CHAPTER 541: 477 UGH, ADULT RELATIONSHIPS ARE REALLY SO COMPLICATED!

Zhongli Wuzhi raised an eyebrow and picked up the meticulously woven ancient tan bracelet with a light laugh,

"You guys say... could this be their M country girls’ token of engagement?"

Zhongli Wuzhi spoke in a teasing tone, his voice clearly tinged with a hint of pride.

Song Lili immediately heightened her alertness, squinting at Zhongli Wuzhi,

"Zhongli, she is the Seventh Princess of M country. Don’t get the wrong idea."

Zhongli Wuzhi found Song Lili’s defensive look amusing,

"Lili, are you mistaken? It is your Seventh Princess who is having wild thoughts about me. Why aren’t you warning her instead of warning me?"

Song Lili felt somewhat stifled by Zhongli Wuzhi’s retort and hurriedly elbowed Wen Nian, signaling him to speak with Zhongli Wuzhi.

"Ahem..."

"What’s wrong, Ah Nian, caught a cold?"

Zhongli Wuzhi curved his lips into a smile, teasing.

"Chiluo, Chinian’s brother, is a friend of Lili and me, and you should know that in Chuihai, it was Prince Chiluo who risked danger to send us back to G country."

"Uh-huh."

"So... if you are not serious, don’t even think about targeting Chinian."

Zhongli Wuzhi weighed the wooden box in his hand, pondered for a while, and then said to Wen Nian and Song Lili,

"Then you guys help me return this to her."

"..."

This hot potato was the last thing Song Lili wanted to handle.

"You return it yourself."

Wen Nian said.

Zhongli Wuzhi glanced over Wen Nian and then swept his gaze over Song Lili, and chuckled lightly,

"Forget it, I’ll just keep it. This bracelet looks quite nice, I’ve decided to wear it all the time."

Having said that, Zhongli Wuzhi waved his hand and walked away briskly.

Song Lili wanted to stop him, but Zhongli Wuzhi was no longer paying attention to them.

She looked worriedly toward Wen Nian.

Wen Nian patted her back, "It’s okay, worrying too much is useless. Chinian has always been at the President Mansion. What can Zhongli do, right?"

Upon hearing this, Song Lili also breathed a sigh of relief.

However...

"Do you think Zhongli will really break up with Little Ear?"

"..."

Wen Nian rubbed his brow,

"I really don’t know. Ah Zhi has always been a free spirit. Being with Lu Xiaoer changed him a lot and he’s been repressing himself for a long time."

Song Lili sighed,

"I don’t want Little Ear and Zhongli Wuzhi to break up..."

"Hm?"

"Little Ear has always been a single-by-choice. It was Zhongli who made her open up to love, to accept a partner. Their future together is truly enviable..."

"..."

Wen Nian was surprised by the genuine envy in Song Lili’s words.

Then he felt pity.

Apparently, that Wen Nian had once made her suffer a lot.

"I also hope Little Ear can find her own happiness."

"They will be alright, at least I believe so."

Wen Nian said.

"When I have some time, I will have a talk with Little Ear. Maybe I can find out what the problem is between her and Zhongli."

"Sure."

The two headed back to their room, but Wen Nian hadn’t yet gotten the chance to hug his own daughter.

However, as soon as Wen Nian ascended the stairs, he caught a glimpse of a small figure at the corner of the staircase.

Song Lili didn’t notice and went into the room first.

Afterward, the small figure poked his head out and immediately waved Brother Wen Nian over, signaling him to come secretly.

Wen Nian was quite surprised...

He told Song Lili that he was going to the study to check a document and would be back soon.

Then he headed toward Wen Xun’s direction and followed Wen Xun into his room.

Once Wen Nian had entered, Wen Xun quickly went to shut the door and then pulled Wen Nian by the hand to sit beside the bed,

"Brother Wen Nian, you sit first."

"What’s the matter, Xiao Xun?"

Wen Xun took a deep breath, pulled up a stool to sit in front of Wen Nian with a worried expression, still hesitating...

Wen Nian smiled,

"I saw you were preoccupied at dinner, what’s troubling you?"

Wen Xun puffed up his cheeks, blinking his clear, large eyes, and looked at Wen Nian seriously,

"Brother Wen Nian... I want to tell you..."

"Yes."

"You must be good to Sister, know?"

"..."

Wen Nian’s eyebrows raised high, genuinely not understanding why the youngster would say this, "Did... Lili say something to you?"

"Sister Lili didn’t tell me anything."

"Then what do you mean by saying this? When have I ever not been good to your sister?"

"I mean, you have to be even better to Sister or... someone else might steal her away."

"..."

After Wen Xun said this, Wen Nian’s expression became a bit more serious.

He held Wen Nian’s hand, sighed, and said word by word, "Brother Wen Nian, we’re both men, so I will definitely stand by your side! I will definitely help you!"

"..."

Wen Nian was serious one second, and the next he almost laughed at Wen Xun’s statement.

"Brother Wen Nian! I’m really being serious when I’m telling you this."

"... Mmm, I’m also listening very seriously."

"But you look like you’re not worried at all..." Wen Xun let go of Wen Nian’s hand, showing an expression that seemed to say the child couldn’t be taught.

"Xiao Xun, when you grow up, you’ll understand why I’m not worried."

"Yes, I know you and Sister trust each other and love each other, but I heard Sister say... although we like each other we can’t be together, but our time together is sincere."

Wen Xun said it so earnestly.

Wen Nian was taken aback.

What does it mean, although we like each other we can’t be together, but our time together is sincere...

Suddenly, the face of Lu Ziqing popped into Wen Nian’s mind!

Damn!

Lu Ziqing’s presence really was a threat to him for a long time, such that even now, he occasionally still has doubts.

Seeing a flicker of panic finally cross Wen Nian’s face, Wen Xun hastened to say,

"But Brother Ah Nian, I believe Sister still loves you! But if one day you’re not good to her, she could easily be taken by someone else! You need to always be aware of the risk!"

Wen Xun spoke with utmost seriousness, which was unexpected from a ten-year-old boy.

"Can you tell me who Sister was talking about?"

Since Wen Xun could imitate it so well, Song Lili must have said it.

Wen Xun was a bit troubled; he knew Brother Zhongli and Brother Wen Nian were good friends,

"Ah, the relationships among you adults are really too complicated!"

"..."

Wen Nian was somewhat suspicious.

Wen Xun took a deep breath, about to speak, when the door was pushed open,

"I wonder if the person my darling younger brother is talking about is Brother Zhongli Wuzhi?"

Song Lili folded her arms across her chest, leaning against the door, watching the two inside the room with a cheerful smile...
