Chapter 1636 - 1636 The Pain She Was Expecting1636 The Pain She Was Expecting
Yaoyao was secretly overjoyed but pretended to hesitate as she said, “That won’t be a problem for me, but the decision would mainly lie on my Royal Brother.”
Long Yin darted a casual glance at her before turning back to Yuan Xin. “Aunt Xin, all of us understand your adoration for our mother. I don’t think there is any problem with Xinxin following us to Great Shang. As for my mother’s birthday presents, you shouldn’t trouble yourself over them, Aunt Xin. My mother isn’t one to mind such things.”
Hexin jumped when she heard him call her out by her pet name, but when she saw him acting normally, she calmed down—it seemed like he had just used her pet name in passing.
He must have used her pet name because he had heard her mother call her that.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtYuan Xin had a strong feeling to Long Yin was not an easy child to persuade.
Even though he did not say anything specific, he gave her the feeling that he had seen through everything when his eyes looked over at her.
However, there was no turning back now, especially when she had given her promise to His Majesty. She could only continue, “I know your mother doesn’t mind such matters so much, but this is a token of my sincerity. Yin’er, please stay for two more days. That would give me enough time to prepare her birthday gifts.”
It was difficult for Long Yin to reject her offer at this point. He was aware that Aunt Xin was most probably trying to delay their return due to Beitang You’s request—it was probably he who wanted to spend an extra two days with Yaoyao.
However, from Long Yin’s point of view, with him around, there was nothing much Beitang You could do even if they did stay two more days. So, he said, “Do forgive us, Aunt Xin. We’ve been away for too long and we can’t delay returning home any longer. How about this, I’ll stay one extra day for you, but we have to leave the day after tomorrow.”
Yuan Xin was secretly relieved when she heard that. One day was good enough. It was better than having no extra time at all.
One day’s time was probably enough for His Majesty to say everything he wanted to Yaoyao.
“If that’s your decision, it’s fine. I’ll return later and quickly put together my shopping list for tomorrow. I’ll get everything ready by tomorrow night at the latest,” Yuan Xin said with a frown, acting as if she was rushed for time.
Long Yin was not perturbed. “I hope this won’t be too hard on you.”
“Not at all.” Yuan Xin shook her head and got up. “Alright, it’s getting late. I shouldn’t keep any of you up any longer. Have an early night.”
“I’ll walk you out, Aunt Xin,” Long Yin said as he stood up.
Yaoyao followed as well and they saw Yuan Xin out.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmThe North Garden had a huge door with a very tall threshold. The lights at the door were a little dim. When Hexin walked out, she was preoccupied with thoughts of going to Great Shang and did not pay attention to where she was going.
As she lifted her leg and was about to cross the threshold, she tripped on it and fell outward.
She gave a scream and shut her eyes tight, thinking she was about to fall and bruise her face. Surprisingly, the pain she was expecting did not come.
“Be careful where you’re walking,” a young man’s deep voice was heard above her head. Hexin was stunned. She lifted her head only to see Long Yin had helped pull her back.
“Thank you, Big Bro Long Yin.” She realized what just happened and thanked him, her face flushing red.
It was lucky that the lights were dim as they helped hide her embarrassing expression.
“No worries,” Long Yin replied nonchalantly as he released her arm.
Yaoyao was standing by the door while chatting with Yuan Xin and she turned her head back just in time to see this happen. A thought ran through her mind.
After they saw Yuan Xin off and headed back inside, Yaoyao could not help teasing her older brother. “When did the cold-looking Crown Prince learn to be a hero who saves the beauty?”
The moment she said this, a crisp smack landed on her head.
