The scorching afternoon sun shines in through the long window, and the ground is covered with gold. The shadows of the trees outside the window are swaying, and the breeze brings a refreshing coolness.
Xi Lanting walked in gracefully.
He seemed to be covered with sunshine, shining brightly, and his whole body was radiant.
Everyone in the fourth room was so surprised by his arrival that they all looked at him blankly.
He wore a snow-colored plain shirt with a stand-up collar and obsidian buttons on the cuffs. Under the sunlight, the buttons glowed with a warm luster, making them as dazzling as him.
"Fourth brother, fourth sister-in-law, I'm here to borrow something." Xi Lanting said leisurely.
He had an extremely handsome face with no unnecessary expression, and his eyes lightly glanced at Fourth Master Xi and Du Xiaoqin.
Only then did Fourth Master Xi speak up and treat his younger brother with great respect: "What do you mean by borrowing? Whatever Xiao Qi wants, just come and get it."
"I want to borrow Yun Qiao to be my female companion." Xi Lanting said.
His tone was so natural that no one thought they could reject him.
Fourth Master Xi looked at Yun Qiao.
Yun Qiao glanced at Du Xiaoqin.
Du Xiaoqin immediately said to Yun Qiao: "Then you have to take good care of your seventh uncle and don't cause any trouble to your seventh uncle. Why don't you go quickly?"
Yun Qiao smiled.
When she smiles, she is like a summer flower blooming in full bloom, extremely beautiful; and her dress full of red peonies accentuates her beauty even more.
She stepped forward.
Xi Lanting raised his arm and motioned for Yun Qiao to take it.
When the two of them walked out of the fourth room, everyone in the fourth room was still stunned.
"Shameless, I want to be Uncle Qi's little wife!" the eldest brother Xi Wenqing scolded.
Du Xiaoqin immediately glared at his son: "Shut up, don't talk nonsense!"
Being able to be a concubine for Uncle Qi is also Yun Qiao's good fortune.
The car started outside and Xi Lanting and Yun Qiao left first.
The afternoon sun was shining brightly, shining in through the car window. Xi Lanting squinted her eyes, as if she didn't like the scorching sun, so Yun Qiao took the initiative to close the car curtains.
Dark curtains are used to cover the room in midsummer, but are not used much in normal times.
Once it is pulled up, the interior of the car becomes much darker and feels cooler.
Xi Lanting bent down slightly.
There was a food box at his feet.
Opening it, there was soda inside, and he handed one to Yun Qiao.
Yun Qiao took it in his hand and took two sips: "It's cold, so refreshing!"
Xi Lanting smiled.
His smile was indescribably gentle.
Yun Qiao thought that Uncle Qi had changed his temper and wanted to be a considerate and gentle man from now on. Unexpectedly, he looked at Yun Qiao's skirt and frowned: "A foreign dress embroidered with red peonies is neither good nor foreign. This tailor's skills should be
Chop it."
Yun Qiao: "Uncle Qi, this is called classical fashion, you don't understand."
Xi Lanting: "..."
Yun Qiao thrust the half-drunk soda bottle into Xi Lanting's hand, and she took out a pair of white lace gloves from her small handbag.
The gloves are quite long, up to the elbows.
Then, she took out a diamond necklace from her bag, which her grandmother bought for her.
These two embellishments make her more delicate and noble.
"Your mother asked you to wear this, so you just wear it honestly?" Xi Lanting looked at her again, "It's too gorgeous."
"Uncle Qi, you may not understand fashion." Yun Qiao said with a smile.
"Many people don't understand fashion..."
Yun Qiao glanced at him: "I mean, I have very expensive decorations tonight. No matter how gorgeous my clothes are, others are trying to imitate them."
Xi Lanting looked at her.
But Yun Qiao held his arm: "Uncle Qi, you are my most precious decoration. The women around Mr. Xi Qi are naturally extremely noble and look good no matter what they wear."
Xi Lanting: "..."
He was silent for a moment.
Yun Qiao was speechless every time, and it was a rare occasion when he was speechless.
He asked again: "How did you know that I would be your decoration?"
