The Humble Family's Daughter Has A Spatial Pocket! novel Chapter 158

Chapter 158: Chapter 143, Arrogant When Successful_1

In the pavilion, Yan Yishuang took over Yan Wenxiu’s poem. The continuity was good, and it won everyone’s applause. Yan Yishuang’s spirits lifted, and she immediately looked towards Xiao Yeyang, who was sitting in the seat of honor, with a smile.

“Little Prince, it’s your turn!”

She never felt that she was inferior to her elder sister in any way, especially when it came to composing poetry. In this respect, she was streets ahead of her elder sister. Today, she was determined to seize the opportunity to showcase her abilities and to make not only her father and others at home but also the Little Prince see that the Yan Family had more than just her elder sister to be proud of.

Xiao Yeyang was somewhat disinterested, and he responded perfunctorily, his gaze frequently drifting outside the pavilion, feeling both angry and helpless in his heart.

That Daohua had actually left him hanging here!

How infuriating!

In the pavilion, Yan Wenkai, who also found the proceedings dull, was thinking of leaving. Had it not been for his eldest brother’s diligent efforts to pep up the atmosphere, he might have already walked out.

“Brother Dong’s verse is really well done, both affectionate and natural. Little Prince, what do you think?”

Hearing his younger sister calling out to the Little Prince again made Yan Wenkai cringe.

Didn’t his third sister have eyes? Couldn’t she see that the Little Prince was already very impatient? Yet, she was still desperately trying to engage him in conversation.

Yan Yishuang continued to clap and cheer, looking expectantly at Xiao Yeyang, as if waiting for his critique.

Unfortunately, Xiao Yeyang didn’t even spare her a glance.

Seeing this, the smile on Yan Yishuang’s face could hardly be maintained. Beside her, Dong Yuanxuan sighed in resignation, feeling obliged to speak up to smooth things over, so as not to let the situation become too awkward.

Meanwhile, he wondered, considering they were both Misses of the Yan Family, why was there such a big difference between them?

When the eldest Miss Yan was present, the atmosphere was joyful, relaxed, and comfortable. Even though her attention was mostly on the Little Prince, she never ignored anyone else. Everything progressed gently and patiently.

But with the third Miss Yan, there was nothing but an overeager attempt to please, followed by a heaping load of awkwardness.

It really made one wonder why Yan Wenxiu had put her forward.

“Little Prince, what do you think of this pot of green winter chrysanthemums?”

Just as Xiao Yeyang’s patience was wearing thin, Yan Yile cheerfully placed a pot of winter chrysanthemums in front of him.

Xiao Yeyang glanced at it without much interest.

However, at that moment, Yan Yile spoke again, “This was personally cultivated by my eldest sister. There are only a few pots like this one; even flower shops don’t sell them.”

Upon hearing this, Xiao Yeyang then showed some enthusiasm, “Winter chrysanthemums are difficult to keep alive, and the green ones are even rarer. Daohua has good skills in growing flowers.”

Seeing the Little Prince willing to converse with her, Yan Yile’s smile broadened. She started to talk about how her eldest sister grew and grafted plants, pulling Yan Yihuan into the conversation.

Yan Yihuan sat serenely by her side, occasionally adding a sentence or two, while Yan Yile spoke animatedly.

The others originally thought that Xiao Yeyang would be impatient with such topics, but to their surprise, he listened with genuine interest, even exchanging a few words with the two sisters about their gardening insights.

On the side, Yan Yishuang furrowed her brows in disappointment, looking pitifully at Yan Wenxiu.

Yan Wenxiu reassured her with a look, signaling that everything was okay.

…

Xiao Yeyang patiently waited at the Yan Family home for most of the day, but by the afternoon, when Daohua still hadn’t come out to meet him, the Little Prince’s temper flared, and he left with a stern face.

Daohua Pavilion.

Daohua was calculating the accounts for the flower shop.

In the past few months, the business had been good, and they had made a considerable amount of silver.

Thinking about the vegetables that were mostly ripe in the greenhouse, which they couldn’t possibly consume all by themselves, Daohua was considering whether to buy another store just to sell vegetables.

In winter, there were fewer varieties of vegetables, especially green vegetables, and they could definitely fetch a good price.

Moreover, after selling the vegetables, the shop could also be used to sell fruits in the future.

On her estate’s barren hill, she had planted quite a few fruit trees.

Even though the fruit trees would take a year or two to bear fruit, there were still watermelons and grapes in the meantime.
