Married to a nemesis

"Why is Xiaoyan here?" Yuan Jinian, who was about to leave, also stopped when he heard Xiaoyan's name. He lowered his head and looked a few more times, only to find that Pei Qian did not admit his mistake.

Xiaoyan twisted his shoulders, trying to break free from Pei Qian's grasp, and tried to escape many times, but his strength was no match for a person who was a few years older than him.

"Let go of me, I didn't do it." Xiaoyan repeated again and again, with the stubbornness of a child in his voice, "Someone forced me to serve you the wine, and I don't know what's in the wine."

Pei Qian glanced at Yuan Ji Nian, and both of them felt a little uncomfortable when they mentioned the wine. Now that they knew who poisoned them, no one would continue to feel uncomfortable, and the two of them tacitly did not continue this topic.

"Why did Xiaoyan come here?" Yuan Jinian asked first.

For what Xiaoyan did, Yuan Ji Nian felt that he was unlucky. Maybe Prince Zhou had something to do with the death of that God of War, and it is understandable to take revenge on him.

Xiaoyan rolled his eyes, but kept his head down, and the toes of the two shoes rubbed against each other.

Both Pei Qian and Yuan Jinian were waiting for him to speak, but Xiaoyan tilted his head, opened his mouth, and bit down on the hand on his shoulder.

Pei Qian withdrew her hand because of the pain, and Xiaoyan's shoulders were free, so she took the opportunity to turn around and run away.

"I'll go." Pei Qian walked towards the door.

"Go to hell……"

Glancing at Pei Qian's legs, Yuan Jinian reached out his hand to stop Pei Qian who was about to catch up, and left the restaurant by himself, chasing after Xiaoyan.

After all, Xiaoyan is just a boy, and his body has never been exercised, so of course he can't run past Yuan Jinian.

After leaving the restaurant and turning to the alley, it took less than a mile, and Yuan Jinian took a shortcut in front of him, blocking Xiaoyan who hadn't seen him bumping into him head-on.

Yuan Ji Nian managed to stabilize his figure so that he was not knocked down by Xiao Yan. He grabbed Xiao Yan's hand, squatted down, and blocked his way to prevent him from escaping again.

Seeing Xiaoyan's emotional instability and the urge to slap him on the face at any moment, Yuan Jinian couldn't care less about face, so he calmed down and smiled with eight teeth: "You take us to the thatched cottage Brother doesn't blame you for the matter, but I just want to ask Xiaoyan, who told you that your father's death is related to me, is it... Mr. Liu?"

Xiaoyan twisted his body and wanted to escape, but he didn't want to say a word to him. Occasionally when he looked up, his eyes were bloodshot and red.

"Xiaoyan, don't worry, brother won't embarrass Mr. Liu." Yuan Jinian had no choice but to use his smiling face to deceive children.

Xiaoyan still didn't say a word, but looked straight behind him and licked his mouth.

Yuan Ji Nian followed his gaze: "Xiao Yan wants to eat candied haws?"

With bright eyes, Xiaoyan nodded vigorously.

Yuan Ji Nian supported his shoulder, touched his pocket, and found some silver: "Wait here for me, brother will buy it for you."

"Okay." Xiaoyan obediently agreed.

Bunches of candied haws were red and bright, Yuan Jinian turned around with the bought candied haws, the place where Xiaoyan was standing was empty.

Only then did he realize that he was deceived by a child again.

Yuan Ji Nian looked around at the entrance of the alley, thinking where he would run to, but before he could turn around, Pei Qian's voice came from behind him.

"He's here." Seeing him turn around, Pei Qian snorted softly, her voice full of sarcasm, "I can't stand a child."

Yuan Jinian saw Pei Qian holding up Xiaoyan's collar like a chicken, and after he turned around, his gaze shifted to his hands.

Yuan Ji Nian checked it again. To be precise, it fell on the candied haws in his hands.

"I bought this for Xiaoyan."

Pei Qian walked towards him face to face, still grabbing Xiaoyan's collar, no matter how staggering he was and how reluctant he was.

After arriving in front of him, Pei Qian let go of Xiaoyan and pushed Xiaoyan to him.

Just as Yuan Ji Nian caught Xiao Yan, he realized something had been taken from his hand.

When Yuan Ji Nian looked up, he saw Pei Qian holding the candied haws, biting off a piece of bright red candied haws in front of Xiaoyan as if showing off, and eating with relish.

Xiaoyan watched helplessly, seeing that the candied haws that belonged to him got into someone else's mouth, tears were about to flow out of grievance.

However, Pei Qian didn't mean to provoke him on purpose, he just wanted to eat it himself, but such an unintentional behavior made Xiaoyan hate him even more.

