The maid took Yan Zhuo and Yan Ling away. Yan Cheng's gaze shifted back to the handsome young man's face. He had a standard smile on his face, like a gentle and elegant young man from a noble family.
He is the fake one that Xie Guangling mentioned, Xie Mingyun.
"My father had something to ask me just now, so I couldn't go to the door to greet Second Young Master Yan. I hope Second Young Master Yan will forgive me."
Compared with the others who hid far away, Xie Mingyun's attitude was very enthusiastic. I don't know if it was because the person standing here was Yan Cheng, or because he was like this to everyone.
This is a very versatile and difficult person to deal with.
Yan Cheng thought to himself, who had never ignored him from the beginning until now.
Even though he had no good feelings towards this fake young master who took his friend's identity and refused to leave after his friend returned home, he couldn't say what was wrong with him at this time.
"I heard that Second Young Master Yan and my brother have been good friends for many years. I think Second Young Master Yan may be confused because he didn't see my brother. But there's no need to worry. My brother is with grandfather and will be here soon."
It’s no wonder that Xie Guangling’s biological parents couldn’t bear to part with such a gentle and considerate person.
In comparison, Xie Guangling cannot keep a gentle mask on his face all the time, nor does he go out of his way to please others.
Although he is gentle and considerate, he only shows his soft side to people he approves of.
Yan Cheng smiled and said, "It's a good thing that Guangling is with Prime Minister Xie. Guangling and I are good friends and we have many opportunities to meet on weekdays. There's no need for him to come and accompany me on a day like this."
Xie Mingyun said, "Since my brother hasn't come yet, why don't I take the Second Young Master and your sister for a walk around the mansion?"
Just now, the maid poured tea and wet Yan Ling's clothes, and led Yan Ling to change clothes. Yan Zhuo also followed. Now Xie Mingyun wanted to take them away from the crowd.
Is it possible that when they get to a place with fewer people, they will have to find a way to separate him and Yan Xi?
This really does seem like some kind of unspeakable conspiracy.
He moved forward calmly, blocking Yan Xi, who was a little shorter than him, behind him and preventing her from speaking.
"Thank you, Master, for your kindness. However, I'm afraid that my eldest brother and cousin will be worried when they come back and can't find us. Before we left, our parents told us not to cause trouble for them, so we can't just wander around."
Looking at Xie Mingyun's flawless smile in front of him, Yan Cheng also smiled in a very standard way, in other words, it seemed like a fake smile.
Xie Mingyun said, "With me accompanying you two, how can you be considered wandering around? I promise to bring you two back safely."
Although Xie Mingyun's voice was calm when he said this, Yan Cheng felt that he was anxious.
After all, most people will hardly invite someone a second time after being rejected openly once.
Unless that person is shameless or has something to hide.
"Xie Mingyun, Young Master Yan has already said he doesn't want to go with you, why are you still pestering me?"
A female voice interrupted from the side, and a girl wearing a light pink palace dress and a gorgeous headdress came over, followed by a girl with a dull face.
Yan Cheng seemed to sense something, and turned his head slightly to glance at the girl in palace dress. He looked into the girl's eyes and noticed a hint of melancholy in her pupils.
"The Fourth Princess."
Xie Mingyun obviously knew the girl in the lead. He seemed a little surprised to see her. He paused for a moment before bowing. When he saw the other girl, his expression froze for a moment.
Then the voice became even more hesitant, "...Fifth Princess."
It’s the fifth princess!
She actually came to attend the poetry meeting at the Xie Mansion. Yan Xi first imprinted the Fifth Princess's appearance in his mind, and then looked at his younger brother.
However, Yan Cheng had his back to her, and she could only see the back of his head, which was dark. She couldn't tell whether Yan Cheng was happy, sad, or angry.
In fact, Yan Cheng was just a little surprised, and then he felt admiration for the Fifth Princess.
He had thought that at this time, the Fifth Princess, a girl of thirteen or fourteen, would not be able to accept the disparity in her background and would hide somewhere and not want to see anyone.
I didn't expect that he would show up here openly, not afraid of other people's strange looks and unpleasant comments at all.
It seems that he underestimated the fifth princess. She is obviously a very strong girl.
"Fourth Princess, Fifth Princess."
After Xie Mingyun spoke, the others followed suit and saluted, and then they all ate melons in silence.
What will happen when the real prince who has been living away from home for many years collides with the fake princess who has been favored for many years?
Oh, this is exciting.
After hearing Yan Cheng address her the same way as everyone else, the Fourth Princess frowned and said, "You don't have to call me the Fourth Princess. We're all family. Just call me Fourth Sister!"
The implication is that she acknowledges Yan Cheng as her younger brother.
Huh? So direct?
They seem to be easy to get along with.
The Fourth Princess' words were too sudden and somewhat confusing. Yan Cheng took a while to react, but the Fourth Princess had already shifted her focus to look at Yan Xi.
"Are you his sister?"
The Fourth Princess had never known who was in the Yan family. For her, all she needed to know was that she had a younger brother who grew up in the Yan family.
"Princess, I am his sister."
Yan Xi nervously clutched her handkerchief and nodded obediently. The person in front of her was a princess, and the legitimate princess born to the queen.
After the Fourth Princess finished speaking, she stared at Yan Xi, which made Yan Xi even more nervous. She didn't dare to look around, for fear of causing trouble for Yan Cheng.
She kept guessing what the fourth princess would say.
Then, "She's pretty good-looking."
Yan Xi: “…”
Praise her? That's too embarrassing.
Yan Xi's ears were burning. She was just thinking about how to praise the Fourth Princess when she heard her ask, "Do you have a brother? Is he as handsome as you?"
