Chapter 30
Xie Wan Ning's mind was a little slow, and she nodded gently.
I thought to myself, it seems that she has never shared a carriage with a man other than Lu Ziyan again.
However, with Xie Yanyu here, it doesn't count as being in the same room.
Thinking of this, she did not look at Pei Yuqing, but held the arm of her brother beside her and whispered, "Brother, I want to drink some water."
The carriages of the Xuanping Marquis's residence were always stocked with tea. Xie Yanyu poured a cup of tea for his sister and handed it to her, with a reproachful tone: "Will you dare to get so drunk next time?"
Alcohol makes cowards brave. Xie Wan Ning was not so afraid of him at this moment. She took a sip of the teacup and smiled when she heard it. She smiled and moved closer to her brother: "They just want to get me drunk so that they can ask you to pick me up. It's a good opportunity to see you."
Normally she would never dare to tease others like this. Xie Yanyu glanced at her sister and saw that her eyes were not very clear. He reached out and took the empty cup from her hand, and was too lazy to pay attention to her.
Xie Wan Ning nudged her brother twice with her elbow. Seeing that he still ignored her, she looked across with an unhappy face: "Hey, Pei Yuqing."
Xie Yanyu's eyebrows jumped at such an impolite name. He was about to scold his sister for being disrespectful, but before he could say anything, he saw his friend who was offended by the younger generation replied calmly: "Yes, I'm here."
The tone was gentle, and even the voice was tender.
Xie Wan Ning blinked when she heard it, looked at him seriously and said, "You can't say one thing and mean another in the future, understand?"
Xie Yanyu showed a look of surprise and looked across.
"..." Pei Yuqing paused for a moment, lowered his eyes to avoid their gaze, looked a little embarrassed, and said helplessly: "Wanwan, you are drunk."
Under normal circumstances, Xie Wan Ning would definitely not give up so easily, but at this moment she was a little drunk, and seeing him looking so awkward and immature, she felt happy for some reason.
So he waved his hand and said very good-temperedly: "Forget it, I won't force you."
As she spoke, she felt her head becoming increasingly dizzy. She could not help but hug her brother's arm, humming as she leaned her little head over and closed her eyes to take a rest.
His shoulder felt heavy as the noisy little girl fell asleep. The carriage had good shock resistance and the roads in the capital were stable, but Xie Yanyu still held his sister's neck with his hand for fear that she would fall, but his eyes were always fixed on his friend opposite him.
His expression was somewhat complicated: "I wonder if Brother Changqing has anything you want to tell me?"
There was a brief silence in the car.
In the silence, Pei Yuqing sighed softly, his eyes fell on the little girl on his shoulder, the emotions slowly rising in his eyes were straightforward and obvious.
"Didn't Runzhi see that a long time ago?"
As long as he was in front of her, his feelings were always sincere and could not be hidden.
Xie Yanyu had of course sensed this a long time ago, but he was still shocked by his friend's direct admission.
He was stunned for a long time before he opened his lips: "Wanwan to you..."
"Her heart is all on Lu Ziyan, and she has no feelings for me. It's all one-sided on my part," Pei Yuqing said calmly, "She just saw through my thoughts."
They were all very smart, and Xie Yanyu guessed most of it in a flash, but his brows were still furrowed.
Pei Yuqing saw his worry and couldn't help but smile: "Runzhi, don't worry. From the beginning to the end, I just wanted to protect her as a brother."
If he really had the determination to get a result for himself, why would he have endured it until now and watched Lu Ziyan bully and betray her all these years?
If Lu Ziyan had treated her wholeheartedly and allowed her to marry peacefully, he wouldn't have appeared in front of her so many times during this period, making her see through his thoughts.
Xie Yanyu was extremely surprised: "When did you..." Pei Yuqing shook his head slightly and refused to say more.
…………
The carriage drove steadily into Xie's house, and when it stopped, the drunk girl still had her eyes closed, sleeping soundly.
Xie Yanyu frowned and watched for a while, then resigned himself to his fate by taking the cloak beside him, wrapping his sister in it, and carrying her out of the carriage.
It's the junction of spring and summer, and the weather is good today. The evening breeze is gentle and comfortable. The sunset glows on his eyelids. Xie Wan frowned and opened his eyes.
"Awake? If you're awake, just go on your own," Xie Yanyu put her down without saying a word, and helped her stand up. He began to mutter almost subconsciously, "You're already a grown-up girl, and you're still so drunk and unconscious when you go out to a banquet."
"..." As her feet touched the ground, Xie Wan Ning barely woke up. She looked around and could already see her Jianxia Courtyard.
Apart from Er Qing and Yang Hao who was following behind her brother and trying to hold back their laughter, there was no one else around.
She raised her hand and asked Er Qing to come over and support her, and said a little embarrassedly: "Brother, why didn't you wake me up?"
She is so old, but she is still carried around by her brother. How ridiculous.
Xie Yanyu glanced at her and said nothing.
After entering Jianxia Courtyard, he told Erqing: "Go make a bowl of sobering tea for your daughter to drink, so that she won't have a headache after waking up from the hangover at night."
Er Qingfu stepped back.
They were the only two siblings left in the hall.
Xie Wan Ning was already sitting crookedly on the soft chair, holding a cup of hot tea in his hand and taking a sip carefully. His chaotic mind was mostly clear, and he pointed to the chair beside him: "Brother, sit down."
She looked sober and excited, and it was obvious that she was mostly sober.
Xie Yanyu sat down silently, raised his eyes and asked: "Did you see Lu Ziyan at the Zheng family today?"
He also heard from Zheng Ye that the Zheng family started sending invitations to acquaintances more than half a month ago. After all, it was a birthday party and was held very solemnly. It was only natural to inform close relatives in advance and ask them to make time to attend the banquet early.
At that time, the marriage between their family and the Lu family was going smoothly. As Lu Ziyan was the grandson-in-law, the Wuyuan Marquis Mansion was naturally a close relative of the Qucheng Marquis Mansion.
Naturally, the invitations were also sent to them. Later, when the Xie and Lu families fell out, it would be difficult for the Zheng family to get the invitations back.
I thought the Lu family would be tactful and not come, but the ladies of the Lu family did not come, but Lu Ziyan came alone.
He also prepared a generous gift that no one could find fault with.
When Xie Yanyu knew Lu Ziyan was coming, they were already at the banquet. Even if he wanted to remind his sister, it was too late.
Seeing that she was drunk at this moment, he thought that the two of them had run into each other in the backyard of Zheng's house, and that they had some dispute, which affected her mood, so she drank to drown her sorrows.
Xie Wan Ning, who was drinking tea happily, suddenly heard the three words "Lu Ziyan" and immediately became a little dispirited.
"Yes," she nodded lazily, and said weakly, "Brother, you don't know that he is like a different person now..."
Xie Yanyu seemed very interested: "How has it changed?"
“I can’t really put it into words.” Thinking of the man’s jealous look today, as if he wanted to pick someone to eat, Xie Wan Ning sighed, put down the teacup in her hand, and frowned, “Anyway, I can’t understand him at all.”
It's on the shelves, dears, you can become a member to support it~~~
