568: Love Brain

After listening to Ning Xinyou, the numerous guests immediately breathed a sigh of relief, and began to compliment Ning, and the scene was once again under control.

“Now, Guili Gege, you should go do proper business, right? After all, this gathering was originally held by Ning for you!” Ning Xinyou said.

“En, it’s been a lot of trouble for you, Xinyou. When I marry you later…” Yu Guili began to make promises.

“Alright! So many people are watching, and you’re not even embarrassed. Go on! There are a few Young Masters lying on the ground over there, and I need to deal with them for you!” Ning Xinyou said with a coquettish.

“Alright, I’ll go talk to these aristocratic families now. Duan Fei, you should come with me for this kind of thing!” Yu Guili invited Duan Fei.

“No, no, I’m not going. I hate your meaningless exchanges the most on weekdays. You even call it human relations, but in my opinion, it’s not as good as the weapon in my hand… Bang!”

Duan Fei was slapped again before he finished speaking.

But this time, he didn’t dare to be angry, because it was Shi Meitong who hit him.

“Mother, what do you mean by this?”

“Hmph, what do I mean by this? Can’t you see this is a great opportunity? If Yun Family can’t seize it… I will definitely make you suffer!”

“This… Alright! Yu, let’s go!” After being slapped, Duan Fei immediately became obedient.

Watching the two leave, the crowd also dispersed, leaving only Chen Xuan, Shi Meitong, Yun Ziling, and Ning Xinyou.

At this moment, Yun Ziling turned around, looking at Chen Xuan with a shy expression: “Young Master Chen Xuan, today… Thanks to you, otherwise, I and Yun Family would really not know what to do!”

Chen Xuan smiled at Yun Ziling, a trace of imperceptible greed flashing in his eyes: “Miss Yun, you are too polite. When I see injustice, I naturally draw my sword to help! What’s more, I am originally a guard here, and it is my duty to protect the rules here.”

When Shi Meitong saw the two exchanging glances, she immediately became displeased and was about to say something when Ning Xinyou also walked over: “Chen Xuan, right? Thanks to you for coming forward to quell this farce today, otherwise, Ning’s banquet would have become a laughingstock.”

Chen Xuan bowed slightly: “Young Miss Ning, you are too kind. This is all what I should do, after all, this concerns my Big Brother’s Face.”

“Hmm, good, your Big Brother’s Face. However, I still have something to ask you privately. Come with me.” Ning Xinyou said, then turned and walked towards a quiet courtyard.

She seemed to not care about dealing with a few Young Masters.

Chen Xuan raised his eyebrows slightly, a playful glint in his eyes, and whispered to Shi Meitong and Yun Ziling: “You two wait here for a moment, I’ll be right back.” With that, he didn’t wait for the two women to react, and followed Ning Xinyou’s footsteps.

Soon, Ning Xinyou led Chen Xuan into a quiet courtyard, surrounded by blooming flowers. A gentle breeze blew, and petals drifted down, adding a touch of poetry to this tranquil place.

But at this moment, Ning Xinyou’s expression was out of place with this beautiful scenery. She suddenly turned around, her gaze sharp as she stared at Chen Xuan, and questioned:

“Chen Xuan… Who exactly are you? Why do you appear beside my Guili Gege and possess such Heaven-Defying Aptitude? What is your purpose in approaching my Guili Gege?”

Give a big stick and then a sweet jujube, the most basic trick.

Facing Ning Xinyou, who suddenly changed her expression, Chen Xuan remained calm, his faint smile still on his Face. He took a step forward and whispered:

“Sister-in-law, you’ve misunderstood me. I, Chen Xuan, am just a wanderer. It is thanks to Big Brother’s acceptance that I have a place to stay. As for my Aptitude, it’s just innate, but if it weren’t for my Big Brother’s Wisdom Eye, I might still be digging in the mines right now!”

