Beauty bewilders the mind

  The silence lasted for a long time, and the atmosphere developed in an increasingly eerie direction. Yuan Yi remained motionless as a mountain, but Xiao Heng felt more and more embarrassed. He couldn't figure out why he always ended up at a disadvantage when facing Yuan Yi - either his momentum was inexplicably weakened or his brain didn't work properly, and he easily fell into traps.

  Is this what they mean by "love is blind"? This conclusion doesn't match his wise and powerful image at all.

  He narrowed his eyes, pulled out a letter from his sleeve and tossed it in front of her with an air of arrogance, saying: "This is specially for you, no need to thank me too much."

  She flipped through the pages with a hint of doubt, and suddenly her eyes lit up with a scorching glow, shining so brightly that it was frightening. She hastily asked him, "Whose calligraphy is this?" With her experience, she could naturally tell that this was a newly written piece, with clear and distinct ink marks, carrying the faint scent of pine smoke ink. More importantly, the handwriting was identical to that on Xiao Heng's folding fan.

  Xiao Dun had never seen such a bold and dazzling gaze, he felt his throat was a bit itchy, cleared his throat, and then pretended to be disdainful: "What's the use of telling you? Are you here to pay respects?"

  He actually wanted to say that this was his handwriting, and show off in front of the woman, but seeing her obvious disappointment yet pretending to be calm, he found it even more amusing. So for now, he would just humor himself by being silently admired by her, though he didn't know what kind of expression she would have when she finds out the truth. Xiao Heng thought about that scene and couldn't help but laugh out loud.

  Yuanyi thought that Xiao Heng was intentionally making things difficult, and with a huff, muttered: "Forget it, anyway it's not possible for you, what are you so proud of."

  Xiao Heng let out a cold hum and gave her a profound and unfathomable look, without responding.

  Yuanyi thought he was being mysterious and didn't bother to argue with these petty tricks, so she asked him, "Have you ever met my brother-in-law? What is he like?"

  Xiao Heng thought of someone who might be in the bridal chamber at this moment, but he could only gaze at his fiancée from afar and not get close to her. He couldn't help feeling a pang of sadness and resentfully glanced at Yuan Yi, wondering why she had such bad timing and was born fourth, with an older sister still unmarried, leaving him with even more waiting to do.

  Seeing him not speaking, Yuan Yi thought that Zhou Chunhua had a problem and looked at him worriedly: "But what's wrong?"

  Xiao Heng suddenly realized he was distracted, and hastily patted his chest to guarantee, "Don't worry, Yier, I've already contacted him and he's a good kid. I've given him my word, even if he had a hundred guts, he wouldn't dare bully Erjie."

  After learning that Zhou Chuhua had become the son-in-law of the Zhu family before him, he called a few people to beat him up in a sack. Then, he made a heroic appearance and saved his future brother-in-law from danger. The two quickly established a fighting friendship, and Zhou Chuhua, unaware of what had happened, kept calling him "en" (a term of respect) repeatedly. Thinking about this, he couldn't help but fold his fan to cover his mouth and smile slyly with narrowed eyes.

  After he said that, Yuan Yi became even more worried. Xiao Heng's character wasn't great, who knows what kind of character would say something like that. It's said that men's friendships are forged in four things: sharing a window (studying together), shouldering a gun (fighting together), visiting prostitutes (sharing women), and dividing spoils (sharing wealth). How did Xiao Heng form his connections, could it be that he took him to indulge in sensual pleasures?

  Look at his sly and suspicious appearance, Yuan Yi felt annoyed and said in a bad tone: "You don't have to look for him if there's nothing going on." So as not to lead him astray.

  Xiao Heng seemed to have missed the implication in her words, and with a smiling face, said: "Building relationships is also official business. Since you're not convenient, I'll take advantage of my free time to keep an eye on him so he doesn't go partying. Don't you think I'm being very good to you?"

  Original intention is to get angry and hurt his liver, Pi Xiao Rou said with a smile: "Great."

  "The kid's smile is really lovely."

  "Get out!"
