Mistakenly recognized as a cousin, thousands of pampered

"Sister Zhuang'an."

Ji Qingyi spoke, his voice was warm and magnetic, his tone was full of joy, and there was a hint of smile in his eyes as he looked at Tao Jiuxi.

Tao Jiuxi was still immersed in surprise at this time. He was a little dazed and had not yet recovered from this sudden situation.

Tao Hongyuan said, "Xier, this is your cousin Ji Qingyi. You met him when you were a child."

Seeing that Tao Jiuxi didn't react at all, Tao Hongyuan frowned slightly and said in a slightly more serious tone, "Why are you standing there?"

"That..." Tao Jiuxi finally woke up from his dream, a trace of panic flashed across his face, and he said hurriedly: "Hello, sir."

Her hands unconsciously clenched slightly, and her eyes were a little evasive.

"This is your brother Yi." Tao Hongyuan said again, and then explained to Ji Qingyi: "Xier is still young and a little shy."

When Ji Qingyi heard this, the corners of his mouth unconsciously rose up, revealing a barely noticeable smile.

He remembered that two hours ago, he saw Tao Jiuxi bravely beating someone on the street, but the woman in front of him now looked cautious, timid and shy. The contrast was really interesting.

"Hello, Brother Yi." Tao Jiuxi calmed himself down, bent his knees slightly and bowed, his movements a little stiff.

"Xi'er, there's no need to be so polite."

Ji Qingyi replied softly, his eyes falling gently on Tao Jiuxi. In front of him was his fiancée whom he had been waiting to see grow up for many years. He couldn't help but feel a different emotion in his heart, with anticipation and a hint of curiosity, wanting to get to know more about this woman with a different appearance.

He could no longer remember when he had last seen Tao Jiuxi, but he always knew that he was engaged and all he had to do was wait patiently for her to grow up.

During those long years, he had imagined countless times in his mind what his fiancée would look like.

Thinking about my uncle's handsome appearance, I decided that my fiancée should be good-looking.

He didn't ask for much, just hoped that his fiancée would be a kind-hearted person.

Today on the street, he saw a few beggars huddled in a corner. He felt pity for them and was about to go up and give some food to the children.

But at this moment, a pretty figure took the lead.

She was dressed in gorgeous clothes, but she sat on the roadside without a care in the world. Her tone was as gentle as water, and she gently coaxed the little beggar to eat.

Ji Qingyi looked at her from afar. She was smiling like a flower, and she looked like a fairy who had fallen into the mortal world, emitting a warm and kind light.

But then she was blackmailed by that man, and she immediately fought back without fear. Her courageous look gave her originally gentle temperament a layer of dazzling golden light.

He really couldn't stand this unreasonable behavior, so he immediately stepped forward to help.

The woman was very polite and even gave him dessert. Ji Qingyi couldn't help but think that it would be great if his fiancée, whom he had hardly met, could be as wonderful as this.

However, this thought only flashed through my mind.

In his heart, no matter what his fiancée is like, she is the wife who will accompany him for the rest of his life.

However, after arriving at the Tao Mansion and meeting his uncle, he only saw his fiancée's sister.

When that jumping figure appeared, accompanied by that crisp cry: "Sister, Daddy."

Ji Qingyi's heart seemed to be hit by something, his heartbeat seemed to slow down for a beat, and his breathing stopped at that moment.

Until he confirmed that the woman on the street who he thought was a fairy who fell into the mortal world was actually his fiancée, he suddenly felt an indescribable feeling of surprise in his heart, as if fate had revealed the most beautiful gift for him at this moment.

After Tao Jiuxi finished her greetings, she noticed that Ji Qingyi was looking at her without any concealment. She couldn't help but pull out an awkward smile, which was a bit uncomfortable and awkward, and her eyes were a little evasive.

Ji Qingyi couldn't help but chuckle at this moment. He thought that Tao Jiuxi was probably embarrassed because he saw her appearance on the street today, so she was in this state at the moment.

He looked at Tao Jiuxi with a smile in his eyes and thought she looked very interesting.

Seeing the look in Ji Qingyi's eyes when he looked at his daughter, Tao Hongyuan felt very satisfied.

He could see that his future son-in-law liked his daughter, which made him feel relieved.

"Xier, accompany Qingyi for a few days to go shopping." Tao Hongyuan said.

"Ah? Me?" Tao Jiuxi pointed at himself in surprise, his eyes wide open.

