Chapter 19
"Aunt Luo, why are you here? I miss you so much!" Xiaoyue'er, who had been guarding the door of the mansion, saw Yi Luoyue getting off the carriage, and rushed over to hold her hand.
"Little girl, do you still remember me?" Yi Luoyue stretched out his hand and pinched her face with amusement.
"Yeah, I've been waiting for you to come to me."
"Liefeng, I'm honored to meet Her Royal Highness. Miss Yue'er, please don't be rude. This is Her Royal Highness."
When Miss Yue'er didn't know Yi Luoyue's identity, it wouldn't be rude to call her anything. After all, she was the adopted daughter of the Prince of Xiyi. Although she didn't have the title of princess, she was equivalent to a princess. But now she was the legitimate princess of Yi Kingdom, and her status was even more noble.
"No problem."
"Is it that I can't call you Aunt Luo anymore?"
"Of course you can! Aunt Luo has allowed Xiaoyue to continue calling me Aunt Luo. This is Xiaoyue's privilege." Yi Luoyue patted her little head lovingly.
"I knew Aunt Luo was the best. Xiaoyue loves you so much, just like mommy does!" The little guy hugged her arm and acted coquettishly without any hesitation.
"You! Liefeng, I'm taking this little guy away. Tell your Highness about this."
"Yes, Your Highness. My Highness will pick up Miss Yue'er later."
"Well. Xiaoyue, let's go then?" Yi Luoyue took her hand and walked towards the carriage parked nearby.
"Goodbye, Uncle Liefeng."
Liefeng looked at their backs. If he said Miss Yue'er looked like his prince, she probably looked more like Princess Yue.
On both sides of Yidu's main street, lined with stone pavement, are rows of ginkgo trees, their trunks straight and their leaves turning from glossy green to golden yellow. The trees stretch for hundreds of feet, a vibrant expanse of lush greenery. To the left, behind the shops, lies a canal suitable for boats. On either side of the canal are stone steps, providing convenient access for residents to wash clothes and other household items.
"Really?" Yi Luoyue chuckled softly.
"Really, really. Daddy is super ticklish." He would surrender as soon as I pinched him.
"Then why do you pinch?"
"Hmm..." Xiaoyue pretended to be silent.
"Because I'm weak and Daddy's body is too hard, I can only pinch him to make him feel itchy." She stuck out her tongue.
It's too hard... Help! Images appeared in her mind uncontrollably. She had to say that his body felt really good. She could tell he exercised regularly just by touching it.
"Xiao Yue'er, can you tell me when you met your father?" She was very curious why Gong Yuchen would adopt a child as his adopted daughter? Although Xiao Yue'er was very good.
"We've known each other for a long time, a long time, but Daddy has only known me for a short time."
This sentence sounded a bit strange, and Yi Luoyue, who thought he was very talented, was also confused.
"Then you know Gong Yuchen...Oh, where did your father live before?" The more she looked at this little girl, the more she liked her.
"I can't say." Xiaoyue shook her head.
"Why?"
"I just can't say it." The little girl was a little depressed.
"So, do you plan to live here forever?" What she actually wanted to ask was whether she would return to Xiyi with Gong Yuchen. To be honest, she didn't want her to leave. Really, she just didn't want her to leave. She had no other thoughts. No!
"I don't know! I'm also worried about what to do if I stay here and can't go back."
"Where to go back to? Western Yi?"
She ignored Yi Luoyue's question and continued muttering to herself.
"But I want to go back. But if I can't go back, Daddy won't chase me away, right?" The little guy looked a little sad.
Yi Luoyue didn't quite understand Xiaoyue'er's childish words and could only barely understand her question.
"Uh...I don't think so!" After thinking for a while, he added.
"I like you too! If your father doesn't want you anymore... I mean if, uh... would you consider living with Aunt Luo?"
"Is it okay?" After solving the problem that had troubled her for several days, Xiaoyueer immediately returned to her original carefree state.
"Of course you can! Aunt Luo likes Xiaoyue'er very much. It's because our Xiaoyue is so cute." She pinched her face and suddenly laughed softly. She held her tightly in her right arm and laughed so hard that even the carriage shook.
"Are you hungry? Let's go eat something?" They had been walking around for a while, and the child must be hungry too.
"Will Daddy be unable to find us later?" Xiaoyue was a little worried.
"It's okay. Aunt Luo has asked the owner of Nishang Pavilion to keep an eye on it. Your father will tell him when he gets there." Yi Luoyue straightened Xiaoyue'er's hair.
"good."
Having spent most of the day with Gong Mingxue and Xiao Yue'er yesterday, he had even completely forgotten about his rumored girlfriend, "Princess Yue". Now, when he heard that Yi Luoyue was coming to the restaurant, he showed up immediately to maintain his image as a pursuer.
"Hey! What's the wind blowing today? It's so rare for Her Royal Highness the Princess to visit us." Meeting Yi Luoyue's eyes, he greeted her first.
"Second Master Li, are you so free today as well?"
"I'm just curious, why do you think I have nothing to do except being idle?
"You? Has anyone else said that?"
"I know, Aunt Xue." Xiaoyue, who was following behind Yi Luoyue, flashed out.
"Hi! Uncle Li, we meet again."
