After a while, Ning Meng saw Xuan Mingze coming back and stopped talking with Liu Jiajia.
When Xuan Mingze left, he wanted to visit Xiao Jiu Villa together, but Xiao Jiu refused:
"I like quietness. Just go back and spend more time with your dad."
There are still two light bulbs at home that haven't been solved yet, and here comes another one.
That's not possible.
Ning Meng: I found that he could clearly refuse anything he didn't want to do. This kind of personality really doesn't hurt him.
Back home.
Dongfang Qie stared at Ning Meng and the others with unfriendly eyes, "Why did you two sneak out to play? And you didn't even take me with you!"
He noticed something was wrong while he was having lunch; two people were missing.
He wanted to call and ask immediately, but was stopped by Ji Beicheng.
"The light bulbs need to be more self-aware. It's time to let them be alone."
He also said that they should give the couple more time to develop their relationship, otherwise when the child is born, both parents will feel strange and without love.
Will his little nephew be happy in the future?
Dongfang Qie felt contempt in his heart.
He grew up watching his mother pulling his father's ears.
I don’t feel unhappy either.
At worst, I can just bring my nephew back to the Dongfang family to feel happy.
Ning Meng laughed awkwardly, "Ha! I brought you something delicious. Look at this little cake, it's handmade and delicious."
"Is it sweet?"
"Of course, but not too sweet."
"I'm asking about your relationship."
“…”
Ning Meng was speechless.
Xiao Jiu took a sip of the tea handed to him by the housekeeper and nodded, "It's very sweet."
"I'm saying what I feel."
Ji Beicheng laughed, "Yu~, really? Then I'll say goodbye tomorrow."
Dongfang Qie pursed his lips, "Tsk!"
The old man pretends to be affectionate, hoping that his sister will not be deceived.
Ji Beicheng patted Dongfang Qie's shoulder and winked at him, "Brother, it's Mid-Autumn Festival soon, aren't you going back?"
"I don't..."
"Of course he's going back. I'm going to take Mengmeng back to the palace for Mid-Autumn Festival. Brother-in-law, do you want to go on a blind date with me?"
Xiao Jiu smiled and interrupted Dongfang Qie's answer.
Dongfang Qie: "I don't want to." He looked at Ning Meng, "Why haven't I heard you mention it? Aren't you going back to Donglingzhou during the Mid-Autumn Festival?"
Ning Meng spread her hands and said, "I just found out today that His Majesty celebrates his birthday on Mid-Autumn Festival."
As her brother's wife, it would be difficult for her not to go.
Thinking that the longevity fruit had been grown and matured by her during this period, she decided to give one to His Majesty as a birthday gift. She could then let him eat it and keep the seed.
"Brother, when you leave, please bring that longevity fruit to grandpa for me. Remember to let him eat it."
But if you can extend your lifespan, any extra decades you can live is decades.
Then she can plant more.
"Yeah, no problem."
Dongfang Qie felt reluctant to leave Ning Meng when he thought about going back tomorrow. "Sister, you have to take good care of yourself when I go back."
"rest assured."
She is very independent.
"Don't worry, I'm here."
Xiao Jiu smiled and put his hand on Ning Meng's shoulder to declare his sovereignty.
Ning Meng turned around and looked at him, but was burned by his passionate gaze. She quickly lowered her eyes and was defeated.
After dinner, Xiao Jiu accompanied her for a walk. Her brother originally wanted to follow, but Ji Beicheng dragged him to the lake to fish.
Dongfang Qie was dragged away and complained, "I'm so tired of fishing today!"
Really, why does this person always pull him away? He usually takes his sister for a walk.
Ji Beicheng: "It's okay, wait and see I'll catch you a big fish."
Ning Meng saw the two of them gradually walking away.
He turned around and said to Xiao Jiu, "Let's go."
There are many maple trees planted beside the road, and they are red and green under the setting sun. The figures of Ning Meng and Xiao Jiu are stretched out by the sunlight.
She looked at their shadows on the ground and had the illusion that a long time had passed.
"Xiao Jiu."
"Um."
"Can you tell me about your childhood?"
After observing the whole day, Ning Meng came to his senses and wanted to go further.
But she felt that they should start by understanding each other.
"Of course, when I was a kid..."
Xiao Jiu recounted his childhood experiences in a calm voice.
It was more of a process of breakthrough and learning than an experience. Ning Meng also learned for the first time that the queen died shortly after giving birth to him.
He was basically raised by his royal brother. As a descendant of the royal family, he naturally had a lot to learn and practice.
Supernatural powers and spells, academic management, and many more...if it were someone else, it would probably be bored to death.
But Xiao Jiu was different. He learned things very quickly, so quickly that his teachers had to be replaced one after another due to his frustration.
So much so that by the age of 20, he had completed all the courses assigned to the prince.
I heard that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince didn't finish learning until he was 40 years old.
He feels that the most relaxing and enjoyable things are drinking tea and fishing.
Ning Meng listened with a smile throughout the whole process and also talked about her own preferences. The two exchanged little secrets and suddenly felt that they were one step closer to each other.
On the way back, the two of them naturally walked hand in hand.
Ning Meng finally expressed her thoughts today.
"Look, feelings are something that happens naturally. Give us a little more time, and it will be fine."
No need to learn...those deliberately strange behaviors.
It's very stiff.
Xiao Jiu covered his mouth with his hand and coughed, "...Ahem, that's right."
He shouldn't have listened to Ji Beicheng's alarmist words.
What he said was: If you don’t catch up with your wife, she will run away after giving birth to the child, and the child may be taken to the Dongfang family to be raised.
