After a master of metaphysics severed ties with his family, the whole family was filled with regret!

Chapter 85 Another beautiful older sister

Ao Sihan rubbed his head and then looked at Luo Chujiu:
"I'm sorry, Sixth Aunt, it was Sihan who was presumptuous."

"It's alright, nephew, your aunt won't hold it against you." Luo Chujiu said with a smile.

Ao Sihan looked utterly defeated.

Kong Xianling, Ao Yuan, and Nalan Qingyin didn't pay attention to the interaction between the two and started chatting while waiting for Fu Heng and Ruan Baobao to arrive.

Ao Sihan also took the opportunity to sized up his 'little aunt':

She's just a little girl, yet I have to call her aunt. This generational difference is really unfair! Also, Dad says that Sixth Aunt is very capable, but he hasn't seen anything special about her.

Luo Chujiu knew that Ao Sihan was looking her up and down, so she let him keep his gaze on her.

Suddenly!
She unexpectedly looked up and glared at him!
Ao Sihan was so frightened that he slumped off his seat.

Everyone was drawn to the commotion caused by Ao Sihan's sudden death and couldn't help but look at him:

"How can you sit like that! What kind of posture do you have?"

Ao Yuan glared at his son, annoyed. What a disgrace!

Knowing he was in the wrong, Ao Sihan quickly sat up straight and didn't dare to look at Luo Chujiu anymore.

Luo Chujiu covered her mouth and chuckled, realizing she had pranked him.

Nalan Qingyin had been paying attention to Luo Chujiu's little actions. Seeing how lively she was and even teasing her little nephew, she knew that Luo Chujiu was in a good mood, so she didn't say anything.

As long as my junior sister is happy, what's wrong with joking and teasing my nephew? It's my nephew's honor!

Kong Xianling had already sent people to prepare dinner, and Fuheng and Ruan Baobao finally arrived before dinner.

"Eldest brother, second brother, fourth brother, and little sister, this is my daughter, Ruan Baobao. Baobao, quickly say hello to your uncles and aunts," Fuheng greeted, proudly introducing his beloved daughter to his fellow disciples.

"Bao'er has met her eldest uncle, second uncle, fourth uncle, and sixth aunt."

Ruan Baobao bowed gracefully to everyone.

When Luo Chujiu saw Ruan Baobao, her eyes lit up again:
Third Senior Brother's daughter is so beautiful! Although she can't compare to Cousin Kui Kui, she's still a great beauty!
Ao Sihan, standing to the side, was also stunned! He was deeply attracted to Ruan Baobao.

Ruan Baobao had always followed Fuheng around the country, while Ao Sihan had always stayed in the capital to guard the family business, so the two had never met.

When Ao Yuan saw that his son's eyes were practically glued to his third junior brother's precious daughter, he glared at him to signal him not to go too far, and only then did Ao Sihan withdraw his infatuated gaze.

Once everyone had arrived, Kong Xianling instructed them to move to the dining hall for dinner.

The dishes on the table were all carefully prepared, and everyone enjoyed the meal.

After dinner, the four brothers decided to have a drink and chat together, so they let Luo Chujiu take her two nephews to play elsewhere.

Luo Chujiu made things easier by leading the people to sit down in the courtyard. Then, servants brought out tea and snacks, and they simply sat in the courtyard to enjoy the moon.

"I feel a little awkward calling you baby. Do you have a nickname or something?"

Luo Chujiu took the initiative to initiate a conversation and asked Ruan Baobao.

"Sixth Aunt, you can call me Yuyan."

"Yu Yan? It's a very gentle name, just like you." Luo Chujiu praised without reservation.

Upon hearing this, Ruan Baobao covered her mouth and chuckled softly, then looked at Luo Chujiu:
"Thank you for the compliment, Sixth Aunt."

"I'm just telling the truth. I'm the second prettiest girl I've ever seen. I just love talking to and making friends with pretty girls," Luo Chujiu said with a smile to Ruan Baobao.

"Oh? Who was the prettiest girl that Sixth Aunt had ever seen?" Ruan Baobao asked this not to compare herself to others, but simply out of curiosity about who the prettiest girl was.

“My cousin, Consort Jiang, she’s really beautiful! If you’ve ever seen her, you’ll be attracted to her too!” Luo Chujiu said with great certainty.

Upon hearing this, Ruan Baobao smiled.

"There probably isn't a chance. After all, Consort Jiang is a concubine in the palace, and I don't have much of a chance to enter the palace and see her stunning beauty."

After hearing Luo Chujiu mention that the person was Consort Jiang, Ruan Baobao understood.

Consort Jiang's beauty is probably known throughout the entire Nanzhao Kingdom. How could I possibly compare myself to her? I am ashamed of my inferiority.

“That’s true. But if there’s a chance, I can bring you into the palace so you can meet your cousin Kui Kui. She’s a very nice person and I’m sure she’ll like you,” Luo Chujiu couldn’t help but say.

"We'll talk about it when the opportunity arises."

Ruan Baobao neither agreed nor refused, somewhat worried that her entry into the palace would cause trouble for Luo Chujiu, so she decided to leave it at that for the time being.

Ao Sihan kept carefully observing Ruan Baobao, and when she looked at him, he couldn't help but look away, feeling very shy.

Luo Chujiu noticed Ao Sihan's little actions and couldn't help but take a few more glances.

A young man just beginning to experience love can't hide his feelings at all!

"Nephew, how old are you this year?"

"I'm twenty-two."

"Oh, you're already twenty-two? Are you engaged?"

In ancient times, a 22-year-old man was considered quite old; he was usually engaged or even had a father.

"No, no, I think marriage shouldn't be rushed, so I'll only get married when I meet a woman I like and who is compatible with me," Ao Sihan explained, glancing at Ruan Baobao again.

When Ruan Baobao heard Ao Sihan's words, she couldn't help but glance at him.

There aren't many men who think like this anymore, and Ruan Baobao thinks Ao Sihan is quite interesting.

"And Yu Yan, what are your thoughts on marriage?" Luo Chu Jiu asked tentatively.

Ruan Baobao didn't expect Luo Chujiu to ask her, but after thinking for a moment, she still answered seriously:
"I don't have any plans to get married yet. It would be nice to spend my life traveling around with my father. But if I really meet my destined one, I won't deliberately avoid him."

Ruan Baobao's words were very insightful, which Luo Chujiu greatly appreciated.

When Ao Sihan heard the first half of Ruan Baobao's sentence, he was very frustrated, but after hearing the rest, a glimmer of confidence rekindled.

"What kind of man does Yu Yan like?"

As if knowing what Ao Sihan wanted to ask, Luo Chujiu asked the question.

"He must be loyal in relationships and treat me well. I don't have any other requirements."

Ruan Baobao doesn't have high requirements for her partner, but there's one thing that many men might not be able to do.

That is, she did not allow her husband to take a concubine, only allowed the two of them to have each other, and their feelings could not be tainted by a third person.

"Your requirements aren't high, they're quite easy to find. If I meet a promising young man, I'll definitely introduce him to you!"

When Luo Chujiu said this, she deliberately looked at Ao Sihan. Ao Sihan suddenly became a little anxious, clenching his fists, but he couldn't say anything.
