Raiders of the Duke and Duchess

She could only be seen holding the tea cup and looking up slightly. Although he couldn't see his expression clearly, Ning Xiuyuan could still imagine the other party's slightly frowning brows, looking a little embarrassed and helpless.

Every time I surrender to her expression, I let her go to heaven and earth, let her do those dangerous things, let her come and go as she pleases in the secret room of the East Palace as her own back garden, and all my worries are gone. Keep it in your heart and turn it into silence. Finally, I comforted myself that I just liked her the way she was. She was a free sparrow and a soaring eagle and should not be restrained. Besides, don't I just like her like this? She should be given more freedom...

Ning Xiuyuan looked down at Ji Wuyan, and after speaking gently but carefully considering his words, he said, "On the way here, I have been thinking about whether I have interfered too much? You have your own people, You didn't want Xi Yu to know about your own affairs and avoided him. These are all common..." He only said that Ji Wuyan kept the secret from Xi Yu, but didn't mention anything about himself.

Even he himself didn't know whether it was the last bit of pride that made him deliberately avoid it, or whether it was because of the shaky last step.

In the courtyard, Xi Yu opened her mouth and sneezed suddenly. As soon as she made the sound, Xi An quickly covered her mouth with her hands and eyes, and the last remaining sound was swallowed alive. He looked up at the night sky, rubbed his arms again, and wondered, "Could it be that... I really encountered something dirty? Hey, An'a, do you know where the goddess is more effective?"

Xi An slowly wiped his hands on the other party's clothes, and then glanced at Xi Yu with some disgust, "You just caught a cold. People who catch a cold are afraid of the cold." He is the one who is always good at pretending to be mysterious, but why? Why do you still believe in the goddess... If you ask him, this kid has been greedy and greedy in recent times, and he has a guilty conscience!

Xi Yu sniffed... Could it be that he really caught the cold? How many years have you been sick? Are you going to find Mr. Chen tomorrow to get some medicine? If the prescription prescribed by the miracle doctor is used to treat wind and cold, is it equivalent to killing a chicken with a knife?

The atmosphere in the courtyard was eerie and relaxed, but it was completely different inside the house.

Ning Xiuyuan's words were not serious, but they were not understatement either. According to his temperament, he is willing to put these words on the surface, and he must have pondered them in his heart many times. Maybe it started when Xi Yu was sent away for the first time. How could such a smart person not know Ji Wuyan's intentions? However, she herself was still complacent with some childish luck.

She withdrew her gaze, lowered her head and placed it on the tea cup in her hand. Her beautifully manicured nails were digging at the wall of the white porcelain cup unconsciously. She sighed silently, and after a long while, she said softly, "I don't want to hide it from you... It's just that some things were at first... I don’t want you to know it from other people’s mouths, and then...then you don’t know how to speak. I don’t know where to start, and there’s no good time. I feel like I have a small snowball in my hand and want to show it to you. , fell off the road halfway, and the snowball rolled around on the ground, getting bigger, and then rolled around again, and got bigger again. Now, I can’t even hold it in my hands..."

"This is not something worth talking about. Some of it is old stories and family scandals from the older generation. I don't even know them clearly. I speak rashly and worry that you will have a grudge because of it. What do you think of the Ji family, some giant businessmen, etc. The mysterious clan is nothing more than gold and jade on the outside. Some of them are old and new grudges, dirty, bloody, and make people despair and sad... You are such a clean person, so is Ningguo Gongfu... I... "The last sound disappeared in the throat and could not be heard clearly.

Ning Xiuyuan suddenly trembled.

Ji Wuyan held the teacup in both hands and lowered his head, as if he had just been caught in the rain and his whole body was waning. His pride seemed to have dropped to the dust in an instant... When did the little girl show such a look? Something like that? At that moment, Ning Xiuyuan felt as if his heart was being pulled by a hand, causing heart-wrenching pain. The many heartfelt words I had prepared on the road suddenly became unspeakable. It's like... no matter how lightly a word is spoken, it will cause burning pain on the other person's body.

How could he bear her pain?

The breath he had been holding in his chest was slowly exhaled, and in the next moment he stepped out and squatted beside her... In front of her, he had always only surrendered, and the stalemate for so long was already the limit. He put her injured hand in his palm and then raised his eyes to look at her. He said softly, "I came here specially to apply the medicine on you. It's good for you. I haven't left yet, so I gave it all to Matcha Cup." It’s a waste of my time and a waste of Miss Shen’s good ointment.”

"I..." Ji Wuyan pursed his lips, lowered his head and looked a little annoyed, "Nonsense, you are obviously here to talk to me about the emperor..."

"This is just a reason. Or rather, I made my own excuse..." Ning Xiuyuan just squatted there, shaking his head and laughing, "I'm like a stupid, immature boy. , I mind your concealment, I mind it very much, but I don’t want you to know that I am such a narrow-minded person. So I deliberately haven’t come to see you in the past few days, obviously I really, really want to... I want you to do this Angry, but you didn't, you didn't even realize that I didn't come to see you on purpose, so I became more and more awkward with myself...until I heard that you were injured."

"Looking back now, at that time, I was making troubles that only I knew, and at the same time, I was worried about my family Ningning. I was really strange and childish. But what can I do? It's just so awkward and childish, so even if I want I came to see you, and I still racked my brains and thought all the way to find such a barely justifiable reason...childish, right?"

He looked at her smiling, a little relieved, a little naughty, and gently picked up hers with his fingertips, and then asked, "But what should I do? I am such a childish person. I would rather be disgusted, but I would be sad because of it." A grudge?"

This person...why is this person like this? How could he throw his words back to her?

The dark pupils widened slightly. Ji Wuyan looked at the man who squatted on the ground and looked up at him with a sly smile without even caring about his image. He whispered softly, "Obviously, obviously different... you don't know..."

Ning Xiuyuan suddenly stopped all his smiles and said seriously, "If you don't tell me, I naturally don't know. But Ning Ning, no matter it's a quarrel or a major event like the sky falling, as long as it's Everything about you is the same to me, equally important, but equally unimportant."
