~7 min read 1,376 words

Jiang Liangjin lowered his eyes to look at the little girl beside him, softly humming, "I'm not troublesome, I'm easy to take care of."

Mu Youyu smiled and replied, "Don't worry, don't worry, as long as I have a bite to eat, you'll have a bowl to wash."

Jiang Liangjin stepped closer, sat beside her next to his grandfather, tilted his head slightly, lowered his voice with a hint of deliberate coquettishness: "Can I skip washing the dishes?"

Mu Youyu immediately raised her small face, her tone righteous and confident, with a hint of petulance: "Are you saying I should wash them?"

She had rarely entered the kitchen since childhood; let alone washing dishes, even fetching a cup of water was fought over by her brothers to do for her.

When has she ever done any housework?

The saying "ten fingers never touch spring water" describes a little princess like her.

As soon as she said that, everyone's gazes swept over.

Mu Xin pondered for a moment, then added lightly: "It's not your turn to wash the dishes yet."

Jiang Liangjin smiled indulgently, going along with her wish and coaxed: "I'll wash them then."

On the morning of the second day of the Lunar New Year, Mu Youyu was awakened by her alarm.

Yesterday she had just returned to the Mu Family residence; today is the day they set off to have fun in M Guo.

She even got up earlier than usual, much more eagerly.

After a quick wash-up, she changed into a pure white dress, layered with a fluffy white cotton coat over it, and stepped into a pair of delicate little leather boots.

As she went downstairs, the Mu Family's living room was already bustling.

Mu Xi, Mu Xin, Mu Xianqi, Song Lujing, Song Yusui, and Song Yan—several brothers—were all dressed neatly and waiting in the living room.

Obviously, they were going to depart together with her.

Upon seeing her sister's figure, everyone rose in unison, and words of concern followed one after another.

"Baby's awake? Come eat breakfast quickly, all your favorites."

"It's windy outside, wrap your scarf well, don't get cold."

"Youbao, everything's ready, the private plane is already at the airport, ready to depart anytime."

"The private villa in M Guo has also been cleared out; it's all yours, play however you like."

"……"

Mu Youyu responded obediently a few times, then sat down quietly to eat.

Jiang Liangjin sat beside her, attending to her throughout, and asked gently: "We'll reach M Guo this afternoon; is there anything else you'd like to eat? I'll have it loaded onto the plane."

Mu Youyu glanced at the table full of snacks and breakfast before her, shook her head, "No thanks, that's already plenty."

Taking advantage of a break in breakfast, she took out her phone and opened the class group chat.

【Class A's Most Awesome Group】

【Beautiful and Kind Class Monitor: @Everyone, Happy New Year everyone! The winter break homework is out; open the following file to view.】

【Xia Chaoyi: Who'll help me do a report for 100k?】

【Leng Yueyou: That's too little, not worth it, can't be bothered.】

【Yu Ci: +1, what's the homework?】

Mu Youyu looked at this bunch of lively rascals, couldn't help but crinkle her eyes, her fingers flying over the screen as she sent a cute glutinous rice emoji.

Not two seconds later, an identical emoji popped up in the group, its avatar unmistakably Jiang Liangjin's.

The whole class had long grown accustomed to it; this childhood‑sweetheart pair, inseparable since the start of school, even uses the same emoji packs.

【Beautiful and Kind Class Monitor: @Youyu, see you when school starts!! I miss you so much】

【Xia Chaoyi: Happy New Year, Older Sister Youyu!】

【Leng Yueyou: Happy New Year】

Mu Youyu pondered for a moment, then her fingertips swiftly typed a line and sent it.

【Youyu: See you when school starts, but we'll be separated by a floor next semester—we're moving up to senior year three.】

?

As soon as that was said, the whole class exploded.

【Xia Chaoyi: No way, Older Sister Youyu, that fast? Our class monitor can't bear to lose you.】

【Leng Yueyou: That's too fast.】

【Mo Song: Huh? Can we go together? I can't bear to lose you.】

Messages flooded the screen one after another, all shock and reluctance.

After all, Mu Youyu is beautiful, has a good personality, never puts on airs of a young lady, and is extremely popular in class.

Suddenly saying they'd skip to senior year three, everyone felt reluctant.

I don't know who curiously asked: 【Older Sister Youyu, how old are you now? Skipping grades is way too fast.】

Mu Youyu looked at the message and obediently typed a number and sent it.

15?

The group fell silent instantly.

Hasn't the outside world always said the Mu Family's eldest miss is 16?

At 15, she should be in freshman year of high school, but next semester she'll jump straight to senior year three.

You know, next door Mu Xi is also 15 but seems to be only in junior three, even having repeated a grade—by comparison, Older Sister Youyu is incredibly impressive!

Truly lives up to being the dragon‑and‑phoenix twins with Mu Xin.

After a long while, someone finally sent a trembling message: 【Did you skip grades to get here?】

【Youyu: Yeah.】

The group fell silent again.

Seeing that, Mu Youyu sent a few red packets to the group, labeled "Happy New Year," then put her phone away.

She stuffed her phone into the small bag Jiang Liangjin handed over, obediently letting him hold her hand as they walked toward the door.

At five o'clock in the afternoon, the plane landed punctually at M Guo's royal private airfield.

M Guo was in the midst of heavy snowfall; outside the airport everything was a blank white, with snowflakes fluttering down.

The security personnel and attendants already waiting at the airport rushed forward, holding up a huge transparent umbrella to shield Mu Youyu in the center, not letting a single snowflake touch her.

"Princess Mingxi, Young Master Ai Luoxiu, please come this way; Prince Qing An is waiting inside the hall."

The attendant spoke to her in her native language, which she was familiar with.

Mu Xianqi frowned, wondering, "Is he sleeping?"

The attendant hurriedly bowed and replied with a hint of helplessness: "Young Master Mu Xianqi, Prince Qing An has been waiting since dawn; he grew so drowsy he rested in the side hall, instructing that as soon as you and Princess Mingxi arrive, he should be woken immediately."

Mu Youyu's eyes lit up; she tapped her little leather boots and hopped forward two steps, snowflakes pattering on the edge of the transparent umbrella.

She turned to look at everyone and said, "Then let's go inside!"

Jiang Liangjin stepped forward half a pace and whispered, "Watch your step, the road is slippery; do you want to change clothes later?"

Mu Xi chimed in, full of concern: "Wearing a skirt will freeze you."

Mu Youyu spun lightly in place and asked, "Doesn't it look good?"

Jiang Liangjin quickly nodded, his tone indulgent: "It looks beautiful, the most beautiful in the world."

Mu Youyu lifted her face, smiling triumphantly: "If it looks good, I won't change!"

Seeing this, no one could bear to oppose her little willfulness any longer.

The brothers could only give up.

After a brief moment, they arrived at M Guo's royal exclusive side hall.

Pushing the door open, a wave of warmth greeted them, dispelling the chill all over.

On the sofa lay a curled figure, dark slightly wavy short hair falling on the pillow, a bit messy, with bangs covering the brows and eyes.

Usually imposing, the M Guo prince now slept utterly defenseless, his high nose bridge, lightly pursed lips, lacking some of the ferocity he showed to outsiders.

At his side sat an elegant woman whose features resembled Prince Qing An's by seventy percent, yet she exuded a more mature, dignified aura.

Without a word, she inspired involuntary awe.

The woman lifted her gaze to see the group entering through the door; they were mostly familiar faces.

She rose gracefully, the corner of her mouth lifting in a proper smile: "Long time no see."
