Quickly wear the Lord God's tender and sweet pet

As soon as Ruan Xingmian came in, he saw the father and daughter chatting as if no one was around, and teased, "What are you talking about? You look so happy?"

Su Zhi and Su Cibai heard the voice and tilted their heads to look at the woman at the door. Su Cibai saw that it was his wife, so he quickly stood up and gave up the chair to her. He said in a servile manner: "Mianmian, please sit down quickly." He asked worriedly, "Why did you come here when it's so cold?"

Ruan Xingmian raised her eyebrows: "Can't I come over yet?" Then she sat down on the chair. Seeing this, Su Cibai stretched out his hand to massage her shoulders, saying in a flattering tone: "Yes, of course not."

He went on to say, “It’s so cold outside, isn’t this reassuring to me?”

Ruan Xingmian glanced at him from the side and said angrily, "I'm already an adult, how can I not take care of myself?"

"That doesn't stop me from worrying about you." Su Cibai leaned close to her ear and whispered. Ruan Xingmian's ear tip was burned red by the hot air he exhaled. She said coquettishly, "You are so frivolous. The child is still here."

Seeing her parents being affectionate with each other, Su Zhi quickly said, "I'm not here! You guys continue." Then she left.

Ruan Xingmian's worried voice was heard from the bedroom: "Don't run so fast, be careful." Su Zhi responded without caring whether the people inside heard it or not. After a while, the person disappeared.

Qi Yuli was sitting in the pavilion, a white velvet coat softening his sharp face.

In front of him was a dead chess game. His slender white hands held the white pieces, trying to crack the game. His brows were tightly furrowed, and his eyes were staring straight at the chessboard in front of him.

After a long time, his handsome brows relaxed and the chess piece was placed where it should be.

The complicated chessboard in front of him was easily solved by Qi Yuli with his tricky technique. He raised his lips and looked very satisfied.

Qi Yuli was still staring at the chessboard when he was covered by a dark shadow. He raised his eyes and saw Su Zhi.

After Su Zhi left Su Cibai's place, she went to the Water Diversion Hall. Not seeing any familiar figures, she went straight to the Imperial Garden. She knew he would definitely be there.

Su Zhi bent over and sat on the stone bench, raised her arm and rested it on the stone table, gently supporting her cheek with her hand, her eyes stayed on Qi Yuli, her mouth pouted high, and her voice was full of complaints: "Father and mother are so annoying."

Qi Yuli smiled, but didn't say anything. He looked at Su Zhi and asked, "Your coming of age is coming soon. What gift do you want?"

After hearing this, Su Zhi cooperated and thought seriously: "Hmm..." She hesitated for a moment before saying: "It's all right. I like whatever you give me."

Qi Yuli raised his eyebrows, smiled, and nodded slightly: "...Okay."

There were a lot of people at Su Zhi's coming-of-age ceremony, including many young talents and some young ladies of the same age from aristocratic families, all of whom wanted to take the opportunity to find a husband of their dreams.

The girl sat in front of the dressing table, looking at herself in the mirror with bright eyes and white teeth, a little dazed.

This was the first time she dressed up formally. She usually didn't wear any makeup on her face, and her fox eyes were watery.

Today, her eyebrows were carefully drawn and her thin lips were painted a light pink, like a smooth jelly that made people want to take a bite.

Ruan Xingmian looked at the beautiful girl in front of him, who looked like a painting. He curled his lips, raised his chin high, and said proudly: "Our Zhizhi is so beautiful!"

Su Zhi smiled sweetly, and put her fair hands around Ruan Xingmian beside her. Her voice was sweet and soft, and a little arrogant: "Of course, don't you see whose daughter I am!"

Ruan Xingmian hugged Su Zhi in his arms, kissed her on the face, and said in a pleasant voice: "Our Zhizhi is so sweet."

"Well, it's time for our little birthday boy to go out."

"Okay."

The two left side by side and headed towards the banquet.

"Eat and drink well, don't be restrained." Su Cibai sat on the dragon chair and looked down at the crowd below.

"The Queen has arrived, Princess Yong'an has arrived." The eunuch's shrill voice echoed throughout the banquet.

Everyone looked at Princess Yong'an who appeared, and their gazes froze. They had only heard that Princess Yong'an was arrogant and domineering, but they didn't expect that the real person was not like the rumors said, but dignified and gentle.

Their expressions showed undisguised greed and determination to win.

At this time, the girl had a little makeup on her face, and wore a sky blue Confucian skirt with a white cloak on the outside. She looked like a blue flower that was not stained by dust, and was very stunning.

Qi Yuli's brown pupils flashed with surprise. His gaze was undisguised as he stared straight at the girl in front of him. His Adam's apple rolled up and down unconsciously.

The center of the banquet hall was already filled with people, and only the two of them were left. After they bowed, they sat down at their seats.

"Today is Princess Yong'an's coming-of-age ceremony. According to the annual custom, Princess Yong'an should choose a husband from among you." Su Cibai's steady and powerful voice sounded.

Everyone at the banquet looked at each other, they all knew this custom.

But someone doesn't know.

Qi Yuli's brown eyes were deep and terrifying, and he exuded a strong sense of hostility. The large hands at his side were clenched tightly, and his fingertips turned white from the force.

He turned his head and looked at the girl beside him. Su Zhi's face also showed a hint of surprise. Qi Yuli clenched his teeth and said nothing.

Su Zhi felt a burning gaze staring at her. She gently turned her head and met Qi Yuli's gaze. His eyes were naked and full of resentment?

She was slightly stunned, and when she realized why, the corners of her mouth curled up and she laughed softly.

Qi Yuli's expression became even more resentful, and he forced out a sentence from his throat: "What are you laughing at?"
