CHAPTER XLIV

Ye Ci's body at this time had begun to tremble irrepressibly.

Yue Yun grabbed her hand and tried to comfort her uneasy feelings, but to no avail.

The old lady didn't seem to want the atmosphere to stalemate any longer, so she stood up and said, "Xiao Yao, you take Miss Ye down first, and talk to Master Zheng in the back kitchen, our banquet can start on time, and there is no need to postpone."

Yue Yao got the old lady's words and immediately nodded in agreement, glanced at Ye Ci, stretched out a hand, and half-bowed to signal her to go first.

Yue Yun stood in place, as if he wanted to follow, but was stopped by Yue Yao patting his shoulder, leaning on his ear and whispering: "If you really want to be with Miss Ye, grandparents must pass this level." Yue Yun, don't blame my brother for not reminding you, this little girlfriend of yours has no family background, and second, unlike that Li Xia who can read people's faces, if you don't be tough and don't do everything in advance, then even if she marries into our family, she will have to suffer. It happens that your grandparents are here today, you take advantage of this time, just make it clear to them, you should show your determination, you should give in, don't let Miss Ye be caught between our family and you, you are a man, you should be responsible."

Yue Yun listened to Yue Yao's words, and couldn't help but be silent for a moment, then nodded in agreement, frowned and walked into the house, looked at the old man who was half leaning on the head of the bed, and said in a deep voice: "Grandpa, as long as you let me marry Ye Ci, I can do anything"-

Ye Ci almost went downstairs in a trance.

Yue Yao saw that her feelings were unstable, so he specially asked Xia Xiaoji to come over and asked her to take Ye Ci to the back garden first, so as not to meet people in the main hall who should not be met, which would be even more embarrassing.

Xia Xiaoji agreed, pulled Ye Ci and walked outside, and asked as he walked: "Your name is Ye Ci?" ”

Ye Ci nodded stunned, still not wanting to speak.

Xia Xiaoji looked at her appearance, and asked with a slight "tsk": "My memory is very good, I won't be mistaken, you are obviously the woman my senior brother said last time, how did you become Xiaoyun's girlfriend today?" ”

Ye Ci didn't know why Xia Xiaoji suddenly asked like this, remembering that she said that she was Yang Fangzhai's wife before, she couldn't help but be a little puzzled, raised her head and asked lightly: "I don't have a childlike relationship with Yang Daochang, I don't know why Miss Xia said that I was your senior brother's wife before?" ”

Xia Xiaoji scratched his head and replied slightly embarrassedly: "You and my senior brother are not boyfriend and girlfriend?" Hey, how can it be, my senior brother has never been close to women, and that day I asked him if you were the person he ordained, and he obviously told me that you are you."

Ye Ci listened to her words, and became even more puzzled, frowning and asking, "Yang Daochang's destined person?" I don't understand, what does this mean? ”

Xia Xiaoji saw that Ye Ci looked ignorant, and then he knew that his senior brother hadn't had time to tell her, so he grinned and said, "Oh, it must be that the senior brother is too shy to tell you!" My senior brother, he is destined to have a wife in heaven, and the master said that this is something he decided in his previous life. Don't look at my senior brother as if he is a master of the world, in fact, he has a soul that is lost, and the one he loses is in his destined wife, now look at it, that person should be you! ”

Although Ye Ci has occasionally read some ancient myths and Taoist classics, she has not dabbled in these things in Xia Xiaoji's mouth, and she has not even heard of them.

Lowering his head, he couldn't help but ask a little dazedly: "How, how can it be, I have the missing spirit of the Dao Chief?" But, but I myself am also short-lived, when I was just born, an old Taoist priest said, saying that I will not live to be thirty years old in this life, how can a person like me have the spirit of a Taoist."

Xia Xiaoji listened to Ye Ci's words, and suddenly fell silent, tilted his head and said, "Really? Then this is strange, but Miss Ye, I didn't say you, Xiaoyun is a stinky rascal, why do you fall in love with him if you don't like him. My senior brother is good-looking, although he usually doesn't talk much, he has always been respectful and polite to people, although Xiaoyun is also good-looking, but he is a hooligan. My senior brother has great powers, and he has never been close to women, if you want to follow him, you must only be good to you, you will be very happy, although Xiaoyun has never touched the little girl's hand, but he is a hooligan."

Ye Ci's originally depressed mood got better inexplicably because of Xia Xiaoji's gag.

"Poof" laughed out loud, and said helplessly: "Miss Xia, thank you, but the matter of feelings, who can really say it clearly, I like Yue Yun, just because he is Yue Yun, just because he happens to be the person I like."

Where could Xia Xiaoji understand such emotional words.

Blinked, nodded and pretended to understand, sighed and said, "Okay, but my senior brother is really good, and besides, Xiaoyun is a hooligan."

The two of them continued to walk in the garden for a while, and they were met by two women who were also talking.

Ye Ci looked up and found that it was Li Xia and Liu Xinran, and there was Yue Lingling behind him.

Yue Lingling may have said a few words to Ye Ci before, and she had a good impression of her, and when she saw her, she immediately ran up and shouted: "Sister Ye, second aunt."

Xia Xiaoji pinched her face and asked her, "What are you doing here?" ”

Yue Lingling replied with her little head held high: "I just came from the back kitchen, and Master Zheng made a good fragrant rose candy, I secretly tasted a little."

