"Is your acquaintance a woman?" Xia Yuanqiu asked directly.
Zhu Yan looked slightly embarrassed and nodded slightly.
Xia Yuanqiu raised her eyebrows slightly and asked again: "Old lover?"
Zhu Yan quickly waved his hand: "No, no, no, it's definitely not what you think. I have nothing to do with her."
"Since there is no relationship, why don't you want to meet her?" Xia Yuanqiu pressed.
Seeing that Xia Yuanqiu was not going to let him go, Zhu Yan simply told him everything to avoid misunderstandings in the future.
"She is the granddaughter of my grandmother's sister. I met her several times in the Jiang tribe when I was a child. At that time, my grandmother and her grandmother were joking and said that they would make a pair for us. I was young at the time and didn't know what it meant to make a pair. I thought it was just for people. After playing together, I happily agreed and was very happy. Later, when I got older, I realized the meaning of getting a pair, so I deliberately distanced myself from her, but she seemed to recognize our childhood joke and kept clamoring for it. Marry me. You also know that you and I have been engaged since we were young. Even though you disappeared in those years, my engagement with you has never been annulled. I only regard her as my sister and have never had any trouble with her. thought."
Xia Yuanqiu half-smiled and said, "I don't know what your thoughts are, but that girl has a deep affection for you. She is not young now. Is it possible that she is still single and waiting for you?"
Zhu Yan frowned, shook his head and said, "I don't know that either. I haven't read the letters she wrote to me in these years, and I don't know how she is doing."
Xia Yuanqiu said: "Perhaps she has already found another groom, but you are still here to act on your own."
Zhu Yan said hurriedly: "This is best. I don't want to see her because I am afraid that she is not yet married. If we meet, it will appear that I have delayed her and I will not feel guilty."
Xia Yuanqiu hummed: "Since there is a feeling of guilt, it proves that you have thought about her. Otherwise, why do you have this feeling of guilt?"
Seeing Xia Yuanqiu's serious face, Zhu Yan was afraid that she would really misunderstand her, so he hurriedly swore to the sky and solemnly said: "I, Zhu Yan, have always only had a brother-sister relationship with her. If I have any other thoughts about her, I will be struck by lightning from the sky. "Yuan Qiu is the first girl he fell in love with, and also the last one. He only has Yuan Qiu in his heart, and he can no longer tolerate anyone else, let alone the slightest trace of the relationship between him and Yuan Qiu. Impurities.
How could Xia Yuanqiu not know Zhu Yan's thoughts and whether one person was sincere to another? How could a little fairy like her, who had lived two lives, not be able to see that Zhu Yan was devoted to her wholeheartedly? He just wanted to tease him. Seeing his nervous look, she burst into laughter.
Han Niang was someone who had come before, and she could see Xia Yuanqiu's evil idea at a glance. Seeing that Zhu Yan was really worried and couldn't stand it any longer, she stepped forward and said: "Your Highness, the Crown Prince, is so smart, how could he not even see through a woman's little thoughts?" Come out? Sister Yuanqiu is teasing you, look at how nervous you are, your palms are all sweaty!"
Zhu Yan looked at Yuan Qiu's face again and saw a sly smile in her beautiful eyes. He felt relieved at first, then glared at Xia Yuanqiu, leaned forward and whispered: "You little goblin, Let’s see how my husband handles you tonight.”
Xia Yuanqiu glanced at him delicately and muttered: "It's still unclear who will deal with it, but don't say harsh words so quickly."
Zhu Yan laughed happily. For him, no matter who dealt with whom, it was a great blessing to him.
