The next morning, Yan Wan got up early because it was the big day of her homecoming. She would finally be able to see her father, mother, brother, sister-in-law, and Yi'er. Yan Wan was like a busy little bird, getting ready and preparing gifts for her family.

Ji Mohan also got up early, practiced a set of boxing moves, and then returned to his study to handle business.

"Hanhan, breakfast is ready." Yan Wan's voice rang out from the study window.

Ji Mohan looked up and saw the lively and cheerful little princess smiling and waving at him from the window. Everything was so natural and warm.

"Okay, you go ahead, I'll be right there." Ji Mohan hurriedly finished writing the last memorial and went to the front hall for his meal.

"Your Highness, come quickly! There are steamed buns this morning, they're delicious. Please try some." Yan Wan happily picked one up and put it in Ji Mohan's bowl.

Seeing this, Uncle He wanted to step forward to stop him, but then he saw his prince pick up a bun, take a bite, and say, "Hmm, not bad."

"Right, right? I think it's delicious too." Yan Wan said happily, seeing that she had successfully recommended it to her dining companion.

Seeing that Ji Mohan was in a good mood today, unlike his usual lifeless appearance, He Bo felt gratified. He thought to himself, "As expected, the Princess Consort has brought vitality to the Prince and laughter to the Prince's mansion."

On the carriage, Yan Wan asked Ji Mohan with concern, "Your Highness, when we get to the Yan residence, could we pretend that we are very much in love? I don't want my father and mother to worry."

Ji Mohan's mood instantly somber. Hadn't he been treating her very well? Why did he have to pretend? Didn't she sense it?

Seeing Ji Mohan's expression change so quickly, Yan Wan thought that her request was too unreasonable and had displeased him, so she hurriedly said, "Is Your Highness in a difficult position?"

Ji Mohan gazed at her silently, his eyes deep and almost black, his voice suppressing anger as he said, "Whatever."

Yan Wan said softly, "Thank you, Your Highness." After that, she didn't say anything more, afraid of angering him.

Seeing Yan Wan remain silent, Ji Mohan's anger intensified, and he closed his eyes, feigning sleep.

The two were subtly locked in a cold war, neither speaking to the other.

——

Yan Mansion.

Mr. and Mrs. Yan were waiting at the door early in the morning. Ever since their daughter married that "living devil," Mrs. Yan had been so worried that she couldn't sleep at night, fearing that her daughter would be bullied.

Soon, the carriage of the Prince of Han's residence came to a smooth stop in front of the Yan residence. Ji Mohan got out of the carriage first, then reached out to help Yan Wan down. Yan Wan watched Ji Mohan get out after the carriage stopped, feeling a little worried, afraid that he was angry and had forgotten his promise to her. After she went out, she saw him waiting by the carriage to help her, and she breathed a sigh of relief. She placed her hand in his palm and slowly stepped down from the carriage.

"Father, Mother, Brother and Sister-in-law." Yan Wan walked over happily.

"Oh, good child." Mother Yan looked at her daughter with relief, who seemed to have been bullied.

Father Yan was about to bow to Ji Mohan, but Ji Mohan interrupted him, saying, "Father-in-law, we're all family, there's no need for such formalities."

"Good, good, good, come in quickly." Father Yan was pleased and repeatedly praised them, welcoming them into the mansion.

At the dinner table, Yan Wan's parents and Yan Jin kept serving her food. The family was having a great time. Actually, they also wanted to serve the Prince of Han, but no one dared to.

Looking at the happy family and Yan Wan surrounded by her family, Ji Mohan felt a pang of envy. At that moment, Yan Wan noticed Ji Mohan's somewhat forlorn expression. She picked up her chopsticks and put some of each dish on his plate, saying, "Your Highness, please try them. The West Lake Vinegar Fish and Longjing Shrimp made by the chef of the Yan family are absolutely superb."

The Yan family was only missing Er Kang to handle the situation, fearing that Wan'er might offend Prince Han by serving him food without permission.

But then Ji Mohan picked up his chopsticks and tasted the dish Yan Wan had put on his plate. "Hmm, it's really good."

The people of the Yan family breathed a sigh of relief. It turned out that Prince Han was quite easy to get along with. Ji Mohan was unaware that his action had instantly brought him closer to the people of the Yan family and earned their approval.

