Chapter 392 Meeting to Express Feelings
"When I came out, I saw my sister holding Snowball in the yard. I thought you might bring Little Ice Cream over, so I brought Snowball over so that they could be reunited."
Song Yu smiled and said, "If it weren't for my Lan'er reminding me, I might have forgotten about the little ice cream. After all, I came here today to thank you. Or maybe the people from your Dali Temple are good at keeping an eye on people, so they discovered it just a few days ago."
Mu Jingxing was stunned. "You mean my people have made some progress in keeping an eye on Du Zhihuan?"
Song Yu nodded with a smile and asked Chunhua to bring the food box. "I don't have anything special to offer right now, so I went to the kitchen and made you some cheese-flavored peony fruit cake to express my gratitude. Come and try it."
Mu Jingxing looked at the delicious peony fruit cake and was at a loss for what to do. "Miss Song, I don't want to accept rewards without any merit. The people I arranged haven't found any useful clues yet."
Song Yu was stunned. "How is that possible? Who was secretly passing the message to me?"
Could it be her father?
Impossible!
Her father didn't even know that she was secretly watching Du Zhihuan.
Mu Jingxing asked, "Was the day you received the news the same day Du Zhihuan went to visit Zhiji Huanzhang?"
"No, it was the next day."
Mu Jingxing: "The person I arranged came back that night and reported that he discovered someone else was also watching Du Zhihuan. This person must have passed the information to you. The other party must know your every move."
Song Yu was shocked. Could it really be his father?
If she was her father's person, she should have discovered Du Zhihuan's trick long ago.
"Who do you think is helping you secretly?"
"I haven't told anyone except you who's keeping an eye on Du Zhihuan. It can't be my eldest cousin, nor can it be someone from my cousin Meng."
Song Yu didn't dwell on it any further and took out the peony fruit cake from the food box. "Try it now! It's made just for you! It's still warm."
Seeing her holding the plate, Mu Jingxing was worried that she would tire her arms, so he quickly reached out to take it. He obediently picked up a peony fruit cake and tasted it slowly.
Seeing him eating in an elegant manner, Song Yu couldn't help but smile. Good-looking people look good no matter how you look at them.
Seeing that he had finished eating, Song Yu asked, "How is it? How does it taste?"
Mu Jingxing smiled and said, "It tastes better than the last time I ate it."
Song Yu raised an eyebrow. "Just now you said that you shouldn't accept rewards without merit, and now you've eaten my peony fruit cake..."
"Miss Song," Mu Jingxing interrupted her with a smile. "I wouldn't eat for nothing. I'll arrange for someone to investigate that mysterious man when I get back. Oh, and I'll also send a few more people to keep an eye on Du Zhihuan."
He was wrong. Du Zhihuan really had other intentions. He should have had more people, so that the mysterious man would not have had the chance to take credit.
"You also need to help me keep an eye on the yard in the west of the city." Song Yu told Mu Jingxing the specific situation there.
At this time, the shopkeeper came in and said respectfully, "Miss, lunch is ready. Would you like it to be brought in now?"
"Send it in."
Song Yu glanced at Bai Lan, and Bai Lan turned and left. When she came back, she had a set of bowls and chopsticks in her hand. She put them on the table and stepped aside.
Mu Jingxing was a little surprised when he saw this, "Miss Song, is anyone else coming later?"
Song Yu frowned slightly. He seemed to have forgotten everything. "You said you met a good friend in Jiang's bamboo forest. He would treat any girl he chose with all his heart and dote on her. Didn't you say that you would let me meet the young man you mentioned when we meet again? Didn't you forget to bring him with you?"
"I brought it!" Mu Jingxing suddenly clenched his hands on his legs into fists, and instantly broke out in a sweat.
"Where are the others?"
Song Yu clearly sensed that the man opposite her was breathing heavier. She looked up at him carefully and found that his ears were red.
“We’re already here.”
"Are we there yet?" Song Yu subconsciously looked towards the door and met Bai Lan's giddy face.
Bai Lan winked at her. Master Mu is that young master!
Song Yu retracted his gaze and said with a puzzled look: "I didn't hear any footsteps on the stairs. Where is he? If he doesn't come, we won't wait for him. Let's eat first."
"Prince!"
Xiao Fei now knew who that young man was.
