out!"
Nan Zhuo, with a cold expression, seemed to have assessed that the kitten's killing power had not yet fully developed, so he nodded and went into the house to find medicine for his injuries.
Xiao Youran shifted in her armchair, then said in a soft, cute voice, "Big White, why don't you go visit my great-aunt?"
Wen Yuanbai was too exhausted to correct her address any further: "Your great-aunt? I don't know your great-aunt, why should I go see her?"
Xiao Youran said "Oh" thoughtfully, "I heard from Grandpa Steward Zhang that you, Da Bai, are kind-hearted and always donate grain and supplies to the village whenever there is a disaster. Our family has benefited from the village of Sanyang!"
Wen Yuanbai stared at her. "I heard you came from the capital?"
Xiao Youran nodded, "Yes, my great-aunt's family came from the capital. We came to the capital from Dingzhou, and then came from the capital."
"The capital is bustling and prosperous, so why...why would you return to Sanyang Village from the capital?"
Little Youran blinked her big eyes, "Hmm... they said... my great-aunt's family was raided, they were exiled... oh, and it seems they were also robbed... and then... they went back to their ancestral home..."
Wen Yuanbai first looked enlightened, then puzzled, "And what about you? Your family is in Dingzhou, why didn't you go back to Dingzhou, but instead came all the way from the capital to here?"
Xiao Youran chuckled and rubbed the kitten's forehead with her palm. "Because I'm a lucky charm, just like the kitten! My great-aunt and Brother Tiankuang's family are having some trouble, so I'm here to share some of their good fortune!"
Wen Yuanbai:......
I recognized him by his eyes; he's a boastful person.
A boastful liar!
And what kind of lucky charm is this kitten?
The way it pounced on him just now was clearly because it thought he wasn't unlucky enough already!
At this moment, Nan Zhuo walked in with a bottle of medicine. "Young lady, here's some medicine for you."
Xiao Youran reached out with one hand to take the medicine, while holding the kitten in the other.
Unexpectedly, the kitten stretched out its front paw and slapped the porcelain bottle, sending it flying towards Wen Yuanbai's face.
Wen Yuanbai instinctively raised his hand to block, and the porcelain bottle crashed onto the armrest of the armchair he was sitting on due to the force of his movement.
With a snap, the porcelain bottle shattered, and the powdered medicine immediately burst into the air and scattered everywhere.
Wen Yuanbai's expression immediately changed drastically. He covered his nose, but in that brief breath, the powder had already entered his nostrils. He couldn't help but start coughing violently.
Nan Zhuo's face immediately turned ashen. He rushed forward, grabbed his young master, and carried him away from the dust-filled area to the farthest corner. Then, he patted Wen Yuanbai's back to help him catch his breath, while taking out another porcelain bottle from his waist, opening the lid, and bringing it close to Wen Yuanbai's nose.
Xiao You Ran: ……
Sure enough, it was the same sickly, unlucky child she knew from her previous life.
In her previous life, she didn't know what illness he had, but now she knows that Wen Yuanbai suffers from an allergic asthma.
