Yuwen An's eyebrows furrowed, clearly displeased. He looked at Xie Lingqin behind Yuwen Yao and said, "You wicked woman, you deliberately stalled for time to distract me so that Yuwen Yao would come to your aid."
Xie Lingqin raised her eyes indifferently, "Isn't it normal for my man to help me? Besides, Yuwen An, you have to call me sister-in-law."
"Aren't you ashamed..."
"Is this thing valuable?"
"you……"
Yuwen An ignored her and turned to Yuwen Yao, saying, "This woman is no good. Apart from being pretty, all she has is a scheming mind. She's not suitable for you at all."
That's quite a blunt remark.
Yuwen Yao stood there, looking at Yuwen An, without saying a word.
Xie Lingqin looked at Yuwen An, who seemed to want to strangle her immediately, and then at Yuwen Yao's tall back blocking her way. Suddenly, she smiled, took a few steps forward, and sat down casually on the chair at the table, looking like she was eagerly waiting for something.
She was also quite curious to see what Yuwen Yao would do.
"Yuwen An, she is my woman."
In the silence, Yuwen Yao spoke. He looked at Yuwen An with a firm expression and cold eyes, expressing his determination for Xie Lingqin.
"I almost used all my strength to win her heart, to finally gain her trust, love, and joy. In the past, my world seemed to be just a single color, but because of her, I now know that there is still May, spring, summer, autumn, and winter in the world, and they finally have substance in my heart."
As Yuwen Yao spoke, a tender and doting smile appeared on his lips as he spoke to Xie Lingqin. "As your elder brother, I don't expect you to accept her. However, if you cause her any harm, then before brothers, it is my affection for her that matters. You should understand that."
"So you mean you can do without me for her sake?"
Yuwen An's face was gloomy, and he suddenly became as heavy as a storm, like a child about to be lost.
Xie Lingqin was moved by Yuwen Yao's words, but she couldn't help but twitch her brow.
This brotherly love is truly... unbelievable.
“Yuwen An, actually, I’m quite kind too. You can try to accept me.”
As the two brothers stared at each other coldly, Xie Lingqin slowly stood up, looking directly at Yuwen An, and suddenly all her hostility seemed to vanish.
Yuwen An was slightly taken aback, his brows furrowing. Clearly, besides hostility, he was now more wary.
Xie Lingqin said, "The Gu worm from before was a misunderstanding, so..."
Upon hearing this, Yuwen An frowned even more deeply.
"Yes, I can make maocai (a type of Sichuan hot pot), and it's quite delicious. I've also learned acupuncture from Master Dong, which might be helpful for your legs in the future. Of course, I'm also quite romantic; I can play many little games and make a lot of trinkets. I only possess Yuwen Yao's love, but his affection for you will never fade."
Xie Lingqin started coaxing the naughty child.
Although she never coaxed the unruly child, she was more likely to beat him.
Her face was gentle and her voice soft; she genuinely wanted to reconcile with Yuwen An.
Yuwen Yao could sense all of Xie Lingqin's emotions. His eyes narrowed slightly. At this moment, his heart was filled with mixed feelings, but more than anything, he was overwhelmed with emotion, like water flowing across the ocean.
Xie Lingqin is aloof and reserved. Even if she smiles at you, it doesn't necessarily mean she's genuinely kind. However, at this moment, she truly wants to coexist peacefully with Yuwen An, even though he almost killed her. She's willing to forgive and forget...
If it weren't for him, and to avoid putting him in a difficult position, she wouldn't have wronged herself like this, putting aside her pride and arrogance.
"Qin'er".
Yuwen Yao suddenly stepped forward, grabbed Xie Lingqin who was still trying to persuade Yuwen An, buried his head in her neck, and breathed heavily into her ear.
Xie Lingqin couldn't help but tremble, her ears turning red with embarrassment. She said softly and angrily, "Please, Yuwen Yao, I'm trying to coax my brother-in-law. Can't you be a little more reserved? You're just making things worse."
"But I don't want you to feel wronged."
Yuwen Yao's voice was low and hoarse, filled with deep reluctance.
Xie Lingqin's eyelashes fluttered, and she thought that this guy could be quite cute at times. After a moment, she raised her hand and gently pulled Yuwen Yao's hand that was around her waist. "There are Gu worms in my room. You knew that it was the work of the giant clam, but you didn't say anything because you cared about me. You can suffer for me, so why can't I let go of my hatred for you, relieve you of your worries, and live in peace with you?"
These words, of course, refer to Yuwen An.
"Enough!"
Yuwen An was furious. "You two shouldn't act so affectionate in front of me. Yuwen Yao, let me say it again: I don't like her, I won't accept her, and she's not suitable for you. She'll only bring you trouble..."
"But the Empress Dowager likes her."
Yuwen Yao said softly.
The Empress was clearly Yuwen An's Achilles' heel. Yuwen An was startled upon hearing the voice, "Mother..."
"You haven't been to the palace to see your mother for a long time, have you? She misses you very much."
"I, I, I came out today and my leg is a little sore. I'll rest for a few days and then I'll go see her." Yuwen An stammered, then glanced at Xie Lingqin with resentment and unwillingness before striding out of the room.
However, he seemed to be struggling to keep up, as sweat was beading on his forehead.
"His leg problem has flared up again."
Yuwen Yao then released Xie Lingqin, looked at the scenery outside the window, and sighed softly.
"It's already quite an achievement that you were able to cure him so well."
Xie Lingqin raised her hand to stroke Yuwen Yao's brow, "However, it's such a pity that we couldn't get him to take out the antidote."
"He will."
