Jiu Ge’s Beloved Spirit

"You treat her as your sister now, can you guarantee that when she grows up in the future, you will also treat her as your sister?"

"Of course." Mr. Pei, who has always been a talkative man, raised his cold white chin slightly, his lips were light-colored, and he spoke like a gentleman.

"The relationship between us is not as bad as you think, Sister. She is just a child to me. As an elder, Sister, what can I do to her?"

Pei Guanlan's eyes were sharp, "If you can't do anything now, in the future... can you guarantee it?"

"..." He paused, his eyes dark, and he looked directly at her.

"What I care about is that I am afraid that I will get too close to her, which will arouse the queen's alarm and attract criticism from others. Instead, she will put herself at a disadvantage and give the queen a chance to attack, but... ...If I promise my sister that none of this will happen, will she still have such a big reaction?"

Pei Guanlan choked.

After a while, she said: "You know what's going on, okay, then I won't ask any questions. You do what you say, just treat her like your sister."

"But, why her?"

"If you want a sister, just find one from the family members. You can have as many as you want. You can call your brother in line. Why did you find an outsider to be your sister? What did she do? Do you like her so much?"

"..." He turned his face slightly, with an innocent yet cold profile, neither salty nor indifferent, and replied: "There is no special reason. The little girl is very sensible. Isn't it normal to be liked?"

...It's normal to like people, but to please him...

Not normal at all.

Pei Guanlan always felt that there was something between them. Although he denied it, he said it openly and aboveboard.

But what was actually there - he didn't want to say it, and she couldn't force it out.

Forcing him will only make him more disgusted.

With a clear mind, she thought for a moment, then changed her soothing tone and continued:

"Only you know what you are thinking. If it is true as you said, you should also pay attention to your sense of propriety and not cross the line and attract unnecessary criticism."

"You are a man, so you are not afraid of these things. You have been used to being scolded over the years. It doesn't matter if you are scolded more or less. But that girl is different. After all, she is still young and is the daughter of a daughter who has not yet left the court. Family, if this kind of criticism is caused, do you know how much pressure she will be under?"

"..." He didn't answer. He had a calm expression and it was hard to tell what he was thinking.

But Pei Guanlan knew that he should have listened.

If he really cared about Yun Si, he would listen.

At least, he should not be arrogant, but should know how to behave and abide by the etiquette between men and women.

She continued: "We both know the horror of rumors, especially to a daughter's family, it is even more fatal."

"You can be indifferent and love her as your own sister, but others don't think so. What's more, she is the future daughter-in-law chosen by the queen. If she knows that her daughter-in-law is entangled with you, the queen will be particularly vindictive. Think about it, if she knew about it, how would Yun Si be treated by her?"

"..." Still silent.

He didn't respond, his thoughts unclear.

After a while, he said: "Sister, what I said is that I didn't think carefully."

I really listened to it.

Pei Guanlan was a little surprised.

I didn't expect him to listen so easily.
