Chapter 529 Extra: Lu Xuanyi and Cen Zhijing (Part 3)
"We were engaged when we were young. Since Yun'er is not in good health, she has never been to the laboratory, and I have no place to introduce you." Liang Zhao laughed.
The smile on his face was a little gentler than usual.
"I can't just tell everyone I meet that I have a fiancée who is beautiful and gentle."
Hearing Liang Zhao's words, Mu Yun shyly punched him lightly on the chest with her fist.
"Don't talk nonsense in front of your junior sisters and brothers."
"Indeed, my sister-in-law is beautiful and gentle." The smile on Lu Xuanyi's face never changed.
She didn't dare to have any other expression, for she was afraid that she couldn't continue acting and would be noticed by her senior brother and his fiancée that something was wrong.
"Junior sister, why are you following your senior brother in teasing me?" Mu Yun looked at Lu Xuanyi shyly.
Liang Zhao saw that his fiancée was a little uncomfortable, so he smiled and changed the topic to Lu Xuanyi and the other person.
"Junior sister and junior brother are also a good match. After Yun'er and I get married, maybe I can attend your wedding banquet soon, right?"
Only then did Lu Xuanyi realize how inappropriate it was for her and her junior fellow apprentice to be alone together on the Shangsi Festival.
Especially since she was holding the peach blossom given by her junior fellow apprentice.
"We..." She was about to explain.
Cen Zhijing held her hand.
"We are not that fast yet. We are still young. By the time your children can walk, we may still be working hard to help the master with experiments." He looked at the two of them with a smile.
Lu Xuanyi stared at him with eyes wide open.
What nonsense are you talking about, Junior Brother?
Liang Zhao and Mu Yun laughed at the same time when they heard this.
"Master is not that unreasonable old-fashioned. As long as you say you want to get married, he will definitely not stop you. After all, getting married will not affect your experiments on him." Liang Zhao teased.
"Oh, I won't talk to you anymore. Look, my face is blushing. Let's go first." After saying that, Cen Zhijing pulled Lu Xuanyi and strode away.
The low laughter of Liang Zhao and Mu Yun came from behind.
Lu Xuanyi burst into tears.
"It's okay, they can't see it, I'm with you." Cen Zhijing took out a handkerchief and gently wiped away her tears.
Lu Xuanyi cried even harder.
"You know everything, right?"
"Yeah." Cen Zhijing nodded.
"I'm not like my master and my senior brother, so how could I not see that you like me? Even if you hide it very well."
"Cen Zhijing, you should respect your teachers and elder brothers, do you understand? You are not allowed to speak of your master and elder brothers like that." Lu Xuanyi looked at him angrily.
"I understand." Cen Zhijing smiled when he saw that she had stopped crying.
"What do you know? Who told you to talk nonsense just now?" Lu Xuanyi couldn't cry anymore when she thought about what happened before.
It's over. The eldest senior brother and his sister-in-law mistakenly thought that she and the younger junior brother were a couple. What should she do?
"I wouldn't say that. If you cried on the spot and your sister-in-law saw you, she would definitely guess what you felt about your senior brother. You definitely wouldn't want her to know, right?" Cen Zhijing explained slowly.
Lu Xuanyi nodded subconsciously.
If Mu Yun knew what she was thinking, she would definitely overthink it, and then cause them to quarrel, which would be inappropriate.
"Besides, we are dressed so well together today, and we are holding peach blossoms in our hands. Anyone who sees us will say that we are a perfect match. Isn't it normal to be mistaken for a perfect match?" Cen Zhijing deliberately acted frankly.
Lu Xuanyi then noticed that he was wearing a dark blue gown, which was somewhat similar to her emerald green skirt and looked very well matched.
"Then you shouldn't just go ahead and make the best of a bad situation." Lu Xuanyi muttered.
"Women are very sensitive. If I don't make the best of a bad situation, what if my sister-in-law finds out? And then my senior brother will also know, wouldn't that be even more embarrassing?" Cen Zhijing argued.
Lu Xuanyi was convinced by him.
"What should we do if my senior brother tells our master?" She had a new question in mind.
"I will beg my senior brother not to tell anyone. Then we will continue to act as a pair of lovers in front of him, and just keep it a secret from our master." Cen Zhijing gave her some advice.
"When you meet someone you love and want him to be your consort, I will stay far away from you and make sure he doesn't misunderstand me."
No way.
He silently added in his heart.
He would never let anyone take his senior sister away.
"Okay, then I'll do as you say." Lu Xuanyi couldn't think of any good solution for a moment and decided to listen to Cen Zhijing.
"But you have to promise me that you will never tell anyone that I once liked my senior brother. Otherwise, I will let my father lock you up." She threatened fiercely.
Cen Zhijing felt like laughing.
Senior Sister looks very much like the lion cat he raised.
She looks fierce, but actually has no threat at all. Just stretch out your hand and smooth her fur, and she will lie down obediently with her belly exposed.
He leaned close to her ear and whispered, "Okay, I swear, I will never tell anyone that you like Senior Brother."
The hot breath he exhaled reached her ears. Lu Xuanyi felt her ears were a little itchy and her heart began to feel a little confused.
"Yes, I did like her!" Lu Xuanyi's ears turned slightly red, but she still emphasized it to Cen Zhijing with a stern face.
"Yeah, I used to like it." Cen Zhijing immediately changed his words.
"There's a shop selling peach cakes near Taoyuan. Let's go buy some. These peach cakes are only sold during the Shangsi Festival every year. If you miss it, they will be gone. And each person can only buy two." He changed the subject again.
Hearing this, Lu Xuanyi became interested: "Then I want to try it and see how delicious it is."
The next itinerary is no longer under Lu Xuanyi's control.
After eating the peach cake, she wanted to go back to the small courtyard to find her Seventh Sister, but was told that her Seventh Sister was having a very pleasant conversation with a man.
Cen Zhijing took the opportunity to suggest taking her to other places where there were more delicious food.
"The vegetarian food at the Ganxi Temple is also delicious. I asked for a sign in advance when I came here today. We don't have to queue up and can go directly to eat. Let's go."
Hearing him say this, Lu Xuanyi hesitated for a while, but finally followed him.
Led by Cen Zhijing, Lu Xuanyi ate and drank, and forgot about Liang Zhao.
Until the seventh princess' maid came and said she wanted to return to the palace.
She was surprised at how quickly time passed.
"I'm leaving." She looked at Cen Zhijing.
"Okay, take care, senior sister. See you tomorrow." Cen Zhijing smiled and waved at her.
Lu Xuanyi got into the car, opened the window, and saw Cen Zhijing still looking at her.
When the Seventh Princess got into the car, she quickly withdrew her gaze and took the initiative to inquire about the Seventh Princess's situation today.
Fortunately, the Seventh Princess did not notice that something was wrong with her and kept talking to her about what she had seen and heard that day.
She finally breathed a sigh of relief when she returned to the palace.
But she relaxed a little too early because her mother came to visit her.
"Did you gain anything today? Did you find any young man you like?" Lu Zhirong looked at her daughter expectantly.