“What… Sister-in-law? What did you call me?” Ning Xinyou frowned slightly, a hint of surprise flashing in her eyes. She didn’t expect Chen Xuan to suddenly address her like that.

‘Well, she didn’t hear the key point. It turns out she’s a love-struck fool! She clearly had a sense of being in control just now, but now…’

‘But this is also reasonable. A direct daughter of such an aristocratic family, if she really had a brain, she wouldn’t fall for Yu Guili, a married man. As expected of the female lead in a toxic novel.’ Chen Xuan secretly complained.

However, such a woman is the easiest to deal with.

“Sister-in-law, you and Big Brother are deeply in love and will surely get married in the future. In my heart, you are already my sister-in-law!” Chen Xuan said sincerely, his eyes full of respect.

Ning Xinyou’s cheeks flushed slightly upon hearing this. She turned her head away and said coyly, “Stop talking nonsense. The matter between me and your Big Brother… has not been settled yet. You saying this…”

Although she said that, her tone was clearly no longer as sharp as before, and she no longer had the questioning attitude she had at the beginning.

“My dear sister-in-law, please don’t be modest. Everyone saw Big Brother’s concern for you at the banquet today. You meticulously prepared this banquet for Big Brother, and Big Brother must surely know your intentions. As Big Brother’s good brother, I naturally hope to share some of his burden, protect Ning, and protect you.”

“Go, you, a mere Tianxian Realm, still want to protect me? Take care of yourself first!”

Ning Xinyou listened to Chen Xuan calling her “sister-in-law” so naturally and intimately, and the doubt on her Face gradually dissipated, replaced by a hint of sweetness and joy.

Then, she feigned a sigh and said, “Alright, I’ll believe you for now. But in the future, if you have any ulterior motives, I will not let you off lightly.”

“Sister-in-law, rest assured, Chen Xuan is loyal to Big Brother, and also ‘respectful’ towards you.” Chen Xuan vowed.

Ning Xinyou nodded lightly, her gaze falling on a blooming flower in the courtyard, and she said softly:

“Although this farce today has been quelled, it also made me realize that the crises Big Brother and I will Face in the future will definitely not be few! A slight oversight and we will fall into an abyss of no return.”

She thought of Duan Fei, who pretended to be a pig to eat the tiger. How could someone be so boring?

Chen Xuan followed Ning Xinyou’s gaze and looked at the flower, saying, “Sister-in-law, you don’t have to worry. With Big Brother here, and with me, Chen Xuan, I will definitely not let you suffer any ‘harm’.”

Ning Xinyou turned to look at Chen Xuan, a strange light flashing in her eyes, as if she had a new understanding of Chen Xuan.

“You do have some insight. I hope you can live up to your words.”

“Sister-in-law, just you wait and see, I will definitely ‘do’ it!” Chen Xuan confidently patted his chest.

Ning Xinyou looked at the confident Chen Xuan, and a ripple stirred in her heart.

This young Tianxian Realm actually possessed such extraordinary eloquence and temperament, making her unconsciously want to get closer and understand him.

Of course, it was an understanding with a distance.

“Alright, you don’t need to go today. Just stay in this courtyard. Today’s matter is temporarily concluded. Tomorrow, you will continue to maintain order at the scene.” Ning Xinyou said softly, her tone no longer as distant as before.

“Yes, sister-in-law.” Chen Xuan bowed again, and Ning Xinyou turned and left.

“Sister-in-law, after you go out, you can inform Shi Meitong outside the door to come in. I have something I want to tell him.”

“Shi Meitong? Could it be that you, this boy, have taken a fancy to her family’s girl? But after all, she is also… you know, it’s not easy to handle.”

“But…”

“But what?”

“But your situation, sister-in-law, seems to be the same as mine. So since you can, why can’t I?”

“You…” Ning Xinyou only then came back to her senses, shook her head gently, and the corners of her mouth unconsciously turned up.

Then, she didn’t say much and turned to leave. This “first meeting” Chen Xuan had already left a deep impression on her heart.
