Xiao Jialan refused to admit it and said: "I just want to catch up with my brother about old times."
"oh?"
Xiao Chongjun raised his eyebrows and said deliberately: "In that case, let's put your marriage aside for now, don't be in a hurry!"
Xiao Jialan's face flashed, and her resentful eyes were a bit accusatory and coquettish: "Brother."
Xiao Chongjun sighed and said: "You hate getting married so much? I just found you, and you can't wait to marry Beichen. Once you leave, I don't know how long it will be before I can see you again."
We have never been separated since we were young. Now that you are living in Beichen, I have no time to think about food and drink, and I can't sleep at night. Didn't you see that my hair is all white?
Although Yuan Chen treats you sincerely, Beichen is so far away from Nanyue and there is no information available, so how can I feel at ease?"
Xiao Jialan saw that there were indeed gray hairs on his head, and she suddenly couldn't bear it. Indeed, she only wanted to marry Yuan Chen as soon as possible but she never considered her brother's feelings.
She hugged Xiao Chongjun and said, "I'm sorry, brother, it's my fault for making you worry."
Xiao Chongjun said: "I can see that you really like Yuan Chen. I don't understand. What's so good about him is that he has a prettier face."
Xiao Jialan held back her smile and flattered, "I'm not as good-looking as my brother."
Xiao Chongjun snorted and said, "Chu Heng traveled all the way to Beichen to pick you up for you, but when he came back he was like an eggplant beaten by frost.
He has always been a proud and arrogant person, but since Beichen came back, he has become depressed, as if he has lost his soul.
After asking more carefully, I found out that he lost to Yuan Chen, and he said something to me at that time, which deeply touched me."
Xiao Jialan asked curiously: "What did he say?"
Xiao Chongjun said: "At that time, I did not agree with your marriage to Yuan Chen. Beichen and Nanyue have been at odds for a long time. Who knows what purpose they had in wanting to marry you.
Therefore, I asked Chu Heng to sneak into Beichen quietly and wanted to bring you back, but you refused.
After Chu Heng came back, he advised me to think carefully about your marriage to Yuan Chen. He said that he had never seen you so persistent, and that when you looked at Yuan Chen, there was light in your eyes.
He also praised Yuan Chen unstintingly, saying that Prince Beichen was indeed worthy of his reputation and was a person worthy of being entrusted with his life.
At that time, I was very surprised that Chu Heng could praise him so much. I also wanted to see who this Prince Beichen was.
But when I thought about him kidnapping my most beloved sister, I didn't want to give him a good look, so I deliberately left him alone to see how he behaved?
And he is indeed able to keep his composure. If you hadn't suddenly fallen ill, I would have wanted to see how long he could endure it?
You don’t know that when he saw you so sick, he rushed over and pushed me away. If he hadn’t been afraid of my identity, he might have settled a score with me.”
Although Xiao Chongjun didn't want to admit it, it was undeniable that he had accepted his brother-in-law from the bottom of his heart.
His sister has found someone who can protect her for the rest of her life. As an elder brother, it's time for him to let her go and let her pursue her own happiness.
"elder brother."
Xiao Jialan looked at him with blurry eyes.
Xiao Chongjun continued: "I was indeed surprised when Yuan Chen said that he wanted to give up his country to us. He said that he would not accept concubines in this life, and I was also shocked.
But I’m more happy because my sister is so capable and can charm a man like this. As an elder brother, I couldn’t be more honored.”
