Chapter 424: Chapter 400, All Fools_1

Xiao Yeyang saw Daohua come out and his expression brightened as he immediately waved at her, gesturing for her to come over.

Daohua hesitated at the back door for a moment, thought about it, and still decided to bring Wang Manman with her as she walked over.

Servants often come and go through this back door; standing here and being seen by others wouldn’t be good.

After walking over, Daohua looked carefully at Xiao Yeyang’s expression. Seeing that he seemed quite spirited, she began to ask, “Why are you here so early in the morning?”

Xiao Yeyang smiled and explained, “Didn’t I say last time after we returned from Taohua Village that I would take you to a nice place today? But I have something to take care of today and I’m afraid I’ll have to break our appointment. However, rest assured, I will definitely make it up to you next time.”

Daohua’s expression remained indifferent, “There’s no need. I know the Little Prince is a very busy man, having to manage the Glass Factory and accompany Miss Jiang on her shopping trips—how could you have time for anyone else?”

Xiao Yeyang frowned, “Why bring up Wanying all of a sudden?”

Daohua sneered right away, “What, is Miss Jiang so noble that even mentioning her is not allowed?”

Xiao Yeyang was stunned and hastily said, “When did I suggest that?”

Daohua, “Then what did you mean just now?”

Xiao Yeyang, “I didn’t mean anything. Taking you out is between you and me and really has nothing to do with Wanying.”

Upon hearing this, Daohua fell silent and pursed her lips without speaking.

Xiao Yeyang glanced at her and said, “There’s always a reason for everything. I also want to ask you; yesterday at the Glass Store, why did you keep linking Wanying and me together?”

Daohua looked up at him, “Do you really not know why?”

Xiao Yeyang looked utterly clueless, “I truly don’t know, why?”

Daohua scoffed, “Fine, let me ask you then. Why did you share a carriage alone with Miss Jiang? Don’t you know that everyone in Zhongzhou is talking about you two being childhood sweethearts?”

“You were seen publicly getting off the carriage with Miss Jiang. Was that to show everyone just how intimate your relationship is?”

Xiao Yeyang hesitated for a moment before swearing to the heavens, “When have I ever thought that way? If I have even a shred of such thoughts, may I meet an untimely end.”

“Master!”

Hearing these words, De Fu was terrified and hurried over, “Master, you can have a proper talk with Miss Yan; please don’t take death so lightly—it’s a taboo.”

Wang Manman also walked over to Daohua’s side, pulling on the somewhat stunned Daohua, “Miss, let’s talk things over slowly.”

Daohua looked at Xiao Yeyang, and he was looking back at her; after a moment of eye contact, Xiao Yeyang began to explain, “That day when I returned from outside, Advisor Jiang arrived with Wanying.”

“These past few days, I’ve been busy looking for someone, and coincidentally, I received news that the Jiang Family was also looking for something. To investigate whether their purpose was the same as mine, I inevitably had to discuss it with them.”

“That day in the carriage, it was not just Wanying and me. Advisor Jiang was also there but he had to leave because of some urgent matter that came up.”

Daohua, “Why didn’t you ride a horse?”

Without missing a beat, De Fu immediately responded, “Miss Yan, my master had been relentlessly riding for two days and a night on the road outside; even the best horse would be exhausted.”

After hearing this, Daohua lowered her head and fell silent, a touch of regret stirring in her heart.

It seemed she had misunderstood this time.

Glancing up at Xiao Yeyang, her expression turned slightly uncomfortable.

She knew she had been impulsive and had not remained calm, but seeing Xiao Yeyang and Jiang Wanying getting off the carriage together had suffocated her with jealousy. If she didn’t get a few jabs in at him, she just wouldn’t feel comfortable.

Xiao Yeyang was also upset about being misunderstood and, seeing that Daohua’s momentum was weakening, he snorted and said, “I also know that you, Miss Yan, have never taken me seriously, treating me carelessly and avoiding me whenever you wish. If that’s the case, I don’t think I need to be overly eager anymore.”

The moment these words came out, De Fu’s heart skipped a beat, and he thought to himself, this is bad!

Sure enough, Daohua, who was already feeling remorseful, flared up again after hearing these words, and with a cold sneer at Xiao Yeyang said, “Since you’re so reluctant, from now on, don’t bother coming to see me.”

With that, she noticed the glass lantern in Wang Manman’s hand, grabbed it, and shoved it into Xiao Yeyang’s hands, “Take your stuff and go; I don’t fancy it.”

Looking at the glass lantern and the pouting Daohua in front of him, Xiao Yeyang’s momentary sense of righteousness diminished, and he said somewhat uncertainly, “The gift has already been given to you; there’s no taking it back.”

As he spoke, he tried to stuff the glass lantern back into Daohua’s hands.

Daohua sneered, “Do you think I’m blind? The lantern that Miss Jiang had the other day looked exactly like mine.” _{frёewebnoѵel.ƈo๓}
