Chapter 510 - Chapter 510: Chapter 472, Oblivious to Romance_2Chapter 510: Chapter 472, Oblivious to Romance_2
Downstairs, Chen Jiarou elegantly bowed to Xiao Yeyang, “Jiarou has seen the Little Prince.”
Xiao Yeyang’s brows knitted as he looked at the Chen Jiarou before him, his expression somewhat impatient, “Does Miss Chen have business with me?” If not, please disappear from my sight at once, you’re blocking my way!
Sensing that Xiao Yeyang’s tone was not very kind, the smile on Chen Jiarou’s face faltered momentarily before she composed herself, turned around, took a pair of fur gloves from her maid’s hands, and offered them to Xiao Yeyang with utmost sincerity,
“Jiarou was fortunate to escape danger thanks to the Little Prince’s intervention. I am unable to repay such a debt, so I specially made these gloves as a token of gratitude, and I hope the Little Prince won’t look down on them.”
Upstairs, Dong Yuanyao, hearing this, scoffed coldly, “The ones who actually saved her were Bodyguard Yan and Sun Changze. She has the nerve to ignore her real saviors and come to fawn over the Little Prince, such an ungrateful wretch!”
Daohua remained silent, only watching Xiao Yeyang; she was curious to see how this fellow would deal with the attentions of a beautiful woman.
Downstairs, Xiao Yeyang looked at the gloves presented to him, undisguised disdain in his eyes. Since when would he carelessly accept someone else’s handiwork? Besides, he detested the way this woman looked at him with those direct and insistent eyes, it was quite nauseating.
Thus, he replied with a cold expression, “The upbringing of the Chen Family is indeed an eye-opener. What, is it common practice for your family’s young ladies to give their needlework to any man outside the household?”
Hearing this, Chen Jiarou’s face instantly became bloodless.
Upstairs, Dong Yuanyao covered her mouth and chuckled softly, “The Little Prince is still as sharp-tongued as ever!” He was openly criticizing the Chen Family for having no home training, saying their daughter knew nothing of propriety or modesty.
Daohua’s eyebrows arched slightly, a glint in her eyes revealing that she was quite pleased with the situation.
Downstairs, faced with Xiao Yeyang’s frank and blunt words, Chen Jiarou wavered, her eyes misting over as she bit her lip and said, “Jiarou was presumptuous, I just wanted to…”
Xiao Yeyang couldn’t be bothered to listen to her nonsense, glanced at the food box in the eunuch’s hands; the box wasn’t even insulated, who knew if the food inside was cold now? This Miss Chen was really wasting his time.

“I didn’t save you, so there’s no need for gratitude. Since you realize you’ve acted rashly, from now on pay more attention to your conduct. Don’t bring shame upon your family. That’s enough, you may leave now.”
Daohua hadn’t had lunch, and after all the troubles of the past few days, she would be taking the boat back to Ningmen Prefecture soon, surely unable to have a proper meal. She needed to fill her stomach first.
Chen Jiarou had not expected Xiao Yeyang to be so utterly tactless. Clutching the gloves tightly, she turned to leave with the support of her maid, only to see Jiang Wanying approaching leisurely with her own maids from the opposite direction.
“Yang Brother!” called out Jiang Wanying.
Watching Jiang Wanying’s meaningful look and raised eyebrows directed at her, Chen Jiarou lowered her head in embarrassment and also slowed her steps.
Xiao Yeyang was about to go upstairs when he heard Jiang Wanying’s voice behind him, and his eyebrows immediately knotted into a frown.
Jiang Wanying approached Xiao Yeyang and asked with concern, “Yang Brother, when did you get back?”
Xiao Yeyang replied with some irritation, without answering, “Wanying, do you need something?”
Jiang Wanying had grown accustomed to his cold demeanor and didn’t mind at all, maintaining her smile as she said, “You’ve been working hard these past few days chasing criminals. I’ve personally made some chicken soup for you, Yang Brother, please have some.”
Hearing about chicken soup made Xiao Yeyang’s frown relax a little.
The food in the box was all bought externally and didn’t include chicken soup; it could be given to Daohua to bolster her strength.
“Let me see it!” he exclaimed.
Jiang Wanying’s face lit up with joy, and she immediately signaled her maid to bring the chicken soup forward.
Xiao Yeyang glanced at the chicken soup and then at Jiang Wanying, “Did you prepare this?”
Jiang Wanying smiled and nodded.
Xiao Yeyang immediately covered the chicken soup, “Then forget it. If you made it, it’s probably inedible, and I don’t want to upset my stomach.” Besides, Daohua doesn’t like Wanying either, so it’s best not to bother her with your things.
The smile on Jiang Wanying’s face suddenly stiffened.
When she said she had prepared it, all she had really done was give the order. Her maids had done everything else.
But she couldn’t say this out loud, so all she could do was purse her lips in frustration and remain silent.
Xiao Yeyang turned to Jiang Wanying, “You’re fragile, don’t wander around aimlessly. You’re going to take a boat back to Ningmen Prefecture later, so don’t get sick again. Go back and pack up, Yuanxuan is already preparing the carriage.”
Jiang Wanying looked longingly at Xiao Yeyang. Was Yange brother showing his disgust for her?
From a distance, Chen Jiarou saw that Jiang Wanying hadn’t fared any better in front of Xiao Yeyang and suddenly felt a bit better.
It wasn’t that she was inadequate, but that the Little Prince was unappreciative of romance!
Indeed, which scion behaves like the Little Prince? Always accompanied by men and eunuchs, probably because he has no elder around to teach him the ways of men and women, hence his indifference towards the fair sex.
After dismissing Jiang Wanying and signalling Defu to escort her out of the back yard, Xiao Yeyang went upstairs with the food box by himself.
By that time, Daohua and Dong Yuanyao had already moved away from the window.
As Xiao Yeyang entered the room, the two were sitting opposite each other drinking tea.
Upon seeing Dong Yuanyao, Xiao Yeyang immediately smiled, “Miss Dong, you’re here. Yuanxuan was just looking for you!”
Dong Yuanyao was taken aback, “What does my brother want with me?”
Xiao Yeyang set down the food box, “I’m not sure about that.”
Dong Yuanyao looked at Daohua.
Daohua quickly said, “You should go check it out. After I eat, I’ll come to find you.”
Dong Yuanyao, recalling what Xiao Yeyang had said about her brother preparing the carriage, nodded and stepped out of the room. But before leaving, she had to visit Sun Changze.
On her way down the stairs, Dong Yuanyao couldn’t help but look back at the second floor and muttered, “The Little Prince wouldn’t have deliberately sent me away, would he?”
In the room, Xiao Yeyang saw Daohua’s hair still down and immediately took the cloth from Wang Manman’s hand, “You go set up the meal; I’ll help your mistress dry her hair.”
Wang Manman glanced at Daohua but did not move.
Seeing Daohua’s reluctance, Xiao Yeyang felt compelled to explain, “I have a strong grip, and in this cold weather, you don’t want your hair to stay wet, do you?”
Only then did Daohua sit up straight.
