Yan Funing put down the medical book: "Did I really say that?"
She was clearly just thinking about it, how could she say it out loud?
"I've already said it." The man stared at her with cold eyes. "Just tell me where you are unworthy of me. How am I unworthy of you?"
"I..." She was unable to speak, a light blush appearing on her face, "Don't ask."
The more she said this, the angrier Fu Ciyi got: "I thought our relationship was already very good, but you said we were not worthy."
Yan Funing was anxious: "I, you..."
She stood up and stamped her feet, but couldn't say anything.
The man walked around the desk and stood directly in front of her, asking in a sensitive tone, "Or do you think Long Chi'an is the best match for you?"
He was completely annoyed. He was absent-minded on duty today, and all he could think about was what she said about not being worthy.
Yan Funing felt wronged when she heard this, her eyes became wet, and she reached out to push him.
"You're mean to me. You clearly said you liked me and wanted to pursue me, yet you actually said something like that." She hurried out. "I don't want to talk to you, and I don't want to see you."
How could the man agree to let her go? He caught up with her in a few steps and pushed her behind the door.
"Tell me what I don't like about you, and I will change it if I can."
He lowered his head, his eyes gradually becoming silent, as if he was afraid that she would see something, and finally softened his tone.
Yan Funing turned her head away, not wanting to look at him.
He turned her little face back and coaxed her softly, "What's wrong with you? Tell me, okay?"
Yan Funing bit her lip and said in a whisper: "You can't change it."
How can one change something that is a natural gift?
"What can't be changed?"
The corners of the man's eyes were unusually red, as if they were about to break. Yan Funing's heart skipped a beat. Then she looked at his eyes again, which suddenly became much emptier. Her heart suddenly tightened, and she finally said, "There."
Fu Ciyi was puzzled: "Where is that?"
"Fool!"
Seeing that he was really too stupid, Yan Funing just gave it a go, leaned on his shoulder and whispered a few words in his ear.
Fu Ciyi understood, and in a moment, bright stars lit up in his deep eyes. He chuckled softly, held her little face, and kissed her forehead hard.
"My husband was wrong."
He said this with a smile, tapping his forehead with his fingers, his voice clear and sweet.
Yan Funing glared at him angrily: "You're so smart about other things, why are you so stupid about this?"
Understanding what she meant by "unworthy", Fu Ciyi instantly understood what she meant by "will die". He thought, oh no, will this make her afraid of him even more?
So I asked her cautiously, "Are you more afraid of me?"
She shook her head, but quickly nodded.
"My husband is stupid, you can just tell me directly." He said again.
"I'm becoming less and less afraid of you. But after what happened last night, I'm definitely a little more afraid. Will you laugh at me for being useless?"
The girl had a soft voice. When she tilted her head back to talk to him, a hint of white skin was revealed under her fur collar. She was so delicate that sometimes he really couldn't bring himself to touch her.
Fu Ciyi's Adam's apple rolled slightly, and he restrained himself and kissed the corner of her eye again: "My wife is the most useful, how dare I laugh at you? You were very brave last night."
Encouraged, Yan Funing's eyebrows curved: "Really?"
"Well, of course it's true."
Yan Funing smiled then, then quickly stopped smiling: "You were mean to me just now."
Her voice was unconsciously filled with coquettishness.
Hearing this, Fu Ciyi tensed up and immediately replied, "I was stupid enough to be mean to my wife. I deserve to be punished."
What should I do?
He was losing control of himself. Facing such a delicate and innocent girl, he really wanted to treat her cruelly.
"I won't punish you. It's hard enough for you to get up so early and attend court to handle official business," she said softly. "Let's go have dinner."
"My wife is so nice."
As soon as the couple left the main courtyard, Fu Jiang came over.
"Sir, we've received news that the Prince of Jin and his men broke Dong Kuang's arms and legs. Minister Dong reported this to the Emperor, but was reprimanded."
Fu Ciyi said coldly, "There's no need to tell Nan Yao about this."
"Yes, sir." Fu Jiang agreed.
Yan Funing was puzzled: "Husband, do you think that the King of Jin is doing this to show that he cares about his daughter Nan Yao?"
"It's nothing more than the Dong family losing his face."
Soon, the couple passed by the courtyard.
Yan Funing took a casual glance and saw a young man and woman standing in the alley outside Fu Nanyao's yard. They were standing face to face, talking about something.
But she saw clearly that the man and woman were Meng Li and Fu Nanyao.
Not knowing whether anyone had seen it, I slowly turned my head to look at him, but to my surprise he was already standing with his hands behind his back.
He was staring at the alley with cold eyes.
Since the master didn't say anything, Fu Jiang didn't dare to remind the men and women in the alley.
The three of them just stood there. It was so quiet around them that their conversation could gradually be heard.
Meng Li said, "Aunt is getting anxious about your marriage again. This time you have to choose carefully and find a good husband. Don't meet someone as ruthless as Dong Kuang again."
Fu Nanyao raised her eyes to look at him: "Are you concerned about me, or what? After lunch, mother said she would pay attention to your marriage. Why didn't you say anything at that time?"
Meng Li said, "The Fu family raised me. As a servant, I am already grateful enough. I dare not ask for too much."
Fu Nanyao was obviously agitated. "Don't you dare? You also know that it is my family that raised you. There are so many servants in the mansion, why are you the only one who can eat with us in the dining hall? And you still say you are a servant? Others call my mother Madam and my sister-in-law Young Madam, but you are different. You call my mother Aunt and my sister-in-law Sister-in-law. Ali, do you think that I am married and unworthy of finding true love?"
Meng Li continued, "Nan Yao, wake up. There's a huge gap between our statuses. My literacy was taught by my sister-in-law, and my martial arts skills were taught by the young master. They treat me so well, how could I..."
After hearing this, Yan Funing looked at Fu Ciyi again.
She thought he would scold them coldly for being in the alley, but unexpectedly he helped her.
After walking for a while, Yan Funing lowered her voice and asked, "It's unlike you. Why didn't you go up and scold him?"
"Nan Yao has grown a lot, and she can make her own decisions about her marriage."
Although the man's voice was cold, his words were very rational.
Yan Funing was surprised when she heard this: "I didn't expect you to be such an open-minded brother."
Fu Ciyi asked, "Am I not open-minded?"
Seeing that although he said he didn't care about Fu Nanyao and Meng Li's affairs, his expression was obviously unhappy at the moment, Yan Funing wanted to tease him, "Nanyao can like who she likes, but may I ask Brother Ciyi, can I like who I like?"
"What did you call me?"
"Brother Ci Yi." Yan Funing suppressed her smile.
Fu Ciyi glanced at Fu Jiang.
Fu Jiang was very tactful and made a joke: "I didn't hear it. Oh, why am I deaf?"
"You're deaf, why don't you get out of here?" Fu Ciyi kicked him.
Fu Jiang ran away happily.
Fu Ciyi then grabbed Yan Funing's waist and said, "Everyone else can choose who they like, but you can't. You can only choose me."
