Judging by the way she combed her hair, she should not have left the cabinet yet, but she stood so close to a married man. Whether it was intentional or unintentional, this kind of excessive closeness can only show one thing, this woman likes Leng Zongmu .

Fortunately, Leng Zongmu immediately took two steps back calmly, otherwise, Cen Nan would have given him the title of "scumbag".

"It's okay, Sister Ruan'er doesn't need to worry about it."

Sister Ruan'er?The corner of Cen Nan's mouth twitched, it seemed that he had to try on this "scumbag" hat.

He secretly raised his eyes and glanced at Xia Lan who was standing sideways beside him, who was also looking at Leng Zongmu's direction at the moment, with a calm expression and no waves on his face, did he get used to it?Or do you say you don't care?

Cen Nan thought, judging from the relationship between Xia Lan and Leng Zongmu, the possibility of the latter is almost negligible, and it seems that it can only be the former. Thinking of this, his little brows unconsciously frowned.

"This time, the old man specially brought his little girl here to congratulate the prince on his birthday, and wish him a spirit of dragon and horse, and wish him to be promoted every step of the way."

The person who spoke looked just past the age of forty, with a goatee the length of an adult's index finger, impressively upside-down eyebrows, slightly gray-black in color, much longer and thicker than ordinary people's, straight up and upside down on the face Coupled with a pair of majestic tiger eyes shining fiercely, one can tell at a glance that it is not a good thing.

Cen Nan saw that although his head was lowered when he clasped his fists and saluted, he could not see any respect at all.

"That's Ning Kai, the general of the town army, and beside him is his young daughter Ning Ruan," Xia Lan introduced to Cen Nan at the right time.

According to the books that Cen Nan had read before, in Yunmu, the military ranks are divided into nine ranks. Among them, the first rank is the general of the country, and the king of Pingnan Leng Zongmu is the first rank of the general. The general of the town army is a second-rank official.

Taking into account his seniority, and only one and a half ranks lower than Leng Zongmu, it's no wonder he looks so "arrogant and domineering".

Seeing his daughter Ning Ruan peeking at Leng Zongmu in front of her from time to time, Cen Nan wanted to roll her eyes. Didn't they say that ancient women knew books and kept etiquette?Such blatant coveting of a married woman, how can she be half reserved!

Seeing the three talking and laughing there, Cen Nan was inexplicably upset.

He glanced sideways at Xia Lan, "Sister Lan, let's go there."

After saying that, Cen Nan walked straight past Xia Lan, but Xia Lan stayed where she was and did not move.

Blinking in a daze, Cai Nan'er's eyes just now seemed to be playful, and also seemed to have a hint of evil.

how come? !I must have read it wrong...

When he looked up again, Cen Nan had already walked a certain distance, and hurriedly raised his heels to follow up.

"Brother Leng", Cen Nan stepped forward and bowed to each other.

"Nan'er is here"

As soon as he spoke, the eyes of several people fell on Cen Nan.

"This is", Ning Ruan said in doubt.

It was only then that Cen Nan saw the woman's appearance clearly. She had an oval face, almond eyes and willow eyebrows, and a small cherry mouth. It was just that the raised eyebrows always made her feel...monstrous. The overly flamboyant temperament made Cen Nan want to possess Concubine Hua, so he shouted, "Give me a reward for her."

"This is Nan'er," Xia Lan said with a smile.

"Nan'er?" Ning Ruan thought he understood for a moment, and looked at Xia Lan with a comprehending expression, "He looks so cute, when is this adopted child?"

This was clearly meant to mean something, deliberately stepping on someone's pain, Cen Nan immediately raised his head, grinned, looked at Ning Ruan Tiantian with an innocent smile and said, "Thank you for your compliment, auntie."

As soon as this remark came out, Cen Nan had watched a female face-changing drama that was even more exciting than the Sichuan opera, his face was red and white, and it was not easy to explode on the spot, so he had to hold back.

"Nan'er is still young and doesn't understand these things yet, I hope sister Ruan'er won't be offended," Xia Lan said apologetically.

Ning Ruan smiled stiffly, "It doesn't matter, children say nothing, how can I argue with a child."

Xia Lan smiled and nodded, then turned to look at Cen Nan, "Nan'er, this is sister Ruan'er."

Cen Nan looked up at Xia Lan with a "ignorant" face, and asked like a curious baby, "Why? Didn't you say that the girl is already a mother at the age of fifteen? Then she should be called Auntie."

Ning Ruan's forced smile collapsed in an instant. Looking at her ugly face, Cen Nan felt that if no one else was present at the moment, she could directly strangle her to death.

"Nan'er, don't be naughty, your sister Ruan'er has not left the court yet." Xia Lan gave Cen Nan a helpless and reproachful look, "Therefore, you should call her sister Ruan'er just like calling me sister Lan." .

Hearing this, Ning Ruan looked like a drowning man who had suddenly found a life-saving straw. He slightly bent down and looked at Cen Nan and said, "I am two years younger than Sister Xia. If you call her Sister Lan, you must call her Sister Lan." I said something to Sister Ruan'er."

