Li Nian watched Xiao Yunyu close the door tightly before asking, "Are you free tomorrow?"
Xiao Yunyu's deep peach blossom eyes shone with light. He walked towards her with a smile and replied, "Of course."
He came closer, slightly bent over, his white robe hanging loosely, allowing Li Nian to see his firm muscles clearly.
She quickly raised her head and looked up, meeting his eyes.
Then he asked, "Are you willing to believe me?"
Li Nian answered truthfully: "No."
Xiao Yunyu choked and sighed in disappointment: "Is that so..." His wife was really honest.
"Then why did Nian Nian come to see me?"
"Tomorrow Sisi and I will go find Xiao Yunchen together. Why don't you stay at home tomorrow? Don't go anywhere."
After hearing what she said, Xiao Yunyu's smile faded and he looked at her in silence.
After a while, he replied in a muffled voice: "Okay, I'll listen to you."
Seeing that he agreed, Li Nian didn't stay any longer and walked towards her room.
As I was walking, I realized something was wrong. I turned around and saw someone following me.
She frowned and looked at him in confusion: "Why are you following me?"
Xiao Yunyu said in a sullen voice, "I'll take you back to the house."
Li Nian was speechless: "Brother, I'm right next to you."
As soon as she finished speaking, he suddenly hugged her, and a dull voice sounded above her head: "Niannian, I really didn't tell Xiao Yunchen about you. He came here on his own. I will find a way to prove my innocence."
Li Nian hummed softly, then said calmly, "If you can prove it, I will definitely believe it."
Xiao Yunyu promised seriously, "I'll prove it soon." At this point, his voice softened, "Can I sleep with you tonight?"
Hearing this, Li Nian pushed him away speechlessly: "Xiao Yunyu, you really are... If I light a candle for you, you can light up the whole world!"
After saying that, she turned and went into her room, closing the door with a bang.
Xiao Yunyu was disheveled in the wind. What did his wife mean by what she just said?
Does that mean he's warm?
A gust of cold wind blew, and Xiao Yunyu, who was only wearing a thin nightgown, couldn't help but shiver.
The weather is getting colder, he has to try to prove his innocence as soon as possible and warm his wife's bed!
The autumn wind in the early morning brought gusts of coolness, and even standing in the morning sun, one could still feel the chill.
Li Sisi's biological clock, which she developed every day when she went to work, made her wake up early. When she got up, the sun had not yet risen, and the sky full of stars and the crescent moon were still faintly hanging in the sky.
By the time she finished washing up and spent half a day picking out clothes and put them on, the morning sun had already risen in the eastern sky.
She had the window open, and the sunlight was slanting down on the wall of the room across the yard.
In the morning light, Li Sisi patiently tied her hair into a bun. Thinking that she would discuss her lifelong affairs today, she dressed up carefully.
Looking at the increasingly delicate face in the mirror, Li Sisi curved her lips and smiled.
She usually goes out without makeup, and she hasn't dressed up so carefully in a long time.
Even after dressing up now, she is still so beautiful.
"Second Miss, Aunt Pei is here." Yu Niang's voice sounded outside the house.
Li Sisi was delighted when she heard this and quickly replied loudly: "Coming——"
Aunt Pei came here so early, it must be because of what Pei Yanli said yesterday.
She quickly inserted the pair of Yanlan butterfly hairpins on the dressing table symmetrically into her hair, then stood up, opened the door and went out.
Aunt Pei looked at the girl in the light blue dress with a bright and beautiful smile.
At first glance, she was very different from the girls she usually met.
Aunt Pei looked at Li Nian who came out of the master bedroom. She was wearing a light green long skirt, a pure white fox fur waistcoat, and a gold and jade hairpin on her head that was complex and exquisite in style.
Why hadn't she thought of it before? How could two such beautiful and wealthy girls come to a small frontier town like theirs alone? How could they have simple identities?
Li Sisi walked towards her with a smile, her tone cheerful and intimate: "Auntie, it's windy outside, can you come in and sit down?"
Aunt Pei forced a polite smile and said, "No, I'll just say a few words and then leave."
Her smile was kind and gentle, like a caring elder caring about a younger generation: "Sisi, I have a question for you. Was the censor who had lunch at my house yesterday really your husband?"
The smile on Li Sisi's face suddenly froze, and a bad feeling rose in her heart. Pursing her lips, she answered truthfully, "Yes."
Fearing that Aunt Pei might have a grudge, she quickly added, "But Aunt, I have nothing to do with him now."
When Aunt Pei heard her admit it, her heart, which had been on her mind all night, was finally broken.
Thinking of the past, Aunt Pei's smile became a little fake, and she asked with a somewhat urgent tone: "It's not related? Did you get divorced? Or did he divorce his wife?"
Seeing that Li Sisi didn't refute, her fake smile faded: "You don't have any, right? Then you are still husband and wife. How can a woman marry two husbands?"
"My Yanli is stubborn. Once he sets his mind to something, he won't turn back until he hits a wall." Aunt Pei held her hand and continued as gently as possible: "Auntie can only rely on you. I know you like my Yanli, but people should not be greedy. You can't run away from home and find another one outside just because you have a little conflict with your man!"
She seemed to be trying to persuade him earnestly and thoughtfully: "I have been with you for so long, and I know that you are a good and sensible girl. You will definitely understand my painstaking efforts..."
Li Sisi listened to Aunt Pei's heartfelt persuasion, as if marrying Pei Yanli would bring endless disasters to the Pei family.
