Protagonist:
Yan Qianqian
Qianqian nodded to indicate her agreement. However, everyone's hearts felt as if they had been scratched by a cat's paw, itchy and curious about this mysterious Young Master.
Just then, Yan Si suddenly spoke up teasingly: "Who knows what my little sister's taste is like? Can this person even beat me?" His words carried a hint of jest, drawing a burst of laughter from everyone.
Hearing this, Qianqian smiled shyly, then confidently replied: "I could beat ten of you!" Her answer was crisp and decisive, making everyone laugh heartily again.
"Oh, I'm not that weak!" Yan Si pouted, feigning grievance, but everyone knew he was just joking, and the atmosphere instantly became light and pleasant.
The meal ended amid everyone's laughter and chatter. Qianqian returned to the courtyard, but felt somewhat uneasy in her heart. She knew that tomorrow her mother would surely ask about the person she fancomed, after all, she had admitted it herself today.
Meanwhile, on Shangguan Xingyu's side, Yan Si took off his outer cotton robe while curiously asking Shangguan Xingyu: "Do you know who Qianqian fancies?"
Shangguan Xingyu nodded, and Yan Si immediately became excited. He moved close to Shangguan Xingyu, massaging her shoulders while urgently asking: "Who is it? Is it a Young Master from some family in Kyoto?"
Shangguan Xingyu comfortably enjoyed Yan Si's service. She slowly closed her eyes, and only opened them after a good while, then spoke slowly: "I promised Qianqian I would keep this secret and let her say it herself, so I can't tell you."
Hearing Shangguan Xingyu's words, Yan Si's face fell instantly. He pouted: "Oh, I won't tell anyone, just tell me quickly, I'm dying of curiosity!"
Looking at Yan Si's expression, Shangguan Xingyu couldn't help but find it a bit amusing, but she still asked seriously: "Are you sure you can really keep your mouth shut and not tell anyone?"
Yan Si nodded quickly and promised repeatedly: "Sure, sure, I promise. If I go around blabbing, I'm a dog!"
Seeing this, Shangguan Xingyu felt a bit troubled in her heart, but still mustered the courage to speak: "Since you've put it that way..."
Her words had barely fallen when Yan Si eagerly gazed at her with pleading eyes, as if waiting for her to continue.
Shangguan Xingyu bit her lip lightly, as if making a great decision, and finally spoke again: "Then I still can't tell you. I promised Qianqian to keep my mouth shut, and a person must keep their word. Just wait a bit longer; sooner or later you will know."
Hearing this, Yan Si was instantly furious. He stared wide-eyed, his face full of anger: "Fine, fine, you dare to tease me!" After speaking, he suddenly reached out to tickle the tender flesh at Shangguan Xingyu's waist.
Shangguan Xingyu was caught off guard by this sudden attack and couldn't help but laugh "hahaha," her body trembling nonstop with laughter. While laughing, she kept begging for mercy: "Oh, stop tickling, I'm going to die from itchiness!"
However, despite being tickled into such a sorry state by Yan Si, Shangguan Xingyu still didn't mention a word about what she had promised Qianqian.
Seeing her so determined, Yan Si knew that further questioning was useless, so he helplessly sighed and let her go.
After washing up, the two embraced and slept, passing the night without a word.
Early the next morning, sunlight streamed through the window into the room, illuminating a patch of peace.
Yan Jie got up very early. After hastily washing up, he went out. Bai Yu, being old, had nothing special to do and didn't like going out, so he stayed at home, lounging leisurely.
An Wang, after the morning court session, went to look at the house together with Shangguan Xingyan.
Meanwhile, An Wangfei, after eating breakfast early in the morning, hurriedly rushed to Qianji Yuan.
Inside Qianji Yuan, Qianqian was still sleeping soundly in the courtyard, completely unaware of An Wangfei's arrival.
An Wangfei stood outside the room door. Hearing Mantou say Qianqian was still sleeping, she couldn't help but feel somewhat helpless. She secretly pondered in her heart whether this child had recently encountered some troublesome matter, to the point of being unable to sleep at night from worry and getting up so late in the morning.
Carrying a heart full of worry, An Wangfei gently knocked on the room door, but there was not the slightest response from inside. She hesitated for a moment, but finally decided to push the door open and go in to take a look. Indeed, just as Mantou had said, Qianqian was lying on the bed, sleeping very sweetly.
An Wangfei walked to the bedside, looking at Qianqian sleeping with her head covered, and couldn't help but sigh in her heart: "Can this child be comfortable sleeping with her head covered?"
While thinking, she reached out her hand and carefully pulled the quilt down. The moment the quilt was lifted, Qianqian's slightly flushed little face was revealed, her small mouth slightly open, emitting light snoring sounds, sleeping soundly.
An Wangfei gazed at Qianqian's adorable sleeping face, her heart filled with affection. She really couldn't bear to wake this sleeping child, but thinking of her purpose for coming here, she still took a deep breath, gently patted Qianqian's shoulder, and said softly: "Qianqian, don't sleep anymore, wake up."
Qianqian seemed to hear someone calling her name. She slowly opened her eyes, looking at An Wangfei before her with sleepy eyes, and only came to her senses after a good while.,
Qianqian rubbed her eyes and asked: "What's wrong, Mother? Calling me so early."
An Wangfei looked at Qianqian still sleeping soundly and said softly: "Still early? Your father has finished the morning court session and has gone out again, yet you're still sleeping?"
Qianqian mumbled with sleepy eyes: "Mother, there's nothing much today, let me sleep a little longer."
An Wangfei helplessly shook her head and said with a smile: "How could there be nothing? There is something!"
Hearing this, Qianqian sat up with a start, her face full of doubt: "What is it? Mother, tell me!"
An Wangfei smiled mysteriously and said: "You get up first to wash and eat. I'll tell you later."
Although Qianqian was full of curiosity, she still obediently nodded and replied: "Alright."
An Wangfei turned to Mantou and instructed: "Serve Qianqian with washing up."
Mantou responded and left. Not long after, she brought a washbasin and placed it by the bedside.
While washing her face, Qianqian muttered something to Mantou. Mantou's expression turned serious upon hearing it.
After washing her face, Mantou picked up the washbasin and went out to pour the water. When she returned, she nodded slightly to Qianqian, and Qianqian immediately understood, her heart finally settling down.
All of this, An Wangfei sitting at the table did not notice, because An Wangfei had her back to them, and their voices were also low.
Afterwards, Mantou carefully served Qianqian with dressing and combing her hair. At the same time, Hua Hua brought over the breakfast.
