Ning Dao Covered with Snow

Chapter 264 Unrequited Love

"No." Xiao Wang denied it quite quickly.

Xiao Qi stared into his eyes and saw that the other party's expression was frank and natural, without any sign of dodging, which showed that the other party really had a clear conscience.

Xiao Yu was not relieved. He turned and asked, "What do you think of Ning Ci?"

Xiao Wang asked back: "Brother, what aspect are you talking about?"

"You know what I'm talking about."

Xiao Wang fell into a long silence.

Xiao Xi's brows gradually furrowed: "Why don't you speak?"

"I don't know how to put it."

"Just say whatever you think. Anyway, there's no one else here. It's just you and me, brothers. You don't have to worry about anything."

Xiao Wang said slowly: "Aci is a very good girl. It is the greatest honor of my life to meet her."

This time it was Xiao Xie who remained silent.

If it had been before, when Xiao Qie heard this, he would definitely think that Xiao Wang was talking about detoxification, but now Xiao Qie knew very well that the honor Xiao Wang was talking about was not just about detoxification.

After a long time, Xiao Qi spoke again, his tone was quite stern.

"How far have you progressed?"

He was really afraid that Xiao Wang would lose control and secretly make the matter a fait accompli with Ning Ci.

Xiao Wang was helpless: "Don't think too much about this matter, brother."

Hearing this, Xiao Xi's brows relaxed slightly, then they knitted together again, his tone getting even lower: "Are you saying that you like her, but she doesn't like you?"

Although he didn't want to admit it, Xiao Wang still nodded.

Xiao Qi put his hands behind his back and walked back and forth in the room. The wrinkles between his eyebrows could kill a mosquito.

"She doesn't even like you, so what else does she want?"

Xiao Wang didn't know whether to laugh or cry. His brother's protective nature came into play again. He consoled her, "Love is about fate. Maybe it's not the right time for her and me. I'm not in a hurry. I'll wait slowly. What's mine won't run away, and what's not mine won't come true even if I force it."

Xiao Yu looked at his sixth brother and snorted, "You can just pretend. If she really marries someone else, I wonder if you can still be so calm and say you can't force it like you are now."

Xiao Wang didn't respond. He asked, "Brother, you came to me just to talk about this?"

Xiao Qie frowned: "What else? I am your elder brother, so of course I have to keep an eye on you, to prevent you from doing something shameful that would bring disgrace to our family in a moment of impulse."

"Brother, don't worry. Not to mention that Ah Ci hasn't fallen in love with me yet, even if she and I have expressed our feelings to each other, it is impossible for me to do something inappropriate before we get married."

"You said it yourself, so you must keep your word."

Xiao Wang repeatedly assured that he would never go back on his word.

Xiao Xi finally felt relieved and turned around and walked out.

He returned to the guest room where he lived. Jiang Tingyue was still awake. When she saw her husband coming back, she immediately hurried over to him and asked curiously, "What happened?"

Xiao Qi replied succinctly: "That boy is just in love with her." "Then between the two of them..."

"Don't worry, nothing happened."

Jiang Tingyue got a definite answer and felt relieved. She helped her husband walk to the bed and said softly, "When we get back to Chang'an, we should tell our grandfather and father about this, okay?"

Xiao Yu sighed, "I have to tell you. Grandfather and father have specifically told me that I must report to them everything related to Liu Lang. Besides, Liu Lang broke off his engagement with Chao Er Niang on his own initiative. I'm afraid that this has already reached my grandfather and father's ears. They will definitely come to question me. When they investigate, the matter between Liu Lang and Ning Ci will definitely not be concealed."

Jiang Tingyue sighed: "Grandfather and father really care about Liu Lang."

"He was young, the youngest child in the family, and lost his mother when he was born. He was also weak and sickly since childhood, so he had to live with Taoist Master Mo in the Taoist temple. He suffered a lot, and the elders in the family felt that they owed him, so they naturally cared for him more."

When he was a child, Xiao Qie also had a grudge against Xiao Wang, after all, they were not born by the same mother. Later, Xiao Wang was taken away by Taoist Mo Dao and was gone for nine years. It was not until Xiao Wang was ten years old that he was sent back to the Xiao family. I don’t know whether it was because the life in the Taoist temple was too hard or because he was weak and sickly, he was thinner than his peers. At that time, Xiao Qie had grown into a little adult. He looked at the little bean who was much shorter than him, and listened to him calling him brother seriously. A sense of mission as a brother suddenly arose. After that, he often took care of Xiao Wang, and the relationship between the two brothers became more and more harmonious.

Looking back now, Xiao Xie feels that the reason why he was able to accept Xiao Wang as his sixth brother so quickly was mainly because Xiao Wang was so well-behaved and obedient. Especially when compared with the other four naughty brothers at home, Xiao Wang was like a good baby who walked out of a New Year picture. Not only was he handsome but he also had a well-behaved personality. He was really adorable!

In his dream that day, Xiao Xi dreamed of the time when he and his sixth brother were together when they were young.
When he woke up the next morning, Xiao Xi recalled what he had seen in his dream and couldn't help but sigh.

Seeing this, Jiang Tingyue asked curiously, "Why are you sighing so early in the morning?"

"Liu Lang was really obedient when he was little. In comparison, our Ating is really naughty."

As soon as he finished speaking, he heard a knock on the door and Xiao Ting's voice came in through the door.

"Father, Mother, I don't want to ride in a carriage today. I want to ride horses with Uncle Six and the others!"

Jiang Tingyue showed a helpless look to her husband, then went to open the door and said to Xiao Ting: "You are still young, if you can't control the horse's back and fall off, you will get hurt."

Xiao Ting refused to listen and insisted on riding a horse!

At this time, Xiao Wang in the next room had also dressed neatly and walked out of the room. He heard Xiao Ting's shouting and took the initiative to speak.

"Let me take Ating on horseback, and when he gets tired of playing, I'll let him get back on the car."

Xiao Ting jumped three feet high with excitement: "Great! Thank you, Uncle Six, you are such a good man!"

Xiao Xie came out and lectured him with a stern face: "You are making a noise here so early in the morning. You have no manners at all!"

Facing his father, Xiao Ting restrained himself a little, but he could not hide the excitement on his face.

Xiao Xi said to Xiao Wang, "A Ting is too naughty. He always does whatever he wants. We can't indulge him."

Xiao Wang said gently, "It's okay. It's not a bad thing to like riding horses. When he grows up, brother can teach him how to ride horses and play polo. It should be a great feeling for father and son to play polo together."

Xiao Ting was even more excited: "I like playing polo! I used to watch my father play polo with others. It was so much fun!"

Xiao Qie reached out and pressed Xiao Ting's head, signaling him to behave himself and not get too carried away.

He once again sighed in his heart, wishing that this little brat of his could be as well-behaved and sensible as his sixth brother was when he was a child.

At this time, Yan Ciwan, Chaolu and others also walked out of the room one after another.

Today, Yan Ciwan was still wearing a clean and neat Hu riding outfit, with his hair combed into a single bun, with only a silver hairpin as decoration.

Chaolu noticed the silver hairpin on her head at a glance and asked curiously.

“When did you buy new jewelry?”
