Before Xiao Jinglin could say anything, Sister Wu, who had been standing nearby, glared at Xiao Jingyue and winked at him fiercely. Xiao Jingyue was stunned at first, then glanced at Yun Wenting and Xiao Jinglin. Suddenly, he understood.
"Well, Young Master Yun, you can't be so partial, right? You only invited my second brother? And you turned a blind eye to us, the insignificant people?"
Yun Wenting, who was waiting for Xiao Jinglin's response, was stunned when he heard this. He, Xiao Jingxi, and Xiao Jinglin were cousins. Xiao Jingyue's close relationship with the Su family was just a courtesy, and they rarely played together. That was why he didn't ask Xiao Jingyue if he wanted to go.
However, a young master like Yun Wenting generally wouldn't embarrass himself in public, so he quickly smiled. He nodded and smiled at Xiao Jingyue, "If Third Young Master Xiao is willing to do me the honor, I would be more than happy to do it."
Zhuo Yun Wenting looked at Sister Wu again and said politely, "If Sister Wu is free, please come along."
Xiao Jingyue winked at Sister Wu.
Sister Wu was now reserved. She lowered her head, tugged at the hem of her skirt, and whispered, "I'll go back and ask my grandmother for permission."
Yun Wenting nodded, then looked at Xiao Jinglin again.
Xiao Jinglin said calmly, "Yao Qi and I will take the pleasure boat later. There are too many people on the boat."
Everyone turned their attention to the pleasure boat. Ren Yaoqi had already gotten in. People outside could only see a vague silhouette of a young girl, who looked quiet and peaceful.
Ren Yaoqi thought about it and decided not to leave the cabin. It wasn't that she was being impolite. She wasn't Xiao Jinglin. She was on a boat, and most of the people outside didn't know each other. It wasn't a good opportunity to meet and greet people. Besides, if she lost her balance at the bow and fell into the river, she would have to bear the consequences.
Yun Wenting watched Xiao Jinglin open his mouth as if to think about something, but after a moment's thought, he gave up and said gently, "Then the princess, please stay safe and follow behind our ship as much as possible so we can take care of you."
Xiao Jinglin glanced at the woman on the bridge and said, "The pleasure boat is very stable. Unless someone deliberately disrupts it, nothing will happen. I will take good precautions."
At this time, the boat girl had changed into dry clothes, only her hair was still wet, which she wrapped with a thick headscarf.
Xiao Jinglin ordered her, "Let's go."
The boatwoman responded and went to the stern to steer the boat.
Xiao Jinglin nodded to the people on the bridge, turned around and went back to the cabin.
Yun Wenting was about to speak when Yun Wenfang, who was leaning against the bridge railing, spoke first: "Princess, my grandmother has prepared something for you for the Thousand Gold Banquet in a few days. When can you come over to visit?"
Yun Wenting glanced at Yun Wenfang in surprise, as if taken aback by his initiative to speak to Xiao Jinglin. Xiao Jinglin was aloof, and Yun Wenfang had a masterly temper. While they didn't exactly dislike each other, they had always been indifferent to each other. However, he said nothing, only looking at Xiao Jinglin.
Xiao Jinglin paused, turned around and glanced at Yun Wenfang, also a little surprised. After thinking for a moment, he nodded and replied, "I'll go when I'm free in a few days."
Yun Wenfang raised an eyebrow and smiled, glancing at the cabin. "Princess, why not bring the Ren family sister along? The Ren family took care of me when I was in Baihe Town. Third Master Ren even taught me how to play chess. My mother also wants to meet the Ren family sister."
