The next morning.
After getting up and washing up on New Year's Day, I changed my clothes and slipped out of the mansion without even having breakfast.
She didn't bring Jin Ying with her, but only brought out the sparrow.
Huo Xiaobawang, who usually sleeps until noon, got up early this morning for the first time ever. After quickly washing up, he led a group of servants to the place he had arranged to meet Yuandan.
It was rare for the burly Huo Xiaobawang to go for a run, and he was already panting heavily halfway through. When the servants saw him in such a hurry, they thought something urgent had happened. If they weren't heavier than Huo Youcai, they probably would have carried him on their backs.
So, when Huo Youcai arrived at his destination, breathless, Yuan Dan gave him a disapproving look from head to toe.
"You should lose weight."
Huo Youcai rubbed the fat on his belly and said helplessly, "I have to lose it."
His mother and grandmother were major obstacles on his weight loss journey.
Dressed in men's clothing, Yuan Dan walked ahead with an elegant air, waving a fan, and said, "This young master has created a set of weight loss exercises. I'll teach you another day."
Accustomed to a life of luxury, the pampered young master Huo tentatively asked, "Are you tired?"
Yuan Dan snapped her folding fan shut and poked him on the shoulder with the fan: "Want to marry the girl you like?"
Upon hearing this, Huo Youcai immediately perked up, his eyes shining as he looked at her and nodded, saying, "I want to."
"Oh?" Yuan Dan raised an eyebrow, a gossipy smile playing on his lips. "Does this mean you have someone you like?"
Huo Youcai scratched the back of his head sheepishly and chuckled awkwardly, "...Mm."
Which family's daughter is she?
The chubby boy smiled sheepishly and said, "The second young lady of the Fu family."
The Fu family?
Second Miss?
That's...
"Fu Qinglan?"
"Boss, you know her too?"
New Year:"……"
Of all people to fall for, this chubby boy had to pick the female lead.
That's the male lead's woman.
But this guy has a good eye.
“I don’t know her, but I’ve met her once.” Yuan Dan said casually, “On the day of the Mid-Autumn Festival, I met her with the Fifth Prince and the Ninth Prince at the Zhaiyue Tower with Wang…’s maid.”
“Mid-Autumn Festival…” Huo Youcai recalled for a moment, then his expression changed slightly.
On the day of the Mid-Autumn Festival, he was kicked out of the private room by Gan Wang and immediately fainted.
If Fu Qinglan had been at Zhaiyue Tower that day, wouldn't she have seen him in such a disheveled state?
"Boss, I..."
Yuan Dan glanced at him, knowing what he was going to ask, and nodded slightly, saying, "She saw it."
Huo Youcai suddenly felt like crying.
On New Year's Day, she said helplessly, "No, isn't your focus misplaced?"
Huo Youcai slumped his head: "Then what should I focus on?"
"Fu Qinglan and the Fifth Prince are having a gathering at Zhaiyue Tower." Yuan Dan said to the chubby boy without any hesitation, "Both of them are unmarried, how do you think they got together?"
Huo Youcai wasn't really stupid. He had already said so much on New Year's Day, how could he not understand?
Seeing that the little fat boy was quite upset, Yuan Dan felt a little sorry for him and paused for a moment before saying, "Even if Fu Qinglan didn't take a liking to the Fifth Prince, who do you think she would choose between you and the Fifth Prince?"
Is there even a need to guess?
Of course, we'd choose the handsome and dashing Fifth Prince.
The more Huo Youcai thought about it, the more he felt that he was utterly worthless compared to the Fifth Prince, so he looked at Yuan Dan expectantly and said, "Then, eldest brother, what do you think I should do?"
"You need to lose weight first."
"Then what?"
"Read more books."
Huo Youcai: "..."
But he's not cut out for studying.
Huo Youcai asked, looking aggrieved, "Do I still have to take the imperial examination?"