Isn’t he just the prince!
It turned out that the prince and Miss Song expressed their feelings in a roundabout way that day.
Miss Song didn't realize it at first, and now she doesn't point it out directly, which really makes him anxious.
"Isn't that young man..."
Mu Jingxing glanced at him and Xiao Fei quickly shut up.
The prince has to say it himself.
"Prince Mu, who is that young man? Didn't you say I have seen him before?" Song Yu looked at him in confusion.
"he……"
"Hey, let's not wait any longer. The food is getting cold. Let's eat first."
“…That young man is me.”
Mu Jingxing said this, and the room fell silent for a moment.
Mu Jingxing saw Song Yu looking at him with her cherry lips slightly opened.
He became more and more nervous, wondering if he was too abrupt and scared Miss Song.
Song Yu couldn't believe it, "That young master is you?"
Mu Jingxing said in a low voice, "Yes, it's me."
Song Yu's heart was pounding. Her intuition was right. Prince Mu really did like her a little!
"You...you don't like women, do you?"
Song Yu looked calm as usual, but her cheerful voice betrayed her.
Mu Jingxing's heart was in turmoil, and he didn't notice it for a moment, but when he heard her say that, he quickly explained: "That's a rumor. I'm not that cruel. The girls who were sent to Shuiyun Temple were not innocent."
Xiao Fei quickly interrupted, "They drugged our young master to destroy his reputation. These are despicable tactics. Sending them to Shuiyun Temple is to encourage them to reform. Otherwise, they will be sent to the government and sentenced to prison. They may even be exiled and have their children's marriages affected. Our young master is simply too kind-hearted."
"Oh, I see." Song Yu picked up the food with his chopsticks and took a few bites. After a moment, he turned his head to look at Bai Lan at the door and said, "Lan'er, you all should go and have your meal."
Xiao Fei reacted quickly and left the room, closing the door tightly.
Song Yu wanted to know exactly what he was thinking, so she looked into his beautiful eyes and asked directly, "Do you have a girl you've decided on?"
Mu Jingxing didn't dare to say it out loud for a moment, for he was afraid that Miss Song was still in love with her cousin.
But if he doesn't say it now, once Miss Song renegotiates the marriage with her cousin, he will have no chance to say it.
"Of course I have."
Song Yu lowered his eyes to suppress the excitement in his eyes, "Then who is she from?"
"She is...she is engaged to someone else."
Song Yu: "So you're attracted to her but can't express it?"
Mu Jingxing looked at her and nodded after a while.
"Are they married?"
"not yet."
"Then you need to express your feelings immediately. Whether she likes you or not is her business. If you don't, you will definitely regret it. After dinner, go find her and express your feelings."
After saying this, Song Yu picked up the spoon in the bowl and prepared to drink the pork rib soup.
"Miss Song, that girl is you. I...I like you."
After Mu Jingxing said this, he felt calmer inside. He stared at the girl opposite him without blinking, not wanting to miss the expression on her face.
Hearing this, Song Yu's heart nearly jumped out of his throat, "That girl is me!"
Mu Jingxing nodded firmly: "It's you! Do you find me...more pleasing to the eye?"
"This is for you, and this is for you." Song Yu took out two more of his signature dishes from the food box. "You're the first foreign man to eat my cooking. You'll be in for a treat from now on."
Mu Jingxing was flattered. Miss Song liked him, right?
Half an incense stick later, Mu Jingxing watched Song Yu's carriage disappear at the intersection for a long time without being able to come back to his senses.
Xiao Fei narrowed his eyes when he saw this. His eldest son finally didn't have to become a monk.
"Sir, it's time for us to go back to the yamen!"
Xiao Fei's loud voice brought Mu Jingxing back to his senses. He strode towards the carriage parked at the right entrance of the alley with a smile on his face.
When he saw Mu Chuqing sitting in the carriage, the smile on his face froze instantly.
"Brother, my cousin is over there."
Mu Jingxing was so frightened that he broke out in a sweat. He looked over quickly, but he couldn't see any trace of Xiao Chengqian.
"younger sister!"
"Shh! We're on the street here." Mu Chuqing pulled him into the car and whispered, "Tell me quickly, have you expressed your feelings to Sister Yu? What did she say? Does she want to marry you?"
