Chapter 1965: The Emperor Isn't Anxious, but the Eunuch Is

Wei Yangyang stood for a while, only to find her mother still staring at her.

This left Wei Yangyang feeling uneasy.

She wondered, had she done something bad that her mother had discovered?

That didn't seem right either.

If her mother had truly discovered she had done something bad, she certainly wouldn't be so calm and composed.

Instead, she would have long since dragged her back to her room, closed the door, and taught her a lesson.

So, what exactly was the situation now?

Wei Yangyang truly couldn't make sense of it.

As for the person beside her...

He didn't feel troubled at all; he just lowered his head and focused on brushing the dog hair off his clothes.

Yi Xiang even said while brushing, "Is Jin Dou shedding its coat recently?"

Because of this topic, Wei Mama ended her focus on Wei Yangyang and replied, "Indeed, it's almost that season again."

"You could add some fish oil to Jin Dou's food; it can improve the shedding problem a bit."

"Alright, I'll try that for it later."

"Oh, right, Dr. Xu just left."

"I know about that; Dr. Xu called me. He is a good person and has helped our Wei Family quite a bit. If there is an opportunity in the future, we must repay him well."

Yi Xiang felt that what Wei Mama said made sense and nodded.

He had originally wanted to continue chatting with Wei Mama.

But the direct stare from his side made him look over first.

Then he saw Wei Yangyang with a look of astonishment on her face.

Yi Xiang curled his lips and asked, "Why do you look so silly?"

"You're the one who's silly!"

Wei Yangyang didn't let herself be at a disadvantage and retorted immediately.

But in truth...

Wei Yangyang had indeed been stunned just a moment ago.

She hadn't expected Yi Xiang to help resolve the issue in just a few words.

So, after changing the subject, would her mother still keep staring at her?

Wei Yangyang glanced in her mother's direction.

Phew, her mother wasn't staring over anymore.

This made Wei Yangyang breathe a sigh of relief.

However, the next second, she heard her mother ask, "The bracelet Yi Xiang is wearing, did you make it?"

The beads under the sunlight were shining with luster and looked very beautiful.

Being worn by someone, they looked even better.

Yi Xiang held it up and admired it with great pleasure.

Like a little child.

Wei Yangyang said nonchalantly, "Mm, just made it for fun."

"Alright, then continue playing."

After Wei Mama finished speaking, she turned and left.

As she walked, she also asked the servant to bring some drinks for the children.

Seeing the elder walk away, Yi Xiang plopped down onto the chair and continued brushing the dog hair off his body.

The golden dog hair was shaken off the surface of the fabric.

Some of it even drifted toward Wei Yangyang.

Wei Yangyang said helplessly, "Stay away from me."

"Why, are you disgusted by me or by Jin Dou?"

"I am... Achoo!"

Before Wei Yangyang could even finish her sentence, she sneezed.

Seeing this, Yi Xiang immediately stopped his movements.

But Wei Yangyang couldn't stop.

She sneezed two or three more times before she returned to calm.

Then, the voice she used to speak had changed: "You should just go back."

"Huh? You make me sneeze a few times and now you want to chase me away?"

"No, you've already been here for a while, it's time to go back."

"I haven't been here long. Besides, if I leave as soon as Auntie returns, it would seem like I don't want to see her; that would be too rude."

Yi Xiang was very serious when he explained.

As if he were very sensible.

But Wei Yangyang knew, what sensible, he was just making excuses!

Fine, if he wants to stay, let him stay.

Anyway, once she finished the bracelet, she was going back to her room for a nap.

Thinking this, Wei Yangyang began stringing the beads again.

Yi Xiang, for his part, really didn't mess around anymore.

He sat quietly beside Wei Yangyang, resting his cheek on his palm, watching her string the beads one by one.

The movement was mechanical and boring.

Yet Yi Xiang felt as if he could not watch enough.

Gradually, Yi Xiang's gaze shifted from Wei Yangyang's hands to her cheeks.

On her porcelain-white face was an expression of earnestness.

Her eyes were slightly lowered, concealing their shimmering light.

As for those red lips...

He felt a bit like kissing them.

Yi Xiang was left feeling restless by this sudden thought.

He felt he shouldn't let his mind wander.

At the very least, at this stage, he shouldn't.

To regain his composure, Yi Xiang prepared to find Jin Dou to burn off some energy.

But he didn't find Jin Dou, and instead saw...

Wei Mama, who was secretly observing from behind the window.

The moment their eyes met, Wei Mama seemed a bit embarrassed.

She made a show of closing the window and slipped away.

But before long, Yi Xiang caught sight of Wei Mama's face again from behind another window...

This time, it was Yi Xiang who was full of question marks.

He leaned closer to Wei Yangyang and asked in confusion, "Why is your mother always peeking at us today?"

Sigh, what else could it be for?

Naturally, she wanted to see if there were any sparks of romance between her and Yi Xiang.

And then struggle with who was more suitable for her, Yi Xiang or Li Xingyan.

Wei Yangyang guessed correctly.

At this moment, Wei Mama was indeed struggling.

In Wei Mama's view, both Li Xingyan and Yi Xiang were good children.

Li Xingyan was mature and steady, while Yi Xiang was lively.

Both of them were impeccable in appearance.

But if Wei Mama had to choose a son-in-law, she leaned more toward Li Xingyan.

After all, she knew his background and character.

She just didn't know which one her daughter favored.

And from Wei Mama's latest observations, she got along well with Yi Xiang and felt very relaxed.

In a while, she would ask...

Forget it, asking would be a waste of time!

It wasn't as if Wei Mama hadn't asked Wei Yangyang before.

But every time, she would be infuriated by this brat's attitude.

Wei Yangyang used her actual actions to demonstrate what it meant for the emperor to be unconcerned while the eunuch was anxious!

However... Wei Mama couldn't help but be a little anxious.

Such excellent young men—what if they were snatched away by someone else?

If she missed out on them, Wei Yangyang would probably cry later!

Wei Mama was very agitated.

After reaching a certain level of agitation, she even thought fiercely that she would stop caring!

But...

After Yi Xiang left, Wei Mama still went to Wei Yangyang's room.

Just as Wei Mama opened her mouth to speak, Wei Yangyang said first, "Yi Xiang and I are just friends, there is nothing ambiguous between us!"

Look, that same stubborn attitude again!

A flame of anger ignited in Wei Mama's heart.

She took a deep breath and then asked, "Are you and Li Xingyan also just friends?"

"Mm."

"Fine, then pick one friend and develop them into a boyfriend!"

"But Mom, let's pick later, I'm a bit tired. My eyes hurt from stringing the beads just now."

As Wei Yangyang said this, she put on a pitiful look.

And Wei Mama was most susceptible to that act.

She lost her temper immediately and could only sigh gloomily, "Be careful that you don't end up an old maid from all this picking and choosing."

"Don't worry, I will get myself married off before that happens."

"You, you're too naive; some fates, once missed, can never be found again."

Wei Mama still wanted to say something more.

But the way Wei Yangyang's eyelids were fighting each other made her sigh.

"Alright, go get some rest."

Wei Mama shook her head and left Wei Yangyang's room.

Jiang Baobao looked at the man in front of her, her heart feeling as if it had been pricked by a needle.
