The Humble Family's Daughter Has A Spatial Pocket!-Chapter 635 - 574, Heartfelt Vocal Plea_1

"With me here, how could I possibly let you fall?"

Daohua's mood inexplicably lifted upon hearing such a boyfriend-power-packed statement. She gave Xiao Yeyang a sidelong glance, let her feet dangle in the air, and started to swing on the swing set, laughing to herself.

Seeing this, Xiao Yeyang set the wine jar he was holding onto the ground, then stood behind Daohua to help push the swing.

Daohua looked back at him and after a moment of thought, said, "I thought after you returned, you would first go and pay your respects to Madam Guo and Madam Jiang."

Xiao Yeyang replied with an indifferent tone, "Since they are now living in the Ningmen Prefecture, there will be plenty of opportunities to meet in the future. There's no rush for this moment."

Daohua's eyes rolled playfully, and she teased, "Don't you want to go see your two cousins, as beautiful as flowers and as fair as jade?"

Xiao Yeyang's expression paused, his hands firmly grasping Daohua's arms, forcing the swing to stop.

Startled, Daohua turned to look at Xiao Yeyang, discontented, "What are you doing?"

Xiao Yeyang leaned forward, closing the distance to Daohua.

As Daohua looked at Xiao Yeyang's face, which was so near yet seemed so far, she felt a bit uncomfortable. She intended to turn away, but with her shoulders firmly held by Xiao Yeyang, she had no choice but to turn her head away, avoiding his gaze.

Noticing Daohua's embarrassment, Xiao Yeyang's lips curved into a smile. He leaned in close to her ear and chuckled, "Yan Yiyi, you keep bringing up cousin Jiang Wanying in front of me, and now you've added cousin Xueming. I want to ask you, are you jealous?"

At those words, Daohua flared up like a cat whose tail had been stepped on, suddenly stood up, and with wide eyes stared at Xiao Yeyang: "What nonsense are you spouting? Who's jealous?"

Xiao Yeyang watched the puffed-up Daohua with a leisurely smile, not saying a word. His certainty made Daohua itch with irritation.

Feeling anxious and annoyed by his gaze, Daohua lifted her foot to walk away: "Go ahead and enjoy yourself here on your own."

Seeing that he had truly aggravated Daohua, Xiao Yeyang quickly reached out and pulled her back, "It was just a joke, why are you taking it so seriously?" As he spoke, he pulled Daohua back onto the swing and sat down beside her.

Daohua huffed and turned her head away, ignoring him.

Seeing her reaction, Xiao Yeyang took a sip of the Peach Blossom Wine, then offered it to Daohua: "It really tastes good, have a sip."

Daohua glanced sideways at the Peach Blossom Wine but didn't reach for it.

Xiao Yeyang felt a bit helpless, and after a moment's thought, began to talk about the affairs of the Guo family on his own.

"The divorce between my mother and the family affected the Guo family to some extent. Apart from my maternal grandfather and uncle, most of the Guo family... are not very close to me."

"After I moved into the Imperial Palace, I saw the Guo family even less."

"I remember seeing cousin Xueming a few times when I was a child, but now I don't have any recollection of her."

Daohua turned her head: "I've met Miss Guo; she's very beautiful and demure, not at all pompous like Jiang Wanying; she's quite approachable."

Relieved that she finally spoke, Xiao Yeyang felt a bit exasperated with himself for teasing a girl for no reason, truly asking for his own discomfort.

Seeing that Xiao Yeyang had no reaction, Daohua looked at him: "Why aren't you reacting at all?"

Xiao Yeyang simply 'oh'ed in response.

Seeing his nonchalant attitude, Daohua was somewhat unsatisfied: "'Oh'? What does that mean?"

Xiao Yeyang said helplessly, "It means that no matter how beautiful cousin Xueming is, it has nothing to do with me."

Daohua's expression cleared up a bit, and she raised an eyebrow: "Don't be so certain in your words. Are you saying that you won't be moved by a pretty girl?"

Xiao Yeyang gazed steadily at Daohua: "In your eyes, am I, Xiao Yeyang, nothing but a lecher?"

