s.h.i.+ Qingxue was good at getting more. When she found the sign of Wenren Chi's tone becoming soft, she held back her tears and her frustration disappeared.

She pushed away Wenren Chi, and her face bulged, “You are. You are indeed angry with me. So you don't go back to the Jinhua Pavilion.”

Wenren Chi was speechless. He couldn't explain to s.h.i.+ Qingxue why he left the House of the s.h.i.+ Family.

Seeing that Qingxue was not sad, he changed the subject, “Don't you want to know where I live now?”

s.h.i.+ Qingxue's attention was attracted, “Aren't you living in the barracks?”

Wenren Chi shook his head and walked out of the room first, “I live in the house of my dad and mom. The house was always guarded by father before. He gave me the key not long ago. It locates in the west of the city. It is not far from here. I shall take you there so that you can recognize the road there!”

s.h.i.+ Qingxue was confused by ‘dad and mom' and ‘father' he said. Until she was taken to the House of the Wenren Family, she understood that ‘dad and mom' said by Wenren Chi referred to the deceased Wenren Bo and his wife.

Although she knew that Wenren Chi called s.h.i.+ Junhe father and called Dong Hui mother, Qingxue still felt a little uncomfortable in her heart.

She pouted her mouth and carefully pulled Wenren Chi's sleeve from behind, she asked in a low voice, “Brother, are you leaving us?”

Wenren Chi stood still, and a trace of pain flashed in his eyes. But it was quickly covered up by him.

He suppressed his emotions, turned his head to s.h.i.+ Qingxue, and even smiled, “How come? You will always be my favorite sister.”

s.h.i.+ Qingxue did not doubt and smiled with satisfaction. And she didn't complain so much about Wenren Chi's moving out.

After all, General Wenren and his wife were Wenren Chi's biological parents. It was reasonable that Wenren Chi wanted to find his origin.

Even though she was unwilling, she couldn't be vexatious. It was good as long as Wenren Chi still recognized her as his sister!

Wenren Chi really led s.h.i.+ Qingxue to hang out in the House of Wenren.

The House of the Wenren Family was not big, and it was not as magnificent as the House of the s.h.i.+ Family, but it was not small. After all, General Wenren was equally famous with s.h.i.+ Junhe, so his treatment was not bad.

s.h.i.+ Qingxue looked around and was satisfied with the environment of the House of the Wenren Family, but she felt it too deserted, “Why don't you hire more subordinates? A courtyard with few people will be deserted.”

Wenren Chi smiled indifferently, “It doesn't matter. I don't often live here anyway.”

At this time, a chubby, ball-shaped middle-aged man hurried over, “Master, there is a person outside, who claims to be a family member of the Right Leader, asking to meet you.”

Wenren Chi was suddenly disturbed. He frowned unpleasantly, and his voice became a little colder, “No. Uncle Li, please tell that person that I am not here.”

Uncle Li wiped the sweat on his forehead with a helpless look, “That person might watch you enter the house and refused to leave before seeing you.”

s.h.i.+ Qingxue saw that both of them looked helpless and asked curiously, “The Right Leader of the City Guardian Army. Isn't it Jin Hui?”

Wenren Chi nodded and asked impatiently, “Who is that from the Jin Family?”

“It seems to be a servant. But that person said that he was spreading his master's words.”

Uncle Li paused for a moment and persuaded in a low voice, “Master, he is your colleague. You just joined the City Guardian Army not long before. I'm afraid it's better for you to meet this person.”

s.h.i.+ Qingxue looked at Wenren Chi and then looked at Uncle Li, asking in a small voice, “Brother, do you know what this Master Jin finds you for?”

Wenren Chi hesitated for a moment, he first made Uncle Li greet the guests, and then nodded, “Probably for matchmaking. His daughter has come to the camp several times.”

Wenren Chi was quite annoyed.

s.h.i.+ Qingxue glared at him and felt it unbelievable. She blurted out, “Aren't you going to marry me? How can you get entangled with this woman?”

It was Wenren Chi's turn to be stunned and speechless.

Almost a quarter of an hour later, Wenren Chi said reluctantly with his husky voice, “Do you know what you are talking about?”

s.h.i.+ Qingxue was surprised by Wenren Chi's strange att.i.tude, but still nodded without thinking, “Of course, my mother said that I would marry you.”

She had violated Dong Hui's order once, and ended up in loneliness. So she didn't intend to violate Dong Hui's order again.

Even though she had no affection for Wenren Chi at all, she should obey parents' orders and the matchmakers' words. There was nothing she couldn't do.

But Wenren Chi's att.i.tude was too strange. It seemed that he was shocked and couldn't believe it, but there seemed to be a little disgust.

s.h.i.+ Qingxue had always thought that even if Wenren Chi didn't love her, he should be like her, obeying parents' arrangements. But at this moment, she was uncertain.

She glanced at Wenren Chi cautiously and asked in a low voice, “Brother, are you unwilling to marry me?”

When they were young, they often played house. Wenren Chi married her for too many times, and she thought that it was the same as before this time.

Wenren Chi looked deeply at s.h.i.+ Qingxue. There were contradictions in his dark eyes, which he himself didn't even understand. His mouth opened and then closed for several times. Every time, he wanted to say that he was willing and he had been willing since he was young.

However, he didn't say it out in the end. Instead, he turned around and said a little coldly, “Mother is joking with you.”

“No way!” s.h.i.+ Qingxue subconsciously denied it. But she remembered that Dong Hui's att.i.tude was indeed abnormal when she said those words, so she was not so sure.

Did Dong Hui really joke with her?

