The daughter of the metaphysical fortune teller: she is the best at eating melons to prolong life

Chapter 264 Refuse to Propose Marriage
Knowing that Xie Lan was still going to deal with Xie Donghai and the others, Aunt Zhang and Tiechui did not persuade her to stop. None of the Xie family members were sincere to their daughter.

As elders, they did such cruel things. If Xie Lan hadn't been able to protect himself, he would have ended up in a terrible situation. They should be punished so that they wouldn't do anything more outrageous in the future.

Night falls.

After Xie Lan finished washing up, she prepared to go back to the dormitory to rest.

"Mammy, you don't need to wait on me here. Your wounds haven't healed yet. Go downstairs and rest. Tiechui should go too. There's a big show to watch in the middle of the night. Take the time to rest."

There was nothing to watch in the middle of the night. The girl must have wanted to continue cleaning up the second and third rooms.

Nanny Zhang and Tiechui didn't ask any questions and just waited for the time to come before following Xie Lan.

After they left, Xie Lan walked into the dormitory and bolted the door. As soon as he turned around the screen, he suddenly found a tall man sitting in the dormitory.

Her eyes widened and she froze where she was.

Why did Lord Xiao come to Xie’s house and enter her bedroom quietly?

Thinking about what happened in the cave, Xie Lan felt really embarrassed and didn't know how to face him. For a moment, she even wanted to turn around and run away.

It was obvious that the other party was looking at him quietly, so Xie Lan could only bite the bullet and ask, "It's so late, why did Lord Xiao come here? Is there anything urgent?"

Xiao Jin was staring at her intently, so he naturally didn't miss the expression on her face. Thinking of the scene where she knocked him out, his eyes narrowed slightly.

"Can't I come to you if it's not urgent?"

Xiao Jin's face was gentle and his tone was extremely gentle, but Xie Lan felt that he seemed unhappy?

"Master Xiao, this is my boudoir."

Although it seemed like she was answering something irrelevant, Xiao Jin understood her hidden meaning.

"I see, there's nothing wrong with my eyes."

Xie Lan choked.

"Why didn't you go to the academy?" If he hadn't come back from the cave and waited for her in the Royal Academy for several days without seeing her, he wouldn't have done such a thing as breaking into her boudoir at night.

Xie Lan complained in her heart, why else? Such an embarrassing thing happened and she hadn't figured out how to face him yet. She didn't go to the academy just to avoid him.

But of course I can't say this.

"Nothing, just take care of some housework."

Xiao Jin's eyes darkened, realizing that she was not telling the truth. He hesitated for a moment, but finally did not force her.

"Do you need my help?"

"No, I can handle it on my own."

Xie Lan was used to being independent and didn't want to rely on others. It wasn't difficult to deal with the Xie family, she could do it by herself.

After knowing each other for such a long time, Xiao Jin knew her personality to some extent.

After a moment of silence, he suddenly said, "Are you going to stand so far away and talk to me? It's late at night and if you speak too loudly, your girl might hear you."

Xie Lan's expression froze. She didn't want to get close to him. It was too embarrassing. But she knew what he said made sense, so she could only bite the bullet and walk over to sit next to him as if nothing had happened.

"My Lord, you came to see me, is there something wrong?" Xiao Jin glanced at her and answered irrelevantly, "Why did you knock me out?"

Xie Lan paused, she knew he would ask about this, "Um... I was too quick and accidentally knocked you out, sorry."

Xiao Jin could tell at a glance that she was not telling the truth, and his sword eyes narrowed dangerously, "If it was careless, why did you leave me alone and run away?
Don't you think it's ungrateful to throw it away after using it, Miss Xie?"

Xie Lan blinked. What do you mean by throwing it away after use? It made her sound like a scumbag.

"You're too big and hurt me, so I had no choice but to knock you out." As soon as she said this, Xie Lan wanted to bite her tongue off in frustration. Her cheeks instantly turned red, and she wished she could find a crack in the ground to crawl into.

Xiao Jin was stunned. He had thought of many possibilities, but this was the only question he had never thought of.

After an awkward cough, Xiao Jin said gently, "Are you feeling better now? If it still hurts a lot, I'll ask the imperial physician to come and see you."

As soon as Xiao Jin finished speaking, he suddenly realized that all imperial physicians were men, and Xie Lan's injured part was not suitable for examination by an imperial physician.

He stood up with an apologetic look on his face, "Um... no... I'll go get a female doctor for you."

Xie Lan was a little embarrassed at first, but when she saw his embarrassed look, she knew that he was not much better than herself.

Not to mention that she was no longer in pain, even if she was still in pain, it was not good for outsiders to know about such a private matter. Xie Lan was afraid that he would really ask someone to see her, so she quickly reached out and pulled his sleeve, "Don't go..."

Xiao Jin didn't know why she wanted to stop him, so he frowned and turned around. Xie Lan was so anxious that she didn't stop and bumped into his arms.

Xiao Jin only felt that his heart was filled with warmth and softness, but Xie Lan felt that his straight nose was about to break and he was in tears due to the pain.

Seeing the man in front of him with deep eyes staring at him, Xie Lan panicked and quickly stepped back two steps, "No need to call a doctor, I'm much better now. If you are okay, go back and rest early."

Seeing that she didn't want to talk about the previous topic anymore, Xiao Jin paused and said nothing more. However, he secretly planned to ask the imperial physician after returning to see if he could find some suitable medicine to apply to her to relieve her pain.

Xie Lan had no idea what he was thinking. Seeing that he did not leave, she walked back to where she had been and sat down. Suddenly, she felt a headache.

Did this person want to ask about her injuries? Although she was a modern soul, it was awkward to talk about such a private part with the other person.

Just as Xie Lan was racking his brains to change the subject, he heard Xiao Jin's deep voice asking, "When do you want me to ask someone to propose marriage?"

Xie Lan's eyes suddenly widened and he blurted out, "Why do you want to propose marriage?"

Seeing her so surprised, Xiao Jin's eyes darkened, "Why, you don't plan to marry me?"

"Um... last time, thank you for helping me detoxify. It was just an accident, don't take it to heart."

Xiao Jin narrowed his eyes dangerously. Was this little sister really planning to throw it away after using it? If he didn't want to scare people away, he really wanted to bring the official media to make a decision.

"Miss Xie, I lost my innocence in order to help you detoxify. Shouldn't you be responsible for me?"

Xie Lan was dumbfounded. "Although you helped me detoxify, you didn't suffer any loss, right? Let's just consider this matter even." She thought she had made her attitude clear, but when she thought about the fact that she would inevitably run into this Lord Xiao again in the academy in the future, some things had to be made clear to avoid mutual embarrassment and causing unnecessary misunderstandings.

"To be honest with you, Master Xiao, I am destined to die young. My master said that I will not live past the age of marriage. Therefore, I cannot get married. You don't have to take the previous things to heart.

I will return to Sanqing Mountain in a few days, and I will not come to the capital again. If you have a girl you like, you can marry her."

Xiao Jin didn't have any favorite girl, so he automatically ignored the second half of her sentence and just looked at her with a frown, "Master said that you are destined to die young?"

Xie Lan had no idea that the person in front of him was his senior brother whom he had never met, nor did he hear anything unusual when he mentioned the word "master". He was only focused on discouraging him from proposing marriage.

"Yes, my fate is unlucky for relatives and friends, so I am not suitable for marriage."
