Chapter 68 Wen Xingluo Likes Him
Xie Guanlan paused and took it from the girl silently.
The fingertips touched unintentionally.
Wen Xingluo felt his skin was even colder.
Perhaps because he was hungry and cold, Xie Guanlan blew on the hot soup and drank it quickly.
After sitting down, he picked up his chopsticks and said in a hoarse voice, "There's a problem with the dike in the south of the city. It took a lot of effort to evacuate the villagers downstream these days. Today is a family dinner. I came back to have a hot meal. I have to go out later."
Wen Xingluo picked up a shrimp ball and couldn't help but look at him again.
If he hadn't mentioned it, she would have almost forgotten that today was a family dinner.
This person has a kind face but a dark heart and a cold mind, but he always arrives on time for every family dinner.
Even though it was raining so hard, he had to go home.
Thinking of his protection of his younger brothers, and how he blocked his father's slap and the gangster's dagger for her, Wen Xingluo took a bite of the shrimp ball, and complex emotions surged in her heart.
They are both eldest brothers.
Wen Rufeng, who shares the same blood as her, is selfish and only cares about his future.
However, after Xie Guanlan accepted her as a member of the palace, he took her under his protection...
The old concubine looked at the heavy rain outside the window and said worriedly, "It hasn't rained this hard in the southwest for many years."
Xie Guanlan said nothing and ate very quickly.
Wen Xingluo said softly, "I hope there is nothing wrong in the world."
Xie Guanlan raised his eyelids and glanced at her.
There is nothing to worry about…
This flood was her warning to him.
And she didn't have to do this.
The little girl is young, but she has the whole world in her heart.
Xie Guanlan was about to leave after dinner.
Wen Xingluo followed the old concubine's instructions, took a variety of cakes and filled a box for him, and chased him to the eaves, "Grandma asked you to take it and eat it slowly."
While Xie Guanlan was putting on his straw raincoat, he gestured to Fushan to take it.
Water was pouring under the eaves.
Xie Guanlan fastened the laces of his straw raincoat and glanced at her coldly, "Are you still talking about marriage with the Shen family?"
Wen Xingluo uttered an unclear "hmm".
Xie Guanlan said nothing.
After he turned the corner of the corridor, he said calmly, "Tell Xie Yanchen to return home tomorrow."
Fushan, who was following behind him, seemed to understand something. "The prince wants the second young master to keep an eye on the young lady so as to disrupt her marriage with Shen Yu?"
The Fourth Young Master is really unreliable. He couldn't even keep an eye on Chen Yushi when asked to.
We can only ask the second young master to take action.
Seeing Xie Guanlan remained silent, Fushan smiled and said, "From my humble opinion, Chen Yu is indeed a worthless person and unworthy of our young lady. It's better to mess with her."
…
The next day, Xie Yanchen returned home, and the weather was rare to be sunny.
Shen Yu and Song Lianxin also came over.
Chen Yu also wore a red dress today.
Wen Xingluo's gaze fell on him, but what emerged in his mind was the scene of Xie Guanlan returning home in the rain last night.
Chen Yu looks very good in red clothes.
But compared to Xie Guanlan, the gap is still too big.
Chen Yu questioned, "I've written Miss Wen many letters in the past two weeks, but why haven't you replied to any of them?"
Wen Xingluo thought of those letters.
She only opened one letter and found it quite boring, so she asked Cuicui to burn them all.
She didn't show it on her face, but instead showed a polite smile, "I have never exchanged letters with anyone before. I have been writing for a long time and don't know how to start. I have made Mr. Shen wait for nothing. I am really sorry."
Shen Yu clenched his hands.
Wen Xingluo's attitude was so good, and the look in her eyes when she looked at him was so gentle, which gave him an illusion -
Wen Xingluo likes him.
The thought secretly excited him.
Although Wen Xingluo was only an adopted daughter of the royal palace, she was much more noble than ordinary merchant girls and had more resources behind her.