Wenren Chi looked at Qingxue's small face full of confusion, and his heart was itchy and throbbing. He teased with his hoa.r.s.e voice, “Why? Do you like me?”

s.h.i.+ Qingxue looked at Wenren Chi frankly and replied without hesitation, “Of course. I like brother very much!”

Wenren Chi's heart skipped a beat, and bitterness spread uncontrollably. Because he only found admiration and respect in the pair of bright eyes, and there was no trace of affection.

He held back all his emotions and replied with a smile, “I also like Qingxue. But Qingxue, you are not young. You should know that we are just brother and sister.”

Without blood relation.

s.h.i.+ Qingxue pouted her mouth and said unhappily, “I know. You just want to say that you also like me, but it's not affection, so you won't marry me, right?”

Wenren Chi was silent and exhausted all his energy to prevent himself from saying anything to deny it immediately. He didn't tell s.h.i.+ Qingxue that he wanted to marry her, so desperately, but he couldn't marry her…

The daughter of the one having killed his dad.

s.h.i.+ Qingxue regarded his silence as his acknowledgement, and she thought that Wenren Chi was sad because he had to reject her. She took the initiative to say, “I know brother has always treated me as a sister. Then I will treat you as a brother in the future!

Don't worry. Even if you don't marry me, I will be fine.”

After a pause, she suddenly smiled again, “I know why brother refuses to marry me.”

Wenren Chi's heart beat quickly. He ignored his sorrow and asked quickly, “What do you know?”

s.h.i.+ Qingxue saw his panicked face, and she was more certain that she had guessed Wenren Chi's thoughts and said proudly, “You like Baoning, right? Therefore, you are unwilling to marry me. You want to marry Baoning when you are successful. Am I right?”

Wenren Chi calmed his panic down. He looked at s.h.i.+ Qingxue's proud look. She seemed to be wrapped in golden light, which was warm and comfortable. It made him not bear to refute, so he just reached out and rubbed Qingxue's head, and smiled, spoiling, “Silly girl.”

His voice was too low, so s.h.i.+ Qingxue didn't hear it. She was even more encouraged and patted her chest to guarantee, “You can rest a.s.sured! I will help you handle everything!”

“What?”

Qingxue pointed to the lobby and smiled secretly, “The Jin Family! I won't let those messy people ruin your dreaming marriage!”

After that, she raised her head and walked towards the lobby.

The visitor in the lobby was not Jin Hui or Mrs. Jin, but a beautiful young girl who was in her sixteen and dressed in style.

When the girl heard the sound, she looked at the door with her eyes s.h.i.+ning brightly. When she saw s.h.i.+ Qingxue, she was astonished at first and then pointed at her with anger, asking, “Who are you? Why are you in the house of Brother Chi?”

s.h.i.+ Qingxue immediately knew that the girl had misunderstood her relations.h.i.+p with Wenren Chi. But since her sister's rival in love was equal to hers, she didn't deny it. Instead, she raised her eyebrows and smiled, “Of course it was Brother Chi who brought me here. However, you came here without invitation. Aren't you ashamed?”

Hearing those words, the girl blushed, and then became mad, “Huh! You shameless vixen. You dare to seduce Brother Chi. I will kill you!”

After that, she rushed towards s.h.i.+ Qingxue.

Qingxue certainly wouldn't be hurt by such an ordinary person, but she saw that Wenren Chi also came in, so she quickly moved sideways to avoid the girl's attack. She suddenly fell into Wenren Chi's arms and said coquettishly as usual, “Brother Chi, she wants to hit me. I'm so scared!”

Wenren Chi's gooseb.u.mps were aroused by the affected voice, but his care for s.h.i.+ Qingxue defeated everything. He subconsciously guarded her in his arms, “Are you hurt? Let me check!”

s.h.i.+ Qingxue was like a delicate flower. She patted her chest and said softly, “She is so fierce. She scares me.”

When the girl saw s.h.i.+ Qingxue sue her, she was angrier and scolded with threatening gestures, “You are so shameless. I dare you to fight with me. Whoever wins will have Brother Chi. How are you qualified when you only can sue me secretly?”

s.h.i.+ Qingxue rolled her eyes secretly and uttered her tongue when the girl couldn't see it. Who wanted to fight with this savage woman? Was she too idle?

Wenren Chi pinched the back of Qingxue's hand, warning her silently.

Qingxue hurriedly pleased him and smiled, “I didn't sue her secretly. I said it frankly.”

Wenren Chi shook his head in disagreement, “Why did you provoke her?”

She pouted her mouth pitifully, “She said that I was shameless.”

The two were communicating in silence, and the girl's curse was getting harsher and harsher.

Wenren Chi took back his gaze and stared at the girl unpleasantly and snorted in a cold voice, “Miss Jin, I don't think my sister has offended you before. Why do you insult her at will?”

Jin Lianyi, the lady from the Jin Family, abruptly stopped cursing. She glared at him and asked stupidly, “Who do you say she is?”

Uncle Li answered kindly aside, “This is the sister of Master, Sixth Lady of the s.h.i.+ Family.”

Jin Lianyi was suddenly astonished and didn't react for a long time, as if she were a statue.

s.h.i.+ Qingxue carefully admired Jin Lianyi's surprised and regretful look, and she was quite satisfied. When she wanted to make this worse, Wenren Chi glared at her fiercely.

She shut her mouth in fear.

Wenren Chi didn't want to talk more to Jin Lianyi, so he waved his sleeve and said straightforwardly, “Miss Jin has a high status. My House of Wenren Family can't serve guests like you. Please go back!”

Jin Lianyi had just went in the House of Wenren Family and hadn't stayed for a while, when she was ruthlessly driven out by Wenren Chi.
