Chapter 389, First Test
Daohua lay by the window, staring blankly at the distant river, and didn't even notice Wang Maner approaching.
Wang Maner saw that her daughter was distracted again, with helplessness and confusion on her face, she spoke carefully: "Girl, what happened to you these days?"
Daohua glanced at her and said nothing.
Wang Man'er thought for a moment and said, "Are you angry with the young prince? If I were to say, the young prince's behavior is sometimes a little out of line. If you don't like it, just talk to him nicely. Why avoid him? If you do this, you will hurt the friendship you have built over the years."
Daohua frowned: "I'm just still thinking about some problems. I don't want to see him now."
Wang Man'er asked puzzledly, "What are you thinking about, girl?"
As soon as he finished speaking, there was a knock on the door. Wang Man'er hurried out, but soon came back and looked at Daohua with a happy expression.
Rice Flower: “What’s wrong?”
Wang Man'er smiled and said, "Miss, the young prince is chasing us."
"What?!"
Daohua stood up suddenly, then leaned on the window, leaned half of her body out to look back, and sure enough, she saw a ship chasing them rapidly, and Xiao Yeyang was standing on the front deck.
Wang Maner was startled and quickly pulled the person back: "Miss, be careful, don't fall into the water."
Daohua sat back down and twisted her handkerchief in annoyance.
Outside, Qin Xiaoliu saw Xiao Yeyang chasing after him and had to slow down the boat.
Soon, the two ships approached.
"Dock the boat!"
Xiao Yeyang gave orders directly to Qin Xiaoliu.
Qin Xiaoliu looked around the cabin, feeling a little undecided.
Seeing that he didn't move, Defu immediately urged him, "Why are you still dawdling? Pull the boat to the shore quickly."
Looking at Xiao Yeyang's gloomy face, Qin Xiaoliu looked at the cabin again, and saw that Daohua and Wang Maner had not come out, so he had to bite the bullet and dock the boat.
As soon as the boat docked, Xiao Yeyang jumped from his own boat to the one where Daohua was, and then walked straight into the cabin.
In the cabin, looking at Xiao Yeyang who walked in angrily, Daohua's eyes were a little wandering. She turned her head to look out the window, not looking at him.
Xiao Yeyang looked straight at Daohua and said in a deep voice, "Get out!"
Wang Man'er was stunned for a moment before she realized that these words were directed at her. She didn't want to go out, but when she saw the young prince looking at her with eyes like swords, she immediately shrank her neck in fear.
"girl."
Daohua waved her hand: "You go out first."
Wang Man'er glanced at her daughter worriedly, feeling somewhat uneasy. When the young prince looked at her for the second time, she reluctantly walked out: "Girl, I'm at the door. If you need anything, just call me!"
Defu, who was standing at the door, became anxious and had to go into the room to pull Wang Maner out, then carefully close the door.
For a moment, Daohua and Xiao Yeyang were the only ones left in the room.
Daohua lowered her head and played with her handkerchief. She wanted to wait for Xiao Yeyang to speak first, but after waiting for a long time, she didn't see him say anything. She had to look up, and then she saw Xiao Yeyang looking at her with a frown.
"What are you doing?"
Xiao Yeyang took several deep breaths, but he still couldn't suppress the anger in his heart. He said angrily, "Should I be the one asking you, Yan Yiyi, what are you making a fuss about?"
Daohua turned her head to the side: "I'm not making a fuss."
Xiao Yeyang walked over, stood in front of Daohua, and asked, "You didn't make a fuss? Then why are you hiding from me?"
Daohua paused for a moment and said stubbornly, "I'm not hiding from you."
Xiao Yeyang laughed angrily: "You still say no, I went to your house four times, and you avoided me the first three times, but this time, you hid directly in Taohua Village. That's not enough, you knew I was coming and took a detour to leave. You still say you are not avoiding me?"
Daohua didn't know how to respond for a moment.
