After the commotion, the atmosphere returned to normal...that would be strange.

Pretending that they had never talked about obscene topics, Xue Li sent Jiang Yiran away and hid in a corner of the viewing window sill, then continued to talk to her girl on the phone.

After that interruption, everything seemed easier to say.

"Ningning, your elder brother and I... I'm sorry, I won't bother him..."

Jiang Yining couldn't understand Xue Li's thoughts from beginning to end.

Why should we apologize to the person who has the least right to make decisions when interacting with each other?

Even if they want to get married, the first hurdle should be the eldest brother's biological mother Chi Jing.

It doesn't matter whether she objects or not.

What's more...she recalled the whole process from the first time she met Xue Li to now. She had never expressed any opposition or resistance, right?
Jiang Yining was so confused that he asked this question.

Xue Li whispered:
"Have you forgotten? You said that only a princess is worthy of your elder brother..."

Jiang Yining fell silent for a moment after hearing this.

That's exactly what she thought when she was a child.

At that time, there were not many people she could directly contact, and reading and studying were her safest way to contact the world.

When I read a book, I sometimes imagine the people around me as characters.

There is nothing wrong with general classics, but the male characters depicted in some fairy tales almost always overlap highly with my brothers, so it is even more difficult to avoid substituting my brothers for the princes and knights in the fairy tales.

In the end, many of the princes and knights have a happy ending with the princess, and her brother is certainly no worse than the one in the fairy tale!
Apart from his family, Xue Li is the friend who has been with him the longest. The age difference of several years has not become a barrier, and the two of them often get together to chat.

Because of this relationship and the lack of blood ties, Jiang Yining only revealed his entanglement with the Ye family to Xue Li.

only……

Xue Li actually remembered her words and took them seriously... Well, in fact, she still thinks so in her heart, but after growing up, she no longer speaks these words out loud.

These words must have been said unintentionally at that time.

But, Xue Li probably got her definition of "princess" wrong.

There are no princesses in Huaguo, and her brothers are not princes in name only...

Jiang Yining raised his lips and asked softly:

"If you want to satisfy me and be with my brother, why can't you just be a 'princess'?"

Xue Li obviously didn't expect the little girl to ask this, and she was stunned for a moment.

"what?"

She was a little slow before she gradually realized that the "princess" the little girl mentioned did not only refer to her body. Her body suddenly became hot inexplicably, as if something was about to break out.

Then, Jiang Yining continued to say:
"I used to think my brother was like a prince, so I thought he should be with the princess. Now I think my brother has become a king, so it's best for him to be with the queen."

Of course, what she thinks is just her feeling. No matter how much others think, it is useless. Everything depends on what her brother likes.

Xue Li blurted out subconsciously:

"I will be queen!"

Jiang Yining burst out laughing.

"Aren't you already a movie queen?"

Xueli also laughed.

"Ningning, I understand what you mean. I know myself well. I am still a long way from becoming the 'queen'. At least, I have to reach the level of Aunt Chi, so that I can be considered... barely worthy of him."

Jiang Yining was silent for a moment, thinking that he seemed to have made things even more troublesome.

With her repeated instigation, my eldest brother's marriage is becoming increasingly difficult to achieve.

It's a good thing to want to climb up, but she doesn't care about the rest.

After breaking through the thin paper, the two were able to speak freely again. Jiang Yining hinted that Xue Li should not put friendship and love on the same scale.

Xue Li disagreed, and said the most indifferent words in a matter-of-fact voice:

"Ningning is the most important person to me in this world. What's wrong with giving priority to you?"

No matter how important love is, it cannot compare to the person who gave her a chance to be reborn.

Without this chance of rebirth, she doesn't even have the thought of living, so what's the point of talking about love?
Jiang Yining was silent for a while before he whispered:
"The most important person to you should be yourself first."

Xue Li smiled, but didn't agree or respond. She obviously didn't want to argue and insisted on her own idea.

Knowing her stubbornness, Jiang Yining didn't say anything else and left the problem to his eldest brother to solve.

The two chatted for a long time and for a moment forgot the main purpose of the conversation.

Xue Li didn't care about her image at all, and never even looked directly at Jiang Yiran, who came over to show his face from time to time. She moved from the bay window sill to the bed, and from the bed to the sofa, rolling around almost every place in the room where she could sit or lie down.

The condition of her younger sister who was chatting with her should be not much different.

In the end, it was Jiang Yiran who finished today's work, and even handled a lot of tomorrow's work beyond the target. The two women continued to chat endlessly, and when their patience ran out, they reminded him that tomorrow was a working day.

The only two women in the world he has absolutely no way to deal with.

Only then did Xue Li let out an "ah" and sat up straight.

She ignored Jiang Yiran who sat next to her and leaned close to her. She turned her back and faced him with the back of her head, still concentrating on talking to Jiang Yining:

"Oh, that's right! What's the urgent matter Ningning is talking about?"

Jiang Yining considered it for a moment before saying:

"I was processing data in the computer room these days and saw a project about embryo genetic optimization—"

Before he could finish his words, chaos suddenly broke out over Xue Li's side.

"You found out?! I understand--"

"Damn it! What are you doing? Are you trying to suffocate me? Ugh—"

After a few dull shouts and curses, the voice on the other end of the phone suddenly became ambiguous.

No one spoke, and the occasional low hum was mixed with some indescribable noise.

——Jiang Yining had heard this kind of noise when she was with Mu Chen.

When she realized what the sound was, the phone felt like it was burning, so hot that she couldn't hold it and it fell onto the bed.

Jiang Yining was greatly shocked.

Her eldest brother, compared to Mu Chen, seems to be even better.

Both of them are the kind of men who look aloof and cold in normal times, but are like this in private... Meng Lang?
As soon as the thought came to his mind, Jiang Yining quickly shook his head.

She couldn't think of her brother like that... Although she tried her best to put her brother on the distant snowy ridge, it was too late.

Her head was so occupied with messy thoughts that she ignored Xueli. It was Xueli who interrupted her first with a surprised voice, and then the series of ambiguous sounds came.

She took a few breaths to cool down her face, but before she could adjust, she heard Jiang Yiran's voice calling her "Ningning" from the phone that had fallen on the bed.

Jiang Yining picked up the phone awkwardly.
