The Regent's Little Wife

Yuan Qi was reading a book in his study room when he heard footsteps at the door. He looked up and was surprised to find Rumeng standing quietly at the door of his study room, with a dazed look in her eyes, as if she was worried. Yuan Qi frowned and asked with concern, "Rumeng, why are you standing at the door? Come in and tell me what's going on!"

Si Ning said with some uneasiness in her heart: "No need, big brother, I just came to congratulate you. You and Miss Lin are indeed a match made in heaven. The sect leader and the most beautiful woman sound like a good match." Her voice trembled slightly, and seemed to hide a hint of bitterness.

Yuan Qi frowned, not quite understanding why Ru Meng said that. His eyes fell on Si Ning, trying to find the answer from her expression.

Si Ning continued, "Brother, you don't have to say more. There is one more thing. Yuan Yi and I are in love with each other. He explained the reason to me, and I agreed. I don't want to let him down and want to be with him." Her eyes were firm and resolute, as if she had already made a decision.

Suddenly, Yuan Qi rushed to Si Ning, grabbed Si Ning's arm and said loudly: "No matter what you say, I don't agree!" His voice was full of anxiety and anger.

Si Ning was startled and looked up and asked in confusion, "Why?" Her eyes revealed confusion and bewilderment.

Yuan Qi held Si Ning's hand tightly, and his breathing became rapid. He looked at Si Ning in front of him, his heart filled with complicated emotions. He didn't know how to explain all this, and could only mutter to himself: "Because... because..."

Si Ning looked at Yuan Qi quietly, waiting for his answer. Her eyes were shining with expectation and hope, but also a hint of loss.

Yuan Qi finally came to his senses. He realized that he was too emotional, so he let go of Si Ning's hand. He took a deep breath, tried to calm down, and then said to Si Ning: "You are still in a state of amnesia. No one knows what will happen in the future, so I can't let you be with Yuan Yi now."

Si Ning smiled bitterly: "So this is how you think of me. That's right, I'm just a stranger with unknown origins and a burden." Her voice was filled with endless sadness and disappointment, as if the whole world had become dark and dim.

Yuan Qi watched Si Ning turn and leave, his heart filled with regret and self-blame. He hurriedly chased after her, wanting to explain clearly, but Si Ning ran faster and didn't give him any chance.

After Si Ning ran out of Yuan Qi's room, tears burst out like a dam. She wiped her tears while running, trying to make herself look stronger. When she ran to the end of the corridor, she suddenly bumped into someone.

Si Ning raised his head and saw Yuan Yi standing in front of him, his eyes full of concern and worry. Yuan Yi noticed the tears on Si Ning's face, frowned, and asked softly: "Rumeng, why are you crying? Did someone bully you? Tell me who it was, and I will help you vent your anger!"

Si Ning didn't want others to know the pain in her heart. She turned her back and said, holding back tears: "I'm fine. I just got sand in my eyes. Thank you for caring about me. I'm much better now."

Yuan Yi felt bad when he saw Si Ning so sad. He patted Si Ning's shoulder gently and comforted her: "Rumeng, if you encounter any difficulties or need help, please tell me. Although I may not be good at comforting people, I will try my best to help you. I will always be by your side."

Si Ning nodded slightly to express her gratitude. Yuan Yi watched her back disappear around the corner of the corridor, and secretly vowed to protect this girl and not let anyone hurt her. At the same time, he also hoped to find a way to make Si Ning happy again.

The night was as dark as ink, and Si Ning's eyes looked blurred in the dimness. She whispered softly, as if she was talking to herself: "Why is this companionship so unforgettable? It seems that at some moment in the past, someone had made the same promise to me so affectionately."

Although her voice was soft, it was particularly clear in the quiet night. Unfortunately, Yuan Yi on the side did not catch this delicate emotional fluctuation.

He looked at Si Ning with concern, mistakenly thinking that she had discovered something, and asked softly: "Rumeng, did you remember anything important?"

Si Ning shook his head slightly, with a look of helplessness and confusion between his brows: "I tried to find the answer in the fragments of memory, but it was like looking for a speck of dust in the vast ocean. I have no clue."

Yuan Yi felt pity for you when he saw this. He comforted her gently, "Since the memories are unwilling to show up for the time being, let's not force it. I know a place with great scenery that will surely dispel the haze in your heart and make you smile again."

Hearing this, Si Ning's eyes flashed with gratitude. She nodded gently, her voice choking with sobs: "Yuan Yi, you are always so considerate and thoughtful, which makes my heart full of warmth. Thank you for your company and care all the time."

Yuan Yi blushed when she heard that, and quickly waved her hands, "Of course not. Rumeng, you are so gentle and lovely that anyone who sees you will feel pity for you. Let's set off now and let this beautiful night become our common memory."

As he spoke, he naturally took Si Ning's hand, and the two walked out of the yard together, leaving behind a string of laughter echoing in the night sky.

At the same time, there was a knock on Lin Qianqian's door, breaking the tranquility of the night. Yuan Qi stood outside the door with a serious expression, his eyes flashing with complex emotions.

When Lin Qianqian opened the door and saw that it was Yuan Qi, a bright smile immediately broke out on her face: "Brother Qi, why are you here so late? Come in and sit down, the night wind outside is too cold." As she spoke, she welcomed Yuan Qi into the house and prepared to pour him a cup of hot tea to drive away the cold.

However, Yuan Qi didn't seem to care about this. He asked solemnly, "Qianqian, I noticed that you and Rumeng have been very close recently. Have you said anything that may have caused him to misunderstand?"

Hearing this, Lin Qianqian's face flashed with surprise: "Misunderstanding? I only visit him occasionally, and I haven't said anything that might cause misunderstanding. Did I do something wrong and make her unhappy?"

Yuan Qi sighed and continued, "He didn't blame you. Instead, he said that you cared about her. But what I don't understand is why he suddenly thought that we were engaged. This is undoubtedly a heavy blow to her."

Lin Qianqian felt mixed emotions when she heard this. She pretended to be aggrieved and said softly, "Perhaps he knew that my father came to Lingyun Sect to propose marriage, which led to his misunderstanding. Is Sister Rumeng jealous of me? I wanted to stop my father, but you know his character. Once he makes a decision, no one can change it. Now I have made Sister Rumeng unhappy. I am really sorry."

Yuan Qi frowned upon hearing this, and was obviously troubled by this misunderstanding: "Ru Meng is not a petty person, but her health is worrying. I really don't want this misunderstanding to bring her any more harm. We must find a solution as soon as possible."

Lin Qianqian looked at Yuan Qi's anxious expression, and her heart could not help but ripple. She secretly wondered, what kind of charm did Ru Meng have that could attract the two sons of the Yuan family? She couldn't help but ask tentatively: "Brother Qi, don't you think Ru Meng is a little too dependent on you? She seems to regard you as her only support."
