Chapter 199 Miss Xie's Fiancé

Xiao Bicheng narrowed his eyes when he heard this. "It's only been a short time since you broke off the engagement. How could you get married so soon? Even if you want to find an excuse to fool me, you should have found someone better!"

He didn't believe it. Xie Zhuoning clearly still loved him in her heart, so how could she fall in love with someone else so quickly?

Xie Zhuoning raised his lips in a mocking arc, "Your Highness the Crown Prince has already married and divorced his wife. If we talk about speed, I can't compare to you!"

Why, the officials are allowed to set fires, but the common people are not allowed to light lamps?

After choking, Xiao Bicheng simply changed the subject and asked, "Since you said you are engaged, what is the other party's name and identity?"

Xie Zhuoning said, "He is just an ordinary person. Even if I tell him, the prince won't recognize him."

"It doesn't matter if you don't know him. Today is your birthday, and he will definitely come. When we meet, we will naturally get to know each other."

Xiao Bicheng sat down on the first seat with a big knife and an axe, and he made up his mind that he would not leave unless he saw anyone today.

Xie Zhuoning bit his teeth into pieces.

Where could she go to conjure up a person for Xiao Bicheng at this moment?

Seeing her expression, Xiao Bicheng became more certain of his guess - what the hell is this engagement? She was just trying to trick him!

"Why? Is it that the other party has a special identity and I cannot bear to see him? Is it possible that the person Sister Zhuoning is talking about is the Seventeenth Uncle?"

Xie Zhuoning was just thinking about using Xiao Jinxuan as a shield.

But he quickly realized that he had almost fallen into Xiao Bicheng's trap!

Xiao Jinxuan is a member of the royal family. If a princess is to be chosen, the emperor must issue an order and then inform the clan house. In addition, three letters and six betrothals, as well as various other etiquette, are essential.

Now that the emperor is seriously ill, the Crown Prince and Prince Yong are in charge of the country. If Xiao Jinxuan really gets engaged to her and the memorial is submitted, Xiao Bicheng will definitely be the first to know about it.

So once she admitted that the person she was engaged to was Xiao Jinxuan, Xiao Bicheng could be sure that she was lying!

She smiled lightly, "Prince, you are joking. How can I be so high up as to marry His Royal Highness Prince Xuan?"

"Oh?" Xiao Bicheng was obviously surprised when he heard this answer.

His seventeenth uncle even gave her his private seal. In the end, do they have no relationship at all?

"You don't even want the Seventeenth Uncle. Now I want to know who you are engaged to."

Xiao Bicheng sipped his tea calmly, his expression relaxed and unhurried.

Xie Minglang and Princess Yunheng also took the opportunity to get close to Xie Zhuoning and lowered their voices.

"Sister, when did you get engaged? How come I didn't know?"

"Yes, Sister Ning, why didn't you tell me about such a big thing?"

Xie Zhuoning: "..."

She simply didn't want to have anything to do with Xiao Bicheng anymore, so she just made up an excuse.

Who knew that Xiao Bichen would be so persistent in getting to the bottom of the matter?

Just as she was racking her brains to think of where to find a fiancé, Fuling came in and whispered in her ear, "Miss, Mr. Murong is here. Do you want to invite him in?"

Xie Zhuoning's eyes lit up, "Please invite him in!"

After that, she turned to Xiao Bicheng and said, "Your Highness, my fiancé is here!"

Xiao Bicheng was stunned for a moment.

She actually has a fiancé?

Princess Yunheng and Xie Minglang also looked towards the door curiously.

Soon, a figure walked in slowly.

He was dressed in blue, thin and handsome, holding a scroll in his arms, and his figure was solemn and graceful.

The backlight faded away, revealing a face as gentle as jade. Under the sword-like brows, there was a pair of eyes as deep as a clear pond.

Xie Zhuoning immediately stepped forward and asked in a coquettish tone, "Why did you come just now?"

