Chapter 179 I will guard you and protect you for the rest of my life
"Isn't she just a little charlatan with no parents?"
"Even if we don't know who her parents are for now, the support of the Zhao, Lin, and Wang families alone is beyond the reach of 99% of people."
Xiao Ran still looked down on Nan Xuanwei, but she didn't dare to laugh at her openly. She had her parents and Xiao Shiyu protecting her at home, and she also had the Zhao and Lin families to rely on. She couldn't be easily moved: "She is quite capable, but it's not that easy for her to enter the Xiao family."
She thought that her nephew might just be in love with her on a whim and forget about it after a while. She would just wait and see.
At the Xiao family, after seeing off Wang Shaoqian, Nan Xuanwei returned to her room holding a box of jade. The jade sent by the Wang family was of particularly good quality, with large pieces and rich water content. Nan Xuanwei picked out three pieces and planned to give them to Duan Jinshu, Lu Yuning and Xiao Qingyan. The two pieces for the elders were suitable for making jewelry, so she asked them to find craftsmen to polish them themselves. As for the piece for Xiao Qingyan, she wanted to engrave two heart-shaped locks, one for each of them.
In the study, the Xiao family gathered together to discuss the engagement. Xiao Shiyu wrote a few invitations by hand, thinking of delivering them personally to Master Shangyang and the little girl's brothers tomorrow.
"As for the Nanxuan family, Patriarch Zhao only wants to invite the old man and Nan Yi." Xiao Qinian wanted to hear what his grandson thought.
"I thought so too. Tomorrow I will go to Ziyun Temple to deliver the invitations, and then I will ask the little girl to call Nan Yi when I come back."
After discussing things, Xiao Shiyu wanted to go see Nan Xuanwei, and Xiao Qingyan followed him closely.
"Why are you following me?"
"I'm not following you. I'm going to play with Weiwei."
"We need some private space, we need to spend time together, understand? You can play with her when I'm not home, and you can play with someone else when I'm back!"
"Why?"
"Do you still want a sister-in-law?"
"Isn't this a done deal? Go to work. Don't worry, I will take good care of Weiwei."
Nan Xuanwei opened the door of her room, and she took Xiao Qingyan's hand: "I designed a jade locket. How about we each wear one after it's made?" She was completely focused on Xiao Qingyan and completely ignored Xiao Shiyu who was standing beside her.
"I am your fiancé, shouldn't you give me the good things first?" Xiao Shiyu blocked the door that was about to close with his long legs. This girl was too much. She didn't think of him first when there was something good, and she even locked him out.
"You're not wearing any jewelry, so don't make trouble!" Nan Xuanwei wanted to close the door again.
Xiao Shiyu twisted his body and slipped into the room. He saw two drawings on the table. On them were two patterns of love locks, small and cute. He pointed at one of them and said, "I want this one, and you wear the other one!"
"Why? That's what Weiwei was planning to give me!"
"five million!"
"Am I the kind of person who would give up friendship for five million?"
"Ten million!"
"The bond between Weiwei and I is indestructible!"
"Stop the card or 10 million, you choose one."
Xiao Qingyan's big eyes rolled around, "You're not going up!"
"It won't go up anymore, I'm afraid of chaos, you can choose now!"
Xiao Qingyan put her arm around Nan Xuanwei's shoulders and whispered in her ear, "I'll choose 10 million and give you 500 later. I'll find a better piece of jade and you can carve two rings for us to wear together."
"All right!"
After the two of them had discussed it, Xiao Shiyu pushed his sister out, but Xiao Qingyan didn't want to leave.
"Don't forget that Fatty Meng hasn't gotten my approval yet!"
"Brother, I think you have a mental problem. You are being bullied by Senior Brother Weiwei, so you can't bear to see others have an easy life."
"You're right. It's been so hard for me to find a wife, why should he succeed so easily?"
You are so cruel! Xiao Qingyan gave Nan Xuanwei a kiss on the face, and then left with a provocative snort at her brother.
Xiao Shiyu took a wet towel from the table and wiped Nan Xuanwei's face: "Next time she dares to do something stupid, you beat her up!"
"Qingyan and I are good sisters, we can't fight. She's not a man, there's no need to be angry!"
"How can you not be angry? I didn't even kiss you!" Xiao Shiyu's tone was filled with infinite grievance. He stole a glance at Nan Xuanwei and whispered, "You only have your good sisters in your heart. There is no place for me, your fiancé."
Nan Xuanwei was not good at dealing with such things. She stared at him blankly. Xiao Shiyu held her face and asked softly, "Can I?"
What can I do? Nan Xuanwei didn't understand what he meant. When he saw Nan Xuanwei's ignorant eyes, Xiao Shiyu's charming mood turned into heartache, and he held her in his arms.
Because the Saint Mo Yan was in charge of the Pure Love Lamp, she was also in charge of all mortals' seven emotions and six desires. When she died, her emotions were shattered and dissipated between heaven and earth. Even though he later tried to repair her soul and let her reincarnate, she was still ignorant about all kinds of emotions. She only knew that she had to repay others for being good to her and fight back when others were hostile to her. In other aspects, she was like a blank sheet of paper, which made her feel sad just thinking about it.
Leaning in Xiao Shiyu's arms, listening to his strong heartbeat, Nan Xuanwei was like a well-behaved kitten. Xiao Shiyu gently stroked her back: "I will guard you and protect you for the rest of my life."
"Yeah, I know." She believed what Xiao Shiyu said. As for why she believed him so much, Nan Xuanwei couldn't say. It was as if he had been protecting her for many, many years.
The next day, after Xiao Shiyu set off for Ziyun Temple, Nan Xuanwei received a call from Nan Yi. Tomorrow was the birthday of Nan Xuanqi's wife Ling Manyun, and her family wanted her to go back for a reunion and to get to know her relatives.
"Can I pick you up in half an hour?"
"Okay!" Nan Xuanwei rummaged through the box sent by her third senior brother, and finally picked out a wooden talisman that was struck by lightning and put it in the box, then changed into a linen skirt and went to the living room.
"Grandma Xiao, Mom Xiao, I have to go out for two days."
"Weiwei, where are you going? Why don't you let Qingyan accompany you? I'll call her now." Lu Yuning asked.
"No need, my uncle will come to pick me up later. I need to go back to Nanxuan's house."
The housekeeper came to report that a gentleman named Nan Yi wanted to see him.
"Please ask him to come in!" Lu Yuning sent a message to her son while speaking.
Nan Yi brought a lot of gifts. After saying hello to Lu Yuning, he wanted to take Nan Xuanwei out.
"You are Weiwei's uncle, so you are our Xiao family's distinguished guest. Have lunch before leaving!"
"No, we are in a hurry and need to get home before dark!"
Didn't they say that the Nanxuan family is also in the Imperial Capital? There is no problem crossing the province before dark. Where on earth does he want to take Weiwei? Lu Yuning kept looking at his phone: Son, please answer my question!
Nan Xuanwei hugged Lu Yuning before leaving: "Don't worry, nothing will happen."
"If you have anything, call Mother Xiao!"
After seeing them off until the car completely disappeared from sight, Lu Yuning finally received a reply from her son: I'll be back soon, please keep them for a while.
