“Is that so?” Xi Lin Yan’s sharp gaze fell directly behind me, clearly not believing me, “A casual walk requires such a large luggage?”
I stubbornly insisted, “This, this, I’m telling you, this isn’t luggage, it’s just something I’m taking to pay respects to everyone. Really, I swear I have no intention of running away!”
“Did I say you were running away?” Xi Lin Yan’s beautiful peach blossom eyes locked onto me, flickering with a dangerous light.
Xi Lin Yan actually turned his head away coolly, ignoring me…
Damn, this man is really petty! We’ve been out for three days, and he hasn’t shown a good expression even once! Helplessly, I had to move closer pitifully and coax: “Darling, don’t be angry anymore!
I promise, once Xiliu Fortress is built, I’ll obediently go back with you to get married, okay?”
“Really?” Xi Lin Yan’s expression finally softened a bit.
I hurriedly nodded repeatedly, afraid that if I was slow, he wouldn’t believe me. Xiliu Fortress was so large that even if it was built, it would take a year or two. During such a long time, couldn’t I go play wherever I wanted?
Xi Lin Yan suddenly blurted out: “He is Nan Gong Ying!”
“What?” I didn’t understand for a moment, blinking in confusion and looking at him.
Xi Lin Yan rolled his eyes impatiently and explained: “I’m saying that Mei Ying is Nan Gong Ying, the second young master of the Nan Gong family, Nan Gong Yu’s younger brother, Nan Gong Qin Xue’s second brother. Is it clear enough now?”
I couldn’t help but curiously ask: “And then?”
“What and then?”
“You still haven’t answered my question!” Now it was my turn to roll my eyes.
Xi Lin Yan finally understood and continued: “Nan Gong Ying was born to a concubine. You should know that in this society, a concubine’s status is only slightly higher than a maidservant’s. Correspondingly, Nan Gong Ying was not very favored. His father’s coldness and his mother’s weakness made him desperately want to leave the Nan Gong family’s ‘prison’!”
“And I, just sent him a large sum of silver after he left, helping him establish Yan Yu Lou!”
“Why?” I didn’t understand!
