Xie Yungui's face darkened, and he raised his other hand to deliver a slap.

Xie Yunqi released his grip, stepped back to the side, and perfectly dodged the palm strike.

"Don't be so temperamental." He waved his fan, still smiling. "Anyway, you ran away on your wedding night, so you probably don't like Miss Jiang. Isn't it perfect for me to take over?"

You don't actually think that once she marries into Flying Snow Manor, she'll ever be able to leave, do you?

"Whether you can leave or not is none of your business." Xie Yungui looked at him with a deep gaze. "Xie Yunqi, don't involve innocent people in our affairs, otherwise, I don't mind sending you to your death."

They are twins and grew up together.

On the surface, they are brothers and brothers, but in reality, they are at odds with each other.

For some reason, Xie Yungui had disliked his half-brother since childhood.

Xie Yunqi has always had a habit of stealing Xie Yungui's things since he was a child.

Anything that belongs to Xie Yungui, whether he likes it or not, he will snatch it away.

But Lin Wantang was completely unaware of all this.

She only saw her two sons getting along well, although they didn't have the same close relationship as typical twins, but at least they were harmonious.

The secret rivalry between the two brothers never escaped Xie Changkong's notice, but he didn't care.

It's normal for them to fight, after all, one of them will be the future heir of Flying Snow Manor, so they have to be ruthless.

As long as no one dies, Xie Changkong turns a blind eye.

"Send me to my death?" Xie Yunqi's smile vanished, his gaze turning icy. "If you could kill me, you would have done it long ago. What have you been hesitating for all these years?"

Xie Yungui didn't answer, but just gave him a cold look before turning around and striding away.

What are you hesitating about?

He just didn't want his mother to be sad.

(* ^ ▽ ^ *)

Guiyunxuan.

"Greetings, Second Young Master."

Xie Yungui waved for everyone to leave.

As soon as he returned to the courtyard, he noticed that there were many more maids, and his forehead unconsciously furrowed.

When I arrived at the room door, I found it was closed.

At this time, Xi Yao was taking a nap inside.

Xie Yungui stood at the door for a long time before finally pushing it open and going in with a blank expression.

He stepped into the room, walked around the screen to the bed, and looked up at it.

When his gaze fell upon that face, Xie Yungui's indifferent expression froze, and his pupils dilated little by little.

The girl on the bed was fast asleep, her jet-black hair spilled onto the pillow, making her face appear almost transparently white.

Her long eyelashes lay still, casting a small shadow beneath her eyelids, trembling slightly with her breath.

With a delicate, straight nose and pale pink lips, she was more captivating than anyone with elaborate makeup, even without any.

Xie Yungui stood motionless, his heart pounding in his chest like a drum.

He subconsciously raised his hand, his fingertips touching his chest, and he could feel the unfamiliar and uncontrollable throbbing even through the fabric.

[Host, host, wake up! Xie Yungui is back! Quickly check if he's the big boss!]

996 screams wildly.

But Xi Yao was fast asleep and didn't want to wake up, so she didn't hear what it was saying.

"Don't make noise, I want to sleep."

She mumbled something, turned over to face outwards, and then fell into a deep sleep again.

That low murmur felt like something had struck Xie Yungui's heart hard.

He couldn't tell if it was pain or something else; he just felt a tightness in his chest and throat.

A feeling of unfamiliarity.

Xie Yungui lowered his eyes, his hand clenched into a fist inside his sleeve.

Then he turned around and walked out very quietly.

The cold expression he had when he arrived had long since vanished, replaced by a tense and somewhat disheveled face.

The door behind him closed, and Xie Yungui tilted his head back and closed his eyes.

The wind blowing through the corridor couldn't dispel the slight burning sensation on my ears.

He clearly came to ask people to move out of the yard.

She can move anywhere, as long as it's not in his Guiyunxuan.

But when he saw her, he couldn't say a word.

It's as if saying it out loud would be a heinous crime.

Xie Yungui glanced back at the door, then finally turned and left.

Xi Yao, however, was completely unaware of what was happening inside the room.

She didn't wake up until nearly half an hour later.

I stretched and rolled around on the bed before hugging the blanket and sighing contentedly, "This is so comfortable. Taking a nap in the summer is really great."

It's not even the hottest time of the year yet, so it feels so good to sleep here.

[Host, do you know what you've missed?]

996 appeared and spoke softly.

"What did I miss?" Xi Yao poked the chubby bird. "I just took a nap, what rare treasure could I possibly miss?"

This sleep was just a bit too long.

996 flapped its wings to dodge the annoying fingers and quickly spoke:

[Host, Xie Yungui returned while you were asleep. He stood by your bedside and watched you for a long time. He even saw you drooling, talking in your sleep, and grinding your teeth!]

"What?!"

Xi Yao, on her deathbed, sat up in shock and subconsciously touched the corner of her mouth.

"FrogFun, 996, you're so unfair! Why didn't you wake me up?!"

How could she let her husband see such an ugly side of her?

This is the first time we've ever met in this world.

How important is the first impression!

"996, you're finished! I'll torture you to death, ahhhhh!"

Xi Yao transformed her divine soul into a hand, grabbed the little chubby bird in her mind, and frantically rubbed it, making all its soft feathers bristle.

[Ahhh, host, I was wrong, I was talking nonsense. You look beautiful even when you're asleep, you're a sleeping beauty. You don't drool, and you don't grind your teeth or talk in your sleep.]

995 screamed and ran away while apologizing and telling the truth.

"Hmph, I knew I wouldn't."

Xi Yao reluctantly gave in to the 996 work schedule once, and narcissistically touched her face, "With my looks, I think my future husband would fall in love with me at first sight again."

996 huddled in a corner, her eyes filled with sorrow, slowly tidying up her disheveled feathers.

Although it has electronic feathers, it is meticulously groomed every day, making it smooth and glossy.

Xi Yao glanced at it, suppressing a smile in her eyes, "996, where is Xie Yungui now?"

[I really want to go to the study, host, you should go find him right away.]

Let it rest and be quiet.

"Okay, I'll go see him."

Xi Yao got up and asked someone to fetch water for her to wash up.

Then, after carefully selecting clothes and putting on beautiful makeup, I went out.

The study is not far from the bedroom; it's just across a connecting corridor.

"Knock knock—"

The knocking startled Xie Yungui, who was sitting behind his desk lost in thought.

He paused for a moment after regaining his senses before saying, "Come in."

Xi Yao pushed open the door and went in. The first thing she saw was the man sitting behind the desk.

His dark hair was half-tied up, with a few stray strands falling beside his face, making his face appear even more aloof and otherworldly.

Her eyebrows resembled distant mountains, her long, narrow phoenix eyes were slightly lowered, her nose was high and straight, her thin lips were slightly pursed, and her jawline was sharp and noble.

She seemed to be carved from ice and jade, exuding a chilling aura that kept people at a distance.

Xi Yao's heart skipped a beat; it really was her husband.

She has a face that makes people want to get close but also dare not, but every angle and every contour is perfectly aligned with her heart.

Even though Xie Yunqi and the person in front of her looked exactly alike, Xi Yao could tell them apart at a glance.

He is her true love.
