Chapter 24: The Peach Blossom Appears Beyond the Wall

  She never thought she would see him again, nor did she expect that her reunion with him after their last falling out would be like this.

  Qian Lian Xia's mind was elsewhere as she picked at the rice grains in her ceramic bowl, her brow furrowed even deeper. Wasn't she just a pawn to him? As far as he was concerned, this one had already exposed his discarded pawns, what else did he have to be angry or care about? She couldn't understand him, really couldn't understand, or maybe didn't want to understand, only feeling a faint sense of unease in her heart.

  Recalling his last gloomy gaze, Chihiro Sumeragi suddenly felt a chill run down her spine, and the sense of unease in her heart grew heavier.

  "Zhou Zhou," a magnetic and gentle male voice called out. Qian Lian Xia was startled, the chopsticks in her hand fell to the ground.

  The sound of chopsticks was not loud but not light either. It wasn't until then that Chihiro realized she had spaced out and quickly bent down to pick them up.

  The servant had already picked up the chopsticks and said to her, "Miss, wait a moment, I'll go get you another pair."

  Qian Lian Xia awkwardly scratched her head and looked at Si Tu Shang Xuan beside her, then forced a bitter smile as she looked at the middle-aged man opposite her, "Uncle,"

  "What are you thinking about, being so absorbed?" Si Tu Shangxuan gently wiped away the remaining stains from her lips, his reproachful voice filled with infinite doting.

  Qian Lian Xia's pretty face turned red and she lowered her head, "No."

  "Haha, I didn't know that Zhōu Zhōu could blush too!" The man sitting on the upper left side elegantly wiped his lips with a napkin and playfully gazed at the sweetness between them.

  The man has a head of coffee-colored long hair, and his facial features, despite having experienced the vicissitudes of life, still have the mature charm that belongs to a grown man. It can be said that this man, like Qian Jun, is a middle-aged man with great charm that cannot be measured by age.

  "Uncle is always bullying me!" said Qian Lian Xia with a pout.

  Outside the villa, it was dark as a curtain, but inside the dining hall, it was bright and warm. This dinner could also be called a family banquet, specially prepared to welcome Shi Tu Shangxuan's father, Shi Tu Haize, who sat in the upper left seat.

  "Ah-ya, after getting engaged to Shang Xuan, you'll be a part of our family from now on." Si Tu Hao Ze said with a smile full of meaning.

  Qian Lian Xia's face turned red again, and she nervously clasped her hands under the table. Unexpectedly, Si Tu Shang Xuan's warm palm stretched out firmly and tightly grasped her small hand. He knew what she was worried about. Qian Lian Xia's eyes welled up with tears, and she glanced sideways at his warm and spring-like eyes, feeling a warmth in her heart.

  Tian Nuoyu sat on the lower left side, anxiously asking Xie Huoze beside him, "Yin Ze, where are Princess and Shang Qili? Why didn't they come with you?"

  Qian Jun sat on the upper seat to the right, listening to Tian Yunyu talking to Si Tu Hangze, his dissatisfied eyes kept drifting back and forth between the two people. Look, his wife not only sat below her former lover, but also had a soft gaze that seemed to be able to squeeze out water.

  Situ Haoze received a stern gaze from the opposite side, and couldn't help but shake his head with a wry smile, as if to tease Qian Junwei. He turned to Tian Suiyu and spoke, his eyes softening as if he were looking at his wife, "Shang Qi hasn't returned from training yet, and Lonieta was originally going to come too, but the royal family had some matters that delayed her, so she couldn't leave. Lissha is clinging to her, so naturally she didn't want to come either."

  Loraine is his wife, a princess of the British royal family. Shang Qi and Lisi are their children, a pair of twins, who are naturally Shi Tu Shang Xuan's younger siblings.

  Tian Yu Rain hadn't noticed anything unusual and just nodded, saying: "It's really a pity. I was thinking of taking the opportunity to see Shang Qi and Lisi again. It's been several years since I last saw them."

  The eye contact between the two of them made a man sitting opposite them smoke with anger. It was Qian Lixia who first sensed that the atmosphere was different, and after secretly glancing at her father who was about to explode, she pulled on Situ Shangxuan's hand and stood up, saying: "Dad, uncle, I'm tired, so I'll go upstairs first, you all continue, continue!"

  Situ Shangxuan also stood up with Qian Lixia, "Uncle, aunt, father, I'm tired too, I'll go upstairs to rest first."

  "Alright, alright, tomorrow's engagement ceremony will be tiring, so it's good to rest early today." The adults exchanged knowing glances, how could they not agree.

  Qian Lian Xia Yi nodded in agreement and immediately pulled Si Tu Shang Xuan away from the battlefield.

  Shu Shangxuan went upstairs still puzzled, "Zhou Zhou,"

  Qian Lian Xia suddenly interjected, "I'm doing this for your own good. Haven't you seen my dad's vinegar jar being knocked over?"

  Situ Shangxuan smiled wryly and said helplessly, "You..."

  Just after finishing speaking, a man's angry roar came from downstairs, "Tian Suiyu, you dare to have an affair under my nose!!!"

  Then there was the sound of a woman's panicked screams and another man's charming laughter, "Qian Junwei, you were like this before, and now you're still like this. Ah, Xiaoyu, I really feel sorry for you. You didn't follow me back then, but now it seems that your decision wasn't very wise. How about it? Do you want to consider divorcing this guy?"

  Situ Haoze's voice of sabotage suddenly stopped, followed by Qian Junmo's angry words, "Yin Ze, get out! You're not welcome here!!"

  "Hey, Qian Junwei, what's wrong with you? Yin Ze is a guest," a female voice said, not backing down.

  "Shut up! You're going to regret not listening to me!" Chi Jun's angry rebuke was followed by the sound of footsteps echoing down the corridor.

  Qian Lian Xia rolled her eyes again, here we go again, Dad always uses this trick, so unoriginal.

  Turning to look at Situ Shangxuan's shocked and speechless expression, Qian Lixia shrugged her shoulders to explain to him, "It's nothing, you'll get used to it later."

  Senri Natsu fell asleep for a moment and then headed towards her room.

  It was an unintentional sentence from her, but when it fell into Situ Shangxuan's ears, it had a different meaning. The implication is that Zong Zong finally accepted him?

  The next morning, she was dragged out of bed by Guo and a group of maids before she was fully awake. After helping her get dressed, Qianlian Xia suddenly realized that today was the day of her engagement when she looked at herself in the mirror.

  "Miss, this afternoon go try on the wedding dress first, in the afternoon there will be guests arriving one after another, Miss just stay in the room and it's fine."

  Guo's sister couldn't help but stroke her smooth hair, and the old face that had experienced wind and frost said, "If I can see Miss find a fiancé as good as Master Situ, I can also rest assured to go."

  Qian Lian Xia suddenly grasped Guo Shu's hand and said: "Guo Shu, are you leaving?"

  "Guo's sister is old and can't go on." Guo's sister sighed, wiped away a tear, and hastily walked out of the room.

  Qian Lian Xia watched as Guo Shu's figure walked away, and she couldn't help but let out a long sigh. She didn't know if marrying Shang Xuan would be good or bad, all she knew was that he could treat her well, and that was the happiness she wanted!
