Xuan Jiu was cleaning up the tea cups that he had knocked down during the quarrel with Ning Chengyuan. When he heard the noise and looked up, he put down what he was doing and glanced at Ning Chengyuan who was talking to him with a straight face. She didn't argue with him at this moment, and nodded to Xu Cenran to say hello.
Before Xu Cenran could speak, Ning Chengyuan introduced Xu Cenran: "This is your sister-in-law."
Xu Cenran: "..."
Xuan Jiu opened his eyes wide and glared at Ning Chengyuan with shame and annoyance. He wanted to curse, but when he realized that Xu Cenran was still here, he had to suppress the anger in his heart, calm down and talk to Xu Cenran. Cen Ran said: "Don't listen to his nonsense, just call me by my name."
But Xu Cenran still politely called him "Brother Xuan Jiu".
Xu Cenran was called here by his parents this time, and he came here on behalf of the Xu family to pay homage to Ning's father who passed away.
In previous years, Xu Cenran's parents came here in person, but this time the weather was too cold. Xu Cenran didn't want his parents to have to travel hard, so he came over in person.
This time he finally met the person Ning Chengyuan had fallen in love with for so many years, Xuan Jiu. After meeting Xuan Jiu himself, Xu Cenran seemed to be able to understand his cousin.
Xuan Jiu was indeed a king in terms of appearance and temperament. Previously, he thought that Xuan Jiu was lucky enough to meet such a doting person as Ning Chengyuan, but now it seems that Ning Chengyuan's side Having such a person by his side for the rest of his life would obviously make Ning Cheng's life better.
Because he knew that Xu Cenran was coming, Xuan Jiu had his servants prepare meals early. During the meal, the atmosphere was obviously much better than when Ning Chengyuan and Xuan Jiu were quarreling together.
Ning Chengyuan was obsessed with saving face and had to pretend to be affectionate in front of Xu Cenran. Even if Xuan Jiu ignored him at all, he still wanted to show it to Xu Cenran.
But Xuan Jiu was too lazy to respond to him, and had no intention of reconciling with him.
But seeing Xu Cenran's calm expression, as if he hadn't been tortured by either of them, Ning Chengyuan took the opportunity to pour him wine and asked casually: "Why haven't you married a wife yet?"
Xu Cenran paused slightly while sipping his wine and said, "I'm not in a hurry."
"Tsk, how old are you this year?"
Xu Cenran answered naturally: "Twenty-two."
Ning Chengyuan raised his eyebrows and prodded him: "I have a nineteen-year-old nephew. If nothing else happens, I will be able to drink their wedding wine after the Chinese New Year."
But Xu Cenran didn't look stimulated at all, he just said "oh" lightly.
Seeing this, Ning Chengyuan glared at him with hatred and said, "You have a very bad attitude!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Xuan Jiu put down the bowl and chopsticks, raised his eyes and glanced at him lightly. Ning Chengyuan was caught by his cold eyes and immediately shut up.
Xuan Jiu said to Xu Cenran: "You can take control of your feelings yourself. Don't listen to your cousin's nonsense."
Xu Cenran nodded in approval and said, "Brother Xuan Jiu is right."
After the meal, Ning Chengyuan originally wanted to take Xu Cenran out for a walk, but Xu Cenran didn't agree. He just said that he was tired after a long day's journey and would talk about it tomorrow.
Therefore, Ning Chengyuan asked people to arrange a courtyard for Xu Cenran to live in.
When he returned, the palace door was closed, and Xuan Jiu was obviously still angry and refused to let him in.