"Don't be shy. You and Qingyi are engaged. If you are not comfortable with it, let Wan'er go with you..." Tao Hongyuan thought his daughter was just shy and comforted her softly.

"No, I'll just stay with you."

Tao Jiuxi said quickly. She was thinking that she couldn't let her sister be implicated by this matter, and she wanted to explain the cancellation of the engagement to Ji Qingyi. If her sister was around, Ji Qingyi might be even more embarrassed.

Ji Qingyi looked at Tao Jiuxi's panic at this moment, which was completely different from the calm look when she beat someone on the street just now. He just felt that his fiancée was very cute.

He smiled and said, "Then I'll have to trouble Xier."

"No... You're welcome."

Tao Jiuxi answered with a guilty conscience. She could feel that Ji Qingyi was looking at her with expectation in his eyes, but she was the one who took the initiative to talk to him about breaking off the engagement, which made her feel a little guilty and uneasy.

"Father, I'm going to go back and change my clothes first."

Tao Jiuxi said, wanting to temporarily escape from this embarrassing situation.

"Go ahead." Tao Hongyuan nodded in agreement.

Tao Jiuxi pulled Tao Qingwan and was about to leave, but just as she raised her foot, she remembered that she had not yet saluted. Then the two sisters hurriedly saluted and ran away.

The two sisters trotted back to the yard hand in hand, their skirts fluttering in the wind.

"Sister..." Tao Jiuxi just opened his mouth when he was interrupted by Tao Qingwan.

"Sister, I also have something to tell you." Tao Qingwan looked a little strange, with a hint of hesitation in her eyes.

"Sister, let you speak first." Tao Jiuxi stopped and looked at his sister.

Tao Qingwan frowned slightly, a hint of worry in her eyes, and slowly said, "Today, when Brother Yi and Father were talking, I overheard them mention a marriage certificate. The certificate didn't explicitly state it was you, but it did state that you were my father's daughter."

"What do you mean?" Tao Jiuxi looked puzzled and blinked.

"It's the person in the marriage certificate. It can be you or me. But my father said that you were originally destined to be the one with my grandfather's family. Your horoscopes match those of Brother Yi, so it must be a match made in heaven." Tao Qingwan said this with a somewhat obscure tone, twisting the handkerchief unconsciously in her hands.

Tao Jiuxi was very surprised to hear this. She couldn't help but think of Ji Qingyi when she first met him. He was indeed very handsome and heroic. She secretly wondered if her sister had a crush on Ji Qingyi.

"Sister, you are..." Tao Jiuxi asked cautiously.

"I'm not, you know, my type is..." Tao Qingwan immediately expressed her attitude, her cheeks slightly flushed.

"Yes, yes, it's like the third place winner. So, are you bringing this up to help Shen Zhiyi and I?"

Tao Jiuxi felt a little bitter in her eyes. Yesterday, she was still thinking about letting her sister find her own happiness, but she didn't expect that her sister would have such an idea today. She felt touched but also a little helpless.

"Sister, you don't have anyone important in your heart. You and Duke Shen have a deep relationship. If you ask father to change the marriage partner to me now and discuss it with Brother Yi, maybe it will be okay."

Tao Qingwan felt that this was just an engagement arranged by their parents, and that Ji Qingyi was not necessarily determined to be her sister since this was the first time he saw her.

She sincerely hopes that her sister can be happy, even if it means making some sacrifices.

"Sister, no." Tao Jiuxi shook her head firmly.

"But are you willing to give up Duke Shen?" Tao Qingwan asked, her eyes full of concern.

"No, sister, you and Brother Yi are close relatives. Children born from close relatives may have defects." Tao Jiuxi said, and then carefully explained to Tao Qingwan what close relatives are and the consequences of close relatives marrying and having children, with a serious and earnest expression.

"But what should you do now? My father said that if our family cancels the engagement, he will have no face to live." Tao Qingwan had crumpled the handkerchief in her hand into a ball. She was anxious and had no idea what to do.

Tao Jiuxi looked at Tao Qingwan's anxious expression and sighed deeply.

She was also a little confused at this time, and she also needed to consider the relationship between Shen Zhiyi and Ji Qingyi.

She felt she was caught in a dilemma and didn't know what to do.

"Sister, why don't you try to find out what Brother Yi means in the next two days? If he doesn't have to marry her, wouldn't that make everyone happy?"

Tao Jiuxi held on to a glimmer of hope. She hoped that things would take a turn for the better, so that she could solve the current predicament without hurting the people around her.
