Li Zhehao was obviously feeling guilty. "Of course not. No matter who Ning'er is, I must have her."

Li Yaxuan immediately felt confident. "Second brother, you obviously understand this principle, so why bother asking me? I like Ye Hengjing because he is who he is. It has nothing to do with his nationality or identity."

Li Zhehao had no way of refutation after hearing what Li Yaxuan said and could only sigh.

"Of course I understand what you said. I was too excited just now. Some things are really beyond my control and cannot be explained clearly. But Xuan'er, you are special. You are not experienced in the world. Second brother is worried that you have been deceived. Although Ye Hengjing helped me and your second sister-in-law, this does not reflect his character. It's only been a month. Do you really know him?"

After hearing this, Li Yaxuan finally understood that her second brother was so angry just because he was worried about her.

"Brother, I know you all protect me and worry about me. Although I have never been out of the house in those years, I have read a lot of books and understand a lot of things. In the past two years, I have finally been able to go out and have learned a lot from my cousin and sister-in-law. I am no longer the naive little girl. During these days of getting along with each other, I have been deeply attracted to Ye Hengjing. His advantages cannot be explained in a few words. Ye Hengjing treats me sincerely, and I can naturally feel it. You don't have to worry about this, brother."

Li Yaxuan's words touched Li Zhehao. Only then did he truly realize that the sister he had always protected had actually grown up unknowingly, and had understood many things and could make her own decisions.

Li Zhehao sighed helplessly, "Okay, I don't have the right to say what Ye Hengjing's character is like. I will trust your vision for now, so what are you going to do now? Are you going to give up everything here and go with him?"

When I asked this question, all I got was endless silence.

The awkward atmosphere was suffocating. Xiao Qingning tried to smooth things over by saying, "Xuan'er obviously hasn't made up her mind yet, otherwise she wouldn't be so worried. We've all been through these things, and what Xuan'er needs now is our support. Let's discuss countermeasures together. Xuan'er, can you tell us what you think now?"

"Sister-in-law, I... I really don't know. I feel like my palms and the backs of my hands are made of flesh, and I can't give up either side. But unfortunately, I can't choose them both at the same time. I have to give up one of them."

Xiao Qingning sighed when he heard this, he felt the same way.

"Xuan'er, I understand your feelings very well. A month ago, I was also faced with such a dilemma and almost collapsed. If it weren't for Ye Hengjing's help, I would have to choose between my father, the country, and my lover. That feeling was really worse than death. Although we don't know Ye Hengjing, the fact that he is willing to help us is enough to show that he is a kind-hearted person."

Li Zhehao disagreed with this. "Ning'er, your idea is a bit too hasty. You can't say he is a good person just because he helped us, right?"

Xiao Qingning was speechless at the moment and couldn't help rolling his eyes.

This person clearly said two days ago that he was very grateful to Ye Hengjing and that he felt very comfortable interacting with him, but now he is unsure about his character. He changes really quickly.

As expected, when it comes to matters involving his sister, Li Zhehao can't think calmly and he starts to dislike everyone.

Xiao Qingning couldn't help but retort, "Then you can't say that Ye Hengjing is bad just because he wants to take Xuan'er away, right? Xuan'er is also a person with her own ideas. The people she likes must have outstanding qualities. Can't you trust her vision first? If you are really worried, why don't you go and find out or test it yourself and find the answer yourself? Why do you have to say this about others behind their backs?"

Seeing that her second brother and his wife were arguing about her, Li Yaxuan hurried to dissuade them.

"Brother and sister-in-law, please don't quarrel over this, or I will feel very sorry."

Seeing that Li Yaxuan was a little sad, Xiao Qingning quickly comforted her, "Xuan'er, don't worry. Second sister-in-law is not targeting you. It's just that I have experienced it, so I can empathize with you. If it weren't for Ye Hengjing, I don't know what I would become. Your second brother has no idea how uncomfortable this feeling is, so he can naturally say something sarcastic."

Li Zhehao softened his attitude a little when he saw that Xiao Qingning was a little unhappy.

"Ning'er, don't be angry. That's not what I meant. I just said that Ye Hengjing's character remains to be seen. It's not that I can't empathize with you. I can understand how you felt at that time, and I understand how Xuan'er feels now. It's just that I know how difficult the path she has chosen is, so I'm worried about her. Even if I agree, they can't get past their family. Do I need to say more about how much Xuan'er's parents love her? How could they agree to her marrying to Weiyuan Country?"

Li Yaxuan was moved after hearing these words. Her second brother would always be the one who loved her the most and cared about her the most.

Li Yaxuan also knows how much her family loves her and how much they protect her, but she cannot live under the wings of her family forever. One day she will have to face the wind and rain on her own.

At this moment, Li Yaxuan became more determined to live for herself and fought bravely for it.

"Brother, I know how good you and your family are to me, but I can't just stand behind you and accept your protection forever. Although I know that doing so will make you sad and I know that this is very unfilial, but I really want to fight for myself this time. I have been an obedient child since I was young, and I listen to you in everything. But now I want to be brave and try for my own happiness once, just once. Even if I fail in the end, at least I won't have any regrets, okay?"

This was the first time in her life that Li Yaxuan spoke her true thoughts in front of her family, and her words moved both Li Zhehao and Xiao Qingning.

Xiao Qingning couldn't help but want to help Li Yaxuan: "Zhehao..."

Before he could finish his words, he was stopped by Li Zhehao.

Li Zhehao said seriously: "Xuan'er, second brother only wants to ask you one question, do you really like Ye Hengjing so much?"

Li Yaxuan looked at Li Zhehao seriously and nodded firmly.

"Brother, I really like him. I have met quite a few people since I was able to go out. But I have never met someone who understands me so well and makes my heart beat so fast. Although we have not known each other for a long time, the feelings between us are already very deep. I have a strong feeling that if I miss him this time, I will never meet such a person again, and it will be a regret of my whole life."
