Chapter 770 Su Wuming 69

He spoke slowly, with a hint of hesitation in his tone: "Actually, there is something else I want to tell you."

"What's the matter?" Chu Hua blinked, her face full of curiosity.

"Lu Lingfeng... wants me to send Xijun back to Chang'an." When Su Wuming said this, a complex emotion flashed in his eyes.

"Oh? Why does he do this?" Chu Huan raised her eyebrows, interested.

Su Wuming slowly explained that Lu Lingfeng was worried that Xijun living under the same roof with them might cause unnecessary gossip and damage her reputation.

Su Wuming's voice slowly revealed Lu Lingfeng's considerations. Chu Huan frowned slightly, and a hint of thought flashed in her eyes.

"You're worrying too much, aren't you? How could Xijun's reputation be damaged?"

"In this era, a girl's reputation is very important, especially the daughters of officials." Su Wuming said seriously, trying his best to make his tone sound steady.

"Lu Lingfeng's worries are not without reason."

Chu Hua pondered over Lu Lingfeng's various behaviors, and the more she thought about it, the more she felt that something was wrong. Although he looked cold and domineering on the outside, there was a hint of tenderness in his eyes that was unknown to others.

She couldn't help but whispered, "Susu, do you think Lu Lingfeng has any special feelings for Xijun?"

Su Wuming was thinking about Lu Lingfeng's proposal. When he heard Chu Hua's question, he paused, his eyes drifting away. After thinking for a moment, he said, "He... maybe wants to protect her because of his reputation?"

"Protect?" Chu Hua said with disdain.

"I think he has feelings in his heart but doesn't dare to express them. Think about it, Lu Lingfeng is so proud, how could he not have any thoughts in his heart? He obviously likes Xijun, but he asked me to send her back to Chang'an. Isn't he afraid of being seen as a sentimental person by others?"

Su Wuming looked thoughtful, then nodded and admitted: "Indeed... He is sometimes hard to understand. However, I think he does this for her own good."

"Tsk, what a stubborn guy." Chu Hua shook her head helplessly, but a smile appeared unconsciously at the corner of her mouth.

"Now that you're interested, do you think Lu Lingfeng really likes Xijun?" Su Wuming asked calmly, with a hint of inquiry in his eyes.

"Of course, otherwise why would he be so cautious?" Chu Hua said as she looked up at the sky in the distance. The breeze gently brushed across her face, as if explaining the truth in her heart.

"Think about it, what is it like to like someone? You always think about her and consider her in every way. Even if you don't want to admit it, you still care about everything about her."

Su Wuming couldn't help laughing as he watched Chu Hua analyzing seriously. He reached out and gently scratched her nose: "You, at such a young age, speak as if you are very experienced."

Chu Hua glared back at him, not wanting to be outdone, and slapped his hand away: "What? Are you looking down on me? I've read countless romance novels, and I have much more experience in this area than you do!"

Su Wuming was amused by her confident look, and the smile in his eyes deepened: "Yes, yes, Huan'er is well-read and knows everything."

Chu Hua thought about it and suggested, "Let's ask Xijun what he thinks first." She paused and added, "After all, this is her own business, and we should respect her choice."

Finally, she added: "See what she thinks, it's not too late to make a decision."

……

When Chu Hua and Su Wuming found Pei Xijun, she was facing the drawing board, drawing something with a focused look. Chu Hua walked lightly behind her and took a look - on the drawing board, there was Lu Lingfeng dancing with a sword. Chu Hua laughed out loud.

Chu Hua's smile startled Pei Xijun. She turned around suddenly and saw Chu Hua and Su Wuming. Her face flushed and she tried to cover the drawing board in a panic.

"Why are you here? You walk without making any sound..."

Chu Hua laughed even more happily, pointing at the drawing board and jokingly said, "Oh, you are drawing so seriously, if you don't know me, you would think you are drawing some handsome man!"

Pei Xijun's ears turned red with embarrassment, and he stammered, "No...no, I was just drawing casually..."

Su Wuming looked at Pei Xijun's shy look and couldn't help but smile. He said softly, "Xijun, don't be shy. You draw very well."

Chu Huan came over and carefully examined Lu Lingfeng on the drawing board, praising him: "The muscle lines, the expression in his eyes, wow, it's so lifelike, it's exactly like Lu Lingfeng himself!"

Pei Xijun was not so shy after Chu Hua teased her. She mustered up her courage and said, "I just thought that General Lu looked very heroic when he danced with a sword, so I drew him."

"Heroic and heroic? I think you have a crush on him?" Chu Hua smiled wickedly and gently nudged Pei Xijun's arm with her elbow.

Pei Xijun's face turned even redder, like a ripe apple, and he said angrily, "Chu Hua, if you make fun of me again, I will ignore you!"

Chu Hua stopped talking when she saw that she was going well, and waved her hands, saying, "Okay, okay, I won't tease you anymore. Let's be serious. We came to you to ask you, what do you think about Lu Lingfeng sending you back to Chang'an?"

