The prince dotes on his wife: a reborn peasant woman is not easy to mess with

After all, Zhou Xiaoyuan still hopes that Xia Yechen can distinguish herself from the original owner. In addition, she probably also brought a little temptation.

She was thoughtful, then glanced at Xia Yechen who didn't answer, and asked, "What's wrong? You don't even want to call me by my nickname... Didn't you just say you wanted to start over?"

Hearing this, Xia Yechen was stunned and immediately denied it. He opened his mouth and said, "No, it's just... I don't think I've heard you talk about it before."

I must have never heard of it before, because she made it up now.

Thinking about this, Zhou Xiaoyuan couldn't help but cough lightly, and in a flash, she thought of a reason: "Well, because I don't like this name very much, so I always want to change it to another one later. This one was just recently... If you don't like it If so, how about replacing it with Yuanyuan?"

Her tone was inquiring, and Xia Yechen was even flattered for a moment. He looked clearly confused, as if he couldn't understand.

But he still gave a positive response to Zhou Xiaoyuan's softened attitude. He nodded vigorously and said, "That sounds great. Then I will call you Yuanyuan from now on, right?"

Zhou Xiaoyuan nodded with satisfaction, thinking that this was a teachable thing, but when she thought about other issues, she was a little entangled for a while.

But Xia Yechen didn't take it seriously.

Probably because Zhou Xiaoyuan was in a much better mood, he seemed to be more attentive and offered to pick up some food for Zhou Xiaoyuan. Zhou Xiaoyuan couldn't refuse. After taking a bite and looking at him again, she found that he looked happier.

So easy to coax? Zhou Xiaoyuan felt a little unspeakable in her heart, but she relaxed again.

Anyway, if Xia Yechen doesn't look for trouble, he should be very happy living in Prince Rong's Mansion.

After all, it is a luxurious home.

Zhou Xiaoyuan was thinking this, but she never thought that Xia Yechen was just overthinking and feeling more and more guilty towards her. He always thought about what was wrong with Zhou Xiaoyuan never saying her name when he was still alive.

He had been gone for so many years, but when they met again, Zhou Xiaoyuan didn't like her original name very much.

In the final analysis, it’s probably because of Zhao’s mother-in-law’s hard work...

The more he thought about it, the more guilty Xia Yechen felt, and he did not dare to ask any more questions, fearing that Zhou Xiaoyuan, who seemed to have thought about it, would be unhappy again. He remembered clearly that he came here to treat her well.

But even though Zhou Xiaoyuan was willing to cooperate, the gap between the two still existed. Xia Yechen said a few words and fell into awkward silence.

Zhou Xiaoyuan responded, originally wanting to pick a topic to lighten the atmosphere.

But unfortunately, she suddenly found that there was really nothing to talk about between the two of them.

After all, everything was settled, and there were too many mistakes. After struggling for a while, Zhou Xiaoyuan still said silently, "I heard that big families have a rule of eating and sleeping without talking, otherwise we'd better eat first."

As soon as he said this, Xia Yechen became more and more silent. The man nodded and closed his mouth together. Next to him, Nini was also unusually quiet.

As a result, Zhou Xiaoyuan felt as if she had shot herself in the foot by shutting up.

Xia Yechen's etiquette was very good, and there was no sound of clinking bowls and chopsticks, which showed that he had put in a lot of effort.

Originally, this was nothing, but he was so polite. Zhou Xiaoyuan realized that she had said this herself. It would be too embarrassing for her to not comply with it after she said it. Now she also acted cautiously.

Try not to make a sound.

But usually Zhou Xiaoyuan is used to being free at home and has never learned complete dining etiquette. Now when she is tense, she feels awkward everywhere.

After finally finishing the meal, Zhou Xiaoyuan was no longer in the mood to talk. She wished Xia Yechen could leave quickly.

But how could Xia Yechen be willing?

He worked hard for so long, and Zhou Xiaoyuan's attitude finally softened visibly. The man's first thought was naturally to strike while the iron was hot, so he had no intention of leaving even after eating.

Originally, this was quite normal. After all, Zhou Xiaoyuan had a close relationship with him, so it would be good for him to stay and talk.

But Zhou Xiaoyuan didn't want to talk now. No matter how willful or squeamish she was, she lowered her head and had no intention of speaking.

The atmosphere became awkward for a moment.

The servants nearby were clearing away the tableware. Little Nini blinked and watched their actions. After watching them for a while, she suddenly realized that her parents seemed unhappy.

The little girl immediately turned her head sensibly, tugged at the corner of Zhou Xiaoyuan's clothes, and asked obediently: "Mother, aren't you full?"

When she asked, Xia Yechen immediately seemed to find a reason to speak, and subconsciously said, "Then I'll ask them to bring more food."

After saying that, he was about to stand up, but was stopped by Zhou Xiaoyuan the next moment.

She sighed in her heart, thinking that this scene was strange, but it couldn't be too embarrassing, so Zhou Xiaoyuan shook her head and said politely: "No, I was just thinking about something..."

Xia Yechen was still very happy to hear this. He patiently sat down next to Zhou Xiaoyuan and asked.

"What's the matter? Can you tell me?"

Use two questions in a row

The caution in the man's tone almost overflowed, and Zhou Xiaoyuan couldn't bear it for a moment.

But after hesitating for a while, she still shook her head and said tactfully: "...I'm afraid you will be unhappy if I talk about this matter."

Xia Yechen remained gentle and encouraged Zhou Xiaoyuan to open up to him. What he said was very interesting. Unfortunately, when Zhou Xiaoyuan thought about what she just thought, she only felt funny for a moment.

She didn't answer, so Xia Yechen felt helpless and still looked at Zhou Xiaoyuan with some fondness.

If it were anyone else, he would probably be very shy at this time.

But if Zhou Xiaoyuan was here by herself, she just felt awkward. She hurriedly turned her head to focus on Nini, and asked intentionally: "You followed me all the way here. I forgot to ask you, do you want to live there?" Are you here?"

When Nini asked this question, Xia Yechen was a little stunned before Nini could say anything. He seemed to finally realize what Zhou Xiaoyuan said about "he will be angry if she told her".

His expression was a little subtle for a moment, and the little girl also looked over at this time, and the child looked at his father.

There was a clear reluctance and entanglement on her little face.

But Nini has always been a sensible person and knows how to repay kindness. She knows that her father has been away these years, and her mother is the best to her.

So the little girl only hesitated for a moment, and then quickly said: "Nini will follow mother, and Nini will be wherever mother is. If mother doesn't want to live here, Nini won't live here either!"

After saying that, Nini threw herself into Zhou Xiaoyuan's arms, rubbing her so hard that she couldn't help but feel warm in her heart.

But...Xia Yechen on the other side obviously didn't think so.

He feels that he is not

When it's time to speak, mother and daughter should be allowed to make their own decisions first, but when they think of the possible consequences...
