Pampered Poisonous Royal Wife – o

The light gauze veil faintly covered An Yiqing’s face. Yet her beauty, in this haziness, appeared even more mysterious.

An Zhihang turned around, bent down, and An Yiqing gently leaned onto him.

"Great! Let’s go! Time to send the bride off!"

With a festive shout, An Zhihang carried An Yiqing steadily towards the main gate of the mansion. Behind him, Kong Shi and others closely followed.

"Little sister, today is your big day. Big brother is happy for you." An Zhihang suddenly sighed, feeling reluctant, "Lao San and I grew up together. I trust his character. He will cherish you like a treasure. After getting married, you have a long road ahead together. No matter what happens, remember to understand each other. If there’s any grievance, don’t hold it in—big brother and second brother will support you."

An Yiqing lay on An Zhihang’s back, her eyes glistening. If she hadn’t gotten lost when she was little, would she have always leaned on her big brother’s back, growing up like this?

"Big brother, all these years, you’ve had it hard. I’m thankful you’re my big brother and have never blamed you."

An Zhihang’s steps suddenly paused, his eyes reddened. For nineteen years, he blamed himself for his sister’s disappearance. If he hadn’t insisted on having a birthday party back then, maybe Niuniu wouldn’t have gotten lost. Over the years, he tormented himself endlessly. Even though his eyes almost cried blind, he felt he could never make up for his guilt. Fortunately, his sister returned. But seeing the mature and understanding Niuniu broke his heart again. The treasure that should have been cherished in his palm—how did she endure so much hardship? In that icy, snowy world, if Elder Ye hadn’t found her, would he have never seen her again in this life?

He always strived to be a good big brother, hoping to make up for years of regret. His heart remains guiltily burdened, but time cannot be turned back, and regrets are irreparable.

And today, hearing An Yiqing’s words, the towering An Zhihang suddenly cried. Niuniu doesn’t blame him, and she’s delighted to have him as her big brother.

With red-rimmed eyes, yet smiling, the sadness in his eyes disappeared at last. An Zhihang knew that in Niuniu’s eyes, he was the best brother in the world.

Firmly carrying An Yiqing, An Zhihang continued on the path. He carried her to the front hall. At the entrance of the front hall stood a tall figure, dressed in military uniform, standing straight and firm.

It was An Zhiyan.

After much argument between the brothers, Old Master An finally decided: An Zhihang would carry her for the first half of the journey, and An Zhiyan for the second. Everyone was happy.

An Zhihang carried An Yiqing forward, raising an eyebrow at An Zhiyan, "Carry her securely. If she falls, you’re in trouble."

An Zhiyan rolled his eyes, "Do you even need to say that?!" He swiftly took An Yiqing, securely placing her on his back, and walked step by step towards the main entrance.

An Zhihang stood at the door, watched An Yiqing’s departing figure, and his heart was filled with a profound reluctance. Just then, a warm little hand held his. An Zhihang looked down to see Gu Tingting watching him anxiously.

Feeling warmth in his heart, An Zhihang patted her hair and smiled, "It’s okay, let’s go."

Carrying An Yiqing, An Zhiyan muttered the whole way, his image as Instructor Iceberg completely gone.

"Niuniu, if Lao San ever bullies you, remember to find me. Although I can’t beat him, I can surely annoy him to death. Ah, spitting on a good day isn’t auspicious. Anyway, if you suffer any grievances, don’t endure it alone. But I know the lad’s character, he’d rather swallow you whole than let you suffer. Niuniu, you’ll face many challenges ahead, always remember, our family is your strongest backing."

An Yiqing smiled and softly said, "Okay, I remember, second brother."

"Ah, you went missing for so many years, just found you and this lad took you away again. It’s so disheartening. When I was little, I always thought, if I had a sister, I’d take her to all the fun places. But that wish never came true, and you disappeared."

An Yiqing’s heart ached, "Second brother, you can still take me to play in the future."

"Really?" An Zhiyan was overjoyed.

"Of course it’s true, I love playing with big brother and second brother, as long as you both don’t think it’s childish."

"Not at all, how could it be childish! Playing house with Niuniu is far from childish!"

An Yiqing chuckled, and An Zhiyan laughed heartily as well.
