Chapter 105 He is really useless (Part 1)
Some people around looked over curiously, their eyes lingering on Han Yao and Ye Chutang.
Gift?
These two people...
Ye Chutang smiled slightly, "I'm so sorry. On the day when Mr. Han came to visit, I left early in the morning with Ah Yan, Ah Feng and Xiao Wu. I didn't even have time to say hello. It was really rude. As for the gift you sent, it has been kept with Second Uncle. I heard from him that each one is rare."
Han Yao's smile froze for a few seconds.
Why does it sound as if this gift is not for Ye Chutang, but for Ye Heng?
Ye Heng also sensed something was wrong, and immediately explained with a smile: "Nephew, we are all aware of your sincere feelings."
He and Ye Chutang parted on bad terms that day. Ye Chutang walked away without even opening the boxes. He later forgot about it.
Who knew Ye Chutang would actually say this in public!
Han Yao vaguely sensed something, and the unnaturalness on his face quickly disappeared and he put on a smile.
"That's good, that's good!"
Last time at the cloth shop, he was given the cold shoulder by Ye Chutang, so he knew that proposing marriage would not be so smooth.
But it doesn’t matter, as long as Ye Heng agrees.
Anyway, Ye Chutang is now living under someone else's roof. She is only seventeen years old and both her parents have passed away. Naturally, all major matters will have to be arranged by Ye Heng.
He wanted to strike while the iron was hot, and continued to ask: "By the way, last time I--"
"Xiaowu should have arrived. I have to go pick her up, so I'll take my leave first." Ye Chutang interrupted Han Yao in a gentle but unquestionable voice.
After saying that, without waiting for Han Yao to answer, she stepped forward.
Han Yao didn't understand why, so he subconsciously reached out to stop him: "Wait a minute——"
Pop.
Ye Yunfeng followed beside Ye Chutang and raised his hand to block Han Yao's action with a sound that was neither light nor heavy.
He glanced sideways, his eyebrows and eyes were wild and sharp.
"If you have anything to say, please wait until my sister is free to listen."
Han Yao almost laughed out of anger. He ignored the stinging pain on the back of his hand and looked Ye Yunfeng up and down. "I'm talking to your uncle and sister. How can you interrupt me?"
Ye Jingyan glanced at him and said calmly: "It's not a big deal if it delays us from picking up Xiaowu, but it would be inappropriate to keep the prince waiting for too long."
Hearing this, Han Yao's face changed slightly: "What, what prince?"
Ye Yunfeng clapped his hands, as if he was afraid of getting stained with something dirty, and raised his eyebrows nonchalantly: "Of course it's the son of Dingbei Marquis. Why, Mr. Han doesn't recognize him?"
Han Yao didn't care about being angry at his action, and his heart suddenly became panicked.
This, this means... Ye Chutang is going to meet the son of Marquis Dingbei? No, why would her youngest sister be with the Prince of Dingbei?
Countless questions came to his mind, but Han Yao didn't dare to ask more. Suddenly, the indifferent look from that person when he was in Ye's house emerged in his mind.
Indifferent, calm, and cold.
Han Yao shivered unconsciously.
No matter how brave he is, he wouldn't dare to provoke that person!
In the moment when Han Yao was stunned, Ye Chutang had already passed him and went straight to the polo field.
Ye Shixian tightened her grip on the handkerchief and looked at Han Yao with disappointment.
Such a good opportunity, yet he missed it!
If he had said a few more words just now and been more motivated, everyone would have thought that there was something going on between him and Ye Chutang.
The result now is - it’s all wasted!
However, Ye Shixian did not show it, instead she gave an apologetic smile.
"Master Han, I'm so sorry. My cousin just returned to the capital not long ago, so she is still a little reserved. Besides, Lingzhi was raised by her, so she must be more attentive. If I have been negligent, I hope Master Han will forgive me."
There was no reason for Han Yao to refuse the opportunity that was handed to him.
He laughed: "Of course! Of course!"
…
The polo field was spacious and open, with a goal post standing and two teams gathered on the sidelines.
The horses were all strong and sleek, with smooth fur. The young men from various families who were preparing to ride in the race were dressed in tight clothes, long boots, and holding bats.
At first glance, they are all full of vigor and vitality.
Many people had already arrived at this time. Ye Chutang glanced around the room calmly and soon saw a tall figure.
Shen Yanchuan.
Xiaowu was nestling obediently in his arms, his little arms around his neck, his chubby, white face full of curiosity and excitement as he looked around.
Many people who had arrived early were stunned when they saw this scene.
Especially the noble ladies from various families who had been waiting for a long time, when they saw that handsome and beautiful face, the corners of their mouths just raised and then quickly froze.
"Isn't that... the prince of Dingbei? Why is he holding a child in his arms?"
"Whose little girl is that? I don't think I've seen her before!"
"He, he hasn't been back to Beijing for a few years, so could it be his daughter?!"
When these words were spoken, many women showed panic.
Someone nearby immediately retorted, "No way! That little girl has nothing to do with the prince! She is Ye Chutang's youngest sister! It is said that the little girl had just fallen ill a while ago, and the prince was afraid that she would catch a cold and have a relapse, so he brought her along."
The name Ye Chutang has been mentioned a lot recently.
So after hearing this, everyone immediately knew the identity of the little kid and all breathed a sigh of relief.
"I see……"
Ye Chutang saved the eldest princess and has been in frequent contact with the eldest princess's mansion recently. It is normal for Chen Yanchuan to take extra care of her and her youngest sister.
…
Suddenly, the big and the small seemed to have noticed something.
The moment Shen Yanchuan stopped, Xiao Wu was already waving his hands frantically at Ye Chutang.
——Sister! We are here!
Shen Yanchuan also turned around.
Eyes met.
Chen Yanchuan nodded slightly, and Xiaowu in his arms had already raised a bright smile.
Ye Chutang paused, suddenly feeling that something was not right.
This picture always feels weird...
"Sister?"
Seeing that she didn't move, Ye Yunfeng shouted in surprise.
Ye Chutang came back to his senses.
Maybe it’s because... it’s rare to see Xiaowu staying so obediently in the arms of a stranger, so when I first saw him, it felt a little sudden?
Ye Chutang lifted her skirt and walked forward.
When she came forward, she bowed and thanked him gently, "My Lord, thank you for waiting for a long time."
Shen Yanchuan smiled faintly: “Doctor Ye, you don’t have to be polite. In fact, we just arrived too.”
Um?
Ye Chutang was stunned.
They came in by carriage, so they should have arrived much earlier, so how come they just arrived?
Just as he was thinking about it, Xiaowu opened his arms.
Ye Chutang was about to hug her, but suddenly saw her open her little hands.
A bronze key lay quietly in her hand.
Ye Chutang blinked: "Did you unlock the chain lock?"
Xiaowu nodded vigorously, covering his mouth with his hands and smiling with his eyes curved.
——The prince gave her a little extra time, so of course she untied it!
Seeing her look of begging for praise, Ye Chutang couldn't help but smile and pinched her soft face.
"Why is our Xiaowu so powerful?"
…
In the distance, the eldest princess watched this scene and couldn't help but say:
"Why is Yanchuan so useless? Others of his age have married and had children, but what about him?"