Afterwards, everyone relaxed at the dinner table. Ji Mohan actually enjoyed this reunion dinner very much. Since his mother passed away, he had never eaten with so many family members.

It seems that while Yan Wan is chatting and laughing with her family, Ji Mohan is like a shadowy mouse spying on her happiness. So this is what it means to be a child who grows up in love.

Ji Mohan, are you good enough for her?

You don't deserve it.

Seeing that Ji Mohan's expression had changed again, Yan Wan secretly pulled his hand under the table and gently squeezed it to comfort him. Seeing that the meal was almost finished, Yan's parents suggested, "Wan'er, is His Highness a little tired? Why don't you take him back to your courtyard to rest for a while?"

“Yes, Wan’er, you should go and rest for a while,” Father Yan echoed.

"Alright, then Father, Mother, Brother, Sister-in-law, Wan'er will take her leave first." Yan Wan said with a smile, then pulled Ji Mohan away.

"Your Highness, please take off your shoes and rest in bed," Yan Wan said to Ji Mohan after making the bed.

Ji Mohan looked around Yan Wan's room. There were many things, but they were all neatly arranged and not messy at all. The whole room was filled with her fragrance. There were some flowers and plants by the window, and the yard was also full of various flowers. So this was a girl's room.

"Yes, alright, I'll go upstairs and rest for a while," Ji Mohan nodded in response.

"Yes, Your Highness, please rest. I'm going to my mother's to deliver the gifts I brought to them." Yan Wan packed her things.

"Okay, go ahead."

"Then I'll be going. If Your Highness needs anything, just tell the maid." Yan Wan said with concern.

"Mmm," Ji Mohan replied from his bed.

After Yan Wan left, Ji Mohan got up and continued to look around Yan Wan's room, wanting to see the place where she grew up. After looking around for a while, he got bored, lay down on the bed, and fell into a deep sleep while smelling the fragrance.

"Mother, are you resting?" Yan Wan called out from her mother's courtyard.

"No, Wan'er, get up quickly."

"Mother, this is red date and goji berry tea. I brought it especially for you. You often suffer from blood deficiency, so you should drink it regularly." Yan Wan handed the tea to her mother's maid and took her mother's hand as she instructed her.

"My dear girl, I know. Is Wan'er doing well at the Prince Han's residence? Have any of the people there bullied you?" Mother Yan asked worriedly.

"Mother, I'm doing very well, and the Prince treats me extremely well." Yan Wan lowered her head, feigning shyness.

"Good, good, it's good that the Prince treats you well," Mother Yan said with relief. Seeing her daughter doing well, as a mother, she was finally at ease.

The mother and daughter were having a quiet, intimate conversation in the house. Before they knew it, an hour had passed. Yan Wan hurriedly got up and told her mother, then rushed to her own courtyard, wondering if Ji Mohan had woken up yet.

As soon as she entered, she heard voices coming from inside. Curious, Yan Wan went in and saw Ji Mohan and Yi'er playing with marbles.

Ji Mohan also has this childlike side.

When Yi'er saw Yan Wan return, she said happily, "Auntie, Uncle is really amazing, he won so many marbles."

"Okay, did Yi'er cry when she lost?" Yan Wan joked.

"I didn't cry. Father said that a real man shouldn't cry like that," Yi'er said proudly, raising her head.

"Yi'er is so great!" Yan Wan had just finished speaking when she heard Yi'er's nanny looking for Yi'er outside the door. After handing Yi'er over to the nanny, she went inside.

"Did Yi'er disturb Your Highness's rest?" Yan Wan asked apologetically.

"No, this child is very clever. He's a good prospect for martial arts," Ji Mohan praised.

"Really? I wonder if my brother intends for Yi'er to follow the path of martial arts. However, the prince is quite patient, playing marbles with Yi'er for so long," Yan Wan said with a smile.

"Since we have nothing else to do, it'll be good to play with him for a bit," Ji Mohan said proudly, just in time to let the child see how amazing his marbles skills were.

After having dinner together at the Yan residence, Yan Wan and Ji Mohan returned to the Han Prince's residence together after being reluctantly seen off by the Yan family members at the door.
