Chapter 196 Do You Like Her?

Chapter 196 Do You Like Her?

Zhuang Xianhui tells the story slowly.

"Back then, I first met him through Sister Yuan's introduction."

"I told you that Sister Yuan's true identity is the Emperor's daughter. The Emperor arranged for her to take the initiative to make friends with Brother Mu Zhan, intending to promote the loyalty of childhood sweethearts, so she asked me to cooperate and serve as a foil."

"After growing up, the emperor has other instructions, let Sister Yuan seduce and hint, and use this to seize the throne."

"For this matter, I deliberately dressed up ugly, just to highlight Sister Yuan's graceful and elegant appearance. Normally, he should like Sister Yuan, so why would he be interested in me?"

"From childhood to adulthood, Brother Mu Zhan has always spoken ill of me, but it's different for Sister Yuan. He flatters her and almost praises her to the sky."

"He also clearly said that if we stop at close friends, he will definitely not like me."

"After his twentieth birthday, he began courting women everywhere and asked me for advice."

"I don't know why, but no surprise, every time he courts someone, it ends in failure. No matter if it's a noble girl or a commoner girl, they all seem to dislike him."

"Ordinarily, my suggestion should have some effect, right?"

"My husband, do you think he lost on purpose?"

Ning Xuanfeng nodded and began to analyze it carefully.

"Probably."

"I heard that his ancestors were all wealthy merchants, and his family is very wealthy. Even if he is not good-looking, it is impossible that he can't even find a woman who likes him."

"I think he did it on purpose."

"I guess he may say mean things to you, but his actions are actually very considerate, right?"

"What has he done for you?"

Zhuang Xianhui touched her chin and recalled carefully.

"let me see……"

"When we first met, he told me that he was usually very free and that I could always talk to him if I had any troubles. So from childhood to adulthood, he was the one who comforted me almost every time I was sad."

"He said that he felt much better after hearing about my suffering. But I didn't feel any gloating in his words of comfort, only empathy."

"When my father and mother had a dispute and my elder and second elder brothers were not available, he would come over and help mediate. He told me to stay at home and comfort my father, and he would accompany my mother to go shopping, just to digest the food after dinner."

"When I was young and had finished school, I didn't want to do my homework, so he wrote most of it for me."

"At first, he said he didn't like playing pranks, and that they seemed a bit vulgar. Later, he took the initiative to ask me about pranks, and said that what he said at the beginning was just a prank, but in fact he also had this hobby and shared the same interests as me."

"There are many more besides these, but these are all I can think of at the moment."

"Since I was little, I have doubted it many times. I just felt that he liked me."

"At the beginning of this year, he was on vacation and I stayed in the same room with him to test him. I lay on his bed and slept for a whole night, but nothing happened. It shows that he really treats me purely."

Ning Xuanfeng was horrified.

"what?"

"you you you……"

Zhuang Xianhui blushed, left his shoulder, looked at him coquettishly, and explained hastily.

"Nothing really happened."

"My husband, don't you know whether I am virgin or not?"

Thinking of the sweet things, Ning Xuanfeng also felt shy.

"That's true."

"But this is too outrageous."

Zhuang Xianhui smiled contentedly and continued to act coquettishly.

"I won't do that again. At that time, I didn't even know my husband."

"After we get married, I will pay attention to these things."

Ning Xuanfeng smiled and pinched her little face.

"good."

Now, let’s get back to business.

"Confession of comfort, empathy, proactive sharing of burdens, ghostwriting of homework, and like-mindedness. Coincidentally, I have witnessed all of the things you mentioned."

"That's how my brother treats his third sister."

Zhuang Xianhui was shocked and suddenly understood something.

"what?"

"That uncle... treated my cousin..."

Ning Xuanfeng smiled and subconsciously denied it.

"They are brother and sister, how can they..."

Having said this, he reacted belatedly, his smile disappeared, and he was slightly stunned.

"Oh yeah, they're not brother and sister."

"Then...brother...third sister...ah?!"

As he thought about it, he was startled and stopped abruptly, cutting off all thoughts and denying it again.

"No, no, they have been living together as brother and sister since they were young. This is absolutely impossible."

"So, Master Xiao Tao is truly a close friend to you. You calling him Brother Mu Zhan just reflects the relationship between you two, which is like brother and sister."

Zhuang Xianhui's brows were furrowed in distress.

"But that's not what you just said."

Ning Xuanfeng was speechless for a moment.

"I……"

After pondering for a moment, he came up with an explanation.

"Oh, yeah, didn't you say that my brother only cared about my third sister for the prescription for her old illness? He was just being hypocritical."

"Does Lord Xiao Tao have any reason for treating you in a way that has anything to do with the political situation? I don't think so, do I?"

"Father is an earl, and even though he has been rewarded constantly, it is still an empty position. Although my eldest brother-in-law is in the Tongshitai, he is not a person in power. His family is loyal to the Prince of Chen, and getting close to you will not only do no good, but may also arouse the suspicion of His Royal Highness the Prince of Chen."

"From this, it can be seen that he has feelings for you, even beyond his heart. In his heart, you must be very important, more important than His Royal Highness Prince Chen and the interests of the family."

Zhuang Xianhui couldn't believe it.

"It's not that important, is it?"

Ning Xuanfeng was very sure.

"Trust me, it must be very important."

At this time, Zhuang Wei returned home and went directly to Roujing Pavilion.

"I'm back. How are my parents? Have they reconciled?"

Thinking that his brother-in-law was wise and they were both men, Ning Xuanfeng immediately made a suggestion.

"My eldest brother-in-law is here, why don't you ask him?"

Zhuang Wei didn't know the situation and looked confused.

"what?"

In order to prevent her elder brother from mixing in his own emotions and commenting on people's hearts like her husband, Zhuang Xianhui intentionally concealed her name and only discussed the matter itself.

"Brother, if there is a man who wants to be a close friend of a woman, they can be each other's lover and blue friend."

"They say they don't like it, but their actions are meticulous."

"Do you think he likes this woman, or is it really just a close relationship like he said?"

Zhuang Wei's brows twitched slightly, and he took two steps back nervously, looking at his sister with a hint of wariness in his eyes.

"What do you mean?"

A hint of confusion flashed across Zhuang Xianhui's eyes, and then she answered truthfully.

"No other meaning, just the original meaning."

After explaining, she continued her narration.

"They were friends when they were young, and could be considered childhood sweethearts, but because of his ambitions, the man has never been able to express his feelings."

"Later, when I heard that the woman was married, his expression was obviously not right. He seemed jealous, but he pretended not to care and refused to speak out."

After she finished speaking roughly, she asked curiously.

"Brother, do you think he likes this woman?"

"If she likes him, how should she reject him? But if she doesn't like him, why is he behaving so strangely?"

Zhuang Wei was filled with anger and responded coldly.

"I have no interest in Master Gao. I really think she is my best friend. Why are you testing me?"

Zhuang Xianhui and Ning Xuanfeng were both startled.

"what?"
