"So it was me who made the engagement with her."

Xi Shiye's gaze fell on a half-piece of white jade pendant hanging on Xi Shiyan's waist, which was crystal clear.

That's an engagement token.

His tone was full of determination. "This half of the jade pendant should belong to me."

Xi Shiyan's lips were pressed into a straight line, his expression icy, like a wild beast breaking out of a cage, tearing off the superficial polite disguise, "So what?"

His face at this moment overlapped with Xi Shiye's, making it difficult to distinguish them.

Xi Shiye's dark eyes were gloomy, even though everyone in the capital said that his elder brother was handsome and elegant, like a graceful young man.

But he knew that this was just a shell that made it easier for his elder brother to do things.

Xi Shiye lowered his eyelids to hide the cunning that flashed across his eyes. He spoke word by word, "Brother, how about we compete fairly?"

Xi Shiyan had long lost his former gentleness. He took off half of the jade pendant with his slender fingers and held it tightly.

\"Can.\"

Ning Yu had returned to Yunyao Courtyard at this time. She took off all her makeup, washed up, and went straight to the bed to rest.

But I still can't sleep.

Ning Yu somehow thought of the masked man she met in the corridor. She remembered that this person was not mentioned in the storybook.

Is he dead?

Or is this role not important?

Ning Yu didn't think too much about it.

The most urgent thing is to return to the Ning family and find a husband who suits her eyes to get married and have children.

Although the Xi family arranged the marriage with her because she saved Xi Shiyan, the prerequisite was that she was the real daughter of the Ning family.

This is also one of the reasons why she has always wanted to cancel the engagement.

As he was thinking, Ning Yu soon fell asleep.

In her dream, she somehow turned into a little white rabbit, followed by two wolves.

One black and one white, following her closely.

The two wolves surrounded her. The black wolf stepped on her tail with one paw, and the white wolf opened its mouth to bite her ear, making it difficult for her to escape.

Somehow, the two wolves transformed into Xi Shiyan and Xi Shiye...

Ning Yu was so scared that he broke out in cold sweat.

Ning Yu did not leave the yard these days.

On the contrary, Xi Jiayu often came to visit her and brought her some fun toys.

\"Sister Yu, there are new dishes in the dining hall today, let's go and try them."\" Ever since Xi Jiayu understood Ning Yu's personality and knew that she was not as spoiled as before and was beautiful, she couldn't help but look for Ning Yu often.

Ning Yu couldn't stand Xi Jiayu's coquettishness, so she nodded and agreed.

The two arrived outside the Xi Mansion, but before they got on the carriage, Xi Jiayu suddenly saw a familiar figure walking towards them.

Ning Yu lowered her eyelids slightly, wishing that Xi Shiyan didn't see her.

Xi Shiyan, dressed in a snow-white robe, cast his gaze upon Ning Yu and asked with concern, "Where are you going?"

Xi Jiayu didn't think much of it. "Big brother, Sister Yu and I are planning to go to the dining hall."

"I'm going there too, so why don't we go together?" Xi Shiyan said calmly, "I'll treat you."

"Great! Now I can save money to buy a pearl hairpin." His eyes lit up as he hugged Xi Jiayu. He put his arm around Ning Yu and said, "Sister Yu, let's go buy some together after we finish eating."

Ning Yu couldn't bear to disappoint Xi Jiayu, so she had to swallow back her words of leaving.

The three of them got on the carriage.

The space inside is quite large and not crowded.

At this moment, the groom's voice suddenly rang out, "Greetings, Second Young Master..."

Ning Yu and Xi Jiayu looked at each other.

Xi Shiyan's face darkened.

A pair of slender white fingers lifted the car curtain, and a face wearing a silver mask suddenly appeared. His eyes inadvertently fell on Ning Yu, then looked at Xi Shiyan, "Brother, you don't mind having one more person, right?"

Xi Shiyan naturally knew that his second brother's target was Ning Yu, so how could he give him this opportunity? He remained calm and composed. "The carriage is a little small and can't accommodate a fourth person."

Xi Shiye lowered his eyelashes, pursed his lips slightly, and lowered his head appropriately. "You also know that I have never left home since I was a child..."

Looks pitiful.

Xi Shiyan's mouth twitched. He had never left the house? If he wanted to go out, how could he be trapped?

It was just a deliberate attempt to win my cousin's sympathy.

Ning Yu and Xi Jiayu couldn't help but feel soft-hearted when they thought of Xi Shiye being trapped in the courtyard by Xi Xu.

Xi Jiayu couldn't help but say, "Second brother, please come up. There's room for one more person."

Xi Shiye raised the corner of his lips. "Thank you, Fifth Sister."

Xi Shiye sat next to Xi Shiyan, facing Ning Yu, staring at her without any hesitation.

It was like a silk thread, winding and outlining her body.

Ning Yu's scalp tingled as he was stared at. He looked up at Xi Shiye and asked, "Second cousin, is there something on my face? Why are you staring at me?"

Xi Shiye's eyes flickered, faintly reflecting the girl's figure. He whispered, "No, my cousin is pretty."

As soon as these words were spoken.

The other three were stunned.

Xi Shiyan, in particular, had a hint of frost on his face, a warning implied, "Second brother, watch your words."

Xi Shiye glanced at him sideways and said innocently, "Brother, I was just praising my cousin."

Xi Jiayu seemed to understand something and lowered her voice, "Sister Yu, do you like my eldest cousin or my second cousin?"

As soon as she finished speaking, Ning Yu suddenly felt two burning gazes falling on her, as if they wanted to stare a hole in her body.

It was as if she wouldn't give up until she had an answer.
