Chapter 540 -498, Embrace_1

At the back door of the Xiao Mansion, Daohua alighted from the carriage with Yan Wenkai’s support and immediately saw Xiao Yeyang standing at the doorway, whereupon she smiled and asked, “How did you know we were coming?”

Gazing at Daohua, clad in a red jacket and skirt and dressed in festive cheer, Xiao Yeyang couldn’t help but smile and approached her, “I had overeaten at lunch and was taking a stroll to digest, when I heard the noise of the carriage and came to take a look.”

After saying this, he couldn’t help wanting to reach out and lead her by the hand.

However, Yan Wenkai casually stood between him and Daohua.

Xiao Yeyang took a deep breath to suppress the urge to punch Yan Wenkai away.

Daohua laughed, “Did you finish all the food I sent?”

Xiao Yeyang nodded.

Immediately, Daohua smiled, “I’ve brought some snacks for you too, so you can have them as nibbles during the New Year’s Eve vigil tonight.”

Xiao Yeyang smiled and patted Wentao’s shoulder, “Let’s go inside; it’s quite cold out here.”

The four of them entered the mansion.

Along the way, Wenkai noticed that there were no New Year decorations in the mansion and couldn’t help but say, “Little Prince, it’s the New Year; why haven’t you prepared any decorations? Compared to other homes with their bright lights and festive adornments, your place seems too desolate.”

Xiao Yeyang replied indifferently, “There’s no need for such fuss when I’m alone.”

Daohua disagreed whole-heartedly, “Even alone, one should celebrate the New Year. I’ve brought couplets, paper-cuts for window decorations and peach talismans. Later, you have to put them up.”

Xiao Yeyang looked at her but did not oppose.

Yan Wenkai also said, “Right, right, later we’ll help you set them up. During the New Year, how can one not add a bit of festive joy?”

Daohua then said, “Xiao Yeyang, aren’t you good at painting? Later, paint a few New Year pictures for us; we’ll hang them in our rooms.”

Xiao Yeyang looked over and smiled, “What kind of New Year pictures would you like?”

Daohua said, “You can decide; as long as they’re festive, joyful, and have good meanings, anything will do.”

Yan Wenkai immediately said, “Little Prince, I want one of carp leaping through the dragon’s gate.”

Wentao said, “Then, I want one depicting a bountiful harvest.”

Xiao Yeyang gave the two a sideways glance, “You’re certainly not shy about that.”

The two laughed ‘heh heh’ in response.

Yan Wenkai said, “Little Prince, you paint New Year pictures for us, and we’ll help you decorate the house—it’s a fair exchange.”

Xiao Yeyang fell silent for a moment, “From now on don’t call me Little Prince anymore, just use my name.”

Upon these words, Yan Wenkai and Wentao both paused in astonishment, even Daohua turned to look.

Seeing the reaction of the three, a trace of a smile appeared on Xiao Yeyang’s lips, yet his eyes held some sorrow, he said nothing more, and continued walking forward.

Yan Wenkai and Wentao exchanged glances, spotting the confusion and surprise in each other’s eyes.

Daohua felt a slight pang of heartache, now that the Governor had elevated his consort to official status, Xiao Yeyang was no longer the sole legitimate son, and the future title of the Prince Residence might not be his. The title ‘Little Prince’ must sound somewhat harsh to him now.

Soon, they arrived at the courtyard where Xiao Yeyang lived.

“Forget the other courtyards, I don’t stay in them. Just decorate this one,” he said.

Daohua responded enthusiastically, “Okay!” Saying this, she signaled Wang Manman to bring over the decorations they had brought.

“Did you cut these window decorations yourself?”

Xiao Yeyang picked up a ‘Peace and Good Fortune’ paper-cut window decoration and looked at Daohua with a smile.

Daohua nodded, “All the decorations I brought were cut by me, so we have to stick all of them on later. Can’t let them go to waste.”

With a smile in his eyes, Xiao Yeyang replied, “Good, we’ll stick them all up.”

Because Xiao Yeyang wanted to be called by his name, Wenkai and Wentao were both unsure how to address him now, only managing to say, “that, that.”

Wenkai held the couplets, “That… where should I stick these couplets?”

Xiao Yeyang pointed to Dexi, “Ask Dexi.” With that, he continued helping Daohua with the window decorations.

Wenkai approached Dexi and drew him aside to a corner, “What’s going on with the Little Prince?”

Dexi glanced at his master, did not answer but instead shifted the subject with a smile, “Third Master, Fourth Master, the stable has just acquired two Ferghana horses, do you want to take a look?”

As soon as they heard ‘Ferghana horses’, Wenkai and Wentao’s eyes lit up in unison.

Wenkai asked excitedly, “When did they arrive?”

Dexi replied with a smile, “Just a few days ago, sent by the Governor.”

Wenkai quickly nodded, “Great, great, lead the way to see them.”

Wentao glanced at Daohua and Xiao Yeyang, who were sticking up window decorations together, his expression hesitant.

Dexi saw this and immediately said, “We’ll just take a look; we’ll be back very soon.” Of course, these words were just for show. He didn’t believe that upon seeing the Ferghana horses, the two Masters could resist the urge to ride them for a couple of rounds.

Wenkai looked at Wentao, “Shall we go take a look?”
