The Humble Family's Daughter Has A Spatial Pocket! novel Chapter 318

Chapter 318: Chapter 298, Apology_1

“Little Prince, how did you end up following us here?”

As the two boats approached each other, Yan Wenkai called out in a loud voice across the water to Xiao Yeyang.

Xiao Yeyang glared at Yan Wentao with a stifled anger and retorted, “What do you mean following you? I’m on my way to Ningmen Pass, where my uncle is stationed. It just so happens to be on the same route as you!”

“Oh~”

Dragging out the word, Yan Wenkai then spoke to Daohua next to him with feigned regret, “I thought the Little Prince came to apologize to my sister. After all, making her lose face in front of so many people was really inappropriate. But it turns out, I was mistaken.”

Seeing her elder brother making faces, Daohua found it amusing and couldn’t help but smile, yet she immediately suppressed it and said with a pout, “Apologize? Fourth Brother, what good things are you imagining!”

“Some people pride themselves on their noble status and might even think it’s an honor for others when they snub them.”

Yan Wenkai disagreed, “What kind of honor is that? A girl’s reputation and face are more important than anything. Let whoever wants such a dubious honor take it—we certainly don’t need it in our family.”

Daohua quietly gave Yan Wenkai a thumbs-up.

On the side, Yan Wenxiu and Wentao looked helplessly at their brother and sister teaming up to tease the Little Prince across the water.

Meanwhile, Xiao Yeyang’s face had turned shades of green.

Defu, standing behind, looked at Yan Wenkai with some sympathy.

Fourth Master Yan is enjoying himself now, but when the Master can’t take out his frustration on Miss Yan, who else is going to bear the brunt but him?

Definitely not one known for his wisdom!

Seeing that the Little Prince’s gaze was becoming increasingly dangerous towards their foolish brother, Yan Wenxiu let out a sigh, deciding to intervene and save his simple-minded sibling. After all, he had only one full brother, who wasn’t exactly the sharpest tool in the shed. If he took another beating, he might well end up a bona fide fool.

“Little Prince, our eldest sister has prepared some tea and snacks, which are quite good. Would you care to join us for a taste?”

Xiao Yeyang looked at Daohua, who was tilting her head away, ignoring him, which made him feel even more sullen.

Seeing his master being stubborn again, Defu hurriedly said, “Master, it’s still several hours’ journey to Ningmen Pass. If you join Miss Yan and Lord Yan, the journey won’t be so boring.”

Now that Lord Yan had already extended an olive branch, it was best for the master to take it swiftly.

If he has already swallowed his pride to come this far, why not go all the way?

“Ahem~”

Xiao Yeyang cleared his throat, feeling somewhat awkward and embarrassed, “I am a bit parched. Since you have some tea and snacks over there, I might as well come over and sit for a bit.”

Shortly after, Xiao Yeyang, accompanied by Defu, arrived on the Yan Family’s boat.

Yan Wentxiu greeted Xiao Yeyang with a smile and brought him into the cabin, serving him a freshly brewed cup of tea.

Xiao Yeyang sipped his tea absently, occasionally glancing up on deck, wondering whether or not to go out there.

If he went out, he would surely have to apologize.

But doing so, wouldn’t it be too damaging to his pride?

If it were only him and Daohua alone, that would be fine, but in front of the three Yan brothers…

Suddenly, Xiao Yeyang found the presence of the three Yan brothers exceedingly annoying, especially Yan Wenkai, who had just been instigating Daohua to mock him.

Hmph, as if he would let him gloat for long. After he’d made things right with Daohua, he’d settle the score with him later.

Xiao Yeyang sneered inwardly at the Yan brothers sitting next to him, sipping tea, thinking to himself how clueless they were.

Defu knew his master all too well. With just one look, he could tell what he was thinking and smiled as he approached Yan Wentxiu, “Lord Yan must have already started his new position, right?”

Yan Wentxiu nodded.

Continuing with a smile, Defu said, “Speaking of Ningmen Prefecture, I do know a thing or two about it. Our Governor is stationed at Ningmen Pass, which is under the prefecture’s jurisdiction. Speaking of Ningmen Pass, it’s a famously important strategic point, known for its treacherous terrain…”

With Defu’s narrative ongoing, the three Yan brothers’ attention was drawn away.