Xiao Yeyang reached out to straighten Daohua's body and looked at her straight in the eye: "What's wrong with you? You seemed a little strange on the Mid-Autumn Festival. If you have anything to say, you can tell me. No matter what, I will definitely get it done for you. Can you please stop ignoring me all the time?"
Daohua struggled to free herself from Xiao Yeyang's arms, stood up, and walked to the window. After a moment of silence, she suddenly turned to look at Xiao Yeyang: "Xiao Yeyang, let me ask you, it's only been more than half a month since Mid-Autumn Festival, why are you so anxious to see me?"
Upon hearing this, Xiao Yeyang was stunned.
Does this have anything to do with her ignoring him?
Seeing him like this, Daohua pursed her lips, knowing that he had not yet carefully thought about the deeper reasons behind his behavior. At most, he had a little more affection for her than for others, but it was impossible to say how deep their feelings were.
"Xiao Yeyang, wait until you have thought this through carefully before coming to see me. You can leave now."
Xiao Yeyang didn't expect Daohua to chase him away like this. He immediately glared, moved his lips, hesitated for a moment, and then said awkwardly, "I just want to see you."
Daohua looked at him: "Why?"
Xiao Yeyang was stunned: "I just want to see you, do I need a reason?"
Hearing this, Daohua was silent for a moment: "Xiao Yeyang, maybe it's because we used to get along well, and now I suddenly stop playing with you, so you're a little uncomfortable. Maybe after a while, you'll be fine."
Xiao Yeyang's brows knitted together. "What are you talking about? The problem now is that you're avoiding me and won't see me. You have to promise me that you won't do this again in the future."
Daohua was speechless: "What promise? You can't promise anything, and you still want me to promise you?"
Xiao Yeyang understood what he said and looked at Daohua seriously: "What do you want me to promise?"
Daohua was furious: "I'm not asking you to promise anything, but what you have to do. Forget it, I can't explain it clearly, just go if you want."
Xiao Yeyang fell silent and looked at Daohua. He felt as if he understood what she meant, but he had no specific concept and didn't know how to say it.
Outside the cabin, Defu and Wang Maner looked at the closed door with worry.
Defu: "There's no sound now, they must have made up."
Wang Maner: "It could also be that he's just silently sulking."
Defu looked at Wang Man'er speechlessly: "Miss Man'er, can't you just hope that our master will be better?"
Wang Man'er: "I think you should persuade the young prince not to mess with my daughter."
Defu was even more speechless: "I swear, the master has never been so accommodating and patient with anyone as he is with Miss Yan. To others, the master has always done his own thing, but only with Miss Yan will he be so humble."
"Miss Man'er, ask yourself, since we met, has there ever been a time when we had a conflict where it wasn't my master who bowed her head and apologized first?"
Wang Man'er thought about it and nodded: "The young prince's attitude of admitting his mistakes is quite good, but he is also very good at making people angry."
Annoying?
Who is angry with whom?
Defu really wanted to have a good argument with Wang Maner, but after thinking about it, he decided not to. This was Miss Yan's personal maid. If he offended her, what if she tried to flatter her master in front of Miss Yan?
Okay, I’ll bear with it!
In the room, Daohua sat in front of the window, leaning on the windowsill, silently looking at the scenery outside.
Xiao Yeyang stood aside, looking at her hesitantly. After a while, he mustered up the courage to walk over to her and sit down. He pushed her arm and asked, "Don't you want to see me?"
After saying that, his heart immediately began to lift up. He was a little afraid to look at Daohua, but was afraid of missing her response, so he could only look up at her from time to time.
As for Daohua, her expression suddenly froze when she heard Xiao Yeyang's question. She turned her head to look at Xiao Yeyang in a daze, but as soon as she met his gaze, she quickly looked away.
Does she want to see him?
There was a look of confusion on Daohua's face. When she heard that Xiao Yeyang was chasing after her, she was happy. So, she wanted to see him, right?
Seeing Daohua's dazed look, Xiao Yeyang's mood suddenly improved for some reason. He reached out and held her hand, saying softly, "Don't ignore me from now on. Got it?"
