Chapter 261: Uxorious Elder Brother Li (2)

Li Qingcang’s eyes darkened when he heard that. Did that mean that Ye Tianxin had heard people gossiping about her?
“Little Tianxin, don’t mind what other people say—no matter what they say. You are forever the best in my heart,” he assured Ye Tianxin. He was worried that those gossips would affect Ye Tianxin. He didn’t want Little Tianxin to be upset.
Ye Tianxin stood on tiptoes. She stretched out her hand under the moonlight and gently smoothed out Li Qingcang’s furrowed brows. “Elder Brother Li, actually, I didn’t hear anything…”
Li Qingcang looked puzzled. “Then…”
“I know that people would definitely be jealous of me because I went to the banquet with you,” Ye Tianxin said matter-of-factly.
Ye Tianxin gave him a look implying that she knew something like this would happen. Li Qingcang could not help but laugh at that.
His Little Tianxin was so thoughtful and mature. He found her adorable no matter how he looked at her.
“Well, why don’t you tell me why they are jealous of you?”
Ye Tianxin stood in front of Li Qingcang and enumerated her reasons, “First, Elder Brother Li, you are too good-looking. When an unknown girl like me appeared suddenly next to an extremely handsome man, people would think and wonder, ‘Where did this girl come from?’ People would form opinions about me, though most of them are biased and prejudiced, and they would naturally dislike me.
“Second, it’s because I look exquisite in this dress. Good-looking girls always evoke jealousy. That’s why it’s okay. The more jealous they are of me, the better I feel. Don’t get me wrong. Their jealousy validates how good I look tonight.
“Third, well, I danced with you—you only danced with me. I heard them saying that it was your first time dancing in public. Elder Brother Li, thank you for dancing for the first time…with me.”
Indeed, Ye Tianxin was thoughtful. Her unparalleled beauty made Li Qingcang’s heart rate speed up. He averted his eyes somewhat uneasily and then coughed lightly.
“Are you hungry? I’ll get you something to eat.”
Ye Tianxin lowered her head. She looked at her exquisite evening gown and a thought occurred to her, ‘If we went to eat wearing this, we would definitely attract a lot of attention. People would gawk at us. They might even laugh at us.’
“Elder Brother Li, there is something I have been wanting to say to you the entire night.”
Li Qingcang asked, “What is it?”
“Elder Brother Li, you look very handsome tonight,” Ye Tianxin said with a grin.
Li Qingcang blushed. He stretched out his hand and patted the top of Ye Tianxin’s head. “Tianxin, actually I feel really uncomfortable and uneasy wearing this tonight,” he admitted. “I feel the most comfortable wearing the military uniform.”
Ye Tianxin’s heart beat frantically.
There seemed to be a faint melody playing in the dark night.
The wind was gentle.
The gentle breeze swayed Ye Tianxin’s hair, revealing her beautiful face.
Her skin was pale. She looked exquisite as she stood under the moonlight. Unlike other girls who would usually put on a lot of makeup on their faces, there was not even a hint of powder on Ye Tianxin’s face.
“Let’s go.”
Ye Tianxin was wearing high heels, and Li Qingcang was worried that she might accidentally sprain her ankles while walking on the bluestone tiles.
This was a place well-known for its beautiful scenery.
It was very late at night.
The ancient architecture was enveloped in darkness, and the lights made the building look mysterious yet tranquil.
Li Qingcang held Ye Tianxin’s hand tightly. His hand was warm, and his usually strong heart began to pump quickly and wildly.
Li Qingcang felt his entire body warming up. He felt as if something was spreading throughout his body.
