The Villainous Classmate is My Lucky StarChapter 166 The Girl Who Came Out Of The Painting (2)"Chang'an is no worse than Chaoge." The Second Elder Cousin took a sip of the wine and said cheerfully, "When the third aunt came back after the new year, I heard her say that you are of the right age, and she plans to find a good man for you."Wen Yantong was flabbergasted. "Why haven't I heard of this?""The third aunt has already been looking for you." The Second Elder Cousin said, "There are many talented and handsome people in our city. If you like someone, freely tell his name to third aunt. With the wealth of the Wens Family, whose residence can you not enter?"Although his words were quite exaggerated, Wen Yantong did not refute, but said with a smile, "Second Elder Cousin, don't just drink, lest you get drunk."The Second Elder Cousin waved his hand. "Your elder cousin has a high tolerance."Wen Yantong didnt continue to persuade and just took a piece of pastry from the center plate to cushion her empty stomach.The Second Elder Cousin fell silent for a while, then proceeded to sigh, "I turned twenty-three this year, and it's also time for me to get married. Since last year, my parents have selected quite a few candidates for me..."Wen Yantong quickly realized that her Second Elder Cousins meal was not completely free. For people that rarely come in contact to be so friendly they meet again, such a matter had to be suspected; they had come with a disguised purpose.She pretended to be surprised. "Second Elder Cousin, why don't you choose one of those girls?"The Second Elder Cousin sighed again, "I can't choose.""Why not?""Because your cousin here already has someone in his heart." The Second Elder Cousin pointed to his heart. "There is only one person I want to marry."Wen Yantong didn't ask who it was and just said, "Then tell aunt and uncle, ask them to send a marriage proposal."The Second Elder Cousin shook his head. "No, she definitely doesn't want to marry me."Wen Yantong fell silent, she intuitively felt that the girl mentioned by her second elder cousin had something to do with the little cannon fodder.Sure enough, the Second Elder Cousin continued, "She is the fourth daughter of the Lin Residence, the one you are good friends with."Wen Yantong relaxed her shoulders. She silently stuffed the last bite of pastry into her mouth, and pretended to be shocked. "So it's Fourth Lady Lin!"Who the heck was Fourth Lady Lin?The Second Elder Cousin said, "Tongtong, as your biological cousin, can you help me with this matter?"Wen Yantong gasped, "How can I help you? Marriage is in the hands of our parents!"The Second Elder Cousin continued to plead, "As long as you mention my name in front of her and say a few nice words, just to give her a good impression of me. You don't need to do anything else."So she doesnt even know of your existence?The road to this marriage seemed too distant.Wen Yantong quickly pondered. Although she was sharp-tongued, her heart remained soft. Moreover, the food hadn't been served yet, so naturally she could not refuse, "Then the next time I meet Fourth Lady Lin, Ill be sure to say a few words. Dont worry, Second Elder Cousin.Second Elder Cousin was extremely happy. "Tongtong is the best. It was worthwhile for me to take your punishments stead and kneel down for two days back when we were still children."Theres no need to dig out such old debts, okay?The Second Elder Cousin happily started to reminisce about their past while Wen Yantong just nodded along. One of the two only talked and the other only ate, and soon, their meal ended. When she got up to leave, her Second Elder Cousin eagerly asked his servants to go to pay the bill. He remained very attentive to Wen Yantong bombarding her with all kinds of hospitality at times reminding her to be careful of the people walking in the building, and other times reminding her to pay attention to the steps.Wen Yantong inwardly mocked this Second Elder Cousin. Being so flattered frequently was also quite annoying.Just as she perfunctorily replied, Wen Yantong suddenly heard a commotion from outside the restaurant. The people standing at the door were all cleared away by the guards from outside, and the crowded area in front of them suddenly became spacious.Afterwards, some guards opened the door as Chi Jingxi stepped across the threshold.Wen Yantong's eyes lit up instantly. They hadnt met in many days, this unexpected meeting lit endless joy in her; the irritability and impatience seemed to disappear all at once.As soon as Chi Jingxi turned his head, he saw Wen Yantong standing to the side. He stopped in place, his dark pupils dilated as he fixedly starred in direction, as if he had fallen into a stupor.Wen Yantong subconsciously smiled at him.It was a dazzling smile. Chi Jingxi's ink-black eyes widened slightly as his adams apple bobbed undetectably.He had seen Wen Yantong in a dress, and that gold-speckled ink-color gauze dress often appeared in his dreams.But he had never seen Wen Yantongs face so delicately powdered and made up. Those jade hairpins, glittering jewels, and light fragrant All of it complimented Wen Yantong, it made her look like a lady straight out of a painting, standing in the midst of a noisy restaurant.Causing his heart to beat.After the guards withdrew, the traffic of people entering and exiting the restaurant quickly resumed to normal. The Second Elder Cousin didnt recognize that this was the Little MArquis and just thought it was another high-status young noble of Chang'an, so he patted Wen Yantong's arm. "Let's go."Chi Jingxi soon saw the Second Elder Cousin beside Wen Yantong, who was constantly fawning upon her, and his eyes darkened visibly.Wen Yantong also wanted to talk to Chi Jingxi, but since this was not Chaoge after all, she could only hold back. Therefore, she lowered her head slightly, and walked around Chi Jingxi, pretending as if they were strangers.Its ok. She consoled herself. Therell be more opportunities in the future.The moment she passed by, Chi Jingxi felt his fingertips twitch; he was restraining the urge to pull her back. However, he couldn't restrain his eyes as they continued to follow her movements. When she stepped out the door, Chi Jingxi's body also completely turned around.The servant next to him hurriedly stepped forward and asked, "Master, do you not like this restaurant?"Only then did Chi Jingxi come back to his senses. He walked out of the restaurant, only to see Wen Yantongs burgundy dress blending into the crowd. The man beside her continued to keep his head lowered and was saying something to her.He stared intently for a while, and seeing that their figures were about to disappear, he raised his chin and asked the servant beside him, "Who is that person?"The servant followed his gaze and squinted his eyes, "It seems to be the second son of the Wang Residence.""The Wang Residence?" Chi Jingxi thought about it in his mind, and only had some impressions of Wang Residence in Chaoge.The servant explained, "The Wang Residence is located in the south end of Chang'an, their ancestors were court officials. The Wang Residence of the Ministry of Justice in Chaoge and the Head of the Wang Residence here are biological brothers."There was only one Wang Residence in Chaoge, the head was currently the Head Minister of the Ministry of Justice. He only had one child, a concubine-born daughter, so he valued the relatives around him very much. Hence, although none of the members of the Wang Residence in Chang'an City hold government positions, most people wouldn't dare to provoke them.Chi Jingxi then asked, "Then what is the relationship between the Wang Residence and the Wen Residence?"The servant answered, "The second son's mother and the Madam of Wen's Residence are biological sisters. In terms of relationship, they should be cousins."Chi Jingxi lightly humphed, "Cousin?"This cousin is too solicitous. ...The author has something to say: [Chi Jingxi's Little Diary]Ruixing Decade, 29th of the Third Lunar Month:Is there a need for something like a cousin to exist in this world?
