Chapter 575, Telling the Truth
How could you fall when I'm here?
Listening to the man's charming words, Daohua's mood suddenly improved. She glanced at Xiao Yeyang, dangling her feet in the air, and started swinging on the swing with a smile on her face.
When Xiao Yeyang saw this, he put the jar of wine in his hand on the ground, and then stood behind Daohua to help her push the swing.
Daohua looked back at him, thought for a moment and said, "I thought you would go and see Mrs. Guo and Mrs. Jiang first after you came back."
Xiao Yeyang said calmly, "Since they have moved into Ningmen Mansion, there will be plenty of time to meet them in the future. There's no need to rush."
Daohua rolled her eyes and said with a smile, "Then don't you want to meet your two beautiful cousins?"
Xiao Yeyang's expression paused. He held Daohua's arms with both hands and forced the swing to stop.
Daohua was startled, turned around to look at Xiao Yeyang, and said dissatisfiedly: "What are you doing?"
Xiao Yeyang bent down and moved closer to the rice flowers.
Looking at Xiao Yeyang's face so close to her, Daohua felt a little uncomfortable. She wanted to turn around, but Xiao Yeyang held her shoulders tightly, so she could only turn her head away and not look at him.
Seeing Daohua's embarrassment, Xiao Yeyang curled his lips and whispered in her ear, "Yan Yiyi, you always mentioned your cousin Wanying in front of me before, and now there is also a cousin Xueming. I want to ask you, are you jealous?"
As soon as these words came out, Daohua was like a cat whose tail was stepped on. Her fur stood up in an instant and stared at Xiao Yeyang with wide eyes: "What nonsense are you talking about? Who's jealous?"
Xiao Yeyang looked at the angry Daohua with a leisurely smile, without saying a word. His determined look made Daohua feel very angry.
Daohua was a little annoyed by being looked at, and she raised her foot to walk back: "You can enjoy yourself here slowly."
Seeing that Daohua was angry, Xiao Yeyang quickly reached out and grabbed her: "It was just a joke, why are you so angry?" As he said that, he pulled Daohua back to sit on the swing, and sat down next to her.
Daohua snorted, turned her head and ignored him.
Seeing this, Xiao Yeyang took a sip of the peach blossom wine, then passed it to Daohua: "It tastes really good, you should have one too."
Daohua glanced at Taohuajiu but didn't move.
Xiao Yeyang felt a little helpless. After thinking about it, he started talking about the Guo family.
"Because of my mother's divorce, the Guo family was more or less affected. Aside from my grandfather and uncle, most of the Guo family wasn't very close to me."
"After I moved into the palace, I had even fewer opportunities to see the Guo family."
"I remember meeting cousin Xueming a few times when I was a child, but now I have no impression of her at all."
Daohua turned around and said, "I've met Miss Guo. She's very beautiful, quiet and dignified. Unlike Jiang Wanying, who's so aloof, she's quite approachable."
Seeing that she finally spoke, Xiao Yeyang breathed a sigh of relief. The girl was shy, and why was he teasing her for no reason? He was really making herself uncomfortable.
Daohua saw that Xiao Yeyang didn't react and looked at him: "Why don't you react at all?"
Xiao Yeyang said "Oh".
Seeing his perfunctory response, Daohua was a little dissatisfied: "What does 'oh' mean?"
Xiao Yeyang said helplessly: "What I mean is that no matter how beautiful cousin Xueming is, it has nothing to do with me."
Daohua's expression brightened slightly, and he raised an eyebrow and said, "Don't be so confident. Don't you feel moved when you see a beautiful girl?"
Xiao Yeyang looked at Daohua steadily: "In your eyes, I, Xiao Yeyang, am just a lecher?"
Daohua was stunned for a moment and remained silent for a moment: "I didn't say that, it's just that everyone loves beauty. When you see a beautiful person, you want to possess it. It's also human nature."
Xiao Yeyang stretched out his hand to straighten the rice flowers, and asked her to look directly at him: "Can't I just take one scoop from the vast expanse of water?"
Daohua was silent for a moment: "You are still so young, and you don't meet that many girls."
Before she could finish, Xiao Yeyang hit Daohua on the forehead: "Don't talk to me in such an adult tone, it makes you act like an elder to me. You are a few years younger than me."
Daohua covered her forehead and glared at him: "You should stop hitting me on the head. What if you make me stupid?"
"I'll support you!"
Xiao Yeyang blurted out, and seeing Daohua staring at him blankly, he added, "Anyway, no matter what you become, I won't despise you."
Daohua didn't know how to respond for a moment, so she reached out and pushed away Xiao Yeyang's hand that was grabbing her shoulder, and sat up straight.
Xiao Yeyang looked at her and continued, "I don't have much contact with girls? I really don't know what's going on in your head. I grew up in the palace."
"The palace holds several banquets every year, and the daughters of officials and nobles come to the palace to attend. Were those ghosts I saw?"
Daohua couldn't help but say, "You were just a little kid back then, what do you know?"
Xiao Yeyang glared: "I don't understand?" Then he quickly glanced at Daohua, turned his head, and said slightly unnaturally, "I know much more than you."
Daohua moved her lips, but finally swallowed them back. She decided not to discuss relationship issues with him.
Xiao Yeyang continued, "Besides, there are so many beautiful women in this world. Do I have to take every one of them home? I'm not a brothel madam."
Daohua was speechless and kept silent with her lips pursed.
Xiao Yeyang glanced at her and took her hand: "Just put your heart back in your stomach."
After hearing this, Daohua was stunned for a moment, pulled her hand back, and played with the swing rope. After a while, she said, "I don't understand what you mean."
Xiao Yeyang looked at Daohua: "I won't do anything you don't like."
Daohua glanced at him and stood up: "You're probably drunk after just a few sips of peach blossom wine." She was about to leave.
Xiao Yeyang quickly pulled the man back: "I'm not drunk at all, sit for a while."
Daohua: "You've come such a long way, aren't you tired? Why don't you go back and rest early?"
Xiao Yeyang smiled and said, "I won't feel tired as long as you are by my side."
Daohua looked at the tiredness between his brows and said, "You're not tired, I am. I got up early this morning to make medicine soup for my third and fourth brothers, and then gave my third brother a few acupuncture treatments. I have to go back to sleep now."
"Acupuncture?"
Xiao Yeyang quickly stood up: "You gave Wentao acupuncture? Is he wearing clothes?"
Daohua frowned and said with an unhappy look: "What are you talking about? He is my third brother."
Xiao Yeyang: "Yes, he is your brother, but there are differences between men and women. Don't do this again in the future." Seeing Daohua's dissatisfaction, he continued, "If you are worried about Wentao, then leave it to me. I will find a doctor to give him acupuncture."
Daohua ignored him and walked straight ahead.
Xiao Yeyang picked up the glass lamp and quickly chased after him: "Walk slowly, don't fall."
When he caught up with Daohua and took her hand, he said, "You've already made medicinal baths for your third and fourth brothers, but why don't you care about me? I'm also very tired."
Daohua glanced at him sideways and said, "I just saw you this afternoon, okay?"
Xiao Yeyang: "Can you have someone send the prepared herbs to my house?"
Daohua snorted, "I wouldn't dare. There are two streets in front and behind your mansion, one inhabited by the Guo family, the other by the Jiang family. Do you think I'd dare send anyone there? If they knew we were in frequent contact, who knows what would happen."
Hearing this, Xiao Yeyang frowned and pondered for a moment. When he was about to reach the gate, he suddenly said, "After I go back, I'll buy a new house. Only you and I will know about it."
