Chapter 380: Chapter 380 - 358, Goad_1

Seeing Daohua, Xiao Yeyang was happy inside, but his face feigned indifference, “I’m drinking and admiring the moon with Wenkai, what are you doing here?”

Hearing this, Daohua’s dissatisfaction rose, and she huffed, “This is my home, I’ll come if I want to.”

Aside, Yan Wenkai saw his sister and the Little Prince squabbling as soon as they met and felt he had to step in to mediate, “Alright, both of you calm down. It’s late at night; are we trying to let our families know that we’re sneaking drinks?”

At that remark, Daohua stopped talking and scanned the rooftop, asking, “Where are we going to drink? How do we get up on the roof? Uncle Qin Wu is supposed to patrol, won’t we be discovered?”

Yan Wenkai was taken aback, as he hadn’t considered these problems, and he slapped his forehead in frustration, “Look at my memory, how could I forget about Qin Wu?”

De Fu stepped forward at the right moment, “Fourth Master, this servant has spotted a place, not sure if it’s appropriate, but how about Fourth Master and this servant go and have a look?”

Yan Wenkai agreed without a second thought, “Let’s go, let’s have a look quickly.” With that, he pulled De Fu and left.

For a moment, only Daohua and Xiao Yeyang were left outside Chuihua Gate.

Watching Daohua crane her neck and look around, wanting to have fun but also afraid of being spotted, Xiao Yeyang smiled with pursed lips, “If you’re so worried, then why come here?”

Daohua’s expression froze, unable to directly say that she had come to ask why he suddenly started ignoring her, she casually responded, “My fourth brother loves to drink, I need to keep an eye on him, lest he drinks too much and gets punished by our parents.”

Xiao Yeyang laughed, “If you’re afraid of Wenkai drinking too much, just give him less wine, why bother coming all the way here?”

Feeling her excuse being seen through, Daohua got angry and glared fiercely at Xiao Yeyang, “Xiao Yeyang, are you determined to argue with me? I came here to drink and enjoy the moon on the rooftop, so what?”

Xiao Yeyang chuckled softly, his face and eyes filled with mirth, “How would I dare do anything to Miss Yan, naturally, everything should be according to Miss Yan’s commands.”

Daohua snorted, “I wouldn’t dare assume. You, the Little Prince, hold a noble status. When you’re happy, you pay attention to me; when you’re not, you just toss me aside without a glance. Obeying my commands? Such big words, don’t hurt your tongue talking nonsense.”

A flash in Xiao Yeyang’s eyes, seeing Daohua’s huffy demeanor, he knew she was referring to him intentionally keeping his distance during this visit to the Yan family. Just as he was about to say something, they heard voices from afar. He reached out and grabbed Daohua’s hand, pulling her into the shadows beneath a tree at the corner of the wall.

At the moment Xiao Yeyang reached out, Daohua thought to shake his hand off, but then she also heard the sounds, causing her alarm.

Though it was in her own home, being out late with Xiao Yeyang by her side, should her grandmother or parents find out, she would be punished for sure.

Moreover, this was ancient times; if the situation got out, it would definitely look scandalous.

Thus, she let Xiao Yeyang pull her into the corner of the wall.

Under the shadow of the tree, Daohua nervously watched Uncle Qin Wu approaching with several Protectors. To avoid detection, she instinctively moved closer to Xiao Yeyang, trying her best to hide behind the tree.

Without a word, Xiao Yeyang watched with a smile. As Daohua moved closer, he also leaned in a bit more, bringing himself closer to her.

When Daohua came out, she had just taken a bath, and the scent of her body wash still lingered on her.

Smelling the faint fragrance wafting off Daohua, Xiao Yeyang became somewhat distracted, his hand holding hers stroking it inadvertently. Then, recalling something, he stopped immediately, only staring at Daohua’s face under the dim moonlight.

Daohua, on the other hand, was watching Uncle Qin Wu get nearer with the Protectors, her heart in her throat, regretting having come out late. She was also somewhat resentful towards her fourth brother.

If her fourth brother were here, she could explain away being discovered.

Now, with just her and Xiao Yeyang alone, those unaware would think they were having a secret rendezvous.

Secret rendezvous…

At the thought of the word, Daohua’s heart jolted, and her attention finally shifted somewhat from Qin Wu. As she became more alert, she realized how close she was to Xiao Yeyang, almost resting in his embrace.

Her heart startled, her body involuntarily leaned back.

Fortunately, Xiao Yeyang was quick to react, pulling Daohua towards himself, preventing her from falling.