Pei Xijun's eyes widened, his face blank, as if he didn't understand Chu Hua's question. "Send me back to Chang'an? Why would Lu Lingfeng send me back to Chang'an?"

Chu Huan and Su Wuming exchanged glances and saw a hint of helplessness in each other's eyes.

"Cough cough."

Chu Huan cleared her throat and decided to get straight to the point: "Of course I'm worried that living with these grown men will affect your reputation and make it difficult for you to get married in the future..."

Pei Xijun was stunned, like a little rabbit that had its acupuncture points pressed, and she didn't move. She blinked her big eyes, looked at Chu Hua, then at Su Wuming, and it took her a while to react. Her face suddenly turned red, more like a ripe apple than before, and blood could drip out.

"W…what? Who…who is worried about me?"

"Who else could it be? Of course it's our wise and brave General Lu!" Chu Hua made faces and spoke in an exaggerated tone as if she was singing an opera.

"Even so, you can't chase me away! Besides, there are not only men here, and there is also Sister Chu Hua. Why is he worrying about nothing?" Pei Xijun was quite unconvinced.

Chu Huan was laughing secretly on the side. This little girl said that she didn't care, but the sourness in her tone could be smelled from ten miles away.

Su Wuming coughed lightly, trying to ease the atmosphere: "Ms. Xijun, Lu Lingfeng also has good intentions..."

"Good intentions? I think he's trying to pick a fight on purpose!"

Pei Xijun interrupted Su Wuming and said angrily: "He just doesn't like me and wants to drive me away!"

"Alas, Xijun, what you said is wrong." Chu Huan smiled and tried to smooth things over.

"Although Ling Feng looks careless, he is actually very thoughtful. He is probably worried that it is unsafe for a girl like you to travel around with us. He is also afraid that Minister Pei will worry."

Su Wuming pondered for a moment and said, "Ms. Xijun, I have an idea that may solve this problem."

Chu Hua and Pei Xijun both looked at him curiously, waiting for him to continue.

Su Wuming smiled slightly and said, "How about Miss Xijun and I become sworn brothers and sisters?"

"Siblings?" Pei Xijun and Chu Hua said in unison, both of them were stunned.

Su Wuming explained seriously, "Miss Chu Hua has misunderstood. I just think that this way, Miss Xijun can stay in the team legitimately and Lu Lingfeng will not have to worry about it. Isn't that the best of both worlds?"

Pei Xijun also came back to her senses. She carefully thought about Su Wuming's proposal and felt that it seemed... not impossible.

"Great! This way, I don't have to go back to Chang'an!" She turned to look at Chu Huan, her eyes sparkling.

"Sister Chuhua, we are sisters from now on!"

Chu Hua hadn't recovered from Su Wuming's sudden action yet. When Pei Xijun called her, she forced out a smile: "Ah... yes, we'll be sisters from now on."

She secretly glanced at Su Wuming. What on earth was this man up to?

Su Wuming looked normal. He turned to Chu Huan and said gently, "Huan'er, what do you think?"

Of course Chu Hua felt it was great, it couldn’t be better!

"Okay, okay! It's settled!" Chu Huan clapped her hands in pretend excitement, but she was actually very happy in her heart.

"Xijun, from now on you are my sister! I will protect you!"

Pei Xijun also happily held Chu Hua's hand, smiling with curved eyebrows and eyes: "That's great! Thank you sister Chu Hua, and thank you brother!"

The next day, Su Wuming hosted a banquet at Sima Mansion to entertain the governor and the chief secretary.

"...I've thought about it and thought that it should be a farewell banquet for Miss Xijun. Why do they say it's a wedding banquet?" Lu Lingfeng looked at the table full of dishes, puzzled.

"Who said Xijun is leaving? Today's wedding banquet is specially prepared for Xijun." When Su Wuming said this, Lu Lingfeng almost spit out the tea in his mouth. He widened his eyes, looked at Su Wuming, and then looked at Pei Xijun.

"Su Wuming, what...what do you mean by this?" Lu Lingfeng asked stutteringly, feeling something was wrong in his heart.

Su Wuming smiled slightly and pretended to be mysterious: "Today is the auspicious day when Miss Xijun and I become sworn brothers and sisters, so we naturally have to celebrate it well."

"Sworn... sworn brothers and sisters?" Lu Lingfeng felt that his brain was a little confused. He looked at Su Wuming, then at Pei Xijun, and then at Chu Huan who had a calm face. He felt that there must be something fishy going on.

"What? You don't agree with Xijun and I becoming sworn siblings?" Su Wuming raised his eyebrows and looked at Lu Lingfeng with a smile, a hint of cunning in his eyes.

Lu Lingfeng was choked by Su Wuming's sudden question. He opened his mouth but couldn't say anything for a long time. Disagree? What qualifications did he have to disagree?

"When did this happen?" Lu Lingfeng looked at Su Wuming, his tone full of disbelief.
