Chapter 480 Admiration
"Chen'er has met Uncle."
Chen Ji and Luo Xiaoran both had a lot of things they wanted to say to each other, but neither of them spoke first. They just stared at each other intently.
——It was as if he wanted to make up for the three years of not seeing each other all at once.
Finally, it was Chen Xingchen who broke the silence. A large group of people standing in silence at the city gate was not a big deal, right?
A hint of annoyance flashed across Chen Ji's eyes. He glanced sideways at Chen Xingchen and snorted in his heart.
You little bastard, you did it on purpose!
Chen Xingchen did it on purpose. His uncle had asked him if he wanted to know about his own background, and had repeatedly hinted to him not to come to Kyoto, which almost caused him and his sister to miss each other. He still remembered it all!
snort!
My sister is such a rare woman in the world. Even if my uncle is the King of Yan, in his heart... she is not worthy of him!
After picking up the person, I naturally hurried back to my residence to rest. It was really not a good idea to stay at the city gate.
Chen Ji has a mansion in Kyoto, which is the Prince of Yan's Mansion with a plaque personally bestowed by Emperor Huizong. It is impossible for him to live in the Prince of An's Mansion like Luo Xiaoran.
Luo Xiaoran and Chen Ji are getting married soon, so it is obviously inappropriate for her to live in Prince Yan's Mansion now. She has no choice but to let Chen Xingchen, that bad boy, live with her in Prince An's Mansion!
Chen Xingchen suddenly felt a chill running through his body. He looked up and saw Chen Ji looking at him coldly with an unfriendly expression. He immediately understood something.
"Sister, after sending Uncle back to Prince Yan's Mansion, when will we go home?"
In the carriage, Chen Xingchen was still the first to speak and break the silence, but he emphasized the last word "home" especially.
Seeing Chen Ji's face become even gloomier, Chen Xingchen suddenly felt refreshed and had a sense of pride. What was going on?
Luo Xiaoran vaguely sensed the undercurrent between the two of them, and she asked calmly:
"Chen'er has lived in the Prince of Yan's Mansion in Yizhou, but has never been to the Prince of Yan's Mansion in Kyoto! Don't you want to take a look?"
Chen Xingchen raised the corner of his mouth, "Sister, Emperor Tianqi once said that Chen'er's Prince An's Mansion is the largest palace in Kyoto."
What he meant was that his own mansion was already the biggest and best, so naturally he would not have much interest in other people's mansions.
Luo Xiaoran: “…” What he said seemed to make some sense.
"You should change your tune, too."
Finally, Chen Ji didn't want to endure it any longer. He lowered his head and looked at Chen Xingchen, his dark eyes flashing with a creepy luster.
Chen Xingchen showed no sign of fear and said, "Hello, brother-in-law."
"Cough, cough, cough!"
The tea that Luo Xiaoran had just taken a sip of sprayed out. Fortunately, Chen Ji, who was sitting opposite her, dodged in time, otherwise he would have to wash his face in the carriage.
Good job, Chen'er, you lowered Chen Ji's generation level so much right at the first word. You have... courage!
Sister silently gives you a thumbs up in her heart!
Chen Ji's face turned completely dark, especially when he saw Luo Xiaoran's eyes were all on Chen Xingchen, with a smile on her face.
Unexpectedly, the next moment, Chen Xingchen's voice rang out again:
"Isn't what Chen'er said wrong? Chen'er met the elder sister first, and the great uncle later."
"According to the chronological order, the elder sister should be the priority. The elder sister's husband is Chen'er's brother-in-law!"
"Could it be..." Chen Xingchen blinked his innocent eyes and looked at Luo Xiaoran, "Do I have to call my sister 'aunt' from now on?"
Luo Xiaoran: "..." Damn! She refused this title.
On one side was the young man whom she had raised with great effort, and on the other side was Chen Ji's handsome face with weathered features. Luo Xiaoran was unable to make any response from the standpoint of a referee in the contest between the two.
But four burning gazes were all cast on her, making her feel very uncomfortable.
Luo Xiaoran bit her lip and clenched her fists secretly. She knew that she could not stay out of this!
"Then let's talk about our own affairs. Chen'er will call me sister and Chen Ji uncle. That's it!"
She spoke in a very quick tone, and without even looking at the reactions of the two, she lifted the curtain and looked outside.
Hmm~~ Today's market is really lively~~ Haha~~ Just as lively as usual~~
……
When they arrived at Prince Yan's Mansion, Chen Ji went to take a bath and change his clothes first, while Luo Xiaoran went to the kitchen, intending to cook for him herself.
Naturally, the follower Chen Xingchen also came to the kitchen. As soon as he came in, he started helping his sister with ease. How could he be like the noble and even somewhat spoiled Prince An outside?
"Sister," Chen Xingchen asked a question she had always wanted to ask while washing the ingredients.
"Do you really want to marry your uncle?"
When Chen Xingchen first came to Kyoto and met Luo Xiaoran, he was extremely happy because he could continue to live with his sister, just like they did before in Hexi Village.
However, his good mood came to an abrupt end when he heard that his sister was about to become the Princess of Yan.
If his memory is correct, his great uncle’s title... seems to be "Yan", right?
Could it be that the person my sister is going to marry is my uncle?
After verifying the news with Wei An, Chen Xingchen was shocked.
For him, this news was like a bolt of thunder, both sudden and difficult to accept.
For some time, he kept thinking about this matter, but he couldn't figure it out.
He couldn't understand how his sister, such a beautiful, outstanding and omnipotent person, could get married after just a few months of not seeing her.
Moreover, his sister's future husband is his great uncle, the King of Yan!
In the eyes of little Chen Xingchen, this is simply "an old cow eating young grass"!
For a long time afterwards, he did not notice any displeasure on his sister's face, nor did he find any signs that his sister was being coerced. Chen Xingchen finally understood -
As for marrying his great-uncle, his sister at least... did not object, but he wanted to know whether his sister was willing to this marriage from the bottom of her heart?
"Sister, did you marry your uncle because you truly admired him?" he asked again.
Luo Xiaoran was stunned for a moment, and glanced at Chen Xingchen in surprise. Seeing the serious look on the young boy's face, she forced herself to hold back the words "Children should not ask about adult matters."
She lowered her eyes and thought seriously. After all, the word "admiration" was not light and it was not something that could be spoken out easily.
Admiration, admiration, love, how deep is it!
The past scenes with Chen Ji flashed through her mind, and Luo Xiaoran was also examining her own heart bit by bit.
After a long while, she said in a very calm tone:
"If I have to join hands with one person in this world, my choice would be Chen Ji."
At the same time, a dirty guy outside the kitchen door couldn't help but curl up the corners of his lips, and ripples appeared in his calm eyes.
Bath water had already been prepared in the room, so Chen Ji could take a bath immediately when he entered the mansion. However, when he felt himself in such a miserable state, Xiao Ran's gaze lingered on him more than usual.
Therefore, he planned to stay like this until Xiao Ran left Prince Yan's Mansion, and he couldn't wait to go to the kitchen to look for Xiao Ran, but he didn't expect to hear such a conversation.
——It can be said to be an absolute... pleasant surprise.
