The Eldest Daughter Is Beautiful and Saucy
Chapter 271: Mr. Xiao
Chapter 271 Mr. Xiao
Bai Qingyan lowered her eyes as she walked with Dong Tingzhen. Intuitively… she thought that her cousin Dong Changyuan was not a person who was obsessed with love between men and women.
So when her mother hinted to her that Dong Changyuan was worried that she didn’t do well in the exam, she just thought that her mother still wanted to match her up with Dong Changyuan.
Now that I think about it, Dong Changyuan’s failure in the exam was probably because the Dong family had an unpleasant experience because of her, which affected him.
Dong Tingzhen really hoped that Dong Changyuan and Bai Qingyan could have a happy ending. Especially seeing Dong Changyuan change from a handsome young man to such a gloomy and thin man, Dong Tingzhen felt very uncomfortable.
“Cousin, do you see the red-painted pleasure boat parked at the Taoyin Lake Pier in front? If you are willing to see Brother Changyuan, please come with me on the pleasure boat. If you are not willing… it can be regarded as my best effort as your cousin to Brother Changyuan. My dear cousin… I am just afraid that you will be angry with me.” Dong Tingzhen shook Bai Qingyan’s arm uneasily.
“Brother Xiao!”
Dong Changsheng, who was walking in front with Bai Jinzhi and his two concubines, suddenly called out.
Bai Jinzhi also shouted proudly: “Mr. Xiao!”
At the pier where the pleasure boats were docked on Taoyin Lake, two rows of Xiao Rongyan’s guards with swords were on guard, and there were also unfamiliar-looking martial artists with swords in their arms standing guard everywhere, as if to keep strangers away.
Next to Xiao Rongyan stood a man who was as tall as Xiao Rongyan. Although his appearance could not be seen clearly, from a distance it seemed that his bearing was definitely not that of an ordinary man.
Walking in front of Xiao Rongyan and the man was an old man who was very old but had no beard, and a child who was no more than a teenager, whose words and actions were very elegant and dignified.
Bai Qingyan raised his eyes and looked forward, only to see that Bai Jinzhi, relying on his familiarity with Xiao Rongyan… had already run towards Xiao Rongyan’s direction. Dong Changsheng didn’t even raise his hand to hold her back, so he had to quickly catch up.
Before Bai Jinzhi could get close, he was stopped by a strange guard with murderous intent.
Xiao Rongyan smiled and said to the man beside him, “This is the fourth daughter of the Bai family in the Zhenguo Palace.”
When the man standing next to Xiao Rongyan heard that it was the fourth daughter of the Bai family, he smiled and spoke in a gentle voice, “Pingyi, let the fourth daughter of the Bai family come over.”
After receiving the order, the man who was full of murderous intent and had stopped Bai Jinzhi stepped aside.
Bai Jinzhi jumped onto the dock with great joy and was about to salute… but when he noticed the appearance of the man beside Xiao Rongyan, he was stunned.
Bai Jinzhi had never seen such a good-looking man in her life. She thought that the best-looking man she had ever seen was Xiao Rongyan. She never thought that there was such a beautiful and exquisite man in the world! She was a little uncertain… Should it be a man? He was wearing men’s clothes and his bones were also like a man’s.
Dong Changsheng was stunned for a moment when he saw the man’s appearance, and even had a vague guess in his heart about the identity of the man next to Xiao Rongyan. The man’s appearance was so stunning, and he was accompanied by an old man without a beard, and a teenage child. His identity was self-evident.
But why is Xiao Rongyan together with Emperor Yan?
Dong Changsheng was a man of tact. Since the Emperor of Yan was traveling in casual clothes, he must not want others to know. He went up to the platform with a smile, nodded to Murong Yu, and then pulled Bai Jinzhi to his side, smiling elegantly: “Brother Xiao, are you bringing your friends out to cruise the lake?”
