Chapter 335 As long as you think it looks good.
After Xie Yunchuan finished speaking with that person, he looked around and found Sheng Sheng there. He walked slowly towards her, his clothes fluttering lightly, as if a faint halo flowed around him. His usual sharpness was softened by this white dress, leaving only breathtaking beauty. The ladies around him kept stealing glances at him, and the whispers of amazement were almost drowning out the cicadas chirping in the trees.
As she got closer, Sheng Sheng noticed that Xie Yunchuan seemed to have a slight displeasure beneath his calm expression.
Oh dear, could it be that Young Master Lu came over here to talk and he saw it?
Xie Yunsheng, the guardian of her brother and sister-in-law's relationship, would absolutely not allow such a misunderstanding to occur!
So, just as Xie Yunchuan approached and before the group could speak, Sheng Sheng spoke first, casually saying, "Oh, brother, you're here! Just now, Young Master Lu and Brother Lu Chi came over to give Sheng Sheng a birthday gift. It's a pity they left after giving the gift, otherwise you could have run into Young Master Lu. You've come at the right time, please help Sheng Sheng accept it."
With a smile, Sheng Sheng handed him the hairpin that Lu Chi had given her. Xie Yunjia knew exactly what she was thinking and couldn't help but turn her head and chuckle to herself.
After hearing Sheng Sheng's words, Xie Yunchuan's expression relaxed considerably, and all traces of displeasure disappeared.
"Hmm." Xie Yunchuan responded lightly, taking the item from Sheng Sheng's hand.
Seeing this, Sheng Sheng pouted and secretly complained in her heart.
That brooding old man, he must have been secretly overjoyed to hear that Lu Yixue and Sister Yan Yan weren't talking, but he managed to act all calm on the surface.
Sheng Sheng couldn't help but give him a teasing look. Xie Yunchuan paused for a moment, then casually ignored her and looked at Li Manyan, who had been sitting quietly to the side.
Li Manyan was startled and involuntarily sat up straight. The moment she received his gaze, she felt inexplicably nervous, and her hands, hidden in her sleeves, clenched tightly.
Xie Yunchuan didn't speak, he just looked at her calmly, saying nothing, yet it seemed like he had said a lot.
Li Manyan pursed her lips. With such a big person right in front of her, it was hard not to notice him. Naturally, she also noticed Xie Yunchuan's unusual attire today.
In Li Manyan's memory, Xie Yunchuan always wore black clothes whenever they met.
Perhaps because she was used to seeing him in black, Li Manyan suddenly saw something different in him when she saw him in white, and her heart inexplicably started to pound.
Perhaps it was the moonlight that enhanced his appearance; the soft, silvery moonlight enveloped Xie Yunchuan, giving him a gentle and comforting aura.
Whether it was Li Manyan's imagination or not, those indifferent eyes looked down at her with a gentler tenderness than the moonlight.
Realizing what she was thinking, Li Manyan was startled by her own thoughts.
She knew the Second Prince was handsome, but it wasn't the first time she had seen him, so why did she suddenly have such thoughts?
In the end, Li Manyan was the first to give in to the silent stare and softly called out, "Second Prince?"
"Um."
Xie Yunchuan nodded to her.
Sheng Sheng and Xie Yunjia stood at attention, watching intently. Sheng Sheng excitedly grabbed Xie Yunjia's hand and screamed softly, "Ahhh, my royal sister! Ahhhhhh!"
Xie Yunjia was calmer than her and didn't scream, but she kept her eyes fixed on the two of them.
Xie Yunchuan glanced at him indifferently.
He paused, coughed lightly, and casually looked up at the moon.
"Oh, my dear sister, the moon is so beautiful tonight, so round!"
Xie Yunjia replied, "Yes, the moonlight is beautiful, perfect for playing the zither, it's so evocative."
"Yeah yeah!"
The two sisters took turns talking, trying to steer the conversation away from the main topic.
Xie Yunchuan looked helpless and didn't bother to expose them.
Li Manyan felt a little awkward, so she tried to make conversation: "Uh, why is Your Highness wearing white today?"
"Isn't it pretty?" Xie Yunchuan looked directly into Li Manyan's eyes and asked her in return.
"ah?"
Li Manyan was taken aback, somewhat caught off guard, and blurted out, "It's so...beautiful!"
"Really?" Xie Yunchuan let out a soft chuckle, his pleasure undisguised. "That's good. As long as you think it looks good."
W-what?
Li Manyan stared wide-eyed, somewhat dumbfounded, wondering if she had misheard.
What did he say?
What do you mean by "as long as she thinks it looks good"?
Li Manyan was dumbfounded, as were Shengsheng and Xie Yunjia who were standing next to her.
No, wasn't he supposed to be a repressed pervert? How come he's suddenly so intense all of a sudden?
She didn't dare to breathe loudly, holding her breath and staring intently at Xie Yunchuan, afraid of missing a single word.
Good heavens, has my brother finally figured it out?
That's so exciting! That's amazing!
While Sheng Sheng was busy gossiping, Xie Yunjia wasn't idle either. After taking a deep breath, she quickly looked left and right, afraid that someone else might have overheard what Xie Yunchuan had just said.
My goodness, my second brother is too bold. There are so many people here, isn't he afraid of being overheard and misunderstood?
Fortunately, my second brother's voice wasn't too loud, so no one should have heard it.
Li Manyan's mind went blank for a moment, a blush slowly creeping onto her cheeks. After a long while, she stammered, "Ah, ah...?"
Xie Yunchuan was only responsible for starting the fire, not for putting it out. After saying that sentence that scared the three girls half to death, he didn't plan to say another word.
Xie Yunchuan chuckled lightly: "It's nothing. I think most of the people have arrived, so I'm going to play the zither."
"Ah, okay."
Li Manyan nodded blankly.
Xie Yunchuan chuckled softly, then turned and walked towards the pavilion.
Just as Li Manyan was about to breathe a sigh of relief, Xie Yunchuan paused and turned back.
Li Manyan, who had just relaxed her back, immediately straightened it again: "Hmm?"
Xie Yunchuan looked at her for two seconds and asked softly, "What do you like to listen to?"
“…Me?” Li Manyan blinked.
"Hmm." Xie Yunchuan suddenly leaned down and moved closer to Li Manyan, who was sitting upright, until the two were only two fists apart.
Li Manyan's eyelashes trembled, and for a moment, the world seemed to stand still.
The moonlight enveloped Xie Yunchuan. He looked down at her, and Li Manyan stared straight into his eyes, seeing her reflection in his deep brown eyes.
They were too close together.
Recently, Li Manyan had the illusion that he only had eyes for her.
“Ah, ‘Spring River Flower Moon Night’, isn’t it?” Li Manyan hurriedly avoided his direct gaze, the only piece of music that she had heard not long ago could pop into her mind.
Xie Yunchuan chuckled softly again, then said gently, "Okay."
Xie Yunchuan straightened up and distanced himself from her, as if the momentary closeness just now was merely an illusion.
Li Manyan looked up.
“If you want to hear this, I’ll play this,” Xie Yunchuan said again.
A string in Li Manyan's brain has snapped.
