“Daohua will be okay, right?”

Zhou Jingwan constantly glanced toward Daohua and Xiao Yeyang, her face full of concern. She hadn’t expected the Little Prince to fan Daohua right from the start; and to make matters worse, her brother had taken the opportunity to pull her away, leaving her in a quandary over whether to go over or not.

Seeing his sister’s worried face, Zhou Chengye also looked helplessly up at the sky, mimicking De Fuku’s expression.

That look in this sister’s eyes really does no good!

Can’t she see the Little Prince is just joking with the Yan girl?

That’s the way the Little Prince shows his closeness.

Alright, this method indeed may not be quite appropriate for use on young girls.

“Come on, stop looking already. The Little Prince is just teasing Miss Yan!”

Upon hearing this, Zhou Jingwan’s eyes widened as she looked at her elder brother.

“What’s the matter, got something on my face?” Zhou Chengye felt uncomfortable under her stare and involuntarily touched his cheek.

Zhou Jingwan looked around and, seeing that everyone was some distance away from them, spoke in a low voice, “Elder brother, since when have you and Daohua become so familiar to call her ‘Miss Yan’ like that?” she finished, curling her lip.

Zhou Chengye immediately tapped Zhou Jingwan’s head, “I am good friends with the Yan brothers, so what’s wrong with calling her ‘Miss Yan’?”

Zhou Jingwan curled her lip, “You change too quickly. Not long ago, you were still calling the Yan family’s eldest daughter by her formal name.” With a huff, she added, “You’re just like those other people, buttering up because the Little Prince is close to the Yan family.”

Zhou Chengye again tapped Zhou Jingwan on the head, “With other matters, you’re as clueless as a blockhead, but when it comes to criticizing your own brother, you’re quite articulate!”

Saying so, a trace of pride appeared on his face.

“Buttering up? Does my Zhou family need to butter up the Yan family? I am close to the Yan family simply because I befriend the three Yan brothers, and also because Uncle Yan is relatively incorruptible, so I have grown closer to them.”

Zhou Jingwan voiced her skepticism, “Really? But before the Little Prince showed any affection for the Yan family, I never saw you getting that close to them!”

“You…”

Zhou Chengye was so exasperated by Zhou Jingwan, “I can’t be bothered to talk to you anymore, go have fun by yourself.” With that, he walked away briskly. If one looked closely, his retreat bore a sense of flight.

Zhou Jingwan pouted, “I didn’t say anything wrong, did I?”

Meanwhile, Daohua saw that Zhou Jingwan was alone and wanted to come over to find her.

But when she started moving, Xiao Yeyang followed her as well.

Zhou Jingwan and Xiao Yeyang were not familiar with each other, and when they were together, they didn’t know what to talk about.

Seeing the two in awkward silence, Daohua felt a bit uneasy and, thinking it over, pointed at the cliff and suggested, “Let’s sit in the pavilion.”

Xiao Yeyang was indifferent, “Then you need to be careful, that cliff is somewhat steep.”

Daohua laughed, “Don’t worry, Jingwan and I are quite agile.” With that, she pulled Zhou Jingwan towards the pavilion.

To reach the pavilion, they had to go up a rather steep stone staircase. Xiao Yeyang, worried that Daohua and her companion wouldn’t make it, hurried in front to be ready to lend a hand at any moment.

“No need!”

As they were ascending the stone staircase and Xiao Yeyang reached out to help Daohua up, Daohua briskly swung her arm and climbed up by herself with ease.

After all, she practiced martial arts with Wang Manman on a daily basis, so climbing a slope was nothing to her.

Xiao Yeyang’s hand froze mid-air, taken aback for a few seconds before he awkwardly withdrew it, also forgetting to attend to the following Zhou Jingwan.

Zhou Jingwan, who was accustomed to a life of luxury, panicked slightly seeing Daohua climb up so easily. Without paying attention, she lost her balance and her body leaned backwards.

“Be careful!”

As Zhou Jingwan was about to cry out in alarm, a steady hand braced her back, steadying her.

“Thank you!”

Turning her head, Zhou Jingwan saw that it was Daohua’s third brother, it seemed his name was Yan Wentao.

After stabilizing her, Yan Wentao scratched the back of his head and gave an embarrassed smile, “It’s nothing, just be careful. These stone steps are rather steep.”

Zhou Jingwan nodded.

Hearing the commotion, Daohua quickly looked over and asked, “Jingwan, are you alright?”

“I’m fine, I’ll be right up.”

Once Zhou Jingwan climbed up, Daohua let go of a sigh of relief and cast a somewhat reproachful glance at Xiao Yeyang.

Xiao Yeyang touched his nose, “I didn’t notice.” He was accustomed to others looking after him; it was a rare occurrence for him to tend to someone else, so how would he know Zhou Jingwan was so feeble?

Zhou Jingwan didn’t dare to blame Xiao Yeyang and quickly said, “It’s my own carelessness.”

By then, Dong Yuanxuan and a few others had also arrived at the pavilion, and the subject was dropped.
