Chapter 76 Clear
Yuan Chen let go of his hand, pressed it between his eyebrows, and then solemnly bowed to Xinnuo and said, "Yes, I am the little boy who got the cat's eye stone back then. I can't repay you for saving my life. What conditions do you have?" , just say it.”

Xinnuo didn't expect the second senior brother to be so boring. He just admitted his mistake after asking clearly?Aren’t you and Cheng Xueyao very good?Shouldn't I say that even if it was a favor from you back then, I wouldn't recognize it?
She turned around and sat back on the chair, crossed her legs, and asked: "What did Shopkeeper Hong say that you believed so much? No more checking, just in case I overheard something and deliberately wanted to be your lifesaver." Where is the benefactor?”

These words were consistent with Yuan Chen's previous suspicions, which immediately made him feel warm, and he told the details of how he found Shopkeeper Hong.

It was a coincidence that he went there. Shopkeeper Hong was about to go out to the dock to board a ship and go out to sea. If Yuan Chen was a step late, shopkeeper Hong would board the ship heading south.

Shopkeeper Hong welcomed his old friend, the apprentice, very much, and immediately postponed his trip. After hearing his purpose, and before he could say Xin Nuo's name, shopkeeper Hong took the cat's eye stone on his fan pendant and examined it carefully. , and said with a smile: "There is no need to check the account books for this. I remember that it was collected by a pawn shop in the city. I don't know if it was a fragment of a delicate utensil that was destroyed by a wealthy family. I wanted to give it to a little girl from an old friend's house. The glass mirror was not a birthday gift, so I randomly selected a few intact pieces from the cat's eyes and agate ones that we collected, and asked the craftsmen to inlay them on the mirror."

He said and laughed: "It's not a valuable thing, so I asked the little girl to play with it. Later I heard that the little girl liked it so much that she looked in the mirror every day, and it broke into pieces within three seconds. I even asked someone to give it to me as a gift. Seven or eight pieces of wood were inlaid in the past, why did this fall into your hands again?"

Those words completely overturned all Yuan Chen's guesses. I didn't expect that there was such a coincidence behind it.

In order to truly prove it, he shamelessly asked shopkeeper Hong to bring out the old books from his pawn shop and check them before returning.

Therefore, Cheng Xueyao did not lie to him.

It was entirely caused by his own taking for granted and his coyness in wanting to repay his kindness.

If he had told her clearly when he first learned that Cheng Xueyao had asked him to put such an opal on his fan pendant, there would have been no such misunderstandings.

Seeing that the person in front of him was stuck in the machine again, Xinnuo stretched out his hand and waved in front of him.

Although she didn't know what a stuck machine was.

"I was the one who threw the cat's eye stone back then. Am I so unbelievable?" Xin Nuo asked.

Yuan Chen came back to his senses, and a girl with a delicate and beautiful face appeared in front of her eyes. She had black hair and fair skin, and her lips were light pink. Her whole body exuded a moist beauty.

This was the first time that Yuan Chen recognized the beauty of this girl from the bottom of his heart.

She was so beautiful, and she was the opposite of Yao'er, so from the first moment he saw her, Yuan Chen didn't dare to indulge himself and take a closer look at her.

Only Yuan Chen knows how much of this is due to the fear that he will be impressed by her beauty and no longer side with Yao'er.

But now that he knew that the little girl from back then was actually the same person as this beautiful girl, he also didn't know what to do.

For Yao'er's wrong person, it is entirely his own responsibility.

Now they are an unmarried couple who are about to get engaged. Do I really want to cancel the engagement with her because of the change of benefactor?
If he really did that, Yuan Chen would feel like a villain.

But if he didn't do that, he would feel sorry for the girl in front of him.

Yuan Chen didn't dare to think about her, but he had often heard the maid next to Cheng Xueyao scolding her before. Without asking carefully, he knew that the relationship between the two was antagonistic.

When she was just born, Cheng Xueyao usurped her position as the second Miss Cheng. Later, she was mistaken for her as the one who had given her a favor and took more care of her.

It can be said that everything about Cheng Xueyao is "robbed" of her for one reason or another.

If he marries Yao'er in the future, wouldn't it be revenge for this true benefactor?
He didn't expect that he would have the opportunity to experience the bitter taste of the dilemma between loyalty and righteousness today.

Xin Nuo smiled bitterly at what the second senior brother had thought of, and then said to her seriously: "Second Miss Cheng, do you have any objections to my marriage to Xueyao?"

"No, no," Xinnuo waved his hand quickly, "You don't have to do this. The cat's eye stone back then was just a piece of cake for me."

You don’t have to commit yourself to it.

Yuan Chen laughed and said, "If you mind, I will not propose marriage to Xueyao." Even if he is a villain, he admits it.

"Don't you like her?" Xinnuo wondered, "You want to marry her just because you mistakenly thought that the cat's eye stone was given by her?"

Yuan Chen was stunned for a while, "I don't know. After all, from the beginning of our contact, I looked at her from the perspective of a savior. I only felt that she was kind-hearted and perfect. I just woke up today. Looking back on the past, it seems that everything was covered by a layer of I live my life with gauze covering my eyes."

Xinnuo unconsciously said in her mind: "I must have broken her heroine halo."

She smiled and said, "Really? But now you are Cheng Xueyao's life-saving straw. If you don't marry her, she doesn't know whether she will marry a wealthy family as a concubine, or she will marry someone from a peasant family that she despises." Raise your son to be your legal wife.”

Yuan Chen smiled bitterly.

However, he discovered that although this girl was not a bad person, she especially liked to tease people and would not be so polite to her enemies.

"So, you don't want me to get engaged to Xueyao?"

"No," Xin Nuo said loudly, "I don't care about her affairs. But the premise is that she doesn't take the initiative to provoke me."

From now on, she will still call this man Second Senior Brother. How could she leave such an ambiguous impression on him? The only person she likes is Senior Senior Brother.

The more I look at it, the more I like that.

Yuan Chen didn't react for a while. The embarrassment he felt just now seemed to be no longer necessary after her words.

He felt much more relaxed and said with a smile: "In the future, I will take her place and repay your kindness together."

Wow, after careful contact, the second senior brother is also such a good person.Do you really want him to marry that woman Cheng Xueyao?

Xinnuo felt that what he did to facilitate their marriage that day was a little unconscionable.

However, remembering that Cheng Xueyao had been instigating Xu Ruqing to surround her these days, she might not be willing to marry a person like her second senior brother who had disappeared from the official career.

So it's better not to remind him and let him slowly see Cheng Xueyao's true face.

Thinking like this, Xinnuo drank half a cup of tea, and then suggested to Yuan Chen: "Tea is better when boiled with milk."

She always drinks milk tea at home.

However, her grandfather was not very good at this. She drank milk tea so much that she still felt an itch about milk tea in her heart that had not been scratched.

The second senior brother has a Zhen Gourmet Pavilion under his name. Maybe the chef there can make milk tea to suit her taste.

Yuan Chen didn't know the girl's plan, but after hearing this, he secretly decided to ask the chef of Zhenxi Pavilion to make some milk tea in the future.
