The Humble Family's Daughter Has A Spatial Pocket! novel Chapter 708

Chapter 708: Chapter 636, Strange_1

"Yuanyao, this time coming to the provincial capital, I’ve noticed that both you and Brother Dong have changed a lot."

On the streets of the provincial capital, Daohua, wearing a veiled hat, walked side by side with Dong Yuanyao.

Dong Yuanyao turned her head to look at Daohua: "How have we changed?"

Daohua organized her premonitions: "Brother Dong has lost a lot of weight, and you... have become much more reserved than before." Saying this, she looked directly at Dong Yuanyao, "Yuanyao, are you hiding any worries? Yesterday at the banquet, I noticed you kept getting lost in thought."

Dong Yuanyao fell silent, continuing to walk forward, and it was quite some time before she finally spoke: "Before the New Year comes around, our family might have to return to Beijing."

Daohua: "You don’t want to leave Zhongzhou?"

Dong Yuanyao nodded.

Daohua: "Why?"

Dong Yuanyao: "... I’ve gotten used to living here, and I don’t want to go back to that Beijing filled with gossip and scheming." Pausing, she continued, "Once we return, I’ll probably have to get engaged, just like my brother, having to accept my family’s arrangements even though I do not like it."

Upon hearing this, Daohua also fell silent for a bit. After thinking, she tried to comfort: "Yuanyao, you must trust your mother, she adores you so much, she will not marry you off casually. Before you get engaged, you can tell her what kind of person you like, I think she will consider it for you."

Dong Yuanyao’s face showed bitterness as she shook her head: "The one I like, my mother will certainly not agree."

Hearing this, Daohua’s eyes flashed suddenly.

Yuanyao’s words... could it be that she already has someone she likes?

Before Daohua could think further, Dong Yuanyao pointed ahead towards the Glass Store: "Yiyi, there’s the Glass Store, let’s go in and see if there are any new items for sale."

Daohua had no objections: "Alright."

Soon, the two of them walked into the Glass Store.

Daohua looked at the glassware one by one, asking Dong Yuanyao: "What do you want to buy?"

After waiting for a while without a response, Daohua turned to look at Dong Yuanyao and saw her with her head bowed, deep in thought, and couldn’t help but reach out and touch her arm: "Yuanyao, what’s wrong?"

Dong Yuanyao raised her head, seeing Daohua looking at her with concern, forced a smile: "I’m fine. All the glassware in the store looks so pretty, I’m just trying to decide which one to buy."

Daohua’s face held a trace of skepticism, but she did not inquire further.

After wandering around the store for a while, Dong Yuanyao suddenly clutched her stomach and said: "Yiyi, I’m feeling a bit uncomfortable in my stomach, I want to go to the restroom. Could you continue to look around on your own for a while?"

Daohua quickly said: "I’ll accompany you."

Dong Yuanyao laughed: "This Glass Store is owned by the Little Prince, you have nothing to worry about. Besides, Hong Yu and the others are with me."

Daohua looked at Dong Yuanyao: "Then okay, be quick and come back."

Dong Yuanyao nodded, and then headed to the backyard with Hong Yu and Hong Fang.

Daohua watched Dong Yuanyao’s retreating figure, furrowed her brows: "Why does Yuanyao seem off?" Saying this, she picked up a piece of glassware to examine.

After a little while, Daohua felt more and more uneasy, quickly put the glass down, and stepped toward the backyard.

The backyard was very quiet, and when Daohua arrived, she didn’t see anyone.

"Huh, where’s Yuanyao?"

Daohua headed directly to the outhouse area, discovered Dong Yuanyao was not there, and immediately said to Wang Manman and Bi Shi: "You two, look around."

After finishing, she also began searching throughout the backyard.

At the same time, the door of the innermost room on the second floor of the backyard opened. Xiao Yeyang, who had come back to rest less than an hour ago, was awakened by the noise from the courtyard, stepped out of his room, and saw Daohua downstairs looking for someone.

Seeing Daohua, the displeasure on Xiao Yeyang’s face instantly flew away. He propped himself on the railing, leaped gracefully, and landed quietly on the ground.

At that moment, Daohua heard talking from the next courtyard and was about to go over to listen more carefully, wondering if it was Dong Yuanyao. But suddenly, a pair of arms from behind embraced her waist and held her tight.

Daohua got a great start, just about to shout, when her mouth was covered.

"It’s me!"
