"I... just..." She looked at the man in front of her, her eyes a little confused, "I just?" The question lingered in her mouth, but it was difficult to explain the reason. Was it a wrong choice, and was it worth paying the price?

The interaction between the two is like a mirror, reflecting their different emotional states and temperature differences in the moment of interweaving, waiting for the next deeper dialogue and understanding.

At this moment, there was a "bang" sound - a door was knocked open by someone, and the image of the man in the room escaped from the window like a flash of light.

Chu Ning turned her gaze to the crack in the door and found a figure standing there, seemingly hesitant and not coming closer. Was he waiting for an answer?

A few seconds passed, and she suddenly caught a familiar voice - gentle and somewhat intimate - "Have you put on your shirt?" The warmth and familiar tone in the voice reminded her of someone instantly. "Have you put on your shirt?" It was this question that finally triggered her memory. She quickly straightened her clothes and gave a positive answer: "Yes."

The conversation, actions and echoes at this moment seemed to reconstruct a certain missing part of Chu Ning's heart. She was no longer a lonely loner, but gradually became the protagonist in a certain memory fragment, looking for those lost clues and uncovering the true story hidden behind the layers of fog.

The moment he opened his mouth, Xiao Ji Chen held Chu Chu's hand tightly, pressing it against his chest, like a solid protection to prevent her from any threat.

"I don't care what they think of us," he whispered, "only if you want me." These words seemed like a key that opened his heart and exposed a deep emotion. At this moment, their connection became closer, and their feelings for each other seemed to reach another level.

Chuchu looked at his resolute expression, and her heart warmed. She understood his promise and trust, and deeply felt the uniqueness of this relationship. She looked back into his eyes, and the power contained in his gaze seemed to be able to withstand all fear and anxiety.

At this moment, time seemed to stand still. The atmosphere in the main hall changed quietly, and the silence around them and the strong emotions between the two people formed a unique atmosphere.

As a breeze blew into the room illuminated by warm light, a calm and peaceful atmosphere gradually surrounded them, making all the troubles disappear in an instant.

At this moment, they are no longer just people marginalized by the world. On the contrary, in this light and shadow woven by love, the two embrace each other and become inseparable. Facing the unknown and fear, they have a firm direction and strength in their hearts.

Xiao Fengxing led Xiaoya into the spacious hall, and then found a small chair in the corner and sat down. He greeted the crowd with a smile, while his sister Feng Qing frowned slightly, "Why are you here?"

"I don't know," he did not answer directly, but turned to the girl next to him, "Ya, as a subordinate, are you behaving appropriately? Why did you arrive only now? Is this delaying things?" He whispered in Xiaoya's ear, his eyes revealing a hint of concern and worry.

Facing Xiao Fengxing's words, Xiaoya curled her lips and smiled, seeming to have a lot of opinions about this scene. "Are you really angry?" There was a trace of confusion in her eyes, "You don't seem to remember what I said to you." These words were like a heavy hammer, knocking Fengxing back from the previous awkward atmosphere. She shook her head gently, expressing her emotions in a playful manner, sticking out her tongue to play in front of Fengxing, as if trying to ease the serious atmosphere just now. Then, she stood up, her eyes full of a little hesitation about what might happen next, but without losing the curiosity and courage of a girl, and decided to leave the hall to seek the answer she wanted.

Seeing all this, Feng Xing was surprised and pleased. "It seems that you are willing to be with me," he said with a smile, "You seem to have changed a lot." Although his words were a little teasing, they inadvertently revealed his deep affection for his sister.

Just as Xiaoya was about to leave, Feng Xing held her arm tightly and gently stroked her head, "Cute silly girl!" Then he turned to Feng Qing and asked softly, "Sister Feng Qing, can I make a request? But I have a condition first. I hope you can understand this proposal."

"Oh? What's the matter?" Feng Qing's slightly puzzled eyes flashed with curiosity about unknown things. She looked quite relaxed, as if she had already foreseen how this conversation would unfold.

Hearing the "invitation" mentioned in Fengxing's words, and the name "Qiu Liuya", Xiaoya's mood began to become complicated and contradictory. The scene in her memory emerged in her mind, which was the story that happened yesterday. At this moment, Xiaoya's mood was like a rolling wave, with a sense of comfort and relief, but also a touch of indescribable sadness.

