She raised her eyebrows and glanced at him, then led the way. He took two steps forward and walked side by side with her.
"Don't you want to learn self-defense skills? I'll go to the martial arts studio later and I'll teach you."
"No."
Without thinking, she interrupted ruthlessly, "I don't want to learn anymore. When needed, I can just hire two people for money."
This was her decision just now. Anyway, she could only learn one and a half moves in a short time. If she really encountered a gangster like that day, learning those two moves would be of no use.
Besides, she didn't want Ye Shihan to have any misconceptions, so she should try to distance herself from him.
Xiao Mo sat blankly in the study, holding a braised egg in his hand. He peeled it open and took a bite, his lips immediately filled with fragrance.
Although the braised eggs were delicious, he felt a little uncomfortable. He heard from Xiao Yuanyuan that she always tried to get close to Ye Shihan. Today, it seemed that Ye Shihan was taking the initiative to approach her.
How could he, a general, be worthy of His Highness?
Thinking of this, he sighed helplessly, stuffed the braised egg into his mouth, chewed it slowly, and before his eyes, Su Muer's strong and resolute face appeared.
"Brother, what are you doing here alone?"
Xiao Yuanyuan walked in uninvited, and when she saw the braised eggs on the table, she immediately rubbed her nose.
"Okay, let's eat some good food by ourselves here? Why don't you call me little sister?"
Xiao Mo smiled bitterly, picked up a braised egg and handed it to her, "Didn't you say that her food is not delicious?"
Xiao Yuanyuan waved her hand and refused, "I won't eat, I will choke."
After saying that, she turned around and sat opposite him, holding her chin with her hands and looking at him blankly.
Xiao Mo was a little surprised by what she saw. He lowered his head to look at himself and found nothing unusual. Then he frowned and glared at her.
"What are you looking at? Don't you recognize your brother?"
"Brother, please find me a sister-in-law."
The words she suddenly blurted out surprised him.
"Don't you like having a woman other than you at home? Why do you want a sister-in-law?"
She pursed her lips, sat up straight, and breathed a sigh of relief.
"I'm going to get married sooner or later. How can you do it without a woman by your side? Besides, you are almost thirty, and other men at your age have a lot of children."
"I haven't considered you yet." Xiao Mo glared at her, "According to your temperament, what if I find you a sister-in-law and it's not good for you? What should you do if you quarrel? I don't want to fill up the trouble for myself.
.”
After saying this, he sighed again,
"Actually, I haven't met a suitable person for your brother. There are only a few ladies from the big family, all of them are as delicate and pretentious as you. Is it possible that you want to marry him back to support your ancestors?"
"Brother." When Xiao Yuanyuan heard him talking about herself like this, she stamped her feet in anger.
"How can anyone talk about his sister like that?"
She glared at him delicately, Xiao Mo waved his hand hurriedly,
"Stop talking about it, my sister is the best woman, right?"
"That's pretty much it." She pursed her lips and smiled, "By the way, brother, I think there is a suitable person now who is suitable to be my sister-in-law."
Xiao Mo looked up at her in confusion,
"Your brother feels like he belongs now. He doesn't want to find anyone else. I just don't know what they think in their hearts. Alas."
Hearing what he said, she rubbed her nose. How could she not know her brother's character? He still had feelings for him. He usually proposed marriage to him and just returned without even seeing her. Over time, everyone knew his habits.
They didn’t even dare to come and propose marriage to him.
"Brother, you will definitely like this woman."
"Who is it? Don't beat around the bush, I have something else to do."
He looked down at the book in his hand impatiently and frowned.
"This person came here just now."
After she finished speaking, she looked at his face carefully. She wanted to see his reaction from his face.
came?
Xiao Mo suddenly raised his eyes. The only woman who had ever been to the General's Mansion was Su Mu'er.
"what do you mean?"
He finally put down the book in his hand and looked at him seriously.
"Brother, look, that Su Mu'er is strong and capable. She can support the Su family by herself. This is not what ordinary women can achieve. Although she has a son, the child has no father and is smart and cute. You see.
You will also like it.”
Mentioning that child, Xiao Mo thought of the few punches he gave him that day. That child was really not annoying.
Seeing that he listened carefully, Xiao Yuanyuan rolled her eyes and then said:
"She is not delicate, pretentious, or pretentious. It would be perfect if she became my sister-in-law."
Xiao Mo kept looking at her with surprised eyes. He didn't expect that his sister actually knew his heart.
Ever since he saved her that day, her shadow has been dangling in front of him. The person he just said he admired was also her.
"Miss Su is naturally the best choice for your sister-in-law. It's just your brother's wishful thinking. I don't know what she has in mind."
Thinking of her, he had to think of Ye Shihan,
"Besides, His Highness the Seventh Prince seems to be interested in her too."
When he said this, he seemed a little lost, and there was a sense of loneliness in his eyes.
"She is the daughter of a guilty minister and cannot enter the royal family. However, our Xiao family is not a relative of the emperor and there are no such rules. Brother, you don't have to worry and just pay the betrothal gift."
When Xiao Yuanyuan thought of the way Ye Shihan looked at her just now, she was so angry that her teeth itched. She wished that her brother would pay her a betrothal gift and marry her now.
Xiao Mo pondered for a while and shook his head, "I'm afraid there's something wrong with this. If someone directly returns the betrothal gift, where will your brother's face be?"
He is a general, and no matter how much he likes that woman, he cannot throw his face into the street.
Xiao Yuanyuan put her chin on her hand and pursed her lips, thinking for a while. Suddenly her eyes lit up and she had an idea.
"Yes, brother, go and ask the emperor for permission to marry you. This will definitely happen."
This idea sounds pretty good, Xiao Mo frowned and thought, feeling a little nervous.
"But the Seventh Highness seems to be interested in her. I asked the Emperor to confer a marriage, but what should I do if the Seventh Highness comes out to stop it? Besides, she is a commoner now, and the Emperor's decree of conferring a marriage does not seem to have any effect on her."
"Brother." Xiao Yuanyuan crossed her arms and looked at him angrily, "Just because Ye Shihan is interested in her, you should take action earlier. As far as I know, she currently has no feelings for Ye Shihan. If you take action too late, she will be in love with Ye Shihan.
, then it’s too late.”
Seeing Xiao Mo's silence, she became furious, put her hands on the table, and stared at him with a pair of red phoenix eyes.
"Brother, you are not usually an indecisive person. You are a general. Can you be more straightforward? Otherwise, I will give you a betrothal gift and let the people in the city know that you, Xiao Mo, are interested in her, the daughter of a criminal minister.
, Besides, you are her savior, and she should marry her savior, which is a good story to say."
After saying that, she turned around angrily. Xiao Mo wanted to raise his hand to call her, but she was already gone.
He shook his head helplessly. His sister was used to being willful, but he thought it would be fine if she got sulky for a while, so he didn't care.
