Chapter 322 In the previous life, you would hug me
Ning Yunxi's almond-shaped eyes drooped and wandered without a fixation.
"I...I don't know."
Yan Yu felt nervous and uneasy. He stared at her and swallowed unconsciously.
"Then why do you mention admiration?"
Ning Yunxi's cheeks were shy, and her bashfulness was hidden under the rouge.
"Because when we kissed each other, I felt a little scared but warm. I have never felt warm before, so I came to this conclusion."
Yan Yu was slightly startled.
"Fear?"
Thinking of the warm scene before, her shy face was indeed a bit timid, which was unbelievable and surprised.
"Are you afraid of me?"
Ning Yunxi spoke softly and frankly.
"What I fear is not you, but the act of getting close to you."
Yan Yu frowned, her starry eyes filled with surprise, and she made a guess.
"You have a shadow?"
Looking at her beautiful face, he knew the answer. He took a step closer, wanting to show concern, but after a moment of confusion, he took another step back, keeping his distance from her.
"I'm sorry, I had no idea you were afraid, otherwise I would have..."
He stopped abruptly, fearing that if he spoke in too much detail, he would remind her of the frightening things.
After a moment of silence and careful consideration, he expressed his concern cautiously.
"Was it left behind when she was a child, or was she injured by him after she married Prince Chen?"
Ning Yunxi's eyes were lifeless, making her look even more helpless.
"I was afraid before I married the Prince of Chen."
Yan Yu suddenly became solemn and dignified.
"who is it?"
Ning Yunxi stood there trembling, filled with sorrow. Her clothes were neatly dressed, but at this moment, they seemed to be in pieces.
"There are many people, not just one. My brother used to despise my fourth sister for her immorality and thought she was not innocent. In fact, I was..."
Hearing something wrong with the conversation, Yan Yu interrupted him harshly.
"I won't let you talk nonsense!"
At a distance of more than ten feet, he could deeply sense Jiji's heartbreak. His eyes were solemn, gray and filled with a hint of suffocating pain.
"Tell me, who are they? I won't let any of those who bullied you go!"
The scenes of the old year kept reappearing, Ning Yunxi's eyes were filled with tears, her eyes were filled with dark clouds and tears, and she was trembling with panic.
"There were both nobles and commoners who were killed by my elder brother last year. Some were killed on the spot, and their bones were crushed to dust; some were killed premeditatedly and did not have a good end. In short, they are all gone long ago."
Yan Yu clenched his hands into fists in his sleeves. He was filled with hatred but felt powerless.
"Even so, can't the shadow be erased?"
Ning Yunxi nodded heavily, with a heavy cloud of sorrow that could not dissipate for a long time.
"Ah."
There was deep hatred in Yan Yu's eyes, and even more heartache.
"What can I do to help you?"
Feeling a hint of warmth, Ning Yunxi's helpless expression gradually became a little fragile.
"In my previous life, you would hold me and tell me fairy tales to put me to sleep."
"These two, there is no fear, only warmth in the heart."
Yan Yu was delighted and could not wait to walk closer to her and hold her in his arms tenderly and lovingly.
"In this life, I can also tell you fairy tales and lull you to sleep."
Her mood relaxed a bit, Ning Yunxi smiled sweetly, just like in the previous life, snuggling peacefully.
Feeling Qiong Ying's slender figure and her warm fragrance, Yan Yu couldn't help but hug her tighter.
"I have always thought that the reason why we didn't consummate our marriage in the previous life was because the wedding etiquette was not followed properly and I was afraid that I had wronged you. Now I know that this is the reason. I guess in the previous life, I understood your fears very well, right?"
Ning Yunxi spoke in a low voice, her face as soft as autumn water and jade.
"Yes. On the day we became sworn brothers, my elder brother went to Prince Dijin's mansion and told me about this. Although he didn't say it explicitly, I understood his meaning. He was simply saying that you have feelings for me."
"You really mean this, so there is no objection. However, I cannot correct him in person because of the brother-sister relationship. Then, when we meet alone, I can explain that we went to the apricot forest only to become sworn brothers, and there is absolutely no attempt to hide anything. Unfortunately, no matter how I explain, he doesn't believe me."
