Defense Array (1)

"Again? Are you all so free? Why do you always have questions to ask?" Ye Lang stopped, frowned, and asked impatiently.

For Ye Lang, it seems that every time he comes back, he is asked all sorts of questions, and he feels that these questions are meaningless and even pointless.

Of course, he wouldn't mind if Long Anqi asked him; a son should answer his mother's question!

However, at this moment, his parents, grandparents, and many other people were present, and Ye Lang was not particularly interested in answering questions, so he naturally became a little impatient.

"Who's free? If it weren't for you causing such a big mess every time, we wouldn't even bother asking you! Answer my questions properly!!" Long Anqi said immediately, not caring whether Ye Lang was impatient or not. Maybe she didn't want the people present to think anything of Ye Lang.

Of course, even if she hadn't done that, the people present wouldn't have blamed Ye Lang. They were all familiar with Ye Lang, and there was no need to ask him about these things; they could find out from others.

"Alright, ask away. I don't have much time, and I refuse to answer boring questions!" Ye Lang said directly.

"..."

What a pointless question. With so many of us waiting for you, would you really ask such a trivial question?

However, this kid's standards are quite different; perhaps he'll find those important questions rather boring!

What did you do at Haoyue Lake?

This question is important to everyone, but it's incredibly boring for Ye Lang.

"Ask Seventh Brother about those pointless questions, he'll answer them for you. As for Haoyue Lake, that's all I can say about him, don't ask anything else." Ye Lang finished speaking and ran inside, giving no one a chance to answer.

"..." Everyone fell silent. What were they waiting for? Were they waiting for this kid to say he was boring?

Holy crap, this is seriously so boring!!

"Everyone, I already know what you want to know, and you don't need to know what I don't know. So, if you have any questions, ask me." Seventh Brother's voice rang out in the hall. He loved to talk and was always happy to be asked questions.

Since that incident, after learning about the situation from Third Brother, Seventh Brother has subconsciously been protecting Ye Lang, allowing Ye Lang to stay out of these things and focus on his own business.

They already knew that Ye Lang wasn't good at these things. Those who knew him could accept his personality, but those who didn't would misunderstand.

To avoid these misunderstandings, they decided to keep Ye Lang away from these troubles as much as possible.

Actually, Ye Lang didn't mean he didn't want to answer them, but he felt that if he did, he might say something he shouldn't have. He didn't want to repeat the same thing, especially since he had finally managed to get Seventh Brother and the others to cooperate.

However, Seventh Brother was not so easily dealt with. He actually knew that there was something else going on with Ye Lang. He could tell from the things Ye Lang had purchased that this was definitely not about building a beautiful manor.

Seeing that Ye Lang didn't want to talk about it, Seventh Brother didn't press further. He trusted Ye Lang and believed that Ye Lang would tell them when the time was right and wouldn't hide anything from them.

This is trust. Unlike others, he just wanted to get to the bottom of things and wanted Ye Lang to tell him everything!

On the other side, Ye Lang was walking back to the courtyard with some girls...

"Cousin Zhiqing, are you married?" Ye Lang suddenly asked Ye Zhiqin, who was standing to the side.

"Huh? Ah..." Ye Zhiqin was stunned. At this moment, she was still thinking about some other things. She had already returned to her room. She had just followed along in a daze, so she didn't react to Ye Lang's question for a while.

Not only Ye Zhiqin didn't understand Ye Lang's purpose, but everyone else was also confused about what Ye Lang meant by saying that, and why he suddenly became concerned about it.

"What's wrong, Ye Lang? Have you fallen for your Cousin Zhiqing?" The Seventh Princess came to Ye Lang 'Ye Lang side, gently took his arm, and asked with a smile.

"Yes, I like my Cousin Zhiqing!" Ye Lang nodded and said.

"..." Ye Zhiqin blushed, feeling a little at a loss. Of course, this might just be because she didn't expect Ye Lang to say that. Anyone would be at a loss for words in the face of such a sudden confession.

However, she reacts differently to different people!

If it were those men who had pursued her before, she would have drawn her Dual Swords and cut them down. But she didn't do that to Ye Lang, only because Ye Lang was her cousin.

"What?! When did you fall in love with your Cousin Zhiqing?" Ye Lanyu and the others were surprised. They hadn't expected Ye Lang to fall for Ye Zhiqin.

"A long time ago!" Ye Lang replied blankly.

"No way, you liked him a long time ago... Wait, Ye Lang, what kind of liking are you talking about?" The Seventh Princess was about to say something, but she suddenly remembered something and immediately asked Ye Lang.

Ye Lang's statement that he likes someone doesn't necessarily mean romantic love; it could be something else entirely. Ye Lang may have misunderstood the meaning of his own question.

"I like you, that's all. Just like I like you guys." Ye Lang pointed at the Seventh Princess and the others.

"Oh, I see!"

Everyone understood, even Ye Zhiqin understood. They all knew that the "like" Ye Lang spoke of was different from what she had thought. Ye Zhiqin patted her chest, seemingly relieved.

"What do you mean by this and that? Cousin Zhiqing, are you married yet?" Ye Lang asked, a little puzzled but not paying much attention.

"I... I haven't!" Ye Zhiqin paused for a moment before answering Ye Lang's question.

"Hey, Ye Lang, why are you asking my Cousin Zhiqing this question? Whether she's married or not is none of your business. Do you want to find her a husband?" the Seventh Princess asked. This was also the question that Ye Lanyu and Zhen Xiaoyan wanted to ask.

"No!" Ye Lang immediately shook his head. "I don't know many people. Who would introduce someone to my Cousin Zhiqing? If anyone's going to introduce someone, it'd be my sister. She needs to get married as soon as possible!"

"Get lost! Am I in your way?" Ye Lanyu kicked Ye Lang, sending him flying several steps.

"Ah... Sister, I was just thinking about your happiness. A woman has to get married eventually," Ye Lang said innocently, clutching his kicked backside.
