Chapter 366 -344, An Unexpected Gap_1

The Jiang Family made way, and the carriages of various households began to slowly set off.

Yan Wentao rode his horse beside the Yan Family carriage, speaking softly with Daohua and Zhou Jingwan. _{freewebnoveℓ.com}

Ahead, Xiao Yeyang glanced at Jiang Wanying, who stood by his side, and thought of the childhood sweetheart rumor Daohua had mentioned before, he suddenly did not want to stand together with her anymore.

“Cousin Wanying, you are not well, it’s better for you to stay inside the carriage,” he said.

Jiang Wanying pursed her lips into a smile, “It’s just standing with you for a while, it’s no trouble.” As she spoke, seeing sweat on Xiao Yeyang’s forehead, she reached out her hand wanting to wipe it off.

Xiao Yeyang, upon seeing this, retreated hastily, looking over in some panic at the Yan Family carriage that was about to approach.

Relieved that Daohua was laughing and talking with Yan Wentao and hadn’t seen this, he let out a sigh of relief.

Seeing him dodge away, Jiang Wanying pouted, “Big brother Yang, I just wanted to help you wipe away your sweat.”

Xiao Yeyang said stiffly, “I don’t need you to wipe it, just take care of yourself.” Then he paused, and with a frown added, “Pay attention to your words and actions. It’s not good to be seen like this, and it’s bad for your reputation, too.”

Jiang Wanying didn’t care in the slightest, “What’s there to worry about? I couldn’t care less what others say. Big brother Yang, you used to not care about others’ opinions either, right? How come you’ve changed after a few years of not seeing each other?”

Xiao Yeyang didn’t respond.

He still didn’t care about others’ opinions, but he cared about Daohua’s.

The guy got upset just hearing a rumor about a childhood sweetheart. If he saw him being too intimate with cousin Wanying, he would certainly blow his top.

Jiang Wanying didn’t press on, but changed the subject, “Big brother Yang, I heard the Emperor bestowed some lychees on Governor Guo?”

Xiao Yeyang responded half-heartedly with a hum, “Not many, just a small basket.” While speaking, his gaze kept wandering toward the Yan Family carriage.

Jiang Wanying laughed, “The Emperor really values Governor Guo. The lychees from the south don’t often make it to Beijing because only a few princes and ministers get them each year.”

“When I was in Beijing, I could eat a few when I visited the Taihou Palace, but it’s hard to get them once you leave Beijing.”

Even though the Jiang Family was noble, being the Empress Dowager’s and the Empress’ maternal family, they didn’t receive royal gifts often, mostly from the Empress Dowager or the Empress.

This time, while the Emperor rewarded Governor Guo, he made no gesture towards their family.

Xiao Yeyang’s attention was on the Yan Family carriage approaching slowly; he wasn’t really listening to Jiang Wanying, just humming in response.

Jiang Wanying, seeing she had been so straightforward and yet Xiao Yeyang wouldn’t engage, felt somewhat embarrassed. Then she thought, big brother Yang has always been carefree and might not have understood her hint, so she said again.

“Big brother Yang, I heard Governor Guo gave all the lychees to you. I’ve been having a lot of medicine lately and kind of crave lychees.”

That was clear enough, wasn’t it?

If big brother Yang still didn’t understand, he must be feigning ignorance.

Xiao Yeyang heard and understood, but he said, “I’ve already finished the lychees. If you want some, you should have your parents find a way.”

Jiang Wanying was taken aback, “Weren’t the lychees just delivered yesterday?” How could they be gone so quickly?

“Yes, but there weren’t many, they were gone in a few bites.” Xiao Yeyang remembered the scene of feeding Daohua in the pavilion, and his lips couldn’t help but curve into a smile.

Ah, he hadn’t managed to spend much time with Daohua this time.

All because of his uncle, who insisted on having him entertain guests, wasting most of his day.

Luckily he was clever, managing to keep her in the pavilion by offering her cake. Otherwise, he feared he wouldn’t have had the chance to be alone with her at all.