Xia Xiaoji's eyes lit up when he heard that there was something delicious, and he asked secretly: "Eh, is there still that candy?" ”

Yue Lingling nodded and said, "Yes, but it's not much, I want to keep it for the guests to eat." Second aunt, you don't want to steal food, the second uncle will scold you! ”

Xia Xiaoji rolled his eyes and shouted righteously: "Your second uncle, he dares to scold me?!" Let me tell you, your second uncle saw me like a mouse seeing a cat, and he didn't dare to speak at all! ”

Yue Lingling coped helplessly: "Okay, second aunt, you are the most powerful, and you are the most powerful in the world."

Xia Xiaoji really took it seriously, "hummed", turned his head to look at Ye Ci and said, "Miss Ye, it just so happens that Miss Liu and Xiao Li are here, I think the banquet is about to start, why don't you follow them back to the house first." Me, I suddenly remembered that there was something to deal with here, and I would come when I went."

Of course, Ye Ci knew that Xia Xiaoji was hungry, and he was in a hurry to go to the back kitchen to find candy to eat, and he didn't break it, but just nodded and agreed, "Okay".

Li Xia and Liu Xinran still didn't want to see Ye Ci, and Ye Ci didn't bother to deal with them, but when they saw Yue Lingling coming up to pull their hands, they naturally handed them over and pulled her to the other side of the house.

Yue Lingling looked at her and liked Ye Ci, took her hand, and asked softly: "Sister Ye, if you marry your little uncle in the future, will your little uncle often come back to see me at home?" ”

Ye Ci knew that although Yue Lingling looked a little arrogant, she was actually a little girl who wanted to be cared for by her family, not to mention that her father died early, and her mother was busy with work, so she could only live with her old-fashioned grandfather and grandmother on weekdays.

Ye Ci tilted his head to look at her, and whispered to her: "Even if my sister doesn't marry my little uncle, my sister will often tell my little uncle and let him go home to see you more."

When Yue Lingling heard this, she almost jumped up with joy and shouted, "Really? I knew that the little uncle must listen to Sister Ye, really, I have never seen the little uncle so obedient to any woman! ”

Ye Ci corrected with a smile: "This word is called obedience." But your little uncle, he, is not obedient to his sister. As for your little uncle, he actually likes Lingling very much, but because he is usually busy with work, he doesn't have time to come back to see Lingling. Really, Uncle Xiao misses Lingling very much outside."

Yue Lingling listened to Ye Ci's words, suddenly stopped, hugged her thighs, and looked up at Ye Ci with a pair of big watery eyes.

Seeing her stop, Ye Ci also looked down at her, touched her little head and asked, "What's wrong with Lingling?" ”

Yue Lingling shook her head and didn't speak, just hugged Ye Ci's thighs, and after a long time, she took out a small piece of red wrapped in plastic wrap from her pocket, handed it over, and said, "Give it, give it to you."

Ye Ci thought, this thing should be the particularly delicious "rose candy" in Yue Lingling's mouth, squatted down and took the candy in her hand, and asked with a smile, "Is this for me?" ”

Yue Lingling nodded, as if she was still a little shy, and whispered with some trepidation: "Others say that there are good things to know how to share." Sister Ye, I'll give you my favorite candy, and you will often ask your little uncle to come back to see me in the future, okay."

Ye Ci saw that although she said that she wanted to give the candy to herself, her hands were still tight, and she looked like she was in pain. I couldn't help laughing for a while, opened the plastic wrap wrapped in sugar cubes, broke half of it and handed it to Yue Lingling, and told her with a smile: "Sister doesn't like to eat sweets, but although my sister didn't eat this piece of candy, my sister will still promise you, and in the future, I will often let my little uncle come back to accompany you." This piece of candy is a bit big, and if you eat it all, you will definitely not eat. My sister will break half of it for you first, and you will eat it instead of your sister, even if we make an agreement between us, okay."

Yue Lingling's eyes lit up when she saw Ye Ci say this, nodded heavily, took the sugar in her hand, swallowed it in one bite, and said with a smile: "Sister Ye, you are so good!" ”

Ye Ci looked at Yue Lingling's smiling face, and couldn't help but feel warm in her heart.

How simple the child's world is, if you treat her well, she will be able to get close to you naturally.

They don't have any interests to consider, just simply talk to their own hearts, even if they have any dissatisfaction or prejudice against you, it doesn't matter, a piece of candy, a few words of heartwarming, comfort, maybe can completely erase the previous disagreement.

After all, they are just a group of children who have not grown up yet, but they need someone to accompany them.

Ye Ci waited for Yue Lingling to finish eating the candy before standing up again, patting her head and continuing to walk forward with her.

Yue Lingling happily jumped up and down beside her, pointing to the uncle on the side and saying, "This was brought back from the United States by the second uncle", and then pointing to the flower garden on the side and saying, "That one was grafted by grandma herself."

Ye Ci also felt interesting when he heard it, it was like seeing the world with a child's eyes, and he turned around and wanted to ask, but suddenly saw Yue Lingling stop.

walked up and asked, "Lingling, why don't you leave?" ”

Yue Lingling raised her head, causing Ye Ci to be shocked in place.

I saw that Yue Lingling's originally white and pure little face was like poisoning at the moment, her facial features were dripping with blood wantonly, and she shouted pitifully while shedding: "Sister Ye, I hurt."
