“This matter can’t be rushed. Father has yet to return. If Full Moon Pavilion were to return to my hands now, I might not be able to protect it,” Yu Yunxi said solemnly.

“Alright, Little Master. I’ve already waited for so many years anyway. Waiting a little longer won’t make much of a difference. I’ll listen to your instructions,” Manager Liu said excitedly with a nod.

When Yu Yunxi came out of Full Moon Pavilion, she saw Xiao Shici waiting for her by the carriage with Yu Junjin in his arms.

Xiao Shici’s appearance was outstanding, and his temperament was otherworldly. Many girls who were passing by could not help but look at him, but he seemed oblivious, smiling and talking to the little bun in his arms.

The girls wondered if they were father and son and concluded that he already had a family. In the end, they could only look away in disappointment, feeling heartbroken.

Meanwhile, when Xiao Shici saw Yu Yunxi, he asked, “Are you done?”

“Yes. You… Aren’t you going to ask me what that was about?” Yu Yunxi could not help but ask curiously.

“That’s your private matter. If you’re willing to tell me, you’ll tell me of your own accord sooner or later. If you’re not unwilling, won’t I be making things difficult for you if I ask?” Xiao Shici said calmly.

Yu Yunxi chuckled and said, “Your way of thinking really makes me feel inferior…

Luo Xiuran, who was standing a distance away, heard these words, and he stroked his chin as he muttered, “Putting everything else aside, this person’s character alone is quite charming.”

Qian Qing: .

“I’ll return to the residence with the Eldest Princess first,” Qian Qing said before she walked to the carriage.

“Can’t you accompany me for a while longer?” Luo Xiuran murmured with a sigh as he watched Qian Qing leave.

‘It doesn’t matter. The road to chasing my wife is long, but I can afford to wait…

With that, Luo Xiuran left to report today’s incident to Feng Yili.

‘That bast*rd Crown Prince of Xichu dares to covet Yunxi. He’s simply seeking death!’

In the carriage.

No matter how smart and extraordinary Yu Junjin was, he was still a child. He was so tired that he had fallen asleep in Xiao Shici’s arms.

Yu Yunxi’s expression was extremely gentle as she looked at the side of Yu Junjin’s face.

All of a sudden, Xiao Shici said, “He’s a very sensible child.”

“That’s right. However, he’s very sensible because he has suffered a lot with me over the years. He had to grow up very fast,” Yu Yunxi said with a bitter smile.

“Regardless, I’m sure he’s very happy just to be with his mother,” Xiao Shici said comfortingly.

Upon hearing this, Yu Yunxi knew that Xiao Shici must be thinking about his mother as well. She took a deep breath before she roughly explained the matter with the Full Moon Pavilion to him.

“As it turns out, Full Moon Pavilion is your family’s property,” Xiao Shici said as he raised an eyebrow.

“Mm.”

Yu Yunxi nodded.

“It seems like I made a mistake. I shouldn’t have paid for the meal earlier,” Xiao Shici said as he shook his head, looking regretful.

Yu Yunxi:

She had anticipated the ways Xiao Shici would react, but she did not expect his first reaction would be like that. She said, trying not to laugh, “I didn’t expect you to be so humorous.”

His behavior made it much easier for them to get along.

“In the past, I thought that my father and mother’s relationship was complicated. I didn’t expect the King of Zhenbei and Princess Changning’s relationship to be even more complicated, ” Xiao Shici said solemnly with a sigh.

Upon hearing this, Yu Yunxi sighed softly as well.

‘Indeed, it’s too complicated. Just because Mother is from the Xiao family, they suffered a lot…

At this moment, Xiao Shici suddenly covered Yu Junjin’s ears. Then, he slowly raised his head and asked solemnly, “Do you know why the Emperor Emeritus betrothed you to me?”

Yu Yunxi lowered her gaze as she replied softly, “Beixiao is a powerful country, and you’re the most beloved prince of Beixiao. In the future, you’ll inherit the throne. My maternal grandfather is thinking about my future…”

Yu Yunxi did not know her grandfather until recently, and yet, he had been planning for her and thinking about her. It was clear that he loved her mother a lot, and as such, he loved her too.

After listening to Yu Yunxi’s honest words, Xiao Shici did not feel offended at all that he was being ‘used’. However, his expression became even more solemn as he asked, “Have you forgotten that the surname of the imperial family of Beixiao is also Xiao?”

Upon hearing this, Yu Yunxi raised her head in shock. At the same time, emotions began to surge in her eyes.

‘That’s right. I keep thinking about the Xiao family, but I forgot that his surname is also Xiao…’

“It’s said that hundreds of years ago, Beixiao was deeply involved with the reclusive Xiao family. I don’t know the details of their entanglement. However, the only thing I can be sure of is that the Xiao family won’t harm the imperial family of Xichu…” Xiao Shici said.

“So, Grandfather wants me to marry you because you’ll be safe from the Xiao family, and I won’t have to suffer because of the Xiao family?” Yu Yunxi asked, feeling complicated. Her calm heart began to grow restless again. Her grandfather’s considerations and good intentions had exceeded her expectations.

“Yunxi, I stopped you from telling the Emperor Emeritus about our deal because of this matter. He’s done more than you know for you and your mother.”

Yu Yunxi’s heart sank even more when she heard these words.

Xiao Shici did not speak again after that, but Yu Yunxi’s heart was still in a mess. She only regained her senses when the carriage stopped at the entrance of the King of Zhenbei’s Residence.

Yu Yunxi sighed lightly as she carried Yu Junjin into her arms. Before getting

out of the carriage, she turned to look at Xiao Shici and said seriously, “I understand the meaning of your earlier words. However, I won’t give up on

Feng Yili. We promised each other to face whatever comes our way together. The Xiao family is indeed terrifying, but how would we know what the result is if we don’t try? Moreover, I believe in Feng Yili and his capability. Moreover, if I marry you, it’ll be unfair to you. Although I admire and respect you, I don’t love you. I believe you feel the same way. If two people who don’t love each other stay together, they’ll only hurt each other. I’ll think of a way to explain this matter to Grandfather before the month-long event ends. Finally, I want to thank you for telling me this.”

After saying that, Yu Yunxi carried Yu Junjin out of the carriage.

Xiao Shici sat in the carriage as Yu Yunxi’s words echoed in her ears. Her tone was resolute and serious. He could tell that she was determined to be with Feng Yili.

‘Their relationship is… really good.’

At this moment..

Seeing that there was no movement for a while, Xiao Shici’s subordinate called out worriedly, “Your Royal Highness, are you alright?”

Xiao Shici suppressed the gloominess in his heart and replied lightly, “I’m fine.

Let’s go back.”

“Yes.”

When Yu Junjin woke up in Yu Yunxi’s arms, he asked with a confused expression on his chubby face, “Mother, what happened?”

Yu Yunxi’s heart almost melted when she saw him in such a state. She said gently, “We’ve arrived at the King of Zhenbei’s Residence.”

The little bun woke up immediately when he heard this.. He struggled to get down as he asked, “Huh? Will it cause you trouble if I follow you?”
