CHAPTER 483 2 : AGE GAP (2/2)

Outside the tea store, Pei Qianhao boarded the carriage, and Wu Ling turned the horse in another direction.

Pei Qianhao pulled Su Xi-er into his embrace as she asked, “Was the person in the horse carriage just now the King of the Western Regions?”

“Mmm, that’s right. He had been in the capital for a few days before departing today.”

“Did you ask him his purpose in coming to Beimin?”

Su Xi-er smiled. “I have you and Lianchen; that’s enough. Right now, I’m more worried about why Lianchen suddenly put off the Imperial Beauty Selection, and how Nanzhao is doing.” Su Xi-er’s gaze became distant.

I really want to get to Nanzhao right now and investigate the situation.

“The only person who can cause your imperial younger brother to do this is that clever and quirky little lass.”

Su Xi-er was stunned. “You mean Yinyin?”

“Although that lass is only 10 years old, her parents passed away early. She may appear naive and innocent, but she actually understands what the people she cherishes mean to her more than anyone.”

Only when one loses something will they learn how to cherish it. With Lianchen being the only one who treats her well after her parents passed away, he has already become her family in her eyes. He’s the person she wishes to rely on for her whole life.

Su Xi-er was deep in thought when Pei Qianhao continued. “That lass is much more intelligent than your imperial younger brother in some aspects. Maybe she ran away, and that’s why your imperial younger brother was in a panic to delay the Imperial Beauty Selection.”

“A-Jing, I could tell that Yinyin liked Lianchen, but I didn’t expect her to be so precocious at the age of 10.”

Pei Qianhao softly chuckled. “Xi-er, I’m ten years older than you. Yinyin is only 6 years younger than Lianchen.”

“Who said you’re 10 years older than me?” Su Xi-er immediately refuted and glared at him.
