Xie YanYu and Ji Chengfeng were somewhat surprised, not expecting her to run away on her own and still meet her cousin.
"Such a fate indeed." Xie YanYu reluctantly lifted his spirits and said to Chen Xixi, who still had tears in her eyes, "Greetings, cousin. Thank you for taking care of Wanwan during this time."
Xie Wanqing felt a bit embarrassed. She was the elder sister, yet when her brother spoke of her, she was still like a child.
On the other side, Ji Chengfeng remembered Chen Xixi's plea moments ago and asked, "Is Scholar Li your husband?"
"Yes!" Chen Xixi hurriedly replied, "My husband is a gentleman as clear as the wind and bright as the moon, definitely not someone of evil deeds. Please see clearly!"
As she spoke, she wanted to kneel again.
"No need for such formalities," Ji Chengfeng extended his hand to gesture at her, saying, "Even if he weren't cousin's husband, I would ensure that no scholar under my governance suffers injustice."
