The Humble Family's Daughter Has A Spatial Pocket! novel Chapter 420

Chapter 420: Chapter 396, Not the Only One_1

As Daohua spoke, there was a smile on her face, yet Xiao Yeyang could still sense her displeasure, and he felt somewhat helpless inside.

This girl, was she really upset just because he had brought Cousin Wanying along to the Glass Store? Was it necessary?

While Xiao Yeyang was hesitating about what to say, Yan Wenxiu spoke up.

“Little Prince, please continue your shopping with Miss Jiang. We just came to look around and will be leaving shortly.”

Upon seeing the Little Prince, Yan Wenqi and the other four suddenly conducted themselves with constrained reverence; it was best they leave quickly to avoid making everyone uncomfortable.

Hearing this, Xiao Yeyang inwardly cursed Yan Wenxiu, then managed a smile that was more a grimace as he said, “Why leave so soon after arriving?”

Daohua replied with a laugh, “We wouldn’t want our presence to dampen the Little Prince and Miss Jiang’s spirits, would we?” She said this with a not-quite-serious smile as her eyes casually swept over the two of them.

At those words, Xiao Yeyang’s expression became solemn, and his gaze on Daohua sharpened. After a moment, he turned directly to Yan Wenxiu: “Let’s all sit down together. I also wanted to ask you about your provincial exams.”

At this, a flicker of dissatisfaction quickly passed through Jiang Wanying’s eyes; she wanted to spend time alone with Brother Yang.

It had been several years since she had seen Brother Yang. The affection they had developed as children had faded. This reunion had made it clear to her that Brother Yang was much colder toward her than before.

She had come this time intending to cultivate their relationship.

She believed that with their childhood bond, they would soon be able to restore their close friendship.

Only after enduring her father’s pressure had Brother Yang agreed to accompany her shopping, and yet here they had encountered the Yan siblings. Such bad luck.

Knowing that Xiao Yeyang had a good relationship with the Yan brothers, Jiang Wanying, though reluctant, still followed his lead with a smile: “That’s right. It’s not often we all meet up. We should definitely have a good chat.”

With that, she walked over to Daohua and affectionately linked her arm.

“I’ve been wanting to befriend Miss Yan for a long time. Unfortunately, I usually stay in the provincial capital and have had no opportunity. We must have a good talk today.”

Daohua pursed her lips in a smile and discretely withdrew her arm.

Seeing this, Jiang Wanying’s expression faltered, and she felt a slight irritation.

She’d been willing to give the Yan family’s eldest daughter some face on account of the Yan brothers, but she hadn’t expected this person to be so clueless.

Hearing Xiao Yeyang and Jiang Wanying agree, it was inappropriate for Yan Wenxiu to persist in wanting to leave, so he smiled and introduced Yan Wenqi, Yan Wenge, and Yan Wenyi to Xiao Yeyang.

Meanwhile, Daohua introduced Yan Yunxi and Yan Yunyan to Jiang Wanying.

“Miss Jiang, these are my cousins, Yan Yunxi and Yan Yunyan; Yunxi, Yunyan, this is Miss Jiang Wanying from the Jiang family of Zhongzhou Province.”

As Daohua made the introductions, Jiang Wanying’s displeasure rose once again.

Whenever others introduced the young ladies of the Jiang family, they would typically refer to them as relatives of the Empress Dowager or the Empress’s family, hardly ever mentioning just the Jiang family, as Yan Yiyi did.

These provincial official’s children really couldn’t be taken anywhere, lacking even the basic social skills for introductions.

Noticing that Xiao Yeyang had already taken Yan Wenxiu and the others upstairs, Jiang Wanying quickly said with a smile, “Let’s follow them. I dare say the Glass Store owned by my Brother Yang is the best in all of Daxia. If you take a fancy to any piece of glass later, just tell me quietly. I’ll talk to Brother Yang and have him give it to you for free.”

Daohua raised an eyebrow and her face showed delight: “Is Miss Jiang serious? Will the Little Prince agree? I have heard my three brothers say that the Little Prince always dislikes others making decisions for him.”

Jiang Wanying smiled demurely: “Others naturally cannot persuade Brother Yang, but I…” She stopped, her face flushing with shyness, the implication of her unfinished sentence clear.

Jiang Wanying knew that given Xiao Yeyang’s relationship with the Yan brothers, giving away two or three common glass pieces from the storefront to the Yan sisters would surely be indisputable.

When she brought it up later, it would count as a favor.

The corners of Daohua’s mouth twitched. She glanced back at Xiao Yeyang, who was watching her, giving him a pointed look before smiling at Jiang Wanying: “Since Miss Jiang has said so, we won’t be shy.”

“And I’m not afraid of your laughter, to be honest, I love the glassware here. My cousins and I will certainly pick carefully later on.”

Jiang Wanying’s face stiffened, and inwardly she lamented the pettiness of provincial officials’ daughters.

Glass was valuable, not something you could just pick at will.

Her offer had been merely a polite gesture. Anyone with a sense of propriety would have merely thanked her and allowed the host to choose what to give, rather than picking for themselves.

Watching Daohua’s gleeful demeanor as she talked about selecting glassware with Yan Yunxi, Jiang Wanying found it hard to look on.

This Miss Yan truly had no awareness.

By this time, the group had reached the second floor.

Xiao Yeyang saw Daohua chatting happily with Yan Yunxi and couldn’t help but ask with a smile, “What’s got you so happy?”
