After hearing her gossip, all the civil and military officials went crazy.

Chapter 220 He likes you
The two of them are a little different.

[What's different? And you said Wu Baixuan's identity is different, isn't he a child of the Wu family?]

[You could say he's from the Wu family of Ningzhou. Because your emperor's father was killed along with his entire clan, leaving only this sole heir, he was rescued by the current Wu family and raised in their home. But the two of them share the same name.]

[What? I don't quite understand! What does it mean?]

Fang Lingchu felt like her brain was about to be eaten away.

I felt completely dizzy.

This network of relationships is so complicated!
Fang Lingyan was completely bewildered, forced to listen to so much from the sidelines.

but?

What do you mean by saying they all use the same name?

What does it mean?
Did she always like two people?
Impossible, she...

[This means that the Wu family on the northern border helped the Wu family in Ningzhou hide this child. The Wu family on the northern border only had one child, and the lineage had always been one-child, so the two children could only share one name.]

Because your emperor's father was worried about the Wu family, he left the children in Ducheng. Since it was quieter here, he left the children here, so the two of them became good friends with your sister.

The original Wu Baixuan was in poor health and could only stay at home most of the time. He could only go out to play and bring things from outside when the other Wu Baixuan came out.

Once, when Wu Baixuan went out, your sister made him bleed, and then the two of them left. Your sister always thought it was her fault for driving away her companion.

Later, I heard about the story of Wu Baixuan and his sister. Your sister thought Wu Baixuan died because of her, and she didn't know who she should like, so she was very conflicted.

Fang Lingchu felt a headache coming on as she listened!
[Does your sister know now?]

[You probably don't know! Actually, the person who has always protected her is this one now. The person that Wu Baixuan originally liked was actually...]

【What? 】

The person he likes is you.

【what? 】

Fang Lingchu was dumbfounded.

How come I have absolutely no memory of this?

The system then knows that the host has forgotten.

[Host, have you forgotten? Once you sneaked out to eat some melon seeds and ended up in the house of an incredibly cute guy, right?]

I don't remember, I have no recollection of it!

[I knew it! That day you sneaked into his house and saw him taking his medicine. His pretty face was all scrunched up like a little pretzel, and you thought it looked awful, so you gave him candy.]

[Really? Why don't I remember it at all?]

【Host……】

Extremely loud.

Okay, okay, so that's why he likes me?

No, it's just that you're always gossiping and cheerful, like a little sun, and he likes that.

Oh, and then? He? He's already dead.

[Yes, she's already dead. So now Wu Baixuan is just one person, but he carries the honor of two families on his shoulders. That's why he didn't dare approach your sister when he first came back.]

Why is he proposing to my sister again now?

Upon hearing this, Fang Lingyan recalled the scene from that day.

"Miss Fang, I like you. May I go to the Fang family to propose marriage?"

Looking at Fang Lingyan's handsome face, Yun Kang confidently waved his fan, revealing what he thought was his most dashing face.

Fang Lingyan stared at the man in front of her, her mind going blank for a moment.

He looked rather silly, and with his face red from the sun, he looked like he was shy because he had been confessed to.

Seeing her like this, Yun Kang became even more confident. "Yan Yan, I know you've liked me for a long time. You've been secretly observing me, but I feel that confessing is something we men should do, so here I am, Yan Yan."

Before Fang Lingyan could even react, the man opposite her was knocked down by Wu Baixuan.

"Who do you think you are, to say that the daughter of a high-ranking official likes you, when you can't even beat her in an exam?"

After saying that, Wu Baixuan threw another punch.

Fang Lingyan realized what was happening and quickly went over to pull the person up.

She glanced at Wu Baixuan, then looked at the man below and said, "I'm sorry, Young Master Yun, my fiancé was too reckless. Did he hurt you? Someone, take Young Master Yun to the clinic."

"Yes, miss"

The girl behind him had long since grown tired of this disgusting man.

As expected, it damaged their young lady's reputation, so Miss Chu said she didn't care, but a woman's reputation is still very important.

Wu Baixuan, who was behind her, was completely stunned. What had she just said?
"Yan Yan..."

Fang Lingyan pulled the person to a quiet place and said, "I'm sorry, it was all in a moment of panic. I hope Young Master Wu won't take offense."

A flicker of disappointment crossed Wu Baixuan's eyes, but he still said, "It's alright, I understand."

Fang Lingyan didn't say anything, but a fleeting look of disappointment crossed her eyes.

"Thank you, Young Master Wu. Then..."

Before Fang Lingyan could finish speaking, her mouth was grabbed, and at the same time she saw Wu Baixuan's enlarged eyes.

Their surprised eyes widened considerably.

Looking at her like this, Wu Baixuan's eyes were overflowing with affection.

Fang Lingyan's ears were filled with Wu Baixuan's warm breath.

"Yan Yan, will you marry me?"

Fang Lingyan was stunned once again upon hearing this.

My brain isn't working properly.

Why did Wu Baixuan suddenly confess his feelings to me?

Fang Lingyan wanted to turn around and run away, but her legs wouldn't obey her commands.

They didn't even immediately pull the hand off the mouth.

"Yan Yan, I know it's not good to say this now, but my time is running out. I don't want you to marry someone else. I want to be brave and try to have a chance to be with you. You can think about it. When you've made up your mind, fly a red kite by the window. If you don't agree, fly a white one. I will respect your choice."

After saying this, Wu Baixuan disappeared instantly.

Fang Lingyan wasn't even given a chance to say a word.

……

[So, host, your sister is probably feeling quite ashamed, and she doesn't know who she likes, whether the other person likes her back, or if he died because of her. All of this is causing your sister a lot of pain.]

The system's words brought Fang Lingyan back to reality, and she looked at the jade pendant in her hand.

Is that my sister's problem?

No, the other Wu Baixuan already didn't have much time left, and your sister's appearance showed him a different side of people, which made him happy for a long time.

So he likes my sister?

I already said, he likes you, not your sister.

Oh, okay, I believe my sister will figure it out.

Fang Lingchu glanced at her sister, who had her head down, but said nothing.

It's best for her to handle this herself; it's not appropriate for her to say anything.
