New Return of the Pearl: The Group's Pet Swallow Flies

On the second floor of the inn, the carved window was closed, blocking the hustle and bustle of the street outside. At this moment, the silence in the room became more and more obvious, as if one could hear the sound of dust falling in the air. It was because of Ertai's sudden words that the original quiet atmosphere was broken.

Xiao Zhihang and Du Xueyin looked at each other, with a trace of surprise and bewilderment in their eyes. They had never thought that after not seeing their daughter for such a short period of time, she would be "kidnapped" by someone else. Especially when he heard Ertai say "I have been yours since you were one month old", Xiao Zhihang suddenly felt a strong sense of dissatisfaction. His face, which was originally a little serious, was now even more gloomy as if water could drip out of it, and he couldn't help but ask in a sinister voice: "Are you serious?"

At this time, Ertai was a little flustered, but he was calm on the surface. After all, he and Xiaoyanzi were childhood sweethearts. Now Xiaoyanzi wanted to cut off her relationship with him after seeing her parents, which made him feel wronged. So, he could no longer control himself and started talking about the so-called "tea talk".

However, when he met Uncle Xiao's cold face, he still gritted his teeth and explained: "From the moment I first met Xiaoyanzi, when she was just one month old, I secretly gave her my personal jade pendant. My mother once said that the jade pendant is our personal belongings, and it can only be given to our own wives in the future... So, since I was a child, I have believed that I belong to Xiaoyanzi."

Everyone in the room was stunned. This situation was beyond everyone's expectation. Who could have thought that Ertai, this boy, had been thinking about Xiaoyanzi since he was so young? Even Xiaoyanzi herself seemed to be in a daze. She had always thought that she and Ertai were childhood sweethearts, and their feelings had gradually grown over the years. She never expected that Ertai had been thinking about her since he was so young?

Recalling the day when Ertai quietly put his precious jade pendant into Xiaoyanzi's hand at the one-year-old celebration banquet, and then loudly declared in front of many people that Xiaoyanzi would be his wife in the future, Xiao Zhihang and others thought it was just a joke between children. But who could have thought that Ertai actually kept his words in mind and now shamelessly asked Xiaoyanzi to be responsible for him?

Xiao Zhihang's face was as dark as ink at this moment, and so was Xiao Feng. His precious daughter, his own sister had been secretly cared about for such a long time. Although they had watched Ertai grow up, and they had been together for such a long time, they knew each other well. But when he thought about it carefully, he felt an indescribable feeling of displeasure in his heart.

The smile in Du Xueyin's beautiful eyes became more intense, as if hiding endless tenderness and relief. She tilted her head slightly, her eyes gleaming with anticipation, and quietly watched Ertai's fearless appearance, secretly admiring the child's courage and determination.

The corners of her mouth that were slightly raised seemed to carry a mysterious magic, making the atmosphere around them particularly harmonious. She couldn't help laughing again, and that crisp and pleasant laughter was like a breeze, blowing through everyone's hearts.

Then, she asked Xiaoyanzi, her voice revealing a hint of concern and curiosity: "Xiaoyanzi, tell me the truth, what is the situation between you and Ertai now? Have you confirmed that you like each other and are in love with each other, and are you planning to hold a wedding when you return to the palace and officially become husband and wife?"

When Xiao Zhihang heard this, his murderous eyes slowly moved away from Ertai as if frozen by ice and snow. His handsome face was now filled with grievance and displeasure, and his eyes faintly revealed a trace of hurt. But he was reluctant to scold his precious daughter after all, and just stood aside silently, his eyes full of expectation, waiting for Xiaoyanzi to give an answer.

Ertai was nervous, staring at Xiaoyanzi, as if afraid she would suddenly change her mind. His heart beat faster, and beads of sweat appeared on his forehead. He knew that the answer was crucial, and it was related to the future of him and Xiaoyanzi. If Xiaoyanzi said no, he really didn't know how to face this sudden blow, and he might even cry out of grievance.

Ziwei and a dozen other people all looked gossipy, gathered around, their eyes sparkling with curiosity, and stretched their necks like a group of birds waiting to be fed, eager to see how Xiaoyanzi would answer this crucial question. The air was filled with a tense and expectant atmosphere, and everyone held their breath, quietly waiting for that moment to come.

If you two are in love, your parents won't stop you.

There are still two years before I return to the palace. You have enough time to get along with each other slowly. There is no need to rush to talk about marriage. In the days ahead, you should get along well. If one day you feel that there is something inappropriate about each other, or if you have been together for a long time and no longer have feelings for each other, you can speak up and end the relationship. "

Ertai was like a little bee that had stolen honey. When he heard Xiaoyanzi openly admitting her close relationship with him, his originally crescent-shaped eyebrows and eyes now smiled even wider like a crescent moon hanging on the treetops. His smile was so bright that only his teeth were showing, as if the whole world was becoming brighter because of this joy.

When he heard Aunt Du's slightly worried words, his confident look instantly revealed. He raised his head slightly, straightened his chest, and said confidently: "Don't worry, I will never bully Xiaoyanzi, and there will never be a day when I have no feelings for her. I will use my true heart to care for her, protect her, and make her happy forever."

The others looked at him with a proud look like a peacock about to spread its feathers, and shook their heads helplessly, with a look of disgust on their faces, as if to say how could this guy be so easily satisfied. As for Xiaoyanzi, although she rolled her eyes imperceptibly, the light of joy that could not be concealed was gleaming in the depths of her eyes. After all, the other party had made a solemn promise to her in front of so many people, so how could she have any reason to be unhappy?

Xiao Zhihang and Xiao Feng looked at Ertai's face, which was full of joy and seemed to be floating in the sky. The anger in their hearts suddenly rose like a burning flame. They wanted to rush forward and punch this guy to wake him up. However, they thought that since Xiaoyanzi liked this guy so much, if they continued to cause trouble, it would only make Xiaoyanzi sad. So they had to sit aside with their arms folded, sulking with a depressed look on their faces.
