Because of a single remark from Xiao Yeyang, everyone stood up one after another.
Xiao Yeyang only glanced at Daohua before making his way straight out of the pavilion.
Daohua and Dong Yuanyao, hand in hand, hurriedly followed.
After them came Yan Wenkai and Su Hongxin.
Before leaving, Dong Yuanxuan and Zhou Chengye nodded at Feng Hao and the others.
Feng Hao stood still; without an invitation, it wouldnât be appropriate for them to follow.
Since he didnât move, Feng Liangji and the rest naturally didnât dare to move either.
Yan Wenxiu and the three brothers, talking about the things theyâd seen in Beijing, gradually moved toward the outside of the pavilion. Noticing Feng Liangji and the others standing still and taking a glance at Xiao Yeyang and the group ahead, he pondered for a moment, then smiled and said, âItâs rare to come out and enjoy the flowers, letâs all go together.â
At these words, Feng Liangjiâs face brightened with joy, âGood!â
He wasnât actually trying to cling to the Little Prince and other dignitaries; his uncle and Sun Yongyi were his guests, and now that they were out and about, it would be somewhat embarrassing and a loss of face if they werenât invited to enjoy the flowers as well.
Luckily, the eldest son of the Yan Family was quite amiable and considerate.
Afterwards, the entire group left the pavilion together, and Feng Hao took the opportunity to strike up a conversation with Yan Wenxiu.
As a direct descendant of the Feng Family from Jiguang, Feng Hao naturally had considerable knowledge and, being so young yet already an accomplished scholar, it wasnât long before he hit it off with Yan Wenxiu.
Li Chenyi lagged a step behind, pulled Feng Liangji to the rear, and asked in a low voice, âWhat did you do to upset my cousin?â
Feng Liangjiâs face became uncomfortable, and after hemming and hawing for a while, he finally clarified the situation.
Li Chenyi frowned and shot a glance at Sun Jiayue ahead, his expression turning a bit cold, âLiangji, weâve known each other since before, and now our families are even related by marriage. There are some things I wonât beat around the bush about.â
âThereâs nothing going on between you and Sun Jiayue, right?â
Upon hearing this, Feng Liangjiâs face drastically changed, âOf course not!â His voice became shrill with agitation, drawing the attention of Yan Wenxiu and the others in front of them.
Feng Liangjiâs face stiffened, and once the attention of the others had shifted away, he hurriedly explained, âI swear, thereâs absolutely nothing between me and Sun Jiayue. If I really had any intentions toward her, I would have had my mother approach her family for a marriage proposal long ago.â
Li Chenyi snorted coldly but said nothing.
Seeing him like that, Feng Liangji didnât know how else to explain, so he could only say, âI came out today to enjoy the flowers with my uncle, and thinking it would be too quiet with just the two of us, I invited Sun Yongyi to accompany us. How was I to know he would bring his sister along?â
Seeing that Li Chenyi remained silent, Feng Liangji had no choice but to say, âI promise, I will stay far away from Sun Jiayue in the future, okay?â
Li Chenyi was silent for a while, âLast time, a few days before your engagement was announced, you went to Joy Street. My father, mother, and my aunt and uncle were not happy when they found out.â
âThis time, just three days after the announcement, my cousin sees you and Sun Jiayue in such an improper manner. To be honest, it makes me uncomfortable.â
âEvery time you have an excuse, so let me ask you, once you are married to Zixuan, will you make her sad because of other excuses?ân/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
Feng Liangji assured repeatedly, âThere wonât be a next time.â
Li Chenyi looked at Feng Liangji intently, making him uncomfortable, before finally saying, âI hope your words match your actions.â
It wasnât until Li Chenyi walked towards Yan Wenxiu that Feng Liangji raised his head and wiped the sweat from his forehead.
He really should not have left the house today.
First, he was squeezed by the girl from the Yan Family, and just now he was threatened by his future brother-in-law. He was really having too hard a time.
Feng Yiyun looked worriedly at his elder brother, âBrother, are you alright?â
Feng Liangji was about to say he was fine when he saw Sun Jiayue walking towards him. Without a word, he quickly walked to Li Chenyi and his brothers, gesturing to his good friend Sun Yongyi with his eyes to take care of his sister.
He really couldnât take any more twists and turns!
â¦
âWhere are we going?â
Daohua followed Xiao Yeyang and Dong Yuanyao, and upon seeing they were getting farther and farther from the garden, couldnât help but ask.
Xiao Yeyang pointed upwards.
Looking up, Daohua saw the kites fluttering in the sky and asked, âAre you taking us to fly kites?â
Xiao Yeyang glanced at her and smiled, âYouâre quite the guesser.â
Daohua shrugged her shoulders, It was pretty obvious from your hint.
Upon hearing they were going to fly kites, Dong Yuanyao immediately became excited, took Daohua by the hand, and said, âLetâs have a competition later to see whose kite will fly farther and higher.â
