Delicate Beauty Becomes the Beloved of Four Brothers After Her Rebirth!-Chapter 9: He Will Go to the Bai Manor to Propose Marriage
Chapter 9: He Will Go to the Bai Manor to Propose Marriage
While everyone was sighing, Bai Xianyu had already entered the Drunken Fragrance Restaurant.
The shopkeeper's surname was Wu. She smiled and said, "Boss Wu, give me a plate of green bean cake and chestnut cake each to take away."
"Hey, hey, okay!"
Boss Wu nodded repeatedly and sent someone to prepare.
"Miss Bai, please wait a moment. There are many people today. Let me find a seat for you to sit first."
The shop assistant looked around, but the first floor was filled with guests and there were no more seats.
Bai Xianyu followed him upstairs. There were quite a lot of seats on the second floor. The shop assistant wiped the seat on the side for her, and that seat happened to be in front of Xie Xingyun.
She stopped in her tracks and turned a corner without a trace, heading to a spot far away from him.
Xie Xingyun took a sip of wine and rubbed the mouth of the bottle with his slender fingers. His expression was dark.
The familiar scent of the Chinese rose came from behind and gradually faded away.
It was as if he and Bai Xianyu were strangers. 𝒃𝙚𝒅𝒏𝙤𝙫𝒆𝒍.𝙘𝒐𝙢
Even in this life, she had never loved him.
His fingers moved slightly.
After Bai Xianyu sat down, she fiddled with a plum blossom on the table in boredom. Suddenly, her vision darkened.
Someone sat down opposite her.
She retracted her hand stiffly. "What's up, Young Marquis?"
Xie Xingyun stared at her silently for a while.
It made Bai Xianyu's hair stand on end. The young man then slowly said, "I heard… that you and Lin Xingjian are getting married?"
Bai Xianyu was stunned.
Before she could speak, Xie Xingyun turned to look out of the window. His tone was calm and there was no fluctuation in it. "I was the one who killed the white tiger at the hunting ground previously."
"Your saviour is me."
"The person you should devote yourself to should be me."
Bai Xianyu was stunned. The scene from that day quickly flashed through her mind. So he was the one who shot that throat-piercing arrow!
But did Xie Xingyun come over specially to tell her this?"
She could not understand what Xie Xingyun meant, so she stood up and bowed. "Thank you, Marquis."
The young man hummed softly and poured himself a glass of wine. "Lin Xingjian is not your beloved."
Xiao Zheng, who was behind him, looked incredulous.
"Marquis, what do you mean?"
"Literally." He got up to leave.
Before Bai Xianyu could speak, the shop assistant had already filled two bags of pastries and handed them to her. "Miss Bai, the pastries you wanted are ready."
She went silent. "Thank you."
…
Not to mention Bai Xianyu, even Xiao Zheng, who grew up with Xie Xingyun, did not understand what he meant.
Was he going to ask Miss Bai for credit?
When had the Young Marquis ever cared about these things?
But after saying this, Xie Xingyun's expression clearly improved a lot. He no longer looked as if there was a dark cloud pressing down on the city.
She knew that he was her true savior.
Although there were some variables in the middle, the final outcome would still be the same.
Bai Xianyu would like him as much as before. Her heart would only be filled with him, and she would not be able to tolerate any other man.
Xie Xingyun subconsciously relaxed a lot.
In her previous life, she had pursued him so hard. In this life, he would take the initiative. As long as she was interested in him, he would go to the Bai Manor to propose marriage.
…
Bai Xianyu quietly walked to the woodshed. If she remembered correctly, there was a small hole here. Fourth Brother had been naughty since he was young, so it was common for him to be locked up in the woodshed.
Hence, in order to make it more convenient for her to deliver food to him, she specially dug a small hole. Usually, it was blocked by firewood and could not be seen.
She removed the firewood and sent the warm pastries and ointment in. "Fourth Brother, I brought you your favorite pastries. Remember to apply the medicine after you're done eating."
Bai Jinyan took it with a whimper and took a bite of the fragrant chestnut cake. He knocked on the wall twice in response.
Bai Xianyu leaned against the wall and waited for him to finish eating. Then, she destroyed the cotton bag containing the pastries and left.
