Xie Yanyu glanced at it casually and said, "Sorry, I stained the painting."
"..." Pei Yuxuan took a deep breath, thinking that it was a mistake to let him in, so she pointed at the door and said, "Get out."
"Okay," Xie Yanyu nodded gently. After accepting the offer, his feet did not move at all. He continued, "I hope the princess will seriously consider my proposal..."
"Thank you, my lord," Pei Yuxuan interrupted him, "Remember when you rejected me in the past, I didn't pester you."
The implication is very straightforward.
Can you be more decent like I was back then?
But the thinking of men and women is naturally different.
A girl who is rejected by her lover will feel heartbroken, ashamed, and unable to face others. She will force herself to give up the idea.
But for a man, especially one like Xie Yanyu who is nearly thirty years old, in a high position and with great power, who has clearly understood her feelings and can no longer afford to miss out, letting go gracefully is not an option.
If it worked, he wouldn't be still unmarried at this age.
Xie Yanyu suppressed the bitterness in his heart and said, "I am rude, but I can't help it."
"Princess," he took a half step forward and looked at her steadily, "I really have no other choice."
Why would he do this if there was any other way?
…………
Xie Yanyu finally left.
It was just that look of hidden pain that lingered in Pei Yuxuan's eyes, making her upset and her heart, which had been calm for a long time, gradually became annoyed.
She angrily walked into her brother's yard and said to Pei Yuqing who was tending to the flowers and plants: "Brother, if you let him come again in the future, I will tell my mother and let her punish you!"
Pei Yuqing paused what he was doing and turned around to look, "Is he gone?"
Pei Yuxuan glared at him: "Go away!"
Pei Yuqing smiled and said, "I just let him go to find you. I didn't force you to see him. You were the one who invited him in. Why are you angry with me?"
"You are good at speaking, I can't beat you in an argument! But you can only bully me, your sister, and then..."
The rest of her words disappeared in the smiling look in her brother's eyes.
Pei Yuxuan shut up angrily. The more she thought about it, the angrier she became. She kicked the stone bench next to her, "Damn Xie family! It's not enough to harm my brother, they also want to harm me!"
Hearing this, Pei Yuqing's lips twitched slightly, and he couldn't help but say: "With your character, who knows who will harm whom."
"Brother!" Pei Yuxuan's eyes widened: "Which side are you on?"
Pei Yuqing ignored her and wiped his hands with a handkerchief.
After calling his sister, he sat down on the stone bench, poured a cup of hot tea over, and said, "It's his fault that we missed each other for six years, but if it weren't for these six years, he might not have realized his feelings. Six years is too long, and a lifetime is too short. If you like him, don't be stubborn."
"……dislike."
"Really?" Pei Yuqing smiled and didn't expose her. He just said, "You don't have anyone you like anyway. The reason for finding a son-in-law is to have children. Why not choose him? With his talent and appearance, the children he gives birth to will not be bad."
Everyone knows that the Xie family has a clean and upright family tradition. The brothers Xie Wen and Xie Shu don't even have a concubine in their backyard. They have never had any conflicts between husband and wife like other families do.
The eldest son of the Xie family was handsome, noble-minded, gentle as jade, clean and honest, and had never had any romantic affairs. He was a hot commodity in the capital, and families with daughters wanted to find a rich husband for them.
