"Yongxuan, come and sit down with us. You haven't eaten yet, have you? Let's eat together."
In the end, it was Yongqi who spoke up to Yongxuan.
Hearing Yongqi's greeting, Yongxuan did not answer, but looked at Chennian, whose eyes were red.
He was afraid of offending Shen Nian.
Upon noticing Yongxuan's gaze upon her, Chennian did not reply and simply sat down in her seat.
"No, thank you."
Seeing the awkward silence from his sister, Yongxuan shook his head. Winning his sister's forgiveness was a long and arduous journey.
However, as long as she doesn't hate herself, it doesn't matter what else happens to her; he was the one who abandoned her first.
After refusing, Yongxuan turned to leave.
"You've already abandoned me once, are you going to abandon me a second time?"
Hearing the rejection from the person behind her, Chen Nian paused for a moment, then spoke in a hoarse voice, admitting that she couldn't forgive Yongxuan right now.
Even if he had his reasons, that wasn't a reason for him to abandon himself and leave. He could have told her he was injured and needed to leave to recover.
Instead of abandoning her without a word, leaving her to wake up and find no one there, facing the empty palace alone, and before she could even recover from the shock of Yongxuan's disappearance, she was immediately sent to Mount Wutai.
"I won't lose you anymore, I won't lose you anymore, I'll never leave you again. It was my fault, please give me a chance to make it up to you, okay?"
Upon hearing Shen Nian's words, Yongxuan repeatedly denied them.
When facing Shen Nian, the sister-obsessed Shen Wang, the aloofness and other such traits are completely nonexistent.
"Sit down."
Chen Nian neither said it was good nor bad.
...
"Brother, ptooey, Xuan, Brother Xuan."
As the person drew closer, Ertai became extremely nervous and accidentally called out the wrong name, using the name he used when he was a child. After being glanced at by others, he quickly stammered and corrected himself.
When he was little, he used to stick to Yongxuan for a while because of certain things, and he would run after Yongxuan and call him "Brother Xuan". But now, he probably can't call him that anymore.
I never expected that Chen Nian was the precious little sister that Yong Xuan had mentioned.
Now look what's happened! He tried to steal someone else's precious little sister; he's probably in for a beating.
Shen Nian was in poor health when he was young and rarely saw people. Most of the young masters in the capital had only heard of him but never seen him. They had never even revealed Shen Nian's name. Shen Nian was well protected.
But everyone knows that Yongxuan has a beloved younger sister, because Yongxuan talks about his sister all the time, and nine out of ten sentences he speaks to them contain the word "sister".
Later, Yongxuan disappeared, and Chennian left with him, and the two of them were rarely heard of in the capital.
Ertai had never met Chen Nian when he was a child, and he didn't even know Chen Nian's name, let alone know that Chen Nian was Yongxuan's sister.
Since the two had different names and surnames, he didn't make that connection at all.
Unexpectedly, Shen Nian was Yongxuan's younger sister, the young master from the capital, whose name was known but whose face was never seen.
Upon hearing Ertai call him "brother," Yongxuan paused, scrutinizing Ertai standing before him with sharp eyes, emanating an aura of pressure that assaulted Ertai.
Ertai knew that if he wanted to take someone away, he had to get past Yongxuan. Even though he was extremely nervous inside, he didn't show it on his face. He remained calm, and his eyes showed only respect for Yongxuan. There was no sign of retreat or fear.
The time was only a few seconds, but to Ertai it felt like centuries had passed.
Everyone else could see that Yongxuan was sizing up his brother-in-law when he looked at Ertai, but no one said anything. First impressions are important, and Ertai had to make his own way.
As for Chen Nian, it wasn't that she didn't want to help Ertai out of the predicament; it was that Xiao Yanzi had dragged her away to tell Xiao Yanzi and Benjamin what was going on between her and Yongxuan.
Yongxuan's probing continued.
finally……
"Um."
Yongxuan withdrew his gaze from Ertai, responded, and looked at Ertai again, his eyes no longer sharp, but much gentler.
As Yongxuan strode away from him and walked forward, Ertai, who had been on edge the whole time, breathed a sigh of relief. His back was covered in cold sweat. He loosened his clenched fists and looked down to see that his back was soaked with sweat.
“Yongxuan”.
Seeing Yongxuan shrouded in coldness, Xiaoyanzi dared not act rashly and obediently called out to him.
She still needed to find someone to play with, so she couldn't offend that person's brother.
"Um."
"Hello, Yung-hsuan, my name is Benjamin."
After everyone had introduced themselves, Benjamin also introduced himself.
"Yes, Yongxuan."
Looking at Benjamin introducing himself, Yongxuan nodded and said two words more than the others.
Finally, they arrived in front of the stunned Qing'er.
"Long time no see, I'm back."
Yongxuan shifted his gaze to Qing'er, who was staring at him in a daze, his eyes filled with tenderness.
"Long time no see, I've been waiting for you for a long time."
Hearing what Yongxuan said to her, Qing'er snapped out of her daze and spoke softly.
He's back...
As someone who grew up with Chen Nian, Qing'er always followed Chen Nian around, running after Yong Xuan.
He was raised by Yongxuan.
If Yongxuan hadn't left, the three of them would have grown up together. She wouldn't have been sent to the Empress Dowager's side, and Niannian wouldn't have been sent to Mount Wutai.
If Yongxuan were here, perhaps the three of them would have gone to the Empress Dowager's side together, or they would have lived together in the Prince's Mansion, instead of the three of them being separated, and he even left her and Niannian's lives.
Yongxuan has been the pillar of support for her and Niannian since they were young. With Yongxuan around, the two of them will never be without a home.
Later, Yongxuan left without saying a word, and to be honest, she was also very angry.
Yongxuan left them, completely and utterly, and hasn't appeared even once in all these years.
Later, as I got angrier, I stopped being angry and only had one thought: I just wanted him to be safe.
She didn't know why he left, but she saw the blood-stained handkerchief he left in the room.
Moreover, Yongxuan is a typical sister-only person, and he would never abandon Niannian unless he had no other choice.
