Chapter 165: Chapter 149, Nonsensical_2

Having said that, she pulled Madam Li out of the room without further explanation.

“You really!”

Once out of the room, Madam Li helplessly tapped her daughter’s head.

Daohua covered her head and said, “Mother, I’ve followed all the proper manners this time, I didn’t do anything wrong!”

Madam Li glared at her daughter with annoyance, yes, the manners were followed, but there was a clear sense of distance towards the Little Prince.

Thinking of the previous gossip about her daughter from various families, Madam Li sighed, well, it’s perhaps for the best for her daughter to keep a distance from the Little Prince, to avoid being talked about as if she is eager to ingratiate herself with him.

Inside the room.

After Daohua and Madam Li left, Xiao Yeyang’s expression slowly began to darken.

Yan Yile really wanted to liven up the atmosphere, but unfortunately, even with Yan Yihuan’s help, she couldn’t get Xiao Yeyang to speak again.

To one side, Dong Yuanxuan looked helpless.

The temperament of the eldest Yan sister… was just too strong!

It’s done for now, if the Little Prince leaves angry, this year might not go well.

Fortunately, their timing was quite opportune, and soon, it was lunchtime.

At the dining table, Daohua ate her meal properly, not laughing and chatting as she usually did.

Not only was Xiao Yeyang not used to her behavior, but even the Yan Family themselves were not used to it.

“Little Prince, please try this dish, it’s really delicious.”

Seeing Xiao Yeyang listlessly poking at the rice in his bowl, Yan Yile used the public chopsticks to directly add a helping of food to his plate.

At this, Xiao Yeyang instinctively knitted his brows.

While he did not have a germ phobia, he didn’t allow just anyone to serve him food.

Having suffered Daohua’s coldness twice in a row, Xiao Yeyang’s anger was burning fiercely, and just as he was about to vent it, he happened to catch Daohua’s expression, which seemed to be watching a show.

“This dish, I find it quite nice, you should try it too!”

Xiao Yeyang had a thought and smilingly returned the favor with a helping of food back to Yan Yile.

Everyone looked on with surprise.

Seeing Daohua’s eyes wide with astonishment, Xiao Yeyang sneered inwardly.

There were plenty who wanted to cozy up to him; one more wouldn’t make a difference, one less wouldn’t matter. He had already lowered himself to come here twice in person, and this girl still dared to show him disdain – did she really think he was without temper?

Looking at the food in her plate, Yan Yile grinned, “Thank you, Little Prince, mmm, it’s delicious! Little Prince, you should eat as well.”

“Alright, let’s eat together!”

Afterward, Xiao Yeyang continued to gladly serve Yan Yile several more helpings of food, delighting both Yan Zhigao and the Sun Family to the heavens.

Watching this scene, Daohua silently lowered her head to continue eating her rice.

Despite Xiao Yeyang usually carrying himself with the dignity of an adult, he was still a little brat at heart, incredibly childish.

After the meal, everyone sat in the old lady’s room to have tea and aid digestion.

Xiao Yeyang, seeing Daohua gone again, felt his impatience reaching a breaking point.

Dong Yuanxuan noticed Xiao Yeyang’s mood and decided it was best to leave, otherwise, this New Year might truly become unbearable.

“After a year of studying, it’s only during the New Year that we can get a long break to relax. Right now, I can hardly wait to lie down in my own bed and sleep for an entire day.” The implication was clear: let’s all hurry home.

Immediately, Dong Yuanxuan shot Yan Wenxiu a meaningful glance.

Before Yan Wenxiu could fully grasp Dong Yuanxuan’s intent, Yan Yile chuckled and said, “That’s because you, Big Brother Dong, study at Wangyue Academy.”

Thinking of the Little Prince’s friendliness and closeness to her at the dinner table, Yan Yile suddenly felt much bolder and her speech became less constrained and cautious.

“I’ve heard that the teachers at Wangyue Academy are particularly strict, which is why you all have it tougher.”

“It’s not like my second brother; he has it easy at the State School, longing for a teacher’s strict attention without a chance in sight!”

At this point, Yan Yile turned to Xiao Yeyang with eager anticipation, “Little Prince, if you managed to secure slots at Wangyue Academy for my eldest, third, and fourth brothers, could you also get one for my second brother?”

The room fell silent at her words.

Dong Yuanxuan, who was usually very conscious of his image and appearance, was taken aback and his mouth fell agape.

Where did this audacious person come from? She’s really got some nerve!

Who gave her that courage!

Xiao Yeyang, already irked by Daohua’s disregard, was at his limit. Hearing Yan Yile’s brazen request, his anger peaked, and he stood up abruptly, his cold gaze sweeping over the entire Yan family.

A bunch of greedy people!

With that, he turned on his heel and walked away with a stern face.

Seeing this, Yan Zhiyuan and the Sun Family stood up nervously, somewhat at a loss.

“Little Prince!”

Yan Zhigao’s complexion changed drastically, and he glared fiercely at the stunned Yan Yishuang. Turning his anger towards the somewhat pale-faced Yan Zhiyuan and the Sun Family, he hastily followed Xiao Yeyang out.

It was only after Xiao Yeyang exited the room that Dong Yuanxuan came to his senses. He looked sympathetically at the blushing Yan Wenxiu, patted his shoulder, and then shook his head and went after him.

Meanwhile, Daohua and Wang Manman each holding a pot of winter chrysanthemums, came out of Daohua Pavilion, intending to hand them to the gatekeeper to send to the flower shop. Just as they reached a fork, they saw Xiao Yeyang walking towards the outer courtyards with a dark expression.

“Who upset him?” Daohua asked in confusion. In the eyes of the Yan Family, he was like a giant panda, someone to be pleased rather than upset.

“Miss, look quick, the Master and the Eldest Master seem to be chasing the Little Prince,” Wang Manman pointed out, gesturing towards the following Yan Zhigao and Yan Wenxiu.

Seeing this, Daohua frowned and hurriedly set out, “Xiao Yeyang, are you leaving?”

Xiao Yeyang, disgusted by Yan Yile’s nonsensical behavior, snorted coldly upon hearing Daohua’s voice, ignoring her and continuing to walk briskly away.

“Hey, slow down, didn’t you say you wanted to eat roast venison?”

Knowing that something might have gone wrong, Daohua quickened her pace, clutching the pot as she followed.

Halfway along, Daohua tripped on her skirt on the steps, unable to steady herself, and fell to the ground, pot and all.

“Crash!” The sound of the pot hitting the ground echoed.

“Ouch~” Daohua’s cry of pain followed immediately.

“Miss!”

Wang Manman, seeing Daohua fall, was so frightened that she dropped the flower pot she was carrying onto the ground.

Up ahead, Xiao Yeyang, storming out in anger, stopped in his tracks and turned to see Daohua struggling on the ground.
