Ning Dao Covered with Snow

Chapter 167 Let nature take its course
When Yan Ciwan suffered from the attack of soul-leaving syndrome, he saw Mengdie Villa burned into ruins, and the detectives carried out eleven charred corpses from the ruins.

Later, she tried her best to find the truth in order to prevent the tragedy from happening.

But in the end, many people died one after another.

The only thing to be thankful for is that Ye Lingge and Fu Xue survived.

When Yan Ciwan walked out of Wanxiangyuan, he thought that his work was not in vain.

She saw a familiar tall figure standing not far away, it was Xiao Wang!

He was wearing a black cloak with white cranes embroidered on it, and he stood quietly in the snow. The wind was cold, but his eyes and brows were full of warmth.

Yan Ciwan walked towards him quickly and asked, "Why are you here?"

Xiao Wang said in a gentle voice: "When Uncle Jiu and I returned to Shaoguangyuan, I heard that you wanted to see me for something, so I went out to look for you."

"Let's go back first. We have to leave the villa quickly."

Xiao Wang walked back with her and asked, "Why are you in such a hurry to leave?"

Yan Ciwan told him about the confiscation of his residence. She said, "I don't know what Si Buping is thinking. In order to avoid trouble, the best strategy is to run away."

Xiao Wang had long seen that Si Buping had unusual feelings for Yan Ciwan, but because he had no solid evidence, he couldn't say it out loud and could only remind him tactfully.

"Although Si Buping has been castrated, it doesn't mean that he has no thoughts about matters between men and women."

Yan Ciwan was stunned. Because Si Buping was not a normal man, she didn't think about the relationship between men and women at all.

She said doubtfully, "But I've only met him a few times."

"Sometimes, falling in love only takes a moment, and it doesn't take a long time to get along with each other."

When Xiao Wang said this, his eyes became particularly deep and focused.

Although Yan Ciwan was engaged to the prince, she had never really developed sexual desire for anyone and her experience in matters between men and women was completely blank.

Facing Xiao Wang's gaze at this moment, Yan Ciwan felt inexplicably nervous.

She looked forward and said as she walked: "This is just our guess."

Xiao Wang understood what she meant, and he said, "Don't worry, I'm just talking to you in private, I won't say a word to anyone else."

He slightly emphasized the word "external".

The implication is that they are one family, inside to her and outside to others.

Yan Ciwan lowered his head and walked forward.

She wanted to pretend that she understood nothing and just muddle through.

But this is not her style.

Finally she stopped, turned to look at Xiao Wang and said seriously.

"I'm already engaged to someone else."

Xiao Wang lowered his eyes and responded softly: "Yeah."

When Yan Ciwan saw his reaction, she felt a little bit reluctant. She didn't want to disappoint him and make him sad, but matters of the heart cannot be delayed. She had to cut the Gordian knot quickly, otherwise it would be unfair to everyone.

She took a deep breath, took off her scarf and gloves, and handed them back.

"Thank you for lending me your scarf and gloves. Now that I don't feel cold anymore, it's time to return them to you."

Xiao Wang did not reach out to take it. He said, "This is a gift for you, not a loan."

Yan Ciwan said seriously: "You and I are just ordinary friends, we shouldn't give anything to each other privately."

"Since we are friends, what's wrong with giving each other gifts?"

Yan Ciwan had no choice but to speak frankly: "If you bought this scarf and gloves for me, I would have no problem accepting them, but they were sewed by you stitch by stitch, so they represent a different meaning."

"As long as you don't think too much, they are no different from those bought outside." Yan Ciwan looked at him steadily: "Xiao Liulang, this is not something you would say."

Xiao Wang was naturally very clear that he was trying to cover up his own mistakes and was a very foolish act.

He avoided the other person's gaze and looked away, whispering, "I can't take back the gift I gave you. If you don't like it, you can just throw it away."

Yan Ciwan naturally couldn't throw them away, so she could only hold the scarf and gloves in her hands and continue walking forward.

The emperor's word is his bond, and the engagement between her and the prince cannot be cancelled, which means that there is no possibility for her to be with Xiao Wang. The most important thing she should do now is to part ways with Xiao Wang immediately and never see him again.

But she suffers from soul-leaving syndrome, which could flare up at any time, and only Xiao Wang's piano music can summon her soul back.

Therefore, she couldn't separate from Xiao Wang.

Since it is destined that the two of them are inseparable, let it be.

If they are really destined to be together, they will naturally be able to go to the end. If not, then they should just live their own lives.

After figuring everything out, all the worries in Yan Ciwan's heart disappeared.

She relaxed and asked Xiao Wang, "I heard that you and Uncle Jiu went treasure hunting?"

Xiao Wang was originally still feeling sad. He kept pestering her even though he knew that she had a fiancé. She would definitely think that he was a low-brow villain and would not treat him well in the future.

However, he didn't expect that she would suddenly talk to him. From the look of her, it seemed that she didn't take what happened just now to heart, which surprised Xiao Wang.

But he soon realized that the other party had to continue to associate with him because he needed his help to summon the soul.

At this moment, Xiao Wang felt very fortunate that he played an irreplaceable and important role for her.

Xiao Wang immediately replied, "Uncle Jiu is very interested in the Buddhist treasures of Lingdie Temple, but he searched the whole villa and couldn't find any trace of the Buddhist treasures. I have asked him to go back first."

Yan Ciwan thought of the red purse hidden in her arms and asked.

"Do you want to see the legendary Buddha treasure?"

Xiao Wang said slowly: "Rumors are just rumors after all, they can't be taken seriously. The Buddha treasure may not exist at all."

"No matter if it exists or not, just tell me, do you want to see the Buddha treasure?"

Xiao Wang answered truthfully: "If there really is a Buddha treasure, I would naturally like to see it. This way I can broaden my horizons."

Yan Ciwan suddenly smiled slyly.

Xiao Wang saw that she was smiling like a little fox, very cute, and couldn't help but look at her twice more.

I really want to draw her current appearance, and then hide it away to admire it secretly.

Yan Ci Wan looked around and made sure that there was no one around. She stopped, tucked her scarf and gloves under her armpits, and then took out a red purse from her bosom.

She said mysteriously, "Let me show you this."

Xiao Wang took the red purse, opened it and took out a Buddha amulet carved from warm jade.

Yan Ciwan smiled smugly and said, "You definitely don't know what this is."

Xiao Wang clenched the jade token, looked up at her, and his expression was extremely solemn.

"How did you get this amulet?"

Yan Ciwan teased him deliberately: "Guess."

Xiao Wang emphasized: "Tell me quickly."

Yan Ci Wan noticed that his mood was different, so he had to put away his joking intention and told the truth.

"It was given to me by Lingniang before she left. She said it was the Buddha treasure of Lingdie Temple."

Xiao Wang frowned deeply and murmured in a low voice: "How can this be a Buddhist treasure?"
