Crown Jewels

Chapter 187 Qi Yuan's Appeasement

Sister Leyi never let go of Qi Yuan's hand from when she was sent to the hospital to when she received the doctor's diagnosis and treatment.

Fu Sinian tried to reach out and tug, but the little girl on the couch only frowned.

He couldn't bear to continue to torment Song Leyi, and exhorted Qi Yuan beside him.

"You will take care of Sister Leyi first. I will go to the big restaurant facing the street to buy some porridge. It will be cleaner. If there is anything wrong with my cousin, you can send an apprentice from the restaurant to report to me."

Seeing that Qi Yuan readily agreed, Fu Sinian looked at Song Leyi who was on the bed worriedly, and then quickly walked out of the Changchun hall and headed towards the restaurant.

Qi Yuan looked at Song Leyi, the gentleness in Taohua's eyes disappeared, and the lines of the straight bones were not so smooth because of the self-blame in the eyebrows and eyes.

You know, the bowl of ice powder in the teahouse was ordered by him for Song Leyi. If only he had been more cautious and paid more attention to the little girl back then, and asked her what she tabooed.

At this moment, a whisper came from his ear, and Qi Yuan saw the little girl opened her almond eyes. She was still not very energetic, but her condition was much better than before.

Helping Song Leyi cover the quilt, waiting for the little girl's almond eyes to fully focus, Qi Yuan patted him on the shoulder softly, and comforted him in a warm voice.

"Leyi, don't worry!"

"The doctor said just now that the red spots on your face are not serious, just apply ointment and eat a light diet, and rest in bed for a few days. You don't need to worry, there will be no scars."

Hearing this, Song Leyi turned her gaze around Qi Yuan's eyebrows, and nodded slightly at him for a while.

There was some silence in the house, Qi Yuan glanced at Song Leyi who was gloomy, and spoke softly after thinking about it.

"Brother Mu Yuan, let's talk to Le Yi for a while, okay?"

After saying this, Qi Yuan saw Song Leyi's eyes light up, and nodded slightly at her.

This obedient appearance is very attractive, Qi Yuan's peachy eyes showed a little more genuine smile, after thinking about it again, the tone dragged on.

"Then...you tell Brother Mu Yuan, apart from this lotus root starch, what else is Le Yi not allowed to touch?" Brother, can you tell me?"

Even at this moment, Qi Yuan's voice was full of coaxing, Song Leyi felt a little sore in her heart, but nodded obediently again, her dry pink lips parted slightly, but found that her voice was slightly hoarse. After drinking the warm water with Yuan's hand, Song Leyi said a few words to him.

Qi Yuan never felt impatient when he heard the words, he just sat next to him and patiently wrote down everything she said silently.

"Yeah--Brother Mu Yuan has written it down, and in the future, he will help Leyi to check it out!" Song Leyi opened her eyes wide, holding back the sour emotions, and the seriousness in Qi Yuan's eyes made the little girl lower her eyes silently. The child-like voice came out, which made people feel distressed.

"But it's too late—"

"what?"

Qi Yuan didn't hear clearly, when he met the little girl's slightly flushed eyes, there was a bit of seriousness in Tao Hua's eyes.

Song Leyi shook her head hastily, bent her lips and smiled at her, but the smile didn't reach her eyes, making people feel inexplicably sad, meeting Qi Yuan's worried eyes.

"Brother Muyuan, I'm fine—"

"I just feel that I can't help my eyes from being itchy. Oh, by the way, Brother Mu Yuan, do you really want to get married?"

When the little girl asked this question, she opened her round eyes and looked at Qi Yuan. Curiosity flickered in her pupils, but Qi Yuan felt that something was wrong. After all, under Song Leyi's urging, she expressed her thoughts.

Qi Yuan hummed lightly, and seemed to be thinking seriously.

"The ancestors said that self-cultivation, family governance, and the world are peaceful. Now that I have joined the Dali Temple, marrying a wife is to appease my father's last wish, and secondly, to have a harmonious family house. Isn't that bad?"

