Chapter 38 Have You Really Thought It Through?

This was not Song Yuning's first time at the Lantern Festival. She had been there twice before with Mrs. Wei, so she did not show much interest in the bustling and noisy streets with people coming and going.

They followed their brother to a restaurant and found an elegant private room on the second floor to sit down.

Although Song Yuning was able to calm down, the other sisters were not so calm. Especially Song Yuwan and the other two sisters, this was their first time to participate in the Lantern Festival.

As soon as they entered the private room, they couldn't wait to lean against the window to look out, looking around excitedly, and talking non-stop.

Seeing his younger brothers and sisters so excited, Song Chengli smiled and said, "Well, since you are so interested, let the maid accompany you downstairs to play.

But be sure to be safe! And remember to come back on time, understand?"

Hearing the eldest brother's words, everyone immediately cheered happily and then filed out.

Even Song Chengli held Zhou's hand and went down together. Song Yuning was also dragged away with them. She shook her head helplessly and had to follow Song Yurou and the others.

However, not long after they came down, Song Yuning got separated from the three sisters in the crowded street. Song Yuning was thinking of going back to the private room to wait for them, but when she turned around, she saw Xu Hui.

When Xu Hui saw Song Yuning, his eyes lit up and he immediately went to meet her and asked with concern, "Cousin Yuning, have you been okay since we last met?

Did my aunt say anything to you? I have been trying to find you for a while, but my aunt always turned me away. I hope I didn’t cause you any trouble.

There was a hint of worry and self-blame in his tone, and his eyes were full of sincerity.

Song Yuning looked at Xu Hui and couldn't help but sigh in her heart. She knew that Xu Hui had a good impression of her, but this feeling could not be recognized by his family.

After thinking for a while, Song Yuning brought Xu Hui to an empty alley, and asked people to guard the exits on both sides. The two of them started talking here.

She shook her head gently and said, "Mother didn't do anything to me, you don't have to take it to heart."

Seeing Song Yuning's expression become the same as when they just met, becoming cold and detached, Xu Hui became a little anxious: "Cousin Yuning, can you please stop rejecting me like this?

I know my aunt doesn't want me to have any contact with you, but I have been thinking about you all this time, cousin Yuning, please don't distance yourself from me.

Don't worry, I will make sure that Auntie and our family will accept you, I, I..."

Xu Hui got anxious and blurted out, "I like you!" When he realized what he had said, his face, neck and ears turned red.

He looked shy, but still looked at Song Yuning seriously.

Although they had not met many times, Xu Hui felt that Song Yuning was a very good person. Moreover, they had similar interests and always had endless topics to talk about whenever they met.

Xu Hui was already fifteen years old, and his wife was arranging a marriage for him. When he heard people jokingly say that he was about to get married, all he could think of was Song Yuning's face.

It was not until then that Xu Hui realized that the person he had always wanted to marry was Song Yuning.

Song Yuning was very surprised. She didn't expect Xu Hui to confess to her so frankly. Although she had such an idea, she didn't expect Xu Hui to fall in love with her so quickly.

She didn't seem to have done anything, but looking at Xu Hui's red cheeks and his affectionate peach blossom eyes, Song Yuning had to admit that she was indeed quite satisfied with the young man in front of her.

To be honest, Song Yuning didn't want to reject Xu Hui's feelings.

However, when it comes to the big issue of marriage, she needs more time to think and understand whether they are suitable for each other. After all, marriage is not something that can be decided on impulse.

If she could marry Xu Hui, the two of them might be able to live a life of mutual respect.

She is the youngest child of the Xu family. She will not need to support the family and bring honor to the family in the future. When the elders pass away, they will definitely get a share of the property and then divide it up.

When the time comes, you will be in charge of your own home and will definitely live a carefree life.

This is also the life Song Yuning wants.

"Mother will not agree to let me marry you. Given your status, your family will probably not let you marry a concubine's daughter.

Cousin Xu Hui, I am of humble status, so I am afraid…” Song Yuning said hesitantly.

Xu Hui's eyes lit up, and he stared at Song Yuning with a burning gaze: "You mean, you are willing? Really?

Cousin Yuning, don't worry, I like you. You don't have to worry about anything. Just leave everything to me.

My marriage is my own decision. If I want to marry you, I will make sure my family agrees.

Wait for me, I will definitely take care of this matter, and then marry you in style."

After saying this, Xu Hui's face turned even redder. Without even looking at Song Yuning's expression, he turned around and strode away.

Looking at Xu Hui's back, Song Yuning felt a little expectant, hoping that Xu Hui could overcome all difficulties if he could really marry her home.

Song Yuning promised that he would treat Xu Hui well in the future.

Only after Xu Hui's figure completely disappeared did Song Yuning turn around and want to return to the private room.

When she turned around, Song Yuning saw Xiao Yunzhan leaning against the alley wall with his arms folded across his chest. He was looking at her with a deep gaze.

Just now, Song Yuning and Xu Hui were talking, and they deliberately found an empty alley. They also asked Ningshuang and Yuejian to guard the entrance of the alley, and Xu Hui's servants to guard the other side.

I thought everything was foolproof, but I didn't expect Xiao Yunzhan to break in.

Song Yuning was stunned at first, but quickly reacted, pursed her lips, and bowed to Xiao Yunzhan and said, "Greetings to the Seventh Prince."

Xiao Yunzhan frowned: "Now that you know my identity, are you going to be so estranged from me?"

"I didn't know it before, but now I know. Of course, I can't ignore the proper etiquette." Song Yuning said to Xiao Yunzhan with a smile on his face.

For some reason, Xiao Yunzhan felt a little disgusted with the smile on Song Yuning's face. He had just seen clearly that Song Yuning had smiled at Xu Hui in the same way.

A flash of anger flashed in Xiao Yunzhan's eyes. He didn't know where this emotion came from, but at this moment, he was very unhappy.

"Do you really want to marry Xu Hui?" Xiao Yunzhan asked as he walked towards Song Yuning step by step.

For some reason, Song Yuning felt that the aura of Xiao Yunzhan was a little scary at this moment, and she couldn't help but take a step back.

Xiao Yunzhan seemed to be irritated by her action. He raised his hand and grasped Song Yuning's wrist, looking down at her condescendingly: "Have you really thought it through?"

Song Yuning was stunned, as if he understood what was wrong with Xiao Yunzhan.

But why? They hadn't seen each other much since their reunion. Could it be that just because of that one month? Did Xiao Yunzhan fall in love with her?
