Did the eldest daughter ascend the throne today?

Chapter 515 Extra: Confession

Under the big tree, Ye Xiao took a deep breath, his face flushed, and he hesitated for a long time, "Brother Xiao, I... do you know how I feel about you?"

Xiao Linfeng's eyes fell on the dense tree trunks, "I don't know."

The tone was distant and cold.

Ye Xiao's face changed, but things had come to this point, she didn't want to back down anymore, success or failure depended on this one move.

She mustered up the greatest courage in her life and said, "I am pleased with you."

She had liked him for a long time but had never dared to express her feelings. She was afraid that he would refuse her and drive her away, and she would no longer have a home.

Xiao Linfeng withdrew his gaze and fell on Ye Xiao's face. Ye Xiao's heart was beating so fast that he was breathless due to nervousness.

"I only treat you as my sister."

Ye Xiao's heart thumped to the ground, his face pale, "Just a sister? I thought I was special to you."

Over the years, she was the only one who could stay by his side and be taken care of by him.

But the so-called care was just him saying a word, and the servants would naturally take care of it.

Xiao Linfeng was not a dull person, it was impossible that he hadn't noticed anything at all, but since the other party hadn't pointed it out explicitly, how could he refuse in person?

You can't just grab her and say, "I don't like you, stop being so sentimental."

"Your brother saved me. I will protect you and find you a good match."

Ye Xiao's eyes turned red, "Why can't you marry me?"

Xiao Linfeng said calmly, "I don't want to marry a woman I don't like."

Ye Xiao felt a sharp pain in his heart, "Do you have someone you like?"

"Yes." Xiao Linfeng was straightforward, without any hesitation.

Only by being ruthless enough can you stop her from thinking about it and leave her no hope at all. This will be good for everyone.

Ye Xiao couldn't help but ask, who can win his favor? "Who is it? Do I know him?"

Xiao Linfeng frowned, and his tone became a little colder, "You ask too many questions."

Ye Xiao's face lost all color, "Sorry, I was rude."

She also has her self-respect, and since he refuses, she won't pester him or make him entangled.

Watching her leaving in a daze, Xiao Linfeng shook his head and sighed silently. Love is really troublesome.

Suddenly, he looked behind the tree and shouted coldly, "Who is it? Come out."

A figure came out from behind the tree and waved, "It's me."

It was midsummer and there was no embarrassment at all about accidentally hearing other people's privacy.

Xiao Linfeng glanced at her and was confused. "Why are you hiding behind the tree?"

Shengxia was also helpless. Did she want to hear it? "I came here first. Can you observe the surroundings before you talk about things? Don't worry, I didn't see or hear anything."

Xiao Linfeng pursed his lips, not knowing what he was thinking of. "What... do you think?"

Shengxia looked at him strangely, "Ideas? When can we make the wool blanket and when can we sell it? I want the most perfect finished product, the kind that people can't bear to blink at. That will be a killer weapon to the Silk Road."

Xiao Linfeng just wanted to test it out, she probably wouldn't tell Ning Zhiwei.

I didn't expect her answer to be so serious and so magical, "How can a blanket become a killer weapon?"

Shengxia glanced at him, as if wondering why he was so stupid. "I have it, but others don't, so I can do something fancy and think of ways to drive up the price. To put it bluntly, war is all about competing for interests, and the same goal can be achieved through economic means."

Xiao Linfeng was stunned. After thinking about it carefully, he felt that it made some sense. "Are you going to extend your tentacles to the Western Region? I'm afraid Ning Ba won't be happy about it."

Over the years, he and Ning Ba have had a pleasant cooperation and shared what they have. As the King of the Western Regions, Ning Ba has all 36 countries under his control, which is truly a glorious time.

Sheng Xia snorted coldly, "Who cares? The interests of our Dayong come first."

She only cares about Dayong and the emperor. Ning Ba is just an expelled member of the royal family. If he hinders the interests of Dayong, she will not be polite.

"I hope you think so, too."

Xiao Linfeng raised his eyebrows. They were all smart people, so how could they not understand the meaning of her words? "Of course, I am from Dayong."

Shengxia looked at him and said, "I'm glad that we have reached a unified agreement. Let's cooperate well in the future."

On the other side, Ye Xiao hid herself among the green plants, tears streaming down her face. Sadness, grief and grievance surged into her heart.

Since Brother Xiao doesn't like her, she has nothing.

A clear voice sounded, "Are you crying?"

Ye Xiao shuddered all over and subconsciously wiped her tears with her sleeve, "No, there's just sand in my eyes."

She looked over and saw that incredibly beautiful little girl.

The little girl blinked her eyes, her distinct black and white eyes were extremely bright, "Sister, I once heard a saying that daughters should be self-reliant, I give it to you."

"When you become strong, all the men in the world will revolve around you."

She has a mature tone, but with a childish face, there is a kind of contrast.

Ye Xiao wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, "Who said that?"

The little girl raised her eyebrows proudly, "Hehe, my mother."

Maybe Ye Xiao had been holding it in for too long. Looking at this innocent little girl, he couldn't help but say one more sentence, "But I just want him to look at me more and become my family."

The little girl wrinkled her nose in disdain, "You have no ambition. You should think like this. If you ignore me today, I will make you out of reach tomorrow."

Her mother showed her a book with a lot of interesting contents, which was said to be written by a woman named Lin Jingshu.

Ye Xiao: ...

Where did this child come from? He is so arrogant, I don't know who he learned it from.

However, after being interrupted by her, Ye Xiao felt much better. "I don't have such great ability. I will never be able to surpass him in this life."

The little girl smiled sweetly, "Things change over time. Things may change over time."

When Ye Xiao thought of Xiao Linfeng, her heart ached and tears rolled down uncontrollably.

She forced herself to let it go, but after so many years of relationship, how could she just let it go?

The little girl looked at her strangely. Why are you crying again? If this man is not good enough, why not change him? Why hang yourself on a tree?

"Don't cry, just follow me from now on."

She wants to have a little brother to play with, oh no, a little sister.

Her tone was so funny that Ye Xiao was amused. "Puchi, you are so smart, how old are you?"

The little girl looked at her crying and laughing, and was silent for a moment, "What's wrong with being young? You should ask my last name."

Ye Xiao was obsessed with looks and liked this pretty girl very much. He followed her wishes and asked, "What's your last name?"

The little girl only said one word, "Ning."

Ye Xiao was stunned. Ning? Guo's surname? "Are you from the royal family?!"

The little girl kept sighing. She was a little stupid. What should she do?
