When the prince is reborn, he will only hit me if he doesn't hit the wall!

This seemed to be the second time the little girl had "threatened" him.

"Miss Xia, is this how you treat your 'benefactor'?"

Qin Xingyue suppressed his laughter and asked.

"Hmm? Benefactor?" Xia Xueyao was stunned and didn't understand what he was talking about.

When did he do him any favor?

"Miss Xia, who do you think caused the Hu family's marriage proposal to fail at the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet?"

When Xu Xinyue and Xia Xueyao heard what he said, they covered their half-open mouths in surprise and said in unison: "It's you!"

Qin Xingyue was very satisfied with their reactions.

"But why are you helping me? I don't know you well, and I..."

Only then did Xia Xueyao feel that her attitude just now was indeed a bit excessive.

She asked Qin Xingyue embarrassedly.

"Maybe, he can't bear to see a beautiful woman cry."

Qin Xingyue responded half seriously and half jokingly.

Perhaps it is because those involved are confused, while those who are not involved can see more clearly.

Xu Xinyue watched their questions and answers and felt that the atmosphere between them was very subtle.

However, she was not sure what Qin Xingyue's attitude towards Yaoyao was. After all, it seemed like this was only the second time they met.

It is unclear what she really thinks of Yaoyao.

Yaoyao has always had a simple mind and can deal with blatant villains like her stepmother.

But she couldn't resist the seduction and schemes of those with evil hearts.

Well, I'll just bite the bullet and be an eyesore for once. If it's really what she thinks...

I’ll remind Yaoyao next time we meet.

She thought secretly in her heart.

Suddenly, Xia Xueyao said to him in a hurry, "Yueyue, His Royal Highness Prince Xin said that he can talk to the boss to give us a 30% discount on the price of the jewelry today.

What does Yueyue like? How about the hairpin just now? "

Xu Xinyue had come with her and had no interest in these things, so she rejected Xia Xueyao's kindness.

Xia Xueyao took Xu Xinyue's arm and started to choose with great interest, asking her for advice from time to time.

Occasionally I would talk to Qin Xingyue.

After paying the bill at the shopkeeper's place, she played with her new jewelry with great satisfaction.

Qin Xingyue actually followed them all the time, as if he wanted to accompany them on the tour.

Xia Xueyao was still immersed in the joy of buying something she liked, and didn't notice anything wrong at all. She was still chatting and laughing with the man beside her.

Xu Xinyue just listened at the side and thought to herself: Is Yaoyao so familiar with him?

On this side, Xia Xueyao's trust and favorability towards Qin Xingyue have greatly increased since she learned that it was Qin Xingyue who helped her escape the Hu family's marriage proposal.

The two of them even had a pretty interesting conversation.

We talked about poetry, songs, calligraphy, chess, and painting.

We talked about Kyoto cuisine and the scenery outside the Great Wall.

Qin Xingyue loved traveling in his early years and described to her what he saw and heard, as well as the customs and cultures of various places.

This made Xia Xueyao, who had loved reading all kinds of travel notes and miscellaneous stories since childhood, very envious.

She deeply felt that Qin Xingyue was living the life of her dreams.

Enjoying the carefree and happy feeling that she could only experience in her dreams.

I became even more fascinated by the world that Qin Xingyue described.

Xu Xinyue looked at Xia Xueyao with a longing look and seemed to be hesitant to speak.

Qin Xingyue was fascinated by the naked, envious look of the little girl without any flirtatious tone.

I find Xia Xueyao more and more interesting.

So he suggested, "It's almost noon, why don't I invite you two to have dinner at the Delicacy Restaurant?"

Xia Xueyao still wanted to hear about his interesting travels, and forgot to ask Xu Xinyue for her opinion. Without thinking, she simply agreed, "Okay!"

Seeing this, Xu Xinyue was worried about Xia Xueyao being alone with him, so she had to agree to go.

The three of them arrived at the Zhenxiu Tower.

The Zhenxiu Building occupies a large area, with two floors, and the second floor is designed in the shape of a Chinese character “回”.

There are 36 private rooms in total, each with a catchy name.

The three of them entered a private room called "Yunjianyue".

However, they didn't know that at the door of "Plum in the Snow", a private room facing "Moon in the Clouds", Qin Yuechuan was looking at the three people with cold eyes.

His original intention today was to "bring" Zhu Yingnian here and persuade him to hand over the real account books of the Port Transportation Bureau.

He told Zhu Yingnian frankly that if he was willing to hand over the account books, he would save his life when the truth was revealed.

Zhu Yingnian was shaking like a sieve and said he wanted to think about it alone for a while.

Qin Yuechuan walked out of the private room and left him alone to think it over.

When he looked down at the diners, he immediately saw his second brother Qin Xingyue, who was going upstairs with two girls.

Among them, the girl in the light blue skirt was wearing a veil, but when Qin Yuechuan saw her eyes, he recognized who she was at a glance.

Not only him, but Qingyang beside him also recognized the man's identity.

His eyes kept moving back and forth between Qin Yuechuan and her.

Finally, he said, "Your Majesty, how about...I go and call Miss Xu...over?"

Qin Yuechuan snorted softly, his voice carrying a hint of gnashing teeth that he had not noticed:

"So, having lunch with 'Uncle Zhang'?"

"Well, it seems that it's not just Miss Xu. The one next to her seems to be Miss Xu's good friend... Miss Xia. How about I go..."

"No need. I will go and see for myself, my lord."

The voice was icy cold and Qingyang felt as if ice was covering his entire body.

Qin Xingyue and Xia Xueyao were still having a pleasant conversation here. Although it was their second meeting, they seemed like old friends meeting again.

There are always endless topics to talk about.

Xia Xueyao was so straightforward and frank, and the more she was honest with Qin Xing, the more Qin Xing admired the girl from the bottom of his heart.

Xu Xinyue, who was accompanying them all the way, watched the interaction between the two and unconsciously smiled with satisfaction like an old mother.

At this moment, a knock on the door brought their conversation to an abrupt end.

Xu Xinyue motioned for the two to continue and stood up to open the door.

I opened the door, but saw no one there.

Just as I stepped out of the door and looked around, I heard a cold voice coming from behind me: "Is this what you meant by having lunch with 'Uncle Zhang'?"

Xu Xinyue naturally recognized whose voice it was and quickly closed the door.

Pulling him aside, he whispered, "Your Majesty, I can explain."

"Well, I allow you to explain."

Qin Yuechuan narrowed his eyes slightly and looked down at the pair of clear eyes that were only revealed because of the veil covering her face.

Unconsciously, she softened her voice: "Why did you follow my brother here?"

Xu Xinyue carefully considered her wording, thinking about how to give a clean explanation that would not affect Xia Xueyao's reputation and would not make Qin Yuechuan think that she came here to curry favor with the Second Prince.

He briefly told him what happened between the three of them in Magnolia Pavilion.

When she heard that Qin Xingyue might be interested in Xia Xueyao and that she came to accompany him out of concern, the blocked emotion in Qin Yuechuan's heart seemed to be gradually channeled and smoothed out by a pair of magical hands.

His brows relaxed completely.