As soon as Dong Changsheng finished speaking, Bai Jinzhi came back to his senses and pointed to the back to Xiao Rongyan: “Mr. Xiao, my elder sister is there…”
The moment Xiao Rongyan saw Bai Qingyan, his hands behind his back had slowly tightened. He didn’t expect that it would be such a coincidence today that he would actually run into Bai Qingyan.
The tender branches of the willow tree, which had just sprouted tender buds, swayed in the wind. Bai Qingyan, dressed in plain clothes, stood among them, her sleeves swaying in the wind, as if she were a fairy who was about to ascend to heaven at any time.
Murong Yu glanced at the cheerful Bai Jinzhi, and his eyes fell on his younger brother… Seeing that his younger brother was looking into the distance without any hesitation, he also looked over, and saw a girl in a plain dress standing under the willow tree, with an extraordinary temperament.
The two concubines of the Dong family did not dare to step forward upon seeing this, and turned their heads to look in the direction of Bai Qingyan.
Xiao Rongyan and his group stood against the light, so she couldn’t see their appearance clearly. It was not until she held Chuntao’s hand and stepped onto the ferry and walked in front of Xiao Rongyan and his group that Bai Qingyan could see clearly the stunningly handsome man beside Xiao Rongyan.
Perhaps it was because Xiao Rongyan’s aura was too strong and too dazzling, and several people only discovered that there was a peerlessly handsome man standing next to Xiao Rongyan when they got closer.
“Miss Bai!” Yue Shi hurriedly bowed as soon as he saw Bai Qingyan, his eyes full of admiration.
“Miss Bai…” Xiao Rongyan bowed solemnly, “What a coincidence, I didn’t expect Miss Bai to come here to enjoy the spring.”
Dong Changsheng, who was standing aside, frowned and his eyes fell on Xiao Rongyan and then on Bai Qingyan. He always felt that Xiao Rongyan’s emotion when talking to Bai Qingyan was unusual.
“Mr. Xiao.” Bai Qingyan bowed slightly and nodded to Emperor Yan. His eyes fell on the eleven-year-old boy with an extraordinary demeanor, and he also smiled and nodded.
Xiao Rongyan is really a man of great talent and courage! He dared to take the Emperor of Yan and the Prince of Great Yan to the lake so openly.
But it is also true that the more Xiao Rongyan does not shy away from interacting with the Emperor of Yan and the Prince of Great Yan, and the more he acts like a profit-seeking businessman, the less likely anyone will suspect that he has a relationship with the Emperor of Great Yan.
After all, if he was really the Ninth Prince of Dayan, he should have been hiding from the Emperor of Dayan at this time, so why would he get together and let others see him?
When Murong Li heard the words “Miss Bai” and looked at Yue Shi’s attitude, he knew that the person in front of him was the young commander Bai of the Bai family army, and he smiled at Bai Qingyan in a very friendly manner.
“Sister, since we have met Mr. Xiao by chance, why don’t we go boating on the lake together!” Bai Jinzhi smiled happily, trying very hard to bring Bai Qingyan and Xiao Rongyan together.
“Xiao Si… come here.” Bai Qingyan’s face darkened.
Since Xiao Rongyan was able to go boating on the lake with Emperor Yan, I think the two of them must have something important to talk about on the pleasure boat. What if Bai Jinzhi interfered and ruined it?
Bai Jinzhi saw her elder sister’s expression change, and felt uneasy. She hurried to Bai Qingyan and said, “Elder sister…”
“Sorry to bother you Mr. Xiao while he’s boating with his friends.” Bai Qingyan still had that warm and cool look on his face. He looked at Murong Yu and nodded slightly. “Bye.”
“Miss Bai, please stay…” Murong Yu said with a smile, “Since we are all here to cruise the lake, I wonder if Miss Bai would condescend to join us. Miss Bai Si has a very straightforward personality, which is rare. We are all dull people. With Miss Bai Si here… there will be more laughter and joy on the pleasure boat.”
Murong Yu’s eyes were gentle and clear, and his voice was warm, which made people feel very good about him, just like a gentle elder.
It’s almost the 22nd, and there will be a big update soon. Would you consider giving me some monthly votes to encourage me?