"I originally thought that my elder brother had misunderstood me, but I never thought that I was the one who misunderstood."
Yan Yu was a little confused.
"But in this life, he never talked to me about this."
Ning Yunxi guessed immediately.
"In the previous life, when we met, we lived together. In this life, let alone living together, we try not to see each other even at dusk or night. Big brother will naturally not say much."
Yan Yu smiled modestly, feeling ashamed of himself.
"He cares about you very much."
Ning Yunxi denied it regretfully.
"Unfortunately, it's all hypocrisy."
Knowing well that Ning Aiqing was feeling pained, Yan Yu spoke softly but remained serious.
"Maybe it was like this in the previous life, but this life is really different. If my identity changes in the future, are you willing to give him a chance?"
Ning Yunxi slowly left his arms, looked up at him from a short distance away.
"Brother, don't you want me anymore?"
Suddenly, the fire element became hot and Yan Yu reacted immediately. He quickly took a half step back and turned his back.
Ning Yunxi felt a little disappointed when she saw this.
"Brother, do you really not want me anymore?"
Yan Yu calmed down and turned around to explain.
"That's absolutely not the intention."
"The gurgling spring is charming and tender. Your eyes and your tender and loving words make me... unable to resist."
The mood was rich and gorgeous, like the gorgeous morning glow in the sky. Ning Yunxi was a little caught off guard and smiled.
"You are so flattering. I don't deserve it."
Thinking of saying something else to divert attention, Yan Yu racked his brains and finally thought of something.
"By the way, I handled the informants arranged by Feng Yihe and the followers that Ning Aiqing didn't have time to send away according to your method. I didn't lie. I really listened to your words and didn't use Ning Aiqing's plan."
Ning Yunxi looked at him with deep affection.
"Thank you for your trust."
"I'm going to collect samples for a paternity test. Brother, would you like to come with me?"
Yan Yu's smiling eyes still have the afterglow of sunset, like fire and rainbow.
"How can we be so skilled in martial arts? I will summon Gao Jing and ask him to do it."
Ning Yunxi nodded in response.
"okay."
Gao Jing took the order and left.
……
The tea aroma is fresh, Ning Yunxi tastes it delicately, sits down and waits.
As the cicadas chirped clear and melodiously, Gao Jing hurried back and presented Xu Mingqian's family's hair, nails and other items with both hands.
Ning Yunxi touched the silver rings and compared them one by one.
The result is obvious. Leng Man is indeed the biological mother of Xu Yingyuan and Xu Shuobo; but Xu Mingqian is not their biological father.
Even though she had heard the truth, she was still shocked when she saw the result.
Seeing his expression, Yan Yu smiled happily.
"Let me tell you, Lord Ning is not lying to me."
Thinking that this was told by her older brother, Ning Yunxi still had doubts and didn't dare to believe it.
"Lord Xu is the descendant of a marquis and is the prime minister of the Eighth Palace. How could he be willing to accept such a situation? Why would he do this?"
"Could it be that he, like my father, is kept in the dark and knows nothing?"
Yan Yu remained unsuspecting and answered gently.
"He knows everything."
Ning Yunxi followed her guess.
"That means Madam Yitong, whose love and affection are sincere enough to tolerate everything?"
Yan Yu expressed his own views.
"I do not think so."
Ning Yunxi asked in confusion.
"What's the proof?"
Yan Yu is a heroic figure in brocade clothes, with a cool and elegant demeanor, as white as snow.
"If they are truly in love, how could they live apart? Lord Ning revealed that Lord Xu was still a virgin before he met the fourth sister of the Ning family."
Ning Yunxi didn't think much about it and directly refuted it.
"Brother, what you said is wrong. The love between you and me has its limits..."
At this point, she was startled to see Gao Jing present. She felt embarrassed and immediately kept silent.
Unexpectedly, they suddenly talked about what happened in the middle of the night. Gao Jing was stunned when he understood and looked a little embarrassed.
