Raiders of the Duke and Duchess

Chapter 35

Ning Xiuyuan's reputation is too loud, if it is said that Ji Wuyan least wants to deal with people, Ning Xiuyuan is definitely at the top of the list.

If she knew that Ning Xiuyuan was standing outside at that time, she wouldn't be able to play such a tune even if she was killed!
Gucuo once said that although she, Ji Wuyan, put on a gentle skin like Mianyang, she inherited the aloofness and rebellion of the Ji family in her bones.

Still young after all...

He secretly sighed, but when he raised his eyes, he had already smiled the warmest, "Lord Ning."

Ning Xiuyuan rubbed it lightly with his fingertips behind his back, and didn't say a word. After hearing too many "Master Ning", he always felt a little deliberate alienation.

"You..." The old lady looked at this and that, and asked in surprise, "Know each other?"

Ji Wuyan nodded and replied, "We met once." There was a sense of distance between the words again.

Being pushed away again and again for the first time, to be honest, this feeling...something new.Ning Xiuyuan took his seat, took the tea made by Mammy, and spoke soothingly, "I was fortunate enough to work together before."

Working together... Naturally, it's not just a one-sided relationship.The people present who became elites heard the voice-over, Ning Xiuyuan raised his eyes to look at Ji Wuyan, and added, "Miss Ji is really... amazing."

Saying this, the words were soft, but the gaze fell on the body but was anxious, with a sense of probing.Ji Wuyan gritted her teeth secretly, annoyed at her lack of composure today.When the old lady grabbed herself with visibly trembling hands, she could no longer hold her breath.

Ji Wuyan lowered his eyebrows, avoiding the other party's overbearing gaze, "Master Ning is ridiculous."

"You don't need to be polite." The old lady turned her eyes slightly, grabbed Ji Wuyan's hand and put it in her palm, and explained to Ning Xiuyuan with a smile, "This child is very suitable for me. She is new here and unfamiliar with her place. You will take care of me in the future."

Ji Wuyan is naturally unwilling, the thing she wants to do the most is to stay away from Ning Xiu, and it is best not to have any intersections in this life, so she immediately refused with a smile, "Old madam...how can this make it, Master Ning?" With a noble status and busy affairs, how can you bother Mr. Ning."

Ning Xiuyuan slowly turned the lid of the teacup, and raised his eyelids when he heard the words, his eyes were as cold as ever, "It's okay... since the old lady entrusted her, the younger generation should obey."

Not necessarily.

Ji Wuyan bit her back teeth again, feeling her temples throbbing, and she didn't know when she caught the attention of this giant Buddha, the probing eyes never left her body, it was really unavoidable Fang, she gritted her teeth, grinned, and let out a chilly smile, "So, thank you Lord Ning for taking care of me first."

Ning Xiuyuan's face turned slightly, a small smile flashed in his eyes without knowing it, this little girl... I thought she was cold and rational, but now she doesn't look like it.

Without being teased, it looks like a cat that has just grown its claws.

Ning Xiuyuan had vaguely forgotten... No one's claws would look sharp in front of someone like himself.

The old lady was very satisfied with this, and while patting Ji Wuyan's hand, she asked insincerely, "Son, where is your ancestral home? Are the elders in the family healthy and strong?"

The wives and ladies looked at each other, alarm bells ringing in their hearts, this question... why is it getting more and more in a direction that I don't like to hear?

Ji Wuyan lowered her brows, hiding the emotions in her eyes, and only replied softly, "Mrs. Meng is concerned. My daughter is from the south of the Yangtze River, and the elders in the family are in good health."

Jiangnan... the old lady's heart was beating violently, but her voice became more and more gentle, as if she was afraid of disturbing a certain dream, "Then... do you have brothers and sisters?"

Ning Xiuyuan, who closed his eyes while holding his teacup from beginning to end, suddenly cast a casual glance at the chief seat.

The woman covered her face with a brocade handkerchief, her head was lowered, her eyebrows were drooping, her eyelashes were long and thick, and her expression could not be seen clearly. She seemed to be looking at the piano in front of her, quietly like a perfect statue.After a while, she heard her whisper, "There is... a brother."

Ning Xiuyuan put down his teacup, leaned against the back of the chair and closed his eyes to rest.

"That's the case... but there are no children, just like my family." The old lady patted Ji Wuyan's hand, "Just now I said that I have eyes with you, it's true... From now on, you should walk around more, I always wanted to have a girl like you. Bai Xing is the only kid in the Bai family. Although he is not very famous, he has a good character. From now on, you will be in Yanjing City, and he will protect you."

"Yes..." Ji Wuyan was very obedient, without even a single edge, "Thank you, old lady, for your love."

Ning Xiuyuan twitched his lips, thinking to himself, this girl is completely different from Feng Rui when she was playing the piano just now, but she is... pretty good at pretending.

"Quan pretends that he is your elder brother in Jiangnan!" The old lady said, glaring at Bai Xing, who was eating melons and fruits, "You son of a bitch, you only know how to eat and eat, do you understand?"

Bai Xing nodded obediently, "Yes, brat understands... you ask the third master to take care of her for a while, and for me to take care of her for a while, don't worry, in the future, this Wuyan girl will not be offended by others, I'm afraid the palace will Your Majesty wants to give some thin noodles..."

The old lady just laughed angrily, "It's only you who dare to say anything! Your Majesty dares to make arrangements, and I will let your aunt punish you!"

"Yes, yes... Aunt Zuo and Zuo punished me, and you are the one who feels bad..." Bai Xing lazily nestled in the chair, giggling out of shape, but muttering in his heart—the grandmother looked , a little strangely cautious, talking about closing his eyes, but there was a taste of insinuation between the lines, as if he was inquiring and proving something.

Ji Wuyan...

Bai Xing propped his chin up and looked at his grandmother, then at Ning Xiuyuan, wondering who the hell this girl was, why these two... care so much.

The old lady laughed, pointed at Bai Xing and looked around the lady, and laughed, "Look, look, what is this monkey talking about!"

The wives and ladies laughed in agreement, and said some innocuous and auspicious words, but they all secretly breathed a sigh of relief in their hearts—the old lady's meaning behind her words was to let Ji Wuyan and Bai Xing cultivate a brother-sister relationship, so, It is not the plan to marry someone into the door.

Think about it, no matter how much you like it, this girl from a small family can't enter the gate of the Bai family, not to mention that she's making a living outside... Even if she's a guest of the lord, it's not clear what the reputation is. unknown.

Thinking about it this way, looking at Ji Wuyan again, I found it much more pleasing to the eye. It seemed that the old lady liked it very much. From now on, as Mr. Bai said, they will not be easily provoked by this girl.

It is better to make friends.
