Chapter 407: Chapter 383: A Lone Individual_1
In the carriage on the way back to Ningmen Prefecture City, Dong Yuanyao looked at Daohua with a funny face, then at Su Shiyu, and fell silent for a while before she couldn’t hold it in any longer.
“What’s with you two? One of you plays with lotus flowers, and the other with lotus seeds. What’s so fun about them that you can play with them for so long?”
No sooner had she spoken than she reached for the lotus flower in Daohua’s hand, but Daohua quickly dodged her grasp.
Dong Yuanyao was stunned, and redirected her hand towards the lotus seeds in front of Su Shiyu, but Su Shiyu quickly moved them aside as well.
That set Dong Yuanyao off.
“What are you two up to?”
Daohua hurriedly placed the lotus flower into a basket nearby, smiling at Dong Yuanyao, “The lotus is for arranging in a vase for my grandmother and mother, that’s why I was being careful with it.” freёwebnoѵel.com
Su Shiyu also quickly added, “You know I love eating lotus seed porridge.”
Dong Yuanyao looked at the two of them with a puffed-up expression.
Daohua immediately sat down next to her, smiling, “Quick, tell us about you and Brother Su’s horse riding competition today. Who won?”
Su Shiyu also smiled with lively interest at Dong Yuanyao.
Seeing this, Dong Yuanyao let out a cold snort and glared at them both, crossing her arms and puffing out her cheeks, “You’re just trying to fob me off.”
Daohua and Su Shiyu both smiled sheepishly, knowing it wasn’t good to hide things from Dong Yuanyao, but there were certain things in their hearts they really did not wish to reveal at the moment.
So, the three of them sat in silence, not speaking.
Outside the carriage, Xiao Yeyang and the others, not hearing the girls’ laughter, were somewhat puzzled. Daohua and Dong Yuanyao were usually restless; if they were around, there was always laughter to be heard.
Yan Wenkai asked in a low voice, “What’s wrong with them? Are they having a disagreement?”
Xiao Yeyang glanced at him, “They are probably tired, having been out playing all day.”
Yan Wenkai nodded, “That’s true, then let’s not talk loudly either, lest we disturb their rest.”
In the carriage, Su Shiyu heard this and her expression softened, thinking to herself that despite Yan Wenkai’s usual carefree demeanor, he had this considerate side to him.
Thinking of how he had taken care of her attentively during the afternoon’s boating and lotus-picking, and how hard he had tried to make her happy, she couldn’t help but smile.
This scene was caught by both Daohua and Dong Yuanyao.
Daohua: Wenkai and Sister Su… although the Yan Family may not be as prominent as the Su Family for now, if the two really hit it off, it’s not impossible for them to be together.
Dong Yuanyao’s eyes widened, as if she had discovered something astonishing.
After a while, the group arrived back at the Yan Residence.
When it was time to disembark from the carriage, Dong Yuanyao’s eyes widened again. It was one thing for the Little Prince to help Daohua out of the carriage, but why was Wenkai also so eager to assist Shiyu?
As Daohua and Su Shiyu were about to enter the residence, they realized that Dong Yuanyao wasn’t following. Upon looking back, they saw her still standing atop the carriage, motionless.
“Yuanyao, what are you doing standing on the carriage? Come down quickly!”
Dong Yuanyao looked at Daohua and Su Shiyu with grievance, “Nobody helped me down from the carriage, how do you expect me to get down?”
The moment she said this, Daohua was taken aback, and Su Shiyu’s face stiffened, while the others turned their attention toward them.
Yan Wenkai burst into laughter, “Sister Dong, you can get down from a horseback, are you afraid of a carriage that’s just a little high?”
Dong Yuanyao was not pleased, “Then why does everyone else get help getting out of the carriage, but not me?”
Looking awkward, Daohua approached the carriage and reached out her hand, “Miss Dong, how about I help you down from the carriage?”
Dong Yuanyao slapped Daohua’s hand away and hopped down from the carriage on her own, snorting, “If it’s not offered sincerely and voluntarily, I don’t want it.”
