However, she would quickly apologize obediently and say that she was sorry. She would even ask for hugs and kisses.
This was what young Lu Zhichen had told Xing Jiuan in the past.
"You're a girl. I'm a boy. No."
The little girl, who was four or five years old, did not know anything. She only felt that her brother's face was white and soft like milk pudding. It must be very delicious.
Since her brother said no, she would only hug him.
Master had also said that she was not allowed to give kisses at random. She was also not allowed to let anyone kiss her.
In order to nurture little Xing Jiuan's concept of men and women, the most intimate thing her senior brothers and Master had done to her was to hug her.
Only her senior sisters had the right to kiss her and be kissed.
It was just that this little girl was too fond of Brother Jiunan.
When he thought of Xing Jiuan when she was young, Lu Zhichen's gaze softened.
At this moment, Xing Jiuan and the little girl from when they were young seemed to have reunited. Lu Zhichen laughed in his heart when he saw the little girl once again when she had done something wrong.
However, his expression on the surface did not change.
He inched closer toward her.
"I've kept that promise for a long time."
He was not lying.
Although this matter had been forgotten, he had indeed remembered the little girl for more than ten years.
Moreover, he had never thought about being with anyone else.
"How can you take what we said when we were young seriously?"
Xing Jiuan felt that she was being very reasonable, but she just didn't have the confidence.
Lu Zhichen moved closer and she leaned back.
The sofa was only so big. She couldn't run anywhere.
The omnipotent Xing Jiuan was suddenly in a predicament.
"I told Master that the engagement has been broken off. Why don't you return this red string to me?"
"You know why."
Xing Jiuan could not deal with Lu Zhichen.
Lu Zhichen's words confused her.
She was utterly stunned by him.
Senior Brother said that Lu Zhichen was scheming, but she did not feel that way. It was just that… she was indeed not his match.
Lu Zhichen retreated back. "No."
Xing Jiuan remained silent at that.
She could not get angry.
It was strange to see Lu Zhichen acting like a rogue.
"I'm just troubled.
"You treat me well for no reason.
"What you've said is very strange and distant to me.
"We are not from the same world."
Xing Jiuan tried to reason with him.
Xing Jiuan, who always did whatever she wanted, was a little devil. At this moment, her dry behavior in trying to reason with him made Lu Zhichen want to laugh.
If only she was not trying to urge him to cancel their engagement.
"You haven't remembered me yet. That's unfair to me," Lu Zhichen said.
"If you still stick by this answer after your twentieth birthday, I will take back the jade pendant, and you can have the red string back. I will only treat you as my little sister from then on, okay?"
Lu Zhichen did not want to force Xing Jiuan, nor did he want the young lady to be troubled by this matter.
But this was not what he wanted.
"Don't take it to heart. You're supposed to be free.
"I will not interfere with your every move.
"Jiuan, my hopes for you are still the same as this name.
"Jiuan, live well for a long time."
…
Lu Zhichen left quickly after that.
Xing Jiuan sat on the spot and did not move.
Xing Jiuan was a little embarrassed by how she behaved earlier.
A few words from Lu Zhichen had completely stunned her.
Mu Qing walked in.
"Jiuan."
Xing Jiuan stood up. "Senior Brother, what's wrong?"
Mu Qing took a closer look at Xing Jiuan's expression and saw that there was nothing unusual. He then said, "Qi Lei is awake."
Xing Jiuan began to walk quickly. "Senior Brother, I'll go see him."
Mu Qing wanted to say something, but he did not bring it up.
