Chapter 463 Sharp and Shrewd Little Niece
After hearing Cen Xiqin's words, she was hit again! Why? Why does it feel like Uncle San doesn't like her very much!
Cen Xiqin said aggrievedly: "Okay, that third uncle and sixth sister, I will say goodbye first."
Cen Xiqin is a very smart girl, so naturally she could see that Cen Lan is different to Cen Xiyan. Just say that yesterday, Cen Lan met with everyone in the Cen family and was quite cold to others, but she had obviously different attitudes towards Cen Xiyan.
Although she couldn't understand why Cen Lan was so special to Cen Xiyan, it was not the time to explore it now, so she was tactful and asked nothing and was about to say goodbye and left.
Cen Xiyan nodded at Cen Xiqin and said, "Then Seventh Sister, please go back first."
After Cen Xiqin left, only Cen Lan and Cen Xiyan were left in the hall.
Cen Lan looked at Cen Xiyan with a long-lasting look of nostalgia, and she didn't speak for a long time.
In the end, Cen Xiyan couldn't stand Cen Lan's eyes and took the lead in breaking the silence, "Uncle San, are you here to find me, do you have anything else to tell me?"
Cen Lan finally came to her senses, smiled gently at Cen Xiyan, and said, "You look very much like your mother."
Cen Xiyan didn't expect that Cen Lan's first sentence when she came here today was like this. She was slightly stunned for a moment, and then said, "Uncle San said, do I look very much like my mother?"
Cen Lan nodded, "Yes, it's very similar."
When he saw the girl who had just entered the hairpin in front of him, he couldn't help but think of her mother.
"Oh." Cen Xiyan was not surprised. From the eyes of Cen Ao and Cen Lan, she guessed that she should look very similar to the biological mother with this body. She paused, suddenly looked directly into Cen Lan's eyes and asked, "Uncle San is very familiar with my mother?"
When Cen Lan heard this, she was stunned for a moment, and then said, "Of course I am familiar with you." After living in the same family for several years, how could she not be familiar with you?
He hadn't reacted at all, and Cen Xiyan asked what the meaning of this sentence was.
Cen Xiyan looked directly at Cen Lan and asked again: "How familiar are you?"
It was not until then that Cen Lan realized that Cen Xiyan's attitude was wrong. He frowned slightly and asked, "Xiyan, what do you mean?"
Cen Xiyan didn't beat around the bush and said directly: "My mother, although she is just my father's concubine, she is still half of Uncle San's sister-in-law? Uncle San seems to pay attention to my mother very much? Does Uncle San think this is appropriate? Even though she has passed away for many years now, if there is something, we should not be completely careless and don't care..."
Cen Xiyan really doesn't want Cen Lan to have any ulterior motives with her mother, because if that's the case, it would definitely be a scandal of the Cen family! The Cen family may not be able to do anything to Cen Lan, but they must not tolerate Gu Tinglan. The cause of Gu Tinglan's death back then was too intriguing.
Cen Xiyan's words were very merciless, which made Cen Lan feel very embarrassed and a look of embarrassment appeared on her face.
He was silent for a moment, looked at Cen Xiyan, and said seriously: "Do you doubt that I have any inappropriate relationship with your mother?"
Cen Xiyan and Cen Lan looked at each other with a calm expression, but their words were still sharp. "Uncle San's performance is easy to make people misunderstand this way, right?"
Cen Lan was silent for a moment, then sighed and confessed: "Yes, your mother is the woman I like, but there is no relationship between us that transcends the boundaries you imagine."
"Oh." Cen Xiyan felt a little relieved, but said: "Even if he had a crush, Uncle San should pay attention. Although my mother has passed away for many years, I think Uncle San should also consider more for her reputation, the reputation of the Cen family, and your own reputation. Uncle San, what do you think?"
Cen Xiyan was so sharp that Cen Lan could not resist it. He never expected that this girl who looked calm and quiet would be so sharp and merciless.
He looked embarrassed and speechless for a long time before saying, "It's Uncle San who has no thoughts. I will pay attention in the future..." He paused and sighed, "Your mother is no longer alive. Don't worry, I won't say anything to others and damage your mother's reputation. However, Xiyan, you don't have to be so careful about Uncle San, right? I am your elder, and I care about you. This is a very normal thing."
Cen Xiyan understood that Cen Lan was special to him. To put it bluntly, it was just because of her mother's empathy.
"Xiyan is not an ungrateful person. Of course, I can accept the care of my elders for me." Cen Xiyan looked at Cen Lan and said calmly.
In fact, this is polite, but very distant. He said that he was accepting the care of his elders, and that he was hinting to Cen Lan not to treat her too differently from the other young masters of the Cen family.
Cen Lan naturally heard what Cen Xiyan said. His eyes darkened slightly, but soon returned to normal. He changed the subject and asked, "Are you doing well outside these years?"
Cen Xiyan nodded and said bluntly: "It's not bad, it's more comfortable than being in the mansion."
