Chapter 538: Chapter 496, Alone and Forsaken_1
Watching Yan Wenkai taking Daohua away, Xiao Yeyang looked quite annoyed, and Daohua, being led away, was equally speechless, “Fourth Brother, you’re walking too fast, I can’t keep up.”
Hearing this, Yan Wenkai gave an embarrassed smile and immediately slowed his pace, “You should have said so earlier.”
Daohua huffed, “Did you even give me the chance?” As she said this, she glanced back at Xiao Yeyang, seeing him walking shoulder to shoulder with Third Brother before turning her head to continue walking forward.
Out of the courtyard, Defu led them towards the back door.
Clearly, Xiao Yeyang did not want others to know he was back.
By the back door, the carriage was already prepared.
Yan Wentao: “Little Prince, it’s cold out. You should head back inside. We are leaving now.”
Xiao Yeyang nodded, his gaze turning towards Daohua standing in front of the carriage.
Daohua was also looking at Xiao Yeyang. Seeing him standing alone at the entrance, she couldn’t help but feel a pang of sorrow. It was supposed to be a time of joyful family reunions for the New Year, yet he was all by himself. Overcome with emotion, she blurted out, “I’ll come again tomorrow.”
At these words, a warmth flashed in Xiao Yeyang’s eyes, and a smile formed on his lips, “Okay.”
Yan Wenkai moved his lips, wanting to say that tomorrow was New Year’s Eve and their mother wouldn’t let her out, but seeing the lonesome figure of Xiao Yeyang, he swallowed his words.
Daohua smiled, “The black chicken soup made by your cook isn’t bad. Make it again tomorrow, and I’ll come over for it.”
Xiao Yeyang nodded with a smile, “Sure.”
Daohua: “Then we’re off!” With that, she helped herself onto the carriage with Yan Wenkai’s hand, and once both brothers were aboard, the carriage started moving.
Watching the carriage move away, Defu approached and said, “Master, it’s still snowing. Let’s go back.”
Xiao Yeyang stood still until the carriage left the back alley, then he turned and entered the residence.
After the back door closed, the door of the house opposite opened.
Guo Ruomei looked at the tightly shut back door, her face filled with deep concern and longing.
Mei Shuang: “Master, now that the Little Master has returned to the residence, shall we…”
Guo Ruomei shook her head, reproaching herself, “Yangyang won’t want to see me now. If I hadn’t insisted on divorcing the Prince all those years ago, he wouldn’t have to face this awkward situation now.”
Mei Xue: “How can this be your fault, Master? If anyone is to blame, it should be the Prince. He was the one who wronged you at first, and now he has hurt the Little Master so deeply. He is neither fit to be a husband nor a father!”
A cold look flashed in Guo Ruomei’s eyes, and after a long silence, she sighed, “In the end, it is the tragedy of being a member of the Imperial Family. In the face of interests and schemes, everyone is but a pawn. Even though Yangyang left Beijing, he still couldn’t escape others’ maneuvers.”
Seeing the worry on her master’s face, Mei Shuang comforted her, “The Little Master looked quite well, so you needn’t worry too much.”
Guo Ruomei nodded, “The Yan siblings are indeed good.”
Mei Shuang smiled, “Yes, Little Master seemed much cheerier after playing with them this afternoon.”
Guo Ruomei took one more look at the back door across the way, stood there for a while, then turned around and went back inside.
Meanwhile, on the carriage, Yan Wenkai looked at Daohua, “Big Sister, why didn’t you invite the Little Prince to our house? It’s so desolate for him to spend the New Year alone.”
Daohua sighed, “Do you think he would come to our house?”
Yan Wenkai was silent for a bit before adding somberly, “But I also think Mother won’t let you out tomorrow.”
Daohua immediately sat up straight, her eyes blazing as she looked at her two brothers.
