Gu Li thought about this all night, but the next day, he still decided to come and see Liu Yin.

He likes Liu Yin, Gu Li is absolutely certain of that.

In the first ten years of his life, he was also unrestrained and flamboyant. However, after his father's death, Gu Li was forced to become more composed.

Liuyin is not only the person he likes, but also represents his childhood imagination of the future.

Before, didn't he just want a beautiful and gentle wife?

He should make a choice for himself this time.

However, when he arrived in the courtyard, he found it to be quiet.

Gu Li frowned. What was going on?

He went straight to Liuyin's door, hesitated for a few moments, and then knocked.

This was actually his second time here.

Liu Yin has been staying with his grandmother these days, and since he hasn't come to see her, he naturally hasn't seen her.

Gu Li stood outside the door and waited for a while, but there was no movement inside.

At first, he thought Liu Yin hadn't woken up yet, but looking at the quiet courtyard, Gu Li felt more and more uneasy.

He pushed open the door abruptly, only to find the room empty.

Looking at the empty house, Gu Li's face darkened, and her eyes were filled with undisguised anger.

She's gone?

Changqing finally met the person after noon.

Looking at Qiao Xuanwen, who was tightly protecting Liu Yin, he felt that the carefree and elegant young master of the past was truly gone forever.

But Qiao Xuanwen couldn't care less about that anymore.

Now his eyes and brows radiate a sense of triumph, revealing an undisguised joy.

If they weren't still outside, he would have loved to carry Liuyin straight back to the Marquis's residence.

At this moment, Qiao Xuanwen had no idea that his mother was still waiting for him in the Marquis's mansion.

Princess Fu'an had originally planned to meet her future daughter-in-law, but after waiting for a while without seeing her, she understood.

But it's good that the two are so affectionate now, and she'll be able to hold her grandchild sooner.

It wasn't until after they had finished lunch with her husband that they heard from a servant that their son had returned.

Princess Fu'an thought to herself that her son would probably bring the girl to meet them, since she would eventually be entering the Marquis's mansion.

Even the Marquis of Wanning, who was just about to go to his study, stopped in his tracks.

Both of them had the same thought and sat in the superior position to wait.

The maid beside them noticed the thoughts of the Marquis and his wife and gave a wink to someone on the side.

"My lord, my lady. The young master has already returned to his residence."

Princess Fu'an was taken aback. They were going back already?

"Send someone to summon the Crown Prince to me."

Princess Fu'an was truly speechless with her son at this point. She had already agreed to the marriage, so why wasn't she even bringing the woman to meet the family?

Marquis Wanning's expression remained calm. Looking at his somewhat helpless wife, he asked with some doubt, "Shouldn't you have gotten used to our son's temperament by now?"

Having done whatever he wanted since childhood, Xuanwen has never cared about other people's feelings.

"Alright." Marquis Wanning raised his hand and took his wife's hand. "You will see her naturally tonight."

"Children and grandchildren have their own blessings, so let's not worry about it too much."

"Besides, haven't you always let Xuanwen do what he wants? At least for now, he seems quite happy."

Hearing her husband's words, she suddenly remembered how her son's cheeks turned red when he mentioned that girl.

Indeed, he really liked that girl.

"Never mind. Remember to invite them to dinner tonight."

If Qiao Xuanwen knew what his parents were thinking right now, he would definitely feel very innocent.

He usually leaves home in the morning to eat, drink, and have fun with his friends, and doesn't return until the evening.

He had always lived like this, never expecting his parents to be waiting for him today.

Actually, while in the carriage, seeing Liu Yin lying sweetly in his arms, Qiao Xuanwen was already somewhat distracted.

However, he was worried that Liuyin was tired, so he thought he should let her rest first.

As soon as he entered the Marquis's residence, he couldn't wait to lead his men back to his courtyard.

Changqing had previously mentioned to him that because things happened so suddenly, the courtyard prepared for Liuyin had not yet been decorated.

The place where the future Crown Princess will live cannot be too bad.

Changqing was about to urge the others to hurry up when Qiao Xuanwen stopped him.

Why bother with a courtyard? Just live with him. They'll be getting married soon anyway, so there's no need to worry about these formalities.

But when he actually led Liu Yin into his room, Qiao Xuanwen's smiling face suddenly froze, revealing a strange sense of restraint.

Immediately, her cheeks flushed red.

Liu Yin noticed his expression and shifted her gaze from examining the room's decorations to the man's face.

Liu Yin noticed that men do blush quite often; she had seen it happen many times since yesterday.

However, he is quite good-looking, and looking at him like this, he is quite a sight to behold.

Liu Yin suddenly spoke up, "I'm a little tired."

Upon hearing this, Qiao Xuanwen's face turned even redder. "Then let's rest here."

He didn't prepare a house for Liuyin at all; she could just stay here and live with him.

Liu Yin smiled shyly and gently, "Why don't you come with me?"

"I'm a little scared since I just got here."

As long as he's not afraid of getting tired, why should she refuse?

"good."
