C13 (1/2)

Originally, she did not expect them to join her post either. After all, these two people were very dull, and they rarely came to such occasions in the past, so she only cared about her reputation. She could not just forget about them because they did not come, but who would have known that both of them would come at the same time, leaving Luo Ying at a loss for words.

At this time, Pu Jing had already been led in by someone. He was dressed in white and was as warm as jade. At this moment, Dong Ling Wan was facing away from him, and Pu Jing had obviously recognized the back of this person. The atmosphere in the garden was quite mysterious.

”Greetings to the young duke.”

”Second Miss Dong. I am here.”

At this moment, most of them were standing to the side, watching the show with the attitude of ”This matter has nothing to do with you, it's up to you”. However, when everyone was at a loss for words, the two of them simultaneously bowed to each other. They did not have the expected venomous hatred or coldness, but only smiled at each other as though they were meeting for the first time.

When no one expected Xiao Xun to appear, he always accompanied Xiao Qian and the other two to bow to the four Xiao family members. Xiao Qian stood in the middle and looked at Dong Ling Wan with interest. Dong Ling Wan was about to bow, but Xiao Qian's pleasant voice rang out, ”No need to hold back!”

Xiao Xun was fiddling with his fan as he replied, ”Why are both of you here? ”Young Master, it's been a long time since we've had a drink together. We'll find a place to stay another day and stay here until we're drunk.”

”As you wish, Crown Prince.”

Right now, she was standing here by herself and felt a little awkward. She wanted to talk to Song Jingyu about Song Jingyi, but unexpectedly, Xiao Qian walked over to her with a fan in his hand, ”I've heard that Second Miss is very good at reading words. I read the first poem yesterday and found it difficult to understand it, so I wanted to ask Second Miss for advice. Would Second Miss appreciate it?”

Since Xiao Qian had started to speak, he had attracted the attention of the people around him. Even if he was alone, he should have been able to tell that the situation had become more complicated and thus, he started to mutter to himself.

Dong Ling Wan looked at him, puzzled. Was he trying to see through her situation and helping her? Eastern Ling Wan didn't believe that he had such a good heart.

He nodded slightly and smiled, ”I should ask for Your Highness' guidance, Ling Wan.”

Xiao Qian extended his hand and gestured for Dong Ling Wan to follow him. The two of them came to a quiet place where there was no one around and they were connected to the outside so that people could see what they were doing.

This was a corner of the courtyard, surrounded by tall green trees and a chess set on the table. Xiao Qian sat down and signaled to Eastern Ling Wan with his eyes. Eastern Ling Wan had no choice but to sit with him. Xiao Qian put down a black piece of paper and didn't look at her. ”I don't know what kind of book does Second Miss study?

Dong Ling Wan took out a white piece from her chess container and placed it on the table. She was wondering what this person wanted to do. He was acting really weird today. The weather was a bit stuffy, so Dong Ling Wan started perspiring. She used a handkerchief to wipe off the sweat on her forehead and replied, ”I'm only reading some random books, so I can't enter the great hall.”

”If the 'Historical Records' were considered to be miscellaneous books, I'm afraid that there wouldn't be any proper books to read in this world.” Xiao Qian noticed her subtle movements. He stretched out his hand to slap her, and a gentle breeze blew out from the fan. Half of the wind from the fan blew towards Eastern Lingwan. She lowered her eyes, thinking that it was just a light breeze.

”Your Highness already knows, so why ask about it?” Dong Ling Wan lowered her eyes, poured a cup of tea for Xiao Qian, and calmly looked him in the eye.

Xiao Qian laughed dryly as he accepted the cup of tea, but didn't drink it. ”I originally thought that based on your character, you'd want to say something else.”

Dong Ling Wan didn't want to know what he meant by ”side by side”. She just sat there quietly, and Xiao Qian didn't say anything else.

”Seems like a couple.” Xiao Wu smiled and said to Patrol Leader Xiao who was beside him.

”A person?” Xiao Xun's eyes turned cold. He didn't even notice this change, ”Perhaps so! ”I have a friend. I'll be going first.”

Xiao Wen looked at Xiao Xun's back, then looked at Xiao Qian, and finally fixed his gaze on Eastern Ling Wan. With a playful smile, he asked, ”What kind of woman are you two so different?”
