Chapter 635: Chapter 574, Heartfelt Vocal Plea_1

"With me here, how could I possibly let you fall?"

Daohua's mood inexplicably lifted upon hearing such a boyfriend-power-packed statement. She gave Xiao Yeyang a sidelong glance, let her feet dangle in the air, and started to swing on the swing set, laughing to herself.

Seeing this, Xiao Yeyang set the wine jar he was holding onto the ground, then stood behind Daohua to help push the swing.

Daohua looked back at him and after a moment of thought, said, "I thought after you returned, you would first go and pay your respects to Madam Guo and Madam Jiang."

Xiao Yeyang replied with an indifferent tone, "Since they are now living in the Ningmen Prefecture, there will be plenty of opportunities to meet in the future. There's no rush for this moment."

Daohua's eyes rolled playfully, and she teased, "Don't you want to go see your two cousins, as beautiful as flowers and as fair as jade?"

Xiao Yeyang's expression paused, his hands firmly grasping Daohua's arms, forcing the swing to stop.

Startled, Daohua turned to look at Xiao Yeyang, discontented, "What are you doing?"

Xiao Yeyang leaned forward, closing the distance to Daohua.

As Daohua looked at Xiao Yeyang's face, which was so near yet seemed so far, she felt a bit uncomfortable. She intended to turn away, but with her shoulders firmly held by Xiao Yeyang, she had no choice but to turn her head away, avoiding his gaze.

Noticing Daohua's embarrassment, Xiao Yeyang's lips curved into a smile. He leaned in close to her ear and chuckled, "Yan Yiyi, you keep bringing up cousin Jiang Wanying in front of me, and now you've added cousin Xueming. I want to ask you, are you jealous?"

At those words, Daohua flared up like a cat whose tail had been stepped on, suddenly stood up, and with wide eyes stared at Xiao Yeyang: "What nonsense are you spouting? Who's jealous?"

Xiao Yeyang watched the puffed-up Daohua with a leisurely smile, not saying a word. His certainty made Daohua itch with irritation.

Feeling anxious and annoyed by his gaze, Daohua lifted her foot to walk away: "Go ahead and enjoy yourself here on your own."

Seeing that he had truly aggravated Daohua, Xiao Yeyang quickly reached out and pulled her back, "It was just a joke, why are you taking it so seriously?" As he spoke, he pulled Daohua back onto the swing and sat down beside her.

Daohua huffed and turned her head away, ignoring him.

Seeing her reaction, Xiao Yeyang took a sip of the Peach Blossom Wine, then offered it to Daohua: "It really tastes good, have a sip."

Daohua glanced sideways at the Peach Blossom Wine but didn't reach for it.

Xiao Yeyang felt a bit helpless, and after a moment's thought, began to talk about the affairs of the Guo family on his own.

"The divorce between my mother and the family affected the Guo family to some extent. Apart from my maternal grandfather and uncle, most of the Guo family... are not very close to me."

"After I moved into the Imperial Palace, I saw the Guo family even less."

"I remember seeing cousin Xueming a few times when I was a child, but now I don't have any recollection of her."

Daohua turned her head: "I've met Miss Guo; she's very beautiful and demure, not at all pompous like Jiang Wanying; she's quite approachable."

Relieved that she finally spoke, Xiao Yeyang felt a bit exasperated with himself for teasing a girl for no reason, truly asking for his own discomfort.

Seeing that Xiao Yeyang had no reaction, Daohua looked at him: "Why aren't you reacting at all?"

Xiao Yeyang simply 'oh'ed in response.

Seeing his nonchalant attitude, Daohua was somewhat unsatisfied: "'Oh'? What does that mean?"

Xiao Yeyang said helplessly, "It means that no matter how beautiful cousin Xueming is, it has nothing to do with me."

Daohua's expression cleared up a bit, and she raised an eyebrow: "Don't be so certain in your words. Are you saying that you won't be moved by a pretty girl?"

Xiao Yeyang gazed steadily at Daohua: "In your eyes, am I, Xiao Yeyang, nothing but a lecher?"

Daohua paused for a moment, then after a brief silence, said, "I didn't say that. It's only natural for anyone to love beauty. Seeing a beautiful person and wanting to possess them is a common sentiment."

Xiao Yeyang reached out his hand and turned Daohua to face him directly: "Can't I just take one ladle out of the three thousand weak waters?"
