"Little Chang'an, come here, we should say goodbye." Xie Shaoling called to Xie Chang'an, who had been sitting in the corner covering his ears.
Almost as soon as Xie Shaoling finished speaking, Xie Chang'an stood up, carried a stool back, and came back.
After putting down the stool, he stood expressionless beside Xie Shaoling.
"Zhizhi, this little guy's surname is Ye, so whatever he does for you is what he should do and what you deserve. You don't need to be anxious about it." Before leaving, Xie Shaoling said meaningfully to Zhizhi.
Ye Jingchen: !
He never expected that Xie Shaoling would betray him before leaving.
Although the name 'Little Leaf' is easy to associate with royalty, associations are one thing, but making it explicit is another!
Ye Jingchen wanted to make Zhi Zhi his own and would eventually tell her his identity, but that would be after they had a deeper understanding of each other, not now, after they had only met twice.
Fortunately, Da Yuan has been around for several generations, and there are many members of the royal family in the capital, so his disguise won't be completely exposed immediately.
However, today's incident also served as a lesson for Ye Jingchen. He chose to make a deal with Zhizhi without conducting sufficient investigation and understanding of her, letting his emotions outweigh his rationality, which turned Zhizhi from a hidden card into an open card.
However, given Zhizhi's relationship with Xie Shaoling, if he hadn't acted first, he probably wouldn't have been involved later.
Xie Shaoling's words today clearly showed that he was very protective of this young girl.
Let's play with our cards face up. We have our uses for face-down cards, and we have our ways of playing with our cards face up.
"Uncle Xie is right, we brothers are indeed members of the Ye family, so what I've done for you is what I should do, and you don't need to be too grateful," Ye Jingchen said to Zhizhi, holding Chenxi's hand.
Zhi looked at Ye Jingchen and Chenxi in surprise.
To them, royalty is high above, unattainable, and naturally worshipped and required to be knelt before; there is no question of what is right or wrong.
But Xiao Ye seems too approachable, not at all like royalty.
And then there's her older brother, the one who saved her from those beggars. He doesn't seem like Xiao Ye's brother at all; he looks more like a bodyguard or something.
However, when Xiao Ye and the others came over, Xiao Ye was carrying a lot of things, while the older brother was empty-handed. If the older brother really was a guard, it wouldn't make sense.
After all, no guard could feel at ease letting his master, who was still a child, carry a lot of things while he himself was empty-handed.
"Big brother, can I know your name?" Zhizhi looked at Chenxi nervously and asked.
Although the older brother seemed quiet and aloof, the way he chased away those three beggars for me was so dashing, like a chivalrous knight.
Chenxi hesitated for a moment before saying his name.
"Dawn".
"Does it mean the first ray of light in the morning?" Zhi asked.
Chenxi nodded.
"Great name! It perfectly suits the older brother's temperament," Zhizhi said.
Ye Jingchen glanced at Zhizhi, then at Chenxi. Was he overthinking it? Why did he feel that this little girl looked at Chenxi differently?
Also, Chenxi has a special feeling for this little girl.
How can you casually tell outsiders the names of secret guards, especially the names of your personal secret guards?
"What kind of look is that?" Chenxi withdrew her hand and said to Ye Jingchen with a look of disgust.
Look at this difference! Anyone with eyes can see it at a glance!
Ye Jingchen glanced at Chenxi with a resentful look.
Chenxi put her hands behind her back, too lazy to look at Ye Jingchen's stupid appearance anymore.
"Where are the nannies who take care of you and the teachers who teach you to read?" Ye Jingchen asked Zhizhi.
Zhizhi's expression immediately became somewhat awkward.
"When Brother Xie brought Chang'an over, they made an excuse to leave."
Ye Jingchen then understood.
This person must have gone out to deliver a message and, incidentally, to hide from the Xie family father and son.
Unfortunately, before their message reached Chenxi, Ye Jingchen and Chenxi arrived first.
In this era, unlike the modern world with its advanced internet, the transmission of information is inevitably delayed.
However, although his and Chenxi's disguises were not very obvious, Xie Chang'an, that guy who could see through all their disguises by some unknown method, was still there. Even if they avoided it today, it was only a matter of time before their identities were exposed.
"Can you show us how the renovation of this house is going?" Ye Jingchen asked Zhizhi with a smile.
"Of course you can, Xiao Ye, Brother Chenxi, come with me!"
Seeing that Ye Jingchen really didn't hold her accountable for telling Brother Xie about their deal, and didn't seem unhappy at all, I finally felt relieved and happily led them to visit the newly renovated house.
"Brother Chenxi—" Ye Jingchen lagged a few steps behind, walking beside Chenxi, and deliberately imitated Zhizhi's tone to call out to Chenxi.
"Brother Chenxi, do you feel like your soul is floating?" he asked in a low voice.
"Did you take the wrong medicine?" Chenxi asked sincerely.
"If the little girl can call you Brother Chenxi, why can't I?" Ye Jingchen asked, dissatisfied.
"Your moaning is too lewd," Chenxi said directly.
Although he was also puzzled as to why he could feel 'creepy' from an eight-year-old child.
But he began to feel some sympathy for Xie Chang'an.
Perhaps Xie Chang'an felt the same way when he was called "Chang'an Brother", which is why he was so resistant to it.
Ye Jingchen: !
He doubted his own ears.