Daohua paused for a moment, then after a brief silence, said, "I didn't say that. It's only natural for anyone to love beauty. Seeing a beautiful person and wanting to possess them is a common sentiment."

Xiao Yeyang reached out his hand and turned Daohua to face him directly: "Can't I just take one ladle out of the three thousand weak waters?"

Daohua fell silent for a moment, "You're still so young now, and the girls you've come across are not that many..."

Before she could finish, Xiao Yeyang tapped Daohua's forehead, "Don't talk to me in that adult tone, making it seem like you're my elder. You're a few years younger than me."

Daohua, covering her forehead, glared at him, "You also shouldn't always knock on my head, what if you make me stupid?"

"I'll take care of you!"

Xiao Yeyang blurted out, and seeing the stunned look on Daohua's face, he added another sentence, "Anyway, no matter what you become, I won't despise you."

Daohua, for a moment not knowing how to respond, pushed away Xiao Yeyang's hand that was on her shoulder and sat up straight.

Xiao Yeyang looked at her and continued, "Few girls I've come across? I really don't know what you're thinking—I grew up in the Imperial Palace."

"Every year the Imperial Palace holds several banquets, and the daughters of officials and nobility all come to the palace to attend. Were those I met ghosts?"

Daohua couldn't help but say, "Back then you were just a little brat, what did you know?"

Xiao Yeyang glared, "I didn't know?" he said then quickly glanced at Daohua, turned his head, and said somewhat unnaturally, "I know much more than you."

Daohua moved her lips, but ultimately swallowed her words back down. She still shouldn't discuss matters of romantic feelings with him.

Xiao Yeyang continued, "Besides, there are plenty of beautiful women in this world. Am I supposed to take each one I meet home with me? I'm not a brothel madam."

Daohua was left speechless by his words, pressing her lips together and saying nothing.

Xiao Yeyang glanced at her, taking her hand, "Just sit back and relax."

At his words, Daohua was taken aback, then she withdrew her hand and fiddled with the swing ropes. It was a while before she said, "I don't understand the meaning of your words."

Xiao Yeyang looked at Daohua, "I won't do anything you don't like."

Daohua glanced at him, then stood up, "You've only had a few sips of Peach Blossom Wine, and you must be drunk already." She stepped forward to leave.

Xiao Yeyang hastily pulled her back, "Where am I drunk? Just sit for a while longer."

Daohua, "You've traveled such a long distance, aren't you tired? You should go back and rest early."

Xiao Yeyang smiled, "I'm not tired with you by my side."

Daohua looked at the fatigue between his brows, "You're not tired, but I am. I got up early this morning to prepare medicinal soup for your third and fourth brothers, and then I also gave your third brother a few acupuncture treatments. I need to go back to sleep."

"Acupuncture?"

Xiao Yeyang quickly stood up, "You gave Wentao acupuncture? Was he dressed?"

Daohua frowned, speaking unhappily, "What kind of question is that? He's my third brother."

Xiao Yeyang, "Yes, he's your brother but men and women should keep their distance, don't do that in the future." Seeing Daohua's displeased face, he continued, "If you're worried about Wentao, you can leave it to me. I'll find a doctor to go to him and do the acupuncture."

Daohua didn't pay him any attention and simply walked straight ahead.

Xiao Yeyang picked up the glazed lantern and quickly followed her, "Slow down, don't trip."

Once he caught up with Daohua and took her hand, he then said, "You've been making medicinal baths for your third and fourth brothers; how come you never take care of me? My body is very exhausted too."

Daohua gave him a sidelong glance, "I just saw you this afternoon, okay?"

Xiao Yeyang, "You could have someone deliver the prepared medicine to my residence."

Daohua snorted, "I wouldn't dare. Right now, on both the front and back streets of your residence, one is inhabited by the Guo Family, and the other by the Jiang Family. Do you think I dare send someone over? If they find out that our family has frequent dealings with you, who knows what might happen."

Hearing this, Xiao Yeyang frowned in thought. Just as they were about to reach the courtyard gate, he suddenly said, "After I go back, I'll buy a new estate that only you and I will know about."