"Why does Mr. Pei like to compete with children for food?" Seeing Pei Qian eating one piece of hawthorn after another, her lips were covered with the luster of honey, and Xiaoyan's eyes became more and more moist, Yuan Ji Nian couldn't bear it. Can't stop fighting for him.

"He doesn't want to eat it, and he can't just throw it away for nothing." Pei Qian took a piece of hawthorn and said it as a matter of course.

"Okay." Yuan Jinian comforted him, "I'll go buy another bunch for Xiaoyan."

After Pei Qian heard about buying again, she suddenly raised her head as if she wanted to hear something important. As soon as she looked up, Yuan Ji Nian saw that there was still a little red skin of hawthorn on his mouth, and his face was still swollen. As he spoke, there was still a hawthorn in his mouth that he hadn't had time to swallow.

The dazed and somewhat expectant eyes paired with this dazed look is actually a bit weird...

Yuan Ji Nian shook his head, and when he noticed the empty bamboo stick in Pei Qian's hand, the little thought he had just had disappeared.

"Do you still want to eat?" Yuan Ji Nian saw that he was eating slowly, but it was only a matter of saying a word, so... just finished eating?

Pei Qian swallowed the remaining piece of hawthorn in his mouth, seeing Shang Yuan Ji Nian's surprised gaze, he turned his mouth away with some dissatisfaction: "No need."

"I really don't need it?" Looking at his expectant eyes, Yuan Ji Nian raised one corner of his lips and smiled, deliberately provoking him again, "Then don't compete with Xiao Yan."

Pei Qian probably didn't have any money with her when she came out, and he was the one who paid the bill in the restaurant.

Pei Qian swallowed, and continued to speak stiffly: "I won't do this."

Yuan Ji Nian did not argue with him, and returned to the candied haws stand.

When he came back, he had two bunches of candied haws in his hand, one for Xiaoyan and the other for Pei Qian.

Pei Qian: "No."

He said no, but his eyes seemed to be glued to the candied haws in his hand.

"Then forget it." Yuan Ji Nian no longer gave in to him, and made a gesture to give Xiao Yan the other share.

As soon as the hand was in the air, it was stopped by another hand.

As if she hadn't said what she said before, she pretended to be innocent and pulled out the candied haws from his hand, and stood aside without even looking at him.

"At least say thank you." Yuan Ji Nian looked at him, but he didn't really expect him to say it.

"I know you don't like sweets." Pei Qian bit off a piece of hawthorn.

Yuan Ji Nian: "That's not a reason."

After all, it was the cannibal's soft mouth, Xiaoyan licked a mouthful of candied haws, hesitated again and again, struggled in his heart for a while, and said: "It's Mr. Liu, he told me."

Pei Qian stopped gnawing candied haws, and looked over with eyes as bright as honey: "Your Highness, will you believe me now? Mr. Liu is Song Xizuo's work, as early as that day when his right hand was injured, His Highness should have noticed of."

"But Mr. Liu is..." It was a burn, but it is entirely possible that he deliberately burned the wound with fire in order to cover the sword wound on his right hand.

"Your Highness has no doubts in Young Master Liu. I am afraid that if Young Master Liu is here today and only says no, His Highness will think that I am lying."

Yuan Ji Nian couldn't bear Pei Qian's eccentric tone. He tried to explain, "I just..."

Pei Qian replied for him, "I just don't want to believe it."

Yuan Ji Nian was afraid that his identity would be exposed, so for the sake of safety, he couldn't say more.

He just didn't expect that so many things were done by such a gentle person.

Liu Yiwen was always by his side. It turned out that the two of them, Song Xizuo, were always together, and neither of them recognized each other.

But if you say that, Xiaoyan had doubts about his identity before, and Liu Yiwen told him these things, so how did Liu Yiwen find out that he was not Prince Zhou?

Xiaoyan ate candied haws, eyes dripping, pointed at the red marks on their necks, and asked curiously: "What is this on brother's neck?"

Yuan Jinian and Pei Qian looked at each other and turned their heads in unison.

Yuan Ji Nian: "I was bitten by a dog."

Pei Qian: "I was bitten by a dog."

Xiaoyan felt that something was wrong, he compared the height of the two of them: "Is there such a big dog?"

Yuan Ji Nian: "Maybe..."

Seeing that the other party was a little out of breath, Yuan Ji Nian didn't say any more.

Xiaoyan looked at Yuan Jinian secretly from the side, and the other hand hidden under his sleeve moved.

"Be careful." Pei Qian grabbed Xiaoyan's hand.
