"Is that acquaintance of yours a woman?" Xia Yuanqiu asked directly.
Zhu Yan looked slightly embarrassed, and nodded slightly.
Xia Yuanqiu raised his eyebrows slightly, and asked again: "Old lover?"
Zhu Yan hurriedly waved his hands: "No, no, it's definitely not what you think. I have nothing to do with her."
"Since it has nothing to do with her, why don't you want to meet her?" Xia Yuanqiu pressed.
Seeing that Xia Yuanqiu didn't intend to let him go, Zhu Yan simply said the whole thing, so as to avoid any misunderstanding in the future.
"She is the granddaughter of my grandmother's younger sister. I met her a few times in the Jiang family when I was a child. At that time, my grandmother and her grandmother joked that they would make a pair with us. I was young at the time, and I didn't know what it meant to make a pair. Playing together, I happily agreed, and I was very happy. Later, when I got older, I realized the meaning of making a pair, so I deliberately distanced myself from her, but she seemed to recognize the joke we had when we were young, and kept clamoring for a pair. Marry me, you know, I had a marriage contract with you when I was young, even if you disappeared in those years, but my marriage contract with you has never been annulled, and I only regard her as my younger sister, and I have never mentioned anything else thought."
Xia Yuanqiu said with a half-smile, "I don't know if you're thinking about it or not, but that girl has a deep affection for you, and she's not too young now, could it be that she's still celibate and waiting for you?"
Zhu Yan frowned, shook his head and said, "I don't know about it either. I haven't read the letters she wrote to me in these years, and I don't know how she is doing now."
Xia Yuanqiu said: "Perhaps they will have a new groom long ago, but you are still acting affectionate here."
Zhu Yan hurriedly said: "This is the best way. I don't want to see her because I am afraid that she is not yet married. If we meet, it will appear that I have delayed her, so I don't have to feel guilty."
Xia Yuanqiu snorted, "Since you feel guilty, it proves that you have thought about her. Otherwise, why do you feel guilty?"
Seeing Xia Yuanqiu's serious face, Zhu Yan was afraid that she would really misunderstand, so he hurriedly swear to the sky, and solemnly said: "I, Zhu Yan, have always treated her like a brother and sister, if I think too much about it, I will be struck by lightning. "Yuan Qiu was the first girl he fell in love with, and also the last one. He only had Yuan Qiu in his heart, and he couldn't tolerate anyone else, let alone allow the slightest trace of affection between him and Yuan Qiu to appear. Impurities.
Xia Yuanqiu doesn't know Zhu Yan's intentions, whether one person is sincere to another person, how can she, a little goblin who has lived two lives, not be able to see that Zhu Yan treats her wholeheartedly, she is like a mirror in her heart, so pressing He just wanted to tease him, seeing his nervous appearance, she burst into laughter in her heart.
Han Niang is a person who has been here, and she can see Xia Yuanqiu's evil plan at a glance. Seeing that Zhu Yan is really anxious, she can't stand it anymore, so she stepped forward and said: "Your Highness is smart all his life, can't you even see such a small idea of a woman?" Come out? Sister Yuan Qiu is teasing you, look at your nervousness, your palms are sweating!"
Zhu Yan looked at Yuan Qiu's face again, and sure enough, she saw a sly smile in her beautiful eyes, he was relieved first, then glared at Xia Yuanqiu, leaned closer to his ear, and said in a low voice: "You little goblin, Let's see how my husband treats you at night."
Xia Yuanqiu glanced at him softly, and muttered: "Whoever cleans up may not be sure, but don't speak harsh words so quickly."
Zhu Yan laughed happily, for him, no matter who punishes whom, it is a great boon to him.
