Chapter 709: Chapter 637: Rising Doubt_1

"Everyone has left, what are you still looking at?"

Seeing Daohua still gazing at the street, Xiao Yeyang couldn’t help but speak up to stop her.

Daohua silently withdrew her gaze and said with furrowed brows, "Yuan Yao was acting strangely today, she seemed distracted as if she’s holding back something on her mind."

Xiao Yeyang was unconcerned, "Really? She seemed fine to me." Seeing Daohua’s furrowed brows, he laughed and said, "Alright, don’t think too much about it. If Miss Dong had really encountered any problems, she would definitely tell you. If she’s not saying anything now, she probably doesn’t want you to know, and all your guessing here won’t help. Weren’t you going to choose glass? I’ll accompany you."

Daohua thought it made sense and nodded, following Xiao Yeyang upstairs.

Xiao Yeyang: "What kind of glass do you want to choose? I’ll ask the shopkeeper to fetch it for you."

Daohua thought about it, "I want to choose a set to give to Big Brother Dong."

Hearing this, Xiao Yeyang’s expression changed, "Why are you giving a gift to Yuanxuan?"

Daohua, while looking at the glassware, said, "Yuan Yao mentioned that Big Brother Dong has gotten engaged, and they might return to the capital before the New Year. By the time he gets married, I definitely won’t be able to attend, so I can only send him the wedding gift in advance."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Yeyang’s expression softened, "I see. In that case, we should choose carefully. Let’s both pick something to give him together and wish him happiness in his marriage."

Daohua, thinking of Dong Yuanxuan whom she had seen the day before, sighed, "Big Brother Dong has lost a lot of weight. When I saw him yesterday, I could hardly recognize him. Yuan Yao said he was unhappy with the arranged marriage his family had set up and fought against his father for months, but in the end, he had no choice but to yield."

Xiao Yeyang’s eyes flickered, and looking at Daohua, he remembered several occasions when he had seen Yuanxuan gazing at Daohua with eyes filled with adoration, his lips pressed into a thin line.

Daohua continued speaking, "I used to envy Big Brother Dong and Yuan Yao. From birth, they stood at a height that others may never reach even after a lifetime of struggle; they could do what they wanted, have whatever they wished for, and live without restraint or care."

"But now I think about it, there’s no way in the world to enjoy such things without paying a price. As children, they enjoyed the glory and wealth of the Marquis Residence. Now that they are grown up, they have to exchange their personal interests to repay the family’s, and they can’t escape even if they wish to."

Xiao Yeyang: "...That’s probably the fate all nobles and their children cannot escape, isn’t it?"

Daohua turned to look at him, "What about you then?"

Xiao Yeyang immediately said, "Of course I’m different from them. They can’t break free because they lack the ability and the resolve, but I have both, and I dare to."

Unable to help it, Daohua chuckled, "You sure are confident."

Xiao Yeyang, looking at Daohua, "It’s not about confidence, but about the person in my heart who makes me willing to risk everything."

Daohua was startled and stared at Xiao Yeyang fixedly.

After a moment of eye contact, Daohua was the first to look away, "What do you think would be a good set of glassware for Big Brother Dong’s wedding gift?"

Xiao Yeyang pondered for a moment, then summoned Defu and whispered a few instructions in his ear.

Defu nodded and quickly turned to leave; after a while, he came back holding a large box.

Xiao Yeyang opened the box, revealing a set of exquisite glass tableware, "Will this do?"

Daohua picked it up for a closer look and nodded repeatedly, "This is good."

Xiao Yeyang smiled, "Tomorrow, I’ll take some time with your brothers to meet Yuanxuan and give this set of glass tableware to him on your behalf."

Without overthinking it, Daohua agreed with a nod.

Seeing Daohua agree to let him deliver the gift, Xiao Yeyang’s smile deepened, and then he brought up their recent official business trip.

Daohua also mentioned something about the Fifth Master to Xiao Yeyang.

"What? The Fifth Master went to Taohua Temple to visit Master Gu and Granny Gu a few days ago?" Xiao Yeyang looked at Daohua in surprise.

Daohua: "Yes, he mentioned that he went to visit the master and granny en route while out attending to official duties."

Xiao Yeyang swallowed hard, "The Fifth Master didn’t make things difficult for you, did he?" _{freewebnovel.cσ๓}