"Oh~ that's Nan'er's fault, sister Ruan'er, please don't take offense." Cen Nan folded his hands and lowered his head slightly, looking like a good baby who sincerely admitted his mistake.

Ning Ruangang wanted to show his generosity, but unexpectedly Cen Nan hadn't finished speaking.

"It's just that Sister Ruan'er seems to be much older than Sister Lan, but I didn't expect her to be two years younger than Sister Lan," Cen Nan said with an expression of disbelief, and finally sighed He said, "It's true that people can't be judged by their appearance."

As soon as these words came out, the originally delicate atmosphere seemed to be covered with a layer of frost. Ning Ruan bit her lower lip lightly with her white teeth, looking like she was about to "grit her teeth" immediately, and her father Ning Kai was also so angry The beard trembled several times.

"Nan'er, that's not the way to use the word." Xia Lan's tone sounded helpless, but those bright eyes were filled with gentle pampering and affection.

"The tea and snacks have been prepared in the hall, let's go inside and chat," Leng Zongmu hurriedly changed the topic in a timely manner.

Seeing the three of them walking towards the front hall, Xia Lan immediately looked down at Cen Nan, judo, "Where does Nan'er want to go?"

Cen Nanyun glanced at the two father and daughter in the front hall, "I suddenly feel a little hungry, so I'll go back to the study and have some snacks."

"Then let me accompany Nan'er."

Cen Nan didn't seem to expect Xia Lan to be like this, he froze for a moment before nodding his head in agreement.

"it is good"

On the way back to the backyard, Xia Lan walked slowly forward while holding Cen Nan's right hand.

Although Cen Nan still felt a little awkward, but thinking that he was really only...three years old, he would be treated like a child, so he stopped "struggling".

Xia Lan's hands were soft and delicate, with a hint of pleasant coolness, so comfortable that people couldn't help feeling a little nostalgic.

Looking ahead, Cen Nan even suddenly had a thought "It would be great if the road ahead never ends".Just for a moment, after realizing his slightly absurd idea, he couldn't help complaining deeply to himself.

But fortunately, only Cen Nan knew all this, and the people walking beside her didn't know what she was thinking at the moment.

After walking for a while, Xia Lan suddenly broke the silence between the two.

"Don't Nan'er think sister Ruan'er is very pretty?"

Cen Nan raised his head subconsciously, just in time to meet Xia Lan's gaze, and then quickly moved away.

"feel nothing"

Hearing this, Xia Lan couldn't help but smile, "It seems that Nan'er has a very high vision."

Looking at Xia Lan's slightly narrow eyes, Cen Nan did not deny it, and deliberately raised his head slightly.

The smile on Xia Lan's face got bigger, and after a while, "Nan'er, I hope you will always remember that no matter when, where, or what happens, you will always be the life of my third brother and me." Indispensable person".

Seeing Cen Nan gradually stop, but without turning his head or speaking, Xia Lan immediately took a step forward and knelt down in front of him, "So, don't worry about what other people say."

Xia Lan knew that what she said at this moment might be too profound for an ordinary three-year-old child, but she always felt that Cen Nan was different, so he must be able to understand what she meant.

Therefore, after a short period of hesitation and simple thinking, she decided to speak them out.

Seeing that Cen Nan just frowned, he still didn't speak, "Besides, your sister Ruan'er has no malicious intentions."

"She's not mine!" Cen Nan opened his mouth and retorted, showing a look of disgust, which made Xia Lan smile again, "Yes yes yes, sister Lan made a slip of the tongue."

Cen Nan stared at Xia Lan for a moment, and said awkwardly, "I know he has no ill intentions towards me."

"That"

As soon as the words came out of her mouth, Xia Lan seemed to understand something. When she raised her eyes, Cen Nan's deliberate avoidance of her eyes confirmed what she was thinking.

Therefore, Nan'er didn't do that because he felt that Ning Ruan's words were malicious to him, but because he felt that... Ning Ruan's words were malicious to him.

A heart seemed to be instantly bathed in the most genial and warm sunshine in the spring, and even the already gentle eyes were so soft that it was unbelievable. He raised his hand and gently hugged the little person in front of him into his arms.

"Thank you Nan'er"

Before he knew it, Cen Nan, who had gradually gotten used to Xia Lan's hug, his body stiffened for a moment, and then slowly relaxed.

Feeling the slightly uneven breath hitting the side of his neck lightly, playing with the flustered pulse, Cen Nan tried to calm his breathing, then raised his hand and patted Xia Lan's back lightly.

"actually……"

"What did Nan'er say?"

Cen Nan withdrew from Xia Lan's arms, "I'm a little hungry", he turned around and walked forward, not daring to look into Xia Lan's eyes.

With his head slightly lowered, he was still annoyed in his heart as he walked, how could he express his true inner thoughts.

Xia Lan stood up, looking at the figure who was almost fleeing, the corners of her lips could not help but rise slightly, Nan'er's murmur just now seemed to be, "Actually...you are much more beautiful than her."