As long as Wen Xingluo falls in love with her, she will marry him. Even if he doesn't marry into her family, does she dare to say anything?
The talk of marrying into the wife's family was just an excuse he used to deceive her and the Concubine Dowager.
Song Lianxin suddenly tugged at Shen Yu's sleeve.
Chen Yu understood, coughed lightly, and said seriously: "If Miss Wen really feels sorry, then give the gold hairpin on your head to Xin'er! She has been thinking about it at home for a long time since the last time she went back. You and I are talking about marriage, and she is also your sister-in-law. As a sister-in-law, it shouldn't be too much for you to give her a gift when you meet her. Even the prince can't say anything."
Facing the expectant gazes of the two, Wen Xingluo showed an amused look.
She admired Shen Yu's appearance, "What if I don't agree?"
Song Lianxin curled her lips, "If you don't agree, then you're not sincere in proposing marriage to my cousin! I've grown up and never seen a woman as stingy as you! I'm afraid that after you marry me, you won't be able to tolerate me!"
Chen Yu also said: "It's just a gold hairpin, Miss Wen shouldn't be so stingy, right? Xin'er is my cousin, not an outsider. You should treat her as your own sister, why treat her badly?"
Wen Xingluo held a round fan.
She was about to expose the two people's scandal when a gentle voice suddenly came from outside, "Oh, sister, two distinguished guests have come here!"
A young man in white clothes, as graceful as a pine tree, walked in with a smile.
It’s Xie Yanchen.
Wen Xingluo covered his face with a round fan.
It’s nothing, I just feel scared when I see this guy.
Xie Yanchen glanced around the room and didn't see the hair cushion he had given last time.
He was heartbroken, "Sure enough, my sister doesn't like the birthday gift I gave her."
Wen Xingluo felt guilty, "Second brother, I don't dislike you..."
"Forget it," Xie Yanchen waved his hand. "Later, I visited a few shops and found that the cushions they sold were indeed more beautiful than mine. It makes sense that you don't like them. So I improved my cushion and sewed a cloth cover on the outside."
He pulled out two mats like a magic trick.
Just looking at the exquisite satin on the outside, it is really hard to imagine that there are strands of dead person's hair hidden inside.
Wen Xingluo laughed dryly twice.
Can she refuse?
"Miss Wen doesn't like such a beautiful cushion?!" Song Lianxin was surprised.
She walked over and stroked the cushion carefully. "It feels really good, unlike cotton, and it's also flexible. I was worried about the pillow being too soft, and the wheat husk pillow is too hard. If I use this cushion as a pillowcase, wouldn't it be just the right softness and firmness?"
Wen Xingluo: “…”
Those hairs were all plucked from the heads of dead people by Xie Yanchen.
The thought of sleeping with a dead person’s hair as a pillow is terrifying.
Xie Yanchen, however, seemed to have met a close friend and asked happily, "Do you like it?"
Song Lianxin glanced at Wen Xingluo with pride and said crisply, "Not bad!"
"Then I'll give them to you." Xie Yanchen smiled broadly and gave the two mats to Chen Yu and Song Lianxin respectively. "This is the first time in my life that I've met someone who is willing to appreciate my work."
Song Lianxin hugged the cushion and said, "The prince of your family is unattainable. I thought that all powerful and wealthy people were like this, but I didn't expect that the second young master is so approachable."
Shen Yu praised: "It seems that Miss Wen listened to what I said last time."
He said last time: "When we come to visit you again, I hope your family will treat Xin'er better. Otherwise, I'm afraid I can no longer be a son-in-law of the prince."
Wen Xingluo must be afraid of losing him, so in order to make him happy, she specially asked her second brother to accompany the guests.
Her second brother was much better than that prince. He was polite and well-educated, and he even gave them such exquisite cushions.
You can tell at first glance that he's a good person.
