Chapter 424.1: younger brother-in-law is rea.s.sured

Ning Lianchen wore a solemn expression. Prince Hao, I will take what you have said to heart. He then looked towards Su Xi-er again. Imperial Elder Sister, you dont have to worry about Nanzhao. I have already grown up, and Im no longer that mischievous child.

Su Xi-er stared at him.

Even though the burden on his shoulders is so great, hes trying to act casually so that I wont worry.

Her heart ached as she raised her hand to pat his head, her tone affectionate when she spoke again. Lianchen, you have grown up.

A disconsolate feeling also crept into Ning Lianchens heart.

We havent met in such a long time, yet we have to part again.

Imperial Elder Sister, Ill only rest a.s.sured when I can see your happiness. Disregarding Pei Qianhao, he grasped Su Xi-ers hand and walked over to the former.

Ning Lianchen laughed before pulling Pei Qianhaos hand and placing it on Su Xi-ers hand. Prince Hao, shes my only family in this world. She is my most respected and loved Imperial Elder Sister, and I will entrust her to you in this lifetime. You must treat her well, or else, Ill be bringing her back to Nanzhao.

Watching their entwined hands, Ning Lianchen felt that Su Xi-ers happiness was his own.

Pei Qianhao pulled Su Xi-er to his side with an earnest look. This Prince wont give you that chance.

I am even more rea.s.sured now that I have received your promise. Imperial Elder Sister has a different personality than most other women, so I hope that you can yield a bit to her whenever you can, Prince Hao. It would be even better if you can always think of her first before you make any decision. As Ning Lianchen was much more familiar with Su Xi-er, he made sure to give Pei Qianhao some advice before he left.

Pei Qianhao turned to look at Su Xi-er, playfulness flickering across his eyes. This Prince has deeply experienced this personality of yours.

He laughed in a confident or perhaps, arrogant manner. This Prince is the only one in this world who can bear your Imperial Elder Sisters personality. Perhaps only strong men can match her, but this Prince is honoured to have Nanzhaos Eldest Imperial Princess.

Su Xi-er was extremely touched. His honest words caused a sour feeling to well up in her heart, and her eyes became uncontrollably wet.

Pei Qianhao immediately helped her wipe her tears away. Youre ugly when you cry. This Prince doesnt want you anymore.

You dare? The corners of Su Xi-ers mouth rose.

She was clearly laughing, but tears were falling from her eyes. Once again, Pei Qianhao truly felt that womens hearts were unfathomable to be able to cry and smile at the same time. Youre right; this Prince indeed doesnt dare.

Ning Lianchen was practically beaming. He hadnt expected Pei Qianhaos true character to be so indulgent.

Rumours have it that Prince Hao is cold, heartless, ruthless, and bloodthirsty. But in my eyes, Prince Hao is the most sincere and straightforward.

Imperial Elder Sister, I have to go now. Ning Lianchen stowed away the reluctant look on his face as he spoke.

Even though separation is painful, all good things come to an end, and the time for goodbye will eventually come. Without separation, the joy of reunion would also cease to exist.

Lianchen, Ill see you off. Su Xi-er immediately felt someone pull on her hand, so she added, Prince Hao, lets see Lianchen off together.

Pei Qianhao was no longer displeased as he nodded at her. Lets go together. He then instructed the guards to prepare a horse carriage.
