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!"

Hearing the familiar voice, Daohua’s heart, which had reached her throat, settled back down. She quickly turned around and saw Xiao Yeyang’s infuriating smile and immediately lashed out with her hand.

"Don’t you know you can scare someone to death?"

"Scaring me like that!"

"Scaring me like that!"

Xiao Yeyang let Daohua hit him for a while before he finally reached out and grabbed her hand, "Alright, it’s my fault. Wasn’t I just trying to give you a surprise?"

Daohua glared at him, "No surprise, just a scare," she said, managing to free one hand from Xiao Yeyang’s grasp and giving his waist a fierce twist.

"Hiss~"

Xiao Yeyang winced in pain and quickly grabbed Daohua’s hand, hugging her from behind to prevent her from moving, "Okay, don’t be mad," he said, rubbing his face against the side of her face.

Daohua still puffed her cheeks up in anger, she really had been scared just now.

Xiao Yeyang tightened his arms, "I saw you were so happy, and didn’t think much of it. Did I scare you just now?" he asked, rubbing his face against hers again.

Daohua said irritably, "What do you think?"

Xiao Yeyang quickly admitted his mistake, "It’s my fault, sorry, don’t be mad at me," after speaking, he nuzzled vigorously into Daohua’s neck.

Daohua felt a ticklish sensation on her neck from the nuzzling, and patted Xiao Yeyang’s hand, "You can let go of me now."

Xiao Yeyang hugged her even tighter and shook his head, "No."

Daohua took a deep breath, "If you don’t let go, I’m really going to get angry, I still need to find Yuanyao."

At her words, Xiao Yeyang looked surprised, "You didn’t come to find me?"

Daohua replied, "I didn’t even know you were back."

Xiao Yeyang let out a disappointed ’oh,’ "I thought you saw your two brothers and then came looking for me. You had me happy for nothing."

Hearing Xiao Yeyang’s self-pitying voice, Daohua stiffly tugged at the corner of her mouth, "That... when did you guys come back? Did things go well?"

Xiao Yeyang was about to complain, but unfortunately, Wang Manman and Bi Shi came over, and he had to let go of Daohua, "We got back last night, and things went fairly smoothly."

Daohua looked Xiao Yeyang up and down, noticing that aside from being a bit darker and thinner, he still looked energetic, "You and your two brothers didn’t get hurt, did you?"

Xiao Yeyang shook his head.

Wang Manman and Bi Shi approached, "Miss, we saw Miss Dong."

Daohua immediately let go of Xiao Yeyang, "Where is she?"

Wang Manman replied, "She went back to the shop at the front."

Daohua started walking forward, "Then let’s hurry back as well." After a few steps, she turned to look at Xiao Yeyang, who was standing still, and asked, "Are you coming with us?"

Xiao Yeyang hummed resentfully, "I thought you would forget me now that you have Miss Dong."

Daohua couldn’t be bothered with him and turned to leave.

Xiao Yeyang followed her and, as he passed the gate, he quickly glanced outside.

"Yuanyao, where have you been?"

Seeing Dong Yuanyao, Daohua pulled her aside and asked.

Dong Yuanyao’s eyes dodged a bit, "I was just walking around." Seeing Xiao Yeyang catch up, she quickly changed the subject, "Is the Little Prince here too?"

Xiao Yeyang smiled and nodded his head.

Dong Yuanyao turned to Daohua, "Yiyi, since the Little Prince is here, I’ll go back first."

Daohua asked with surprise, "You’re not picking the glass anymore?"

Dong Yuanyao shook her head, "Sorry, Yiyi, I’m not feeling well and would like to go back."

Seeing Dong Yuanyao seemed to be in a poor mood, Daohua offered, "Then I’ll take you back."

Dong Yuanyao firmly declined, "No need, I know my way around the Governor’s mansion better than you." She glanced at Xiao Yeyang, smiled, and winked at Daohua.

"I’m leaving, let the Little Prince accompany you to make a good choice."
