Rebirth of the High Family's Beloved

The two people who were originally chatting enthusiastically, shut up at the same time when they saw Xie Chengyin come in, and looked at Xie Chengyin together.

Xie Chengyin was still thinking about listening to what the two of them were talking about, but when he saw their expressions, he knew that they probably didn't want him to hear what they were saying.

Xie Chengyin became more and more curious, wondering if there was anything he couldn't listen to.

Just as I was thinking about it, I saw Yan Ci stand up and said, "It's getting late. I have to go to the palace before the lock is locked. I'll take my leave first."

Xie Chengyi also stood up immediately, "Miss Yan, please walk slowly. A Yin will go and see you off."

After being given a look by Xie Chengyi, Xie Chengyin put down the tray and followed him out.

Yan Ci walked very fast, and Xie Chengyin trotted to catch up with him. The two of them followed Yan Ci and walked towards the door together.

The two walked side by side. Seeing that Yan Ci had no intention of speaking, Xie Chengyin coughed lightly and couldn't help asking, "Well, what did you and my brother talk about that made you so happy?"

As Yan Ci walked, his brows relaxed, a faint smile appeared on the corners of his lips. He tilted his head slightly to look at Xie Chengyin and said slowly: "Marquis Yongding said that you wet your pants when you were eight years old."

After hearing this, Xie Chengyin was stunned for a moment, then his face quickly turned red from the tips of his ears to his cheeks. He looked so embarrassed that he wished he didn't have a mouth.

"That...that has a reason!"

Xie Chengyin stiffened his neck, eager to clarify himself.

Yan Ci raised his eyebrows, interested, "Oh? What's the reason?"

Xie Chengyin really didn't want to mention this extremely embarrassing thing. He had lived two lifetimes and was nearly forty years old in total. It was really embarrassing to talk about the embarrassing incident of wetting his pants when he was a child.

But Yan Ci was still a serious person, as if to say, "If you want to explain, I will listen." This made Xie Chengyin lose his temper instantly.

In his heart, he was just planning to settle the score with Xie Chengyi when he got back.

Xie Chengyin's hands were twisted together behind his back, and his thoughts searched through his memories of his youth.

"I drank too much water."

Yan Ci blinked his big, bright eyes, and the faint smile in them immediately overflowed from his eyes with a silver bell-like laughter.

"Xie Chengyin, you are too perfunctory. Have you forgotten why?"

Xie Chengyin did not forget. He remembered it very clearly. It was because he drank too much water and ran too fast, and he fell on the way to the toilet. He couldn't hold it in and got his pants wet.

He was so embarrassed that he couldn't go out for three days.

But seeing that Yan Ci seemed to not believe it, he was unwilling to explain more. Explanation was just covering up, and the more he said, the more obvious it would seem.

Xie Chengyin raised his head proudly, "Believe it or not."

Yan Ci looked at Xie Chengyin's serious and determined face, and patted him on the shoulder comfortingly, "It's okay, it's normal for children to wet their pants."

The self-confidence that Xie Chengyin had worked so hard to build up collapsed in an instant: he felt comforted (violated).

The distance from the main hall to the door was not far. The two of them exchanged a few words, and Yan Ci walked quickly, so they were out of the mansion in a short while.

However, Chunzhi was told by Xie Chengyin to go back to Yan Mansion to reply to the letter, and the carriage also went back. When Yan Ci arrived at the door, he was a little dumbfounded.

"Where are my maidservants and my carriage?"

Yan Ci looked around and thought that after he followed Xie Chengyi into the main hall, Xie Chengyin seemed to be still behind them.

Xie Chengyin did not hide it, "I told them to go back and deliver the letter. It's getting dark early now, and the palace gates are locked early. I'm afraid you won't be able to make it if you go to the palace at this time. You should go home today and come back tomorrow."

The empty streets looked a bit bleak. Yan Ci couldn't help but wrap his cloak tightly around him and muttered quietly, "They are quite obedient to you."