"Xiao Yue'er? Why is it you?" Li Fei looked at the little person who suddenly appeared in surprise.
"Do you know each other?" Yi Luoyue didn't expect Li Fei to know Xiaoyue'er.
"Yes! Uncle Li is Aunt Xue's friend."
"Auntie Xue? Could she be the one who caused cousin Li Fei to fall in love with someone else?"
"Xiao Yue'er, do you recognize her?"
Li Fei also didn't expect that these two people who had no connection with each other could know each other.
"That's right, we have known each other for a long time!" Xiaoyue said with a wrinkled nose.
"Yeah! You get to know everyone instantly." He teased the little girl.
"Please come in. It's a rare opportunity for you to come. I'll treat you today." After saying that, he led the two beauties to the private room upstairs.
About half an hour later, Gong Yuchen and Gong Mingxue also entered the restaurant, searching for the customers in the store. However, after looking around, they did not find the person they were looking for, so they wanted to call the waiter to ask.
"Miss Gong? Are you here to see the Second Master?" The shop owner came over to greet her as soon as he saw Gong Mingxue. The Second Master said that he should be more polite when meeting Miss Gong in the future.
"Second Master?" Gong Yuchen looked at Gong Mingxue who was feeling a little uncomfortable.
"Ah! No, shopkeeper, have you seen the little girl who came with me that day?" Gong Mingxue quickly changed the subject. She didn't want her cousin to know about Li Fei.
"Oh, yes, they are in the private room upstairs. Let me take you two upstairs." After saying that, he led them upstairs.
As soon as I arrived outside the private room, I heard the silver bell-like laughter of Yi Luoyue and Xiaoyue'er.
Why are they so happy?
After knocking on the door, Gong Yuchen and the others walked into the room. A figure rushed towards Li Fei with a cry.
"Daddy, you're here."
Well... saying that they were "jubilant" was a bit of an exaggeration, because among the three of them, Xiaoyue was probably the one who seemed really excited.
In fact, as soon as she entered the room, Yi Luoyue's eyes fell on Gong Yuchen. What a coincidence, Gong Yuchen was also wearing a sky blue long gown today, which just matched her Luo skirt. He lazily tied up his thick hair with a headband inlaid with white jade. Although simple, it could not hide his natural outstanding grace. She also happened to have a white jade pearl hairpin, so the two of them were very well matched today.
But there was a girl following behind him. Who was this girl? And what should she call her? It was a very uncomfortable feeling, making her feel a little uncomfortable and a little painful in her heart. Could it be an illusion?
When Li Fei saw that the people who came in were Gong Yuchen and Gong Mingxue, he secretly said in his heart, "Oh no!" How could "she" appear here! Now, not only his rumored girlfriend, but also Gong Mingxue's rumored girlfriend gathered together. Is this the real-life version of a large-scale adultery scene? The scene at this moment made him feel inexplicably guilty.
Help! What kind of massive Shura field is this?! Gong Mingxue was also stunned when she saw Li Fei. Why was he here? Could the person next to him be Princess Yue, Yi Luoyue?
Xiaoyue'er is probably the most comfortable person among the five people in the room. After all, everyone else has their own discomfort.
"Aunt Xue, this is Aunt Luo. She's Princess Yue, and she's Uncle Li's good friend. She's as beautiful as my mother!"
In fact, the two women had been looking at each other since they entered the door.
It turns out that Princess Yue "Yi Luoyue" is so charming and attractive. Compared with her, Gong Mingxue feels that she is ugly and shabby like a maid. Of course, compared with Princess Yue, she is a person of inferior status. Only a beauty like this can be worthy of the handsome Li Fei, right?
"Aunt Luo, this is Aunt Xue, Daddy's cousin."
So this was Gong Yuchen's cousin, Gong Mingxue. She'd actually come with him today? Compared to her, I truly was the butterfly Gong Yuchen had described. While not particularly attractive, she possessed a fresh and refined aura. Could this be Gong Yuchen's ideal partner?
"Gong Che's daughter Gong Mingxue" greets Her Royal Highness the Princess. Long live Her Royal Highness the Princess." As a lower person, when meeting a superior, courtesy is essential.
"Miss Gong, please don't be so polite. This is not the palace, so please skip these empty formalities." Yi Luoyue asked her to stop politely and stand up.
"Thank you, Princess."
"Aunt Luo, let me tell you a secret."
"secret?"
"Uncle Li likes Aunt Xue!" She came to Gong Mingxue and held her hand.
"Xiao Yue'er! What nonsense are you talking about!" Gong Mingxue reached out to cover Xiao Yue'er's mouth with a bit of annoyance.
"Sorry, sorry, children are ignorant, please don't be offended."
"Woo woo..." Xiaoyue broke free from Gong Mingxue's hand and looked at Li Fei with her eyes rolling.
"Uncle Li! Did I say something wrong?"
The three of them were slightly stunned and turned their heads to look at Li Fei.
"Uh..." What should he say in public?
Gong Yuchen cast a cold glance at Li Fei. This time, he truly saw Li Fei's true appearance. Although he knew Li Fei, strictly speaking, he had met her but never met her. Could it be that his love for Yi Luoyue was just a rumor? And how was he related to his cousin?
"Second Master Li, don't you have anything to explain?" His handsome face was cold, with no other unnecessary expressions except "cold".
