Noble Marriage-Chapter 1073: Extra Story 6

"Brother, let me go find Ache. I haven’t looked for him for months, he must think I’m really not going to be friends with him anymore."

"Wushuang, don’t you understand? He doesn’t want to be friends with you."

"No, Ache wouldn’t treat me like that." She answered with determination, why she was so sure, she herself didn’t know.

Anyway, she firmly believed that Ache wouldn’t treat her like that.

The boy’s eyes darkened, "If he wanted to be friends with you, why hasn’t he come to find you all this time? If you don’t look for him, can’t he come to you?"

"This... Ache has never been to the castle, maybe he’s afraid to come."

"If he truly wants to see you, he would come no matter the obstacles."

"But..."

"Wushuang, forget about him, having just your brother is enough."

Wushuang suddenly realized, she played with Ache every day, her brother must think she didn’t want him anymore, he must be very sad and troubled.

"Brother, Ache is just my friend, don’t worry, in my heart, you’re the most important person." She hurriedly explained to him.

"Really?" The boy’s eyes lit up for a moment.

"Of course, you’re my brother, no one is more important than you!"

"...Just a brother?"

Wuyou laughed bitterly in his heart, he could only be a brother.

He could never tell her she wasn’t his sister, this secret, even if he died, he couldn’t reveal it.

But he desperately wanted to tell her everything, yet he could only keep this secret to himself.

Because of this secret, his heart harbored many secrets, causing him much anguish.

Why must he bear so many secrets?

Wuyou was truly heartless, always preventing Wushuang and Ouyang Che from meeting.

Soon, Wushuang turned ten, in the blink of an eye, it was also the anniversary of Ouyang Che’s mother’s death.

That day was when Ouyang Che was at his saddest and most vulnerable, she had to see him, she had to meet him.

To see Ache, Wushuang made a bold decision.

She added something like a sleeping pill into Wuyou’s drink.

After Wuyou fell asleep, she sneaked out of the castle and went to the graveyard at the back of the mountain.

Pulling apart the tall grass, she indeed saw Ouyang Che.

"Ache!" Seeing him again, she was extremely excited.

Ouyang Che deeply stared at her for a long moment, then uncertainly asked, "Did your brother allow you to come see me?"

"You knew?" She thought he didn’t know anything.

"Of course I knew." Every time he went to find her, he was always stopped, he knew it was Xuanyuan Wuyou’s doing.

"Ache, I’m sorry, it’s only now that I’m able to see you." Wushuang apologized to him, embarrassed.

"It’s okay." Ouyang Che gave her a gentle smile.

Huh? Strange, since when did Ache’s temper become so good?

After that, Ouyang Che carefully inquired about her recent affairs, holding her hand tightly, his beautiful eyes gazing at her tenderly, even his voice was like a soothing breeze, impossibly gentle.

Used to Ouyang Che’s cold, domineering demeanor, she found this version of him made her uncomfortable and unnatural.

"Ache, why do you keep staring at me?" And with such gentleness, it’s really unsettling!

"You don’t like it when I’m like this?" Ouyang Che leaned in close to her face, asking softly, his breath carrying a hint of warmth.

Wushuang’s heart inexplicably skipped a beat, her cheeks warmed, as if an unfamiliar feeling arose deep inside.