Hearing Cen Xiyan's straightforward truth, Cen Lan couldn't help laughing, "You speak directly."
Cen Xiyan curled the corners of his lips and said deliberately: "Don't you think that my temperament is not likable?"
"No." Cen Lan shook her head and said, "You are so good. It's much more real than many reserved and noble ladies in this capital." Speaking of this, Cen Lan's expression suddenly became serious and said, "But, you can't forget it in front of Uncle San, but don't be like this in front of everyone. It's too straightforward, it's easy to offend people, and it's easy to attract villains, and you will suffer losses."
Cen Xiyan looked at Cen Lan's eyes and carefully observed his expression. After judging that what Cen Lan said really thought so, and was seriously admonishing her to be good for her.
The expression on her face suddenly eased a little, and she said, "Thank you for your advice, Xi Yan knows."
At this time, Cen Lan thought for a while and said, "I didn't stop you from the mansion. I also thought that you are outside the mansion and you are hard, but after all, you will live a more comfortable life, and life may not be more sad than being in the mansion..."
Cen Xiyan couldn't help but raise her eyebrows when she heard this. Why, Cen Lan also felt that if she grew up in Cen's house, wouldn't life be better? Or... it may not be possible to live long, right?!
A concubine who has no mother and is not paid attention to by her father and grandmother, lives in the mansion as a unimaginable life, and there are many people in the mansion who are hostile to her. At that time, Miss Cen Liu was too young and a child who has no ability to protect herself was really possible.
But even after leaving Cen's mansion, it turned out that Miss Cen Liu had not escaped the disaster. She fell off a cliff on the way to Qingyuan Town, her soul returned to the west and was possessed by her soul in another world...
Of course, this is her most secret thing, she will not tell Cen Lan, this is her biggest secret. Even Mo Xianyun, she never thought of telling him to know...
Cen Lan chatted with Cen Xiyan for a while, mostly asking about her life outside, but Cen Xiyan didn't tell Cen Lan too much, only saying that she had been in Qingyuan Town, and she lived a good life, very comfortable, etc.
Cen Xiyan has too many secrets and cannot tell many things to Cen Lan. Moreover, she is afraid that she will say too much, so that Cen Lan will notice something.
After all, she is a person who travels through another world. Moreover, she has traveled around the world over the years and has a wide range of knowledge. Her experience and vision are incomparable to those noble girls living in high-ranking houses.
Cen Xiyan could see again that Cen Lan is a very keen man. He has also been away for many years and has extraordinary knowledge. If he talks too much, if he notices something, it would be a more troublesome thing.
The conversation between the two almost broke out several times. It can be said that Cen Lan was always looking for conversation, and Cen Xiyan responded politely and alienatedly.
Cen Lan sighed inwardly, this little girl is very cautious about him!
But this is good. Such a sharp and smart girl can live in such a cannibal mansion, and will not suffer any losses, so she can protect herself better.
As for him, the future is long, he believes that he will have a good relationship with this little niece.
Before leaving Jinglan Pavilion, Cen Lan took out a small wooden box from her arms and handed it to Cen Xiyan, saying, "When you were in the hairpin, Uncle San did not come back. This is the hairpin gift from Uncle San, I hope you will like it."
Cen Xiyan took the box and opened it. It turned out to be a jade seal. She picked it up and turned it over. She saw four beautiful seal characters engraved on it, "Xiyan Small Seal".
Cen Lan looked at Cen Xiyan with anticipation, hoping that she would show joy, but he was destined to be disappointed, because Cen Xiyan's face was as calm as ever, and there was no change in expression.
"Is this what you carved by Uncle San?" Cen Xiyan took the seal and enjoyed it for a while, then looked up and asked Cen Lan.
Cen Lan nodded immediately and said, "Yes, the skills are average, Xiyan should not be disgusted."
This is of course a modest statement. In the capital, the seal of the third master of the Cen family was hard to find. Even people from a large family were not easy to ask Cen Lan for a seal.
"Thank you, Uncle San, I like it very much." Cen Xiyan said politely and took the seal back into the box.
In fact, in her opinion, the seal carving skills are good, but they can only be considered an amateur level. Compared with those master-level disciples of Yuanyin, it is still incomparable, but Cen Lan's intention is a must.
When Cen Xiyan said she liked it, Cen Lan immediately felt relieved, and a gentle smile appeared on Jun's face.
Cen Xiyan looked at Cen Lan and suddenly asked with a smile: "Uncle San, I have more than one girl in Cen's mansion. Could it be that you have only prepared a gift for me?"
When Cen Lan heard this, a hint of embarrassment suddenly appeared on her face and said, "I can repair it even if it's Xiqin..."
He did only prepare a gift. It should be said that he had forgotten that Cen Xiqin had also been in the forefront this year. It seems that he has to make another gift quickly.
Cen Xiqin didn’t know about this. If she knew about it, she would probably be hit by Cen Lan again!