Xie Chengyin had good hearing. Although Yan Ci spoke in a low voice, he did not avoid Xie Chengyin, so his words fell clearly into Xie Chengyin's ears.

Xie Chengyin smiled happily, "This shows how much their master trusts me."

Yan Ci turned his head and rolled his eyes. He really knew how to flatter himself.

I secretly remembered this in my heart and would emphasize it to Chunzhi when I got back, telling her not to listen to anyone else.

Yan Ci couldn't leave, so she stood at the door waiting for Chunzhi and the carriage to come back to pick her up. Although Xie Chengyin didn't offer to send her off, he waited with her at the door.

The two stood side by side at the door, one looked up at the gradually darkening sky, while the other turned to look at the person standing next to him.

Thinking of the rumors about Xie Chengyi that he had heard from Qiu Fuqiu, and comparing them with the Yongding Marquis he had seen today, Yan Ci felt that they were very different.

Then he asked Xie Chengyin: "I heard from Miss Qiu that your brother is a serious and taciturn person. What I saw today seems a little untrue."

Xie Chengyin retracted his gaze from the sky, turned his head and glanced at Yan Ci, "Qiu Fuqiu is actually right, my brother is indeed a rather cold person, especially when facing someone as enthusiastic as Miss Qiu, my brother doesn't even have time to hide."

Yan Ci shook his head, "Not really. I think Marquis Yongding is also a very enthusiastic person. We had a very pleasant chat."

Xie Chengyin's face darkened. You guys are happy, but he is the one who is hurt.

The two of them chatted and brought up his past for fun.

This is obviously a case of one's own happiness being built on the suffering of others.

Xie Chengyin didn't want to bring up the past, so he changed the subject and said, "Don't let Qiu Fuqiu hear this, or she'll be jealous and go crazy."

Yan Ci was puzzled: "Why?"

"Because she has wanted to be my sister-in-law for a long time."

Yan Ci suddenly realized, "No wonder, she talked to me about the Marquis of Yongding every three sentences, and I thought she was attracted to you, but I was wrong. I should have agreed to the Marquis of Yongding's request earlier."

"What do you want to promise my brother?" Xie Chengyin's intuition told him that what his brother wanted Yan Ci to agree to was more exciting than saying that he peed his pants.

As expected, Yan Ci smiled with a smug look on his face, "Marquis Yongding asked me to be a matchmaker for you and introduce you to a lady from a wealthy family as your wife."

Xie Chengyin looked at Yan Ci with complicated eyes. Seeing Yan Ci's indifferent look, he suddenly felt depressed for some reason.

It must be that his brother asked someone else to act as a matchmaker for him without consulting him, which made him feel unhappy.

Xie Chengyin refused to be outdone and said, "As for you, if you have the ability, introduce someone to me. If it works out, I will treat you to a wedding banquet."

Yan Ci smiled brightly, "That's great, tell me, what kind do you like?"

Facing Yan Ci's bright eyes, Xie Chengyin suddenly thought of Yan Ci standing on the rooftop shivering when he visited the Prime Minister's residence at night. His heart softened and he blurted out, "I like timid people."

Yan Ci said with a click of his tongue: "Xie Chengyin, you have quite unique tastes. Okay, I got it. I will definitely find you a timid and docile girl."

Before Xie Chengyin could say a few more words, a carriage with the word "Yan" on its license plate came driving along the wide road and stopped steadily in front of the gate of the Marquis' Mansion.

Chunzhi jumped out of the car and ran to Yan Ci, "Miss, I have sent a letter to the palace. You can go back home today and enter the palace tomorrow."

Yan Ci nodded and followed Chunzhi towards the carriage. Before entering the carriage, he did not forget to turn around and say hello to Xie Chengyin.

"I'm leaving now. Thank you for waiting with me for so long. I will definitely introduce you to a great girl."

After saying that, he turned around and got into the carriage. With the sound of horses neighing, the Yan family's carriage left.

Xie Chengyin looked at the departing carriage, and his chest tightness seemed to get worse.