Qi Yuan's rhetorical question made Song Leyi wrinkle her nose, but she also felt hopeful.

"Does Brother Muyuan like your fiancee?"

Looking at Song Leyi's inquisitive almond eyes, Qi Yuan was stunned, and after a while, he pursed his lips and said something softly.

"Would love-"

"and--"

Qi Yuan was about to say that his fiancée was the daughter of the current Qing Jiang Jin of Dali Temple, and his father must have a good temperament under the influence of his ears and eyes, so that the family house can be harmonious, and the husband and wife can respect each other as guests.

Song Leyi's heart sank again, looking at the gentle smile in Qi Yuan's eyes at this moment, she felt as if she had poured a cup of bitter soup down her throat, densely clogging her facial features, as if she couldn't escape even her breathing Bitter and irrepressible at the same time, Song Leyi felt a kind of jealousy towards Qi Yuan's unmarried wife that even she hadn't noticed.

Under the torment of mixed emotions, the smile on Qi Yuanduan's face made Song Leyi feel a little dazzling, and it seemed that there was a thorn in her mouth, and the emotion driven by bitterness made her speak out.

"Furthermore, Brother Qi Yuan married the daughter of a third-rank official in the court, so the officialdom will naturally go smoothly in the future—"

Song Leyi's words were so abrupt that Qi Yuan, who was guarding in front of the couch, was slightly stunned.

The news of his engagement to Jiang Jin's daughter came out, and there were indeed many Jinshi in the same discipline who spoke bitterly. Qi's family was in decline in his early years, and he came from a poor family. Although he knew the officialdom was normal, he never forgot In his original intention, entering Dali Temple was his ambition when he entered Huangu Academy. Jiang Jin was kind to him and he also respected him.

But even at the beginning, when Jiang Jin took the initiative to mention this marriage to him, he was still extremely surprised. Later, he agreed, but Qi Yuan felt that getting married was something he should do at this stage of his life, and he had no one he admired. , she will naturally treat her well in the future, and the husband and wife can build a sheltered and peaceful house in the huge Lin'an City.

And what Song Leyi said just now made Qi Yuan frown in disbelief after reacting, and even at this moment, there was a flash of disappointment in those twinkling peach eyes, but he calmed down and saw the girl's guilt. He couldn't help but doubt himself a little.

The expression on Qi Yuan's face hurt Song Leyi, but it also made her fall into a daze. She stared blankly at the eyes in Qi Yuan's eyes, and realized how hurtful the words she said must be to him under the impulse of jealousy. people.

At that moment, Song Leyi felt that the love she kept in her heart that she dared not tell others was gone, and now, even Qi Yuan, the elder brother who loved him so much, was about to disappear because of what she said just now.The feelings of guilt and self-blame in my heart were overwhelmed.

The feelings of guilt and self-blame in her heart were overwhelming, and the feelings of remorse were about to drown her whole body. Along with that, tears rushed out of her eyes, and the turbulent water washed those eyes clear and transparent.

"I'm sorry! Brother Mu Yuan, I'm sorry, I shouldn't have said that, I'm sorry—"

The little girl's eyes were slightly red, and the way she kept apologizing to her made people feel distressed. Qi Yuan felt his heart was pierced, and he felt that the more he lived, the more he returned, and he actually cared about the child.

Unconsciously, Qi Yuan took out his handkerchief, wiped away the little girl's tears himself, and patted her back at the same time, softly comforting her,

"It's okay, Brother Mu Yuan knows, our Yue Yi definitely didn't mean that."

"However, can you tell Brother Mu Yuan why you said such things just now?"

Qi Yuan's explanation made Song Leyi feel even more ashamed, and felt even more guilty in her heart. Facing his puzzlement at this moment, the little girl pursed her lips, sobbing intermittently, but she tugged on his sleeve and explained seriously.

"I'm sorry, Brother Mu Yuan, I just..."

Song Leyi tried her best to hold back her sobs, "I was just a little sad."
