“Then, should we thank her for letting us meet again?”

Princess Jin smiled without saying a word.

Xue Sifu smiled again. “Actually, we saw you when you came out of Jingyue to Changyu. At that time, we were sitting in the carriage, but you rode a horse and had a few people with you. You passed in an instant, so we didn’t call you.”

“I did bump into quite a few carriages on the road, but I didn’t pay much attention to them,” Princess Jin said with a smile.

“I saw you and Duan Huai when we were eating tofu pudding by the roadside today. That was why I went to the alley to stop you.”

“I see. Looks like I need to practice my vigilance.” She didn’t see them eating tofu pudding by the roadside.

“There’s no need. You were still far away at that time. Then, you turned around and left with Duan Huai. Previously, you were busy and focused on rushing to get things done here. There were so many carriages on the road, so you couldn’t pay attention to everyone.” As Xue Sifu spoke, he folded some wild grass and flowers from the side. Then, he began to work. He turned them into a flower ring and wanted to put it on Princess Jin’s head.

Princess Jin laughed as she avoided it. “This is too tacky. I don’t want it. I feel like a chicken coop.”

“When I get richer, I’ll give you a golden one.” Xue Sifu was laughing and trying to put it on her head.

“That’s even crazier,” said Princess Jin with a smile.

The two of them played around for a while before Princess Jin was willing to put it on. She even touched the flower ring on her head with both hands. “If my father sees this, he’ll definitely kill you. Look at what you’ve put on me.”

“I think you look good.” Xue Sifu laughed. “I saw my brother make this for his wife once, and she seemed pretty happy about it.”

Princess Jin’s face started to burn.

Noticing that she was avoiding his gaze, Xue Sifu deliberately moved closer. He insisted on staring into her eyes. He even deliberately smiled and asked, “Did you miss me?”

“Do you believe that I will slap you?” Princess Jin looked at him from the corner of her eyes.

Xue Sifu wasn’t afraid. He even poked the tip of her nose and smiled. “If this part is red, then it means that you did.”

The tips of Princess Jin’s ears instantly turned so red that blood could drip from them. They were also scalding hot. However, she had been raised as a man since she was young, so she wasn’t that bashful. Thus, she admitted it openly. “Alright, I’ve thought about it, alright?” She had been back from Xinyuan for a long time, and she had a good impression of him, so she did think of him once in a while.

Then, she couldn’t help but laugh. This man was really smooth…n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

“I missed you too.” Xue Sifu answered smoothly, his phoenix eyes already filled with smiles. “Isn’t there more to consider? We’re not in a hurry. After all, I have neither money nor power now. Money and power should be a must, or your father will not agree with us.”

Princess Jin also felt that it was a little too early to talk about marriage, but it was possible to think about it. Moreover, it was not a bad thing for him to be motivated to work harder, so she nodded.

After chatting for a while, Princess Jin said, “Since Duan Huai treats Doctor Shen so courteously, he must have something that Prince Yi can use against him. I have already told him that I will definitely return to Jingyue today. Although it is a little late now, if I don’t go back, he might feel that something is wrong. I should go back to Jingyue. Otherwise, he might start to get suspicious and weary of me.”

Now that she promised to go back, it was estimated that she would only reach Jingyue in the middle of the night. It was a little late. If there was nothing else, Xue Sifu wouldn’t stop her from going back. This matter had to be done with a lot of care.