There was a hint of complaint in her coquettishness, just like a little girl who had been waiting for her lover for a long time.

Murong Yan's heart skipped a beat, and even his mind seemed to go blank for a moment.

This was the first time Xie Zhuoning spoke to him in such an intimate tone.

But when he saw Xiao Bicheng sitting in the upper seat, he seemed to understand something and immediately followed Xie Zhuoning's words and said, "I'm preparing a birthday present for you, so I'm a little late."

Xie Zhuoning's face instantly lit up with joy. "I knew you wouldn't forget your fiancée's birthday. If you really dare to forget, I'll be angry and ignore you!"

fiancée?!

Murong Yan felt a little dizzy after hearing this title, and he tried his best to restrain himself and stay calm.

He continued, "Such an important day, how dare I forget it? Open it and see if you like it?"

As he spoke, he handed the scroll in his arms to Xie Zhuoning.

Xie Zhuoning happily took the scroll and opened it. The phoenix feathers were spread out and hundreds of birds were paying homage to it. It was so lifelike that it seemed as if it was about to fly out of the paper.

Even the feathers are clearly three-dimensional, which shows how much effort was put into it!

Xie Zhuoning looked at the painting with twinkling eyes, "Thank you, I like it very much."

Murong Yan will always be the one who understands her the best. He knows that she doesn't want to be a dependent little bird, but only wants to be a phoenix soaring in the sky!

The affectionate look of the two deeply pierced Xiao Bicheng's eyes. He sneered disdainfully, "From what I see, this painting doesn't look like a work by a famous artist. For Sister Zhuoning's birthday, you gave her an unknown painting. Isn't that too insincere?"

Xie Zhuoning immediately stood in front of Murong Yan, looking protective, "Your Highness, you may not know that we were connected by painting and fell in love because of it. Although this painting is not the work of a famous artist, it was created by Yanlang himself, stroke by stroke. Every stroke is a token of his love for me, and is also a testimony to our deep love!"

The first time they met, she spent money to buy all his paintings.

It is not wrong to say that we met through painting.

Murong Yan looked at Xie Zhuoning who was standing in front of him, and listened to what she said. His heart trembled, as if it was being tightened by circles of silk thread, numb and painful, but a hint of sweetness overflowed from the pain.

He hoped that everything she said now was true.

But he knew that could never be true.

But even though he had a clear understanding in his heart, those despicable thoughts in his heart still surged in irresistibly!

Let this moment last a little longer, a little longer!

Xiao Bicheng looked at Xie Zhuoning, then at Murong Yan, and just couldn't believe that the two of them would be together.

His eyes fell on Murong Yan, "Since you two have such a good relationship, I believe you know Sister Zhuoning very well. How about you play a game with me?"

If they truly love each other, they will understand each other deeply.

On the contrary, if he doesn't even know what Zhuo Ning likes, then either he is being hypocritical to her, which just allows her to see his true colors; or the two of them are just pretending to be in love and their relationship is just a show!

Murong Yan agreed without hesitation, "Okay."

The game was proposed by Xiao Bicheng, so he was naturally confident of winning, so he hypocritically asked Princess Yunheng to set the questions to show fairness.

Princess Yunheng took the lead and immediately asked her servants to prepare things.

Soon, everything was ready.

A screen blocked Xie Zhuoning behind.

There were two dishes on the table:

One dish is steamed pheasant marrow and the other is chopped pepper fish head.

Princess Yunheng asked, "Excuse me, which dish does Sister Ning like?"

Xiao Bicheng confidently stretched out his hand and pointed at the steamed phoenix marrow.

Murong Yan pointed calmly at the remaining chopped pepper fish head.

"You lost!" Xiao Bicheng raised the corners of his lips in mockery.

Sister Zhuoning can’t eat spicy food at all, so how could she like chopped pepper fish head?

He doesn't understand her at all!
