"Why are you dressed so gaudyly?" Xie Chang'an noticed that Ye Jingchen had changed his clothes, and they were different from the clothes he had worn before, so he asked with some disdain.
"This is a birthday gift from Chenxi. What do you think? Does it look good?" Ye Jingchen stretched out his arms to show Xie Chang'an his new clothes.
Upon hearing this, Xie Chang'an glanced at Chen Xi and sincerely admired Ye Jingchen's courage and ability.
After he took over the original owner's body, he not only did not avoid the original owner's personal bodyguard, but also got along with him better than the original owner!
As far as he knew, Ye Jingchen had always looked down on this bodyguard and didn't trust him at all. But Ye Jingchen was different. How long had it been? He actually managed to get his personal bodyguard to send him a birthday gift? And a gift with special meaning, like clothes!
What a great relationship that must be!
He remembered that this bodyguard was quite powerful, wasn't he?
He's been watching over Ye Jingchen every day, didn't he notice anything unusual about him?
You have absolutely no doubts?
Is he blind?!
"Dressed up like a butterfly, what's so interesting about that!" Xie Chang'an said disdainfully.
He had barely finished speaking when he felt like he was being watched.
Following the gaze, I saw Chenxi's eyes, which seemed to be frozen in ice.
Ye Jingchen followed Xie Chang'an's gaze, turned around, and also saw Chenxi's eyes.
Xie Chang'an is really something; he can make Chenxi angry with just two sentences.
It seems that the girl who made his clothes was indeed very important to Chenxi.
"Different strokes for different folks. You may not like it, but I do!" Ye Jingchen said, affectionately touching the butterfly embroidered on the front of his outer robe.
“Young man, my son has a mouth that can’t speak. If you’re angry, you can teach him a lesson directly. I won’t mind,” Xie Shaoling said directly to Chenxi.
“I don’t mind either!” Xu Jingjing quickly added.
Sometimes, when children misbehave, they still need to be disciplined.
Xie Chang'an glared at his father.
When it comes to sharp tongues, my father is definitely the originator; he's nothing compared to him.
Does the father have the right to say that to him?
Besides, he was just telling the truth. A garment with so many embroidered patterns would just be gaudy and flashy!
Only Ye Jingchen would like that!
Although Chenxi was very angry, he knew he couldn't bring himself to bully a six-year-old kid like that.
Although Xie Chang'an is indeed quite annoying.
He glanced coldly at Xie Chang'an, then looked away, his eyes downcast, as if he were in deep meditation.
"Thank you, Uncle Xie, for the crossbow. I really like it!" Seeing that Chenxi didn't seem to care, Ye Jingchen quickly changed the subject.
Xie Chang'an looked at Ye Jingchen in surprise.
He didn't say anything. How did Ye Jingchen know that the crossbow was made by his father?
"How did Your Highness know that I sent this crossbow? I thought someone was going to take credit for it!" Xie Shaoling glanced at Xie Chang'an with a half-smile.
Ye Jingchen also smiled, "Brother Chang'an didn't say it explicitly, but judging from his particular interest in that crossbow, I guessed that it was a gift from Uncle Xie."
Xie Chang'an felt like becoming withdrawn.
But Ye Jingchen had no intention of letting him off easily.
“Brother Chang’an, since the crossbow was a birthday gift from Uncle Xie, shouldn’t you give me a birthday gift in return?” He walked up to Xie Chang’an, bent down slightly, and asked with a smile, his face to face.
Too close!
Xie Chang'an subconsciously took a step back.
But after stepping back, he became somewhat annoyed, so he took another step forward.
Let's get close, face to face, who's afraid of who?
"What belongs to my father is mine, isn't it? What he gave me is the same as what I gave him?"
He didn't have anything to give Ye Jingchen.
"Hey, hey, hey, I am me, and you are you. Don't confuse me with you!" Xie Shaoling quickly said.
“Exactly! Chang’an, you have such a good relationship with His Highness the Crown Prince, didn’t you prepare a birthday gift for him?” Xu Jingjing asked.
Xie Chang'an couldn't understand why his father and mother both thought he had a good relationship with Ye Jingchen.
Ye Jingchen's feigned intimacy was so fake, couldn't his parents tell?
He'd be truly foolish if he believed it!
"You didn't really not prepare a birthday gift for me, did you?" Seeing Xie Chang'an remain silent, Ye Jingchen immediately performed a smile-disappearing act for him, seamlessly switching from happiness to sadness.
Xie Chang'an: ......
play!
Keep going!
He remained unmoved!
But he forgot that Ye Jingchen's audience wasn't just him, but also his father and mother.
He could remain unmoved, but his parents were the most susceptible to this.
With a "smack," Xie Shaoling slapped him again without hesitation. "You brat, what kind of attitude is that? Do you think you're all that? What are you so arrogant about all day long? Be careful you don't end up alone!"
Xie Shaoling's blow was quite forceful; even Ye Jingchen felt a headache coming on just listening to it.
"You child, His Highness the Crown Prince treats you so well, yet you didn't even prepare a birthday gift. You have no heart!" Xu Jingjing scolded.
Upon hearing this, Ye Jingchen almost couldn't keep up his act of sadness.
"Uncle Xie, Princess Consort, please don't blame Chang'an. I think he didn't mean it. He must have been too busy and forgot. It's alright, as long as he makes it up to me now."
Xie Chang'an covered his head, his lips twitching violently.
What, is he determined to keep going until he gets his birthday gift today?
