Chapter 63

He always felt that everything that happened tonight was just his imagination.

Pei Er: “…”

How could he dare to take another look at his master who had been celibate for many years and seemed to be on the verge of becoming a Buddha and was infatuated with a young girl?

Pei Er didn't know how to answer for a moment, until he turned slightly to his master who was standing with his back to him and cast a glance at him, then he said awkwardly: "I dare not look at you any more."

When Pei Yuqing talked about his reckless behavior with his subordinates, there was nothing unusual on his face, and he did not show any embarrassment in front of Xie Wan Ning.

He nodded slowly, turned around and lowered his eyes, and asked again: "Tell me, does Wanwan have feelings for me too?"

Pei Er: “…”

...I am a rough man and I am far away from you. I can't even hear clearly what you talked about. What can I know?
Seeing that his master, who had always been in charge of the overall situation, was so uneasy and worried, Pei Er spoke in a firm voice.

"A girl's reputation is so important. Thank you for meeting you at night and allowing you to enter her boudoir. I believe she loves you very much."

These words touched Pei Yuqing's heart.

He thought so too...

Although the girl was brave, if she didn't trust him, how could she dare to tease him so many times?

Even if she wanted to get rid of Lu Ziyan's family, there were so many young men of similar age from aristocratic families in the capital, why didn't she choose someone else to marry, but had to choose him?

Pei Yuqing finally smiled as he kept looking for the favoritism he received from his lover.

Thinking of the feeling of pinching her pointed chin and kissing her, his Adam's apple rolled, and he calmed himself down and said, "I'm going to get married."

Pei Er had not heard their conversation, but was overjoyed when he heard this, and immediately knelt on one knee: "Congratulations, my Lord."

He was almost overjoyed. Over the years, the decisions made by his son had never been reversed.

Especially when it comes to marriage, even the princess and the duke couldn't change his mind. Every time they forced him to marry, he would dismiss it with a sentence like "My chronic illness is hard to cure, and I don't want to delay someone else's girl."

Pei Er originally thought that his son was destined to live out his life alone, but he didn't expect that he would want to get married because of Miss Xie.

He didn't dare to think about how happy the princess and the duke would be if they knew about this.

The next day, Xie Wan Ning had just gotten up when her little cousin came to find her.

Xie Ruyu said excitedly: "Sister Wanwan, how about we go fishing today?"

Of course, we were not fishing by the lake where we did last night, but outside the farm, in a large pond near the fields. I saw it from the carriage when I came here yesterday.

Xie Wan Ning was sitting at the dressing table. Hearing this, she said with some guilt, "I have to go back to the capital first. Can I go fishing with you tomorrow?"

"Going back to the capital?" Xie Ruyu asked in surprise, "Didn't we just arrive yesterday? What did you leave behind? Just send the servants to get it."

Xie Wan Ning thought about it and felt a little embarrassed to confess to her sister that she had promised to spend her life with a man overnight, so she said vaguely, "I have something to tell my parents in person."

When she spoke, her head tilted slightly towards her. Xie Ruyu glanced at her, paused, and pointed at her lips: "Sister Wanwan, why is your mouth swollen?"

Er Qing, who was helping Xie Wan Ning with her makeup, heard this and looked over. She stopped the jade comb in her hand and said anxiously, "It is indeed a little swollen. Miss, did you eat something by mistake? Are you feeling uncomfortable?"

The room was silent for a few moments.

Under the gaze of her cousin and personal maid, Xie Wan Ning's face turned slightly red. She said dryly, "I don't feel uncomfortable anywhere. Maybe I bit my mouth when I was rinsing it just now."

Both of them were young girls who had never experienced the world of love, and they did not doubt it at all.

Xie Wan Ning leaned closer to the bronze mirror and looked at her lips carefully.

I felt a little ashamed and angry. How could that man bite me so fiercely? What if the swelling hasn't gone down by the time I get to the capital and my mother finds out?

After the two sisters had breakfast, a servant came to report.

Pei Yuqing's carriage was waiting outside. When Xie Ruyu heard that Xie Wanning was going to take someone else's carriage back to Beijing, she realized something was wrong. Just as she was about to ask, her cousin had already disappeared.

A carriage engraved with the Pei family emblem was parked outside the farmyard. The carriage was jet black in color and the roof was inlaid with a red agate.

When Xie Wan Ning came out, she saw Pei Yuqing in the morning light, wearing a moon-colored robe, with a gentle and gentlemanly demeanor and a tall and graceful figure.

Her eyes narrowed unconsciously, she walked towards him and asked with a smile: "Have you been waiting for a long time?"

Pei Yuqing shook his head slowly and reached out to help her get into the car.

The weather was too hot, and Xie Wan Ning planned to return to Beijing in the afternoon, so she didn't even bring Er Qing with her.

As soon as she got on the carriage, the person behind her followed and sat opposite her.

The space inside the car is spacious, and there is an ice jar in the corner, which makes it very cool.

The two sat opposite each other, but no one spoke for a while.

Xie Wan Ning looked left and right, but didn't look at the person opposite her.

This was the first time they were alone since their relationship changed. They were so close last night, but now without the protection of the night, even though she was usually bold, she felt a little embarrassed.

Needless to say, Pei Yuqing's fingers were curled up in embarrassment under his sleeves, but his expression was still calm.

After a long silence, he was the first to speak and break the silence, "Would you like some tea?"

Xie Wan Ning hummed, "I don't want to drink hot drinks."

Pei Yuqing paused as she was about to make tea. She picked up the teapot on the small table and poured her a cup of cold tea.

"Have you figured out how to tell your father?"

Hearing this, Xie Wan Ning, who was sipping tea from the cup, almost choked.

Pei Yuqing narrowed his eyes slightly at her guilty look, took the teacup from her hand, and said calmly, "Do you regret it?"

"No," Xie Wan Ning quickly shook her head, "I don't regret it."

The tension in her heart suddenly relaxed. Pei Yuqing looked at her and said softly, "Then why are you acting like this?"

Since you have decided to get married, you should complete the wedding ceremony within March. You are returning to Beijing just to confess to your parents. Why are you so nervous when talking about this?

Xie Wan Ning pursed her lips and whispered, "I don't know how to say it."

She had just called off her engagement, and had vowed not to marry before. But after staying at the farm for one night, she ran back and told her parents that she wanted to get married, and that she would marry within three months...

It just so happens that this person lives next door to the farm.

Who wouldn’t have wild thoughts?

Why are you in such a hurry to get married?

is not it……

Pei Yuqing also thought of this. He coughed lightly, turned his face away and said, "I'll go and tell him."

It is indeed wrong to let the little girl confess to her parents on her own, as seeking marriage is something that should be initiated by men.

It was his fault.

Xie Wanning frowned and said worriedly, "What if my father doesn't agree?"

Her mother was quite satisfied with him, but he was eleven years older than her and was known to be frail. Her father was always protective of his son and might not easily marry his daughter off.

 A list of Xiaoxiang votes was popped up in the background. Our book still needs more than a hundred Xiaoxiang votes to be on the list.

  Can I go up...

  ...I'm a bit hopeless
