Chapter 186: Chapter 168, Big Brother Doesn’t Mention Second Brother_1
After a trip to the ancient Nanfeng Pavilion and secretly teaching a lesson to Xiao Yeyang’s enemies, Daohua felt that this experience was quite special and thrilling. She walked with a spring in her step, much lighter than before.
Xiao Yeyang watched in silence as Daohua hopped and skipped along, leisurely admiring the street lanterns, completely unfazed by her Nanfeng Pavilion encounter, which made him feel extremely sullen.
What in the world was going on inside that head of hers?
Why did everything seem to defy common sense when it came to her?
If it had been any other young lady who witnessed what had just happened, they would likely have died of embarrassment.
But this one, she just strolled around the streets with such audacity.
“Wow, they’ve started releasing lanterns at Chong Building!”
Daohua suddenly pointed at the sky where Kongming lanterns were rising one after another.
Xiao Yeyang glanced over but didn’t show much interest.
They had been out for a while by now, and the flower parade should have reached the vicinity of Chong Building.
“Quick, let’s get back. We can’t waste the lanterns we bought. Let’s release them too, and make a wish while we’re at it!” Daohua said, pulling Xiao Yeyang towards the direction of Chong Building.
Xiao Yeyang allowed himself to be pulled along with an expression of resignation.
Soon, the group arrived at Chong Building.
“Huh, where are my elder brother and Brother Dong?”
Daohua looked over the building, both upstairs and downstairs, but didn’t see anyone she recognized.
Xiao Yeyang calmly said, “If we’re missing, they’ve surely gone to look for us.”
Daohua frowned with a bit of worry.
She didn’t care much about the others, but she was concerned about her cousins.
Xiao Yeyang gave her an assuring look, “Now you’re worried? When you left with me just now, why didn’t you think of this?”
Daohua replied, “…I thought you only brought Defu with you, what if something happened and there was no one to help us?”
At her words, Xiao Yeyang’s expression softened, and he comforted her, “Don’t worry now, who is Dong Yuanxuan? The son of the Provincial Governor. With him there, nothing bad will happen to your brother or your cousins.”
Daohua felt relieved and nodded, “Shall we go look for them?”
Xiao Yeyang replied irritably, “With so many people, how do you intend to find them? If they can’t find us, they’ll naturally come back.” He said, taking two newly bought lanterns from Defu’s hands, “Let’s release our own lanterns.”
Daohua took the lanterns, still occasionally glancing around the street.
Seeing this, Xiao Yeyang called over Defu and told him to get bodyguards to look around on the street, “Alright, now you can relax and release the lanterns.”
Daohua smiled, took the lighter from Xiao Yeyang, and lit the lantern.
As the two made wishes staring at the slowly rising lantern, Dong Yuanxuan and his group returned.
“Little Prince, Miss Yan, where did you go? We’ve been looking all over for you!”
Dong Yuanxuan’s face was filled with urgency and worry. He walked up to them and looked them over. Seeing that they were unharmed, his tense face relaxed a little.
When Daohua saw her elder brother Yan Wenxiu looking at her sternly, she knew she was at fault and shrank her neck, hiding behind Xiao Yeyang.
Xiao Yeyang was somewhat speechless at her cowardice.
Where was the boldness she had when she was dragging him forward?
At critical moments, she still needed to rely on him.
“You’re asking where we went? I should be asking you the same question. Didn’t I just take Daohua to look at the lanterns elsewhere? Yet when I turned around, you had all disappeared.”
Hearing this, Daohua suddenly looked up, her eyes shining with admiration as she looked at Xiao Yeyang.
What’s called fabricating lies effortlessly?