Not long after, the woman called "Qiu Liuya" walked into the hall. She glanced at the crowd inadvertently and finally fixed her gaze on Feng Xing. She knelt down respectfully and sat down. Her eyes kept wandering back and forth between the two people, as if trying to find the result or answer she expected.

Hearing the proposal that "the person to be married is Qiu Liuya", Feng Xing's tone was firm and unquestionable. Like a king's declaration, he put forward clear demands and showed a strong leadership charm and sense of authority to everything around him. Afterwards, Qiu Liuya was invited back to his house and was officially welcomed into the harem.

However, what surprised and comforted Feng Xing the most during the whole conversation was that Xiao Ya did not seem to resist this proposal as before, and even showed some expressions of approval or expectation. This scene touched the usually arrogant Feng Xing - Xiao Ya might really have some subtle feelings for him, and even loved him deeply in her heart.

Faced with all these changes and developments, Feng Xing's surprise is mixed with doubts. Although she and he used to have a special connection with each other, Feng Xing now realizes that, in some ways, their feelings may have surpassed the boundaries between siblings and gradually evolved into a deeper emotional interweaving and dependence. This reality fills Feng Xing's heart with complex emotions - relief, pride, but also hidden anxiety and expectations for the future. At this moment, he also understands that this will be a major change in his life that is full of unknowns and excitement.

As a series of events happened, Feng Xing not only witnessed a miracle of love, but also re-recognized and redefined the meaning of "responsibility, trust, and love" in his heart. Although this journey was difficult and complicated, it was also an indispensable part of growth. In this process, the relationship between Feng Xing, Qiu Liuya, and Feng Qing was also deepened and adjusted unprecedentedly.

Behind all these developments are the most touching themes of love stories - choice, commitment and growth. In this unknown area, every decision and every emotional choice will lead the characters into a new stage of life and ultimately create a desirable love story.

Just as he was about to speak, Li Ming turned to Xiaowan and said, "Wan'er, don't you understand etiquette? Do you want people to point fingers at you behind your back? Do you know how important the four words "propriety, righteousness, integrity and shame" are? Do you think that if you marry me, you can do whatever you want without any scruples? Have you noticed that the Lord has been standing at the door for a long time? Why haven't you offered him a cup of tea to show your respect? What are you thinking about deep in your mind, huh?" His tone seemed as if he was talking about other people's affairs, but also seemed to be pointing directly at Xiaowan's mistakes.

Wan'er hurriedly stood up to express her apologies and started to make tea.

Li Ming frowned slightly, then said: "Don't worry, this is just a joke. If you can stay here and help with the management, I, Li Ming, will take good care of you. Although we are not husband and wife in name, we actually live like husband and wife during this period. Don't say discordant words, and please be gentle to me when you treat me." Then, he gently touched Wan'er's hair and sat down again, as if what happened just now had never happened, with a calm and self-controlled look on his face!

"Okay, Xiaowan, I'll leave everything to you from now on." The smile was warm and peaceful, unprecedented. Unlike before, this smile was full of sincerity, frankness and without any selfishness. Li Ming's voice was filled with care and trust, like winter sunshine.

Xiaowan curled her lips, looking dissatisfied, and then left to carry out the assigned task. Ling'er followed closely behind her, quickly bowed to express her gratitude, and followed Xiaowan's pace, not daring to fall behind.

"Xiao Wan, listen to me, I haven't finished yet..." However, even though Ling'er was running after Xiao Wan, Xiao Wan chose to close her eyes and not listen, but just walked forward firmly.

"Xiaowan, Xiaowan, are you really not going to consider listening to my explanation? It was not my original intention, and I have no other intention. Please understand and accept it after you listen to it clearly once." As the footsteps approached, Xiaowan couldn't help but quicken her pace.

Hearing the response "You do want it", she couldn't help but stop, turned her head and spoke loudly to Ling'er, her eyes full of confusion and disbelief.

Ling'er lowered her head, remaining silent. She couldn't find a reasonable way to defend herself amidst all these complicated emotions. She didn't want to face the possible consequences of losing friends or family members, and she even felt unspeakable helplessness about the current situation. It seemed as if she was forced to endure all this, but she didn't know how to explain it clearly.
