Chapter 204, tit-for-tat

Liu Wan invited him to sit

in the pavilion in the outer courtyard.

She personally brewed tea for him, and her movements were as dignified and gentle as he remembered.

Xie Jinqian kept his eyes on her, and only when the hot tea was pushed in front of him did he put down the gentle smile in his eyes,

"Sister-in-law, you look much better now than when you were in Xie's house."

"My brother has been doing business outside for many years, and there are few times when we can see each other. This is a meeting gift for sister-in-law, I hope sister-in-law will not dislike it!"

Xie Jinqian put the gift box on the stone table.

Liu Wan was a little surprised, and asked Wangxia to take it and prepare some return gifts.

Xie Jinqian refused.

"No need to return the gift, I have everything I need. It's been a long time since I came here, wouldn't you like to open it and take a look?"

Liu Wan hesitated. It was not etiquette to open the gift in front of the giver.

But she also knew that Xie Jinqian had no ill intentions, so she slowly opened the gift box.

The packaging was removed layer by layer, and when it came to the last layer, Xie Jinqian's eyes became more and more fiery.

He could already imagine Liu Wan's surprised and happy expression.

But. Liu Wan

was about to open the last layer of packaging when she heard a baby voice not far away, "Mom..."

Turning around, it was Xia Siheng who came with Wanwan in his arms. His face was clean and his clothes had changed, but his complexion was not good-looking.

When he came to Liu Wan, he looked at Xie Jinqian, and then at the gift box. He

curled his lips slightly and said to Liu Wan, "I just asked someone to take Wanwan to wash up. I didn't want her to play in the water for too long, so I brought her to see you. I didn't expect there would be a guest!"

Xia Siheng handed the clean and milky little thing in his arms to Liu Wan, and looked at Xie Jinqian with a cold look.

"I have heard of the name of the Second Prince of Nanyue for a long time!"

Xie Jinqian looked at him with a puzzled look, stood up and asked, "Sister-in-law, won't you introduce me?"

Seeing that this man and sister-in-law were very familiar, he felt a sense of crisis in his heart.

What is their relationship!

Liu Wan stood up to introduce herself, but Xia Siheng stretched out his hand to hold her shoulder and made her sit down.

She looked at the two of them with some doubt.

Xia Siheng said coldly, "I am the ninth in the royal family."

"So you are the Ninth Prince!" Xie Jinqian bowed, "I have heard of your great name for a long time!"

Xia Siheng saw some doubt and unwillingness in this man's eyes. He sat aside with a cold face,

"I have heard from my royal brother that the second prince of Nanyue is the second master of the Xie family. I didn't expect that the first time I met you was at the home of my fiancée!"

"Fiancee?" Xie Jinqian was shocked and stood still. He narrowed his eyes and stared at the two of them, his hands under his sleeves clenched so hard that the veins popped out.

How could they be together?

When did it happen?

"Yes, just today, I just went to the Liu family to apply for a job. Didn't your eldest brother tell you? That's right. It's my fault that I'm not considerate enough. I'll ask someone to give you some wedding money later, so you'll be happy too."

Xia Siheng's eyes were full of pride. He picked up the teacup on the side and looked at Liu Wan with a smile in his eyes.

Liu Wan lowered his head slightly and poured him a cup of tea. "Your injury is not fully healed yet. It is not advisable to drink too much hot tea. Let it cool down a little

.

"

"Bang!"

The tea cup in Xie Jinqian's hand suddenly exploded into pieces, and the steaming tea spilled onto his hand! ＷＷw.lΙnＧㄚùＴχτ.nétHis

face was ugly, and his smile twitched slightly.

The engagement was made today! No wonder, no wonder on the way here, a kind-hearted master gave him wedding candy. He

said it was the wedding candy of the Ninth Prince, so that he could get some of the good luck.

He ate it!

It tasted pretty good!

Damn it!

It turned out to be the Ninth Prince and his sister-in-law's!

Several people looked at him, and Liu Wan asked in confusion, "How could such a good cup be broken? Wangxia, go get the handkerchief and medicine box!"

She looked a little suspicious.

But in Xie Jinqian's opinion, Liu Wan still cared about him.

He raised an unnatural smile at the corner of his lips and said to her, "Sister-in-law, don't bother. Today I know that our friendship is still there, and Jinqian is satisfied!"

"You don't have to call me like that. I have nothing to do with the Xie family. Just call me by my real name!" Liu Wan said.

"Okay." Xie Jinqian smiled and looked at Xia Siheng provocatively!

Xia Siheng snorted coldly and turned his head away unhappily.

Xia Wanwan in Liu Wan's arms was stunned. She sucked her thumb and kept staring at Xie Jinqian.

[How could there be a spiritual power explosion! I saw that the second uncle in the original play didn't seem to know martial arts, let alone Taoism. Where did he get such an evil power. ]

She felt the spiritual power, and it was not a pure power, but more like an evil way!

This voice made Liu Wan and Xia Siheng stunned for a moment.

Seeing Wangxia handing a handkerchief to Xie Jinqian to wipe his hands, Xia Siheng smiled and said, "If we martial artists use a little force, the teacup may not be able to bear it. Second Prince, now that we have a child, you don't have to use your internal strength!"

"Your Highness, you are too serious. I don't know martial arts. It's really the teacup's problem." Xie Jinqian said gently.

As long as his sister-in-law cares about him, he still has a chance. So

what if they are engaged? They haven't gotten married yet!

The status of the Ninth Prince is so good. It's not certain whether there will be any conflicts between the two because of their status in the future.

He still has a chance.

He smiled, "Sister-in-law... No, Miss Liu Wan, this gift is rare, you should open it and take a look first!"

After saying that, he looked at the Ninth Prince, "The Ninth Prince is generous, he should not care about the gift from the old people."

Xia Siheng smiled, "Wan'er, open it and let me see the handiwork of the second prince!"

You can't be more generous than him!

He gave the deed and storehouse of the palace to Liu Wan!

[Don't worry, mother, open it, the box looks normal.] Xia Wanwan was so excited that she almost stood up.

She also wanted to see what gift this second uncle who had evil intentions towards young people had sent!

Liu Wan nodded and slowly opened the box on the last layer!
