Yuan Chen looked at Ye Jinming's appearance and felt that he really deserved a beating, but he always had a good temper and endured it.
So he urged: "Okay, go back quickly."
Ye Jinming took the candied haws and headed towards the inn with Yuan Chen.
It just attracted a lot of onlookers along the way, most of whom had never seen such a good-looking man holding something that his children liked.
Ye Jinming felt a little strange when they looked at him, and Yuan Chen was even more distant from him.
He realized belatedly, chased after him and asked, "You didn't do it on purpose, right?"
Yuan Chen did it on purpose. He raised his eyebrows and said, "If you feel embarrassed, you can give it back to me."
Ye Jinming finally saw that this man did it on purpose.
He gritted his teeth and said, "You can't even think of lying to me."
He took it all the way, wouldn't giving it back to him at this time be playing into his evil plan?
So without caring about other people's opinions, I just took two bunches of candied haws and returned to the inn.
Xiao Jialan didn't feel bored even with Xin Ruyi as her company. The two of them hit it off immediately and talked happily.
While they were talking, Ye Jinming came back. He smiled and said, "Jialan, let's see what brother brought you."
He took out the candied haws and gave one bunch to Xin Ruyi and one bunch to Xiao Jialan.
Xiao Jialan reached out and took it, feeling surprised and happy, she said: "Thank you, brother."
Xin Ruyi was also a little surprised that she was still involved. She said: "Young Master Ye and Miss Ye, you brothers and sisters have such a good relationship."
Ye Jinming said: "I only have one sister like this, so of course I have to be nice to her to prevent her from being coaxed."
This was clearly meant for someone in the room.
Yuan Chen laughed and said, "Don't listen to his nonsense. I bought this candied haws with money, and he is only responsible for getting it back."
Ye Jinming turned around and glared at him. This man actually tried to undermine him. It was simply too much.
Xiao Jialan said: "Your Highness, did you buy this?"
Yuan Chen smiled and said, "I happened to see it and thought you girls might like it."
Xiao Jialan looked at the candied haws in front of her and couldn't help but think of what happened in her previous life.
On her first date with Yuan Chen, he bought her a bunch of candied haws.
Those were the lanterns that filled the city during the Lantern Festival. He held her hand and walked on the street.
The mask on his face concealed his identity and left them without any scruples.
"Jialan."
Ye Jinming's voice came and brought Xiao Jialan back to his senses. He asked: "Why don't you eat it? Although my eldest brother didn't buy this, he brought it back all the way. You can try it."
Xiao Jialan nodded and took a bite, then raised her eyebrows and smiled brightly: "It's delicious."
Ye Jinming smiled slightly. He really regarded this girl as his own sister and wanted to give her the best in the world.
Because Xiao Jialan was injured, Yuan Chen took this opportunity to arrange someone in Jiangnan.
After the arrangements were made, Xiao Jialan's injuries were almost healed, and the group of them set off on their way back to Beijing.
Xiao Jialan was sitting in the carriage. Thinking of the people and things she was about to face, she was inevitably a little nervous.
Xin Ruyi looked at her and asked, "What's wrong? But what's wrong with her?"
Xiao Jialan shook his head and said: "I'm just a little nervous. I've been living outside since I was a child. I don't know if I can adapt to life in the capital."
Xin Ruyi said: "You are protected by your elder brother and you are kind to His Royal Highness. What are you afraid of?
