Come on, Jiaojiao, I'm sick too.

Xiao Juncheng!!

What the hell, the boss misunderstood!

But Wen Yuqing was happy when she heard what her boss said. Was the mental state of the ancients so advanced? Just say goodbye, and the next one will be better. Thinking of this, she felt much better.

"Boss, give me three lanterns." If he didn't want her, he would take them home to give to his grandmother.

Hearing that Wen Yuqing wanted three lanterns at once, the boss was delighted and quickly took out three of the most beautiful lanterns for her: "Girl, take these, these are the most beautiful lanterns in my shop."

"Thank you, boss." These lanterns are indeed beautiful.

She held three lanterns in one hand and gave the first one to Xiao Juncheng: "This is for you, a return gift. Although it is not as good as your jade pendant, it is a token of my love. If you don't like it, just throw it away."

Anyway, she will not return the jade pendant.

He lowered his eyes to the lantern in front of him and after hesitating for a while, he finally took it. He had already bought it, so he wouldn't throw it away.

"Thank you."

"You're welcome." Wen Yuqing raised her chin. It was quite rare that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince would say thank you.

"Okay, let's go back. It's not safe to be alone so late." Xiao Juncheng said. He had other important things to do.

Wen Yuqing rolled her eyes upon hearing this: "It's not safe for me to go back alone."

"......"

Did she still want him to take her back? He wasn't that free.

"My home is a bit remote, and I'm a weak woman walking back at night..." Wen Yuqing said while stealing a glance at the man in front of her, so please take me home.

The house was a bit out of the way. If he remembered correctly, the Prime Minister's Residence was right on Guanjia Avenue. He had used all his cleverness on him, right?!

"I'll send someone to take you there." He waved his hand, and then a shadow guard appeared in front of them. He was also wearing a mask, but the shadow guard's mask was black.

Wen Yuqing: “….”

Brother, it’s not good for you to reveal your identity like this, so why don’t you just stop pretending?

He comes and goes without a trace, who else could it be besides Shadow Guard? "You..."

"Miss Wen, I'll take you back." Ying Yi said indifferently, his voice as cold as an emotionless machine.

Wen Yuqing raised her eyes to look at Xiao Juncheng, so they were speaking frankly, right? She was a little surprised: "Too..."

Xiao Juncheng: "I have something else to do, you and Yingyi go."

After saying this, he turned and disappeared into the night.

Wen Yuqing closed her mouth as she watched the man leave with the lantern in his hand. She just felt something was wrong.

Yingyi stood beside Wen Yuqing, watching her look "lost" as his master left, and couldn't help but complain in his heart, don't be too sad, this is all normal behavior of his master.

Don't think that sending a lantern to a cold-blooded man will soften his heart!

Wen Yuqing glanced at the shadow guard beside her: "How about you just protect me in the dark... just take me to the river."

It would be strange to have a shadow guard following him around.

"Yes."

With two whoosh sounds, Ying Yi hid himself and Wen Yuqing walked towards the river again.

She clenched the jade pendant in her hand and then stuffed it into her sleeve. It was better not to let others see such an important thing.

It was this action that made Ying Yi, who was in the dark, see what she was holding in her hand and instantly gasp. Hiss, isn't that the jade pendant that his master always carries with him? And she just gave it away like that?

Hiss hiss hiss, not sure, let’s see!

But Wen Yuqing had already hidden the jade pendant. But after just one glance, Yingyi felt that he was definitely not mistaken, he was just too surprised!

Wen Yuqing walked all the way to the river, but did not see Wen Huai and Xiao Tao. They must have discovered that she was missing and went to look for her.

She stood on the bridge and watched the crowd releasing river lanterns on the river bank. Suddenly, she remembered that she had forgotten to buy river lanterns. But it was useless even if she bought them, as there was no one to accompany her to release them.

River lanterns can only come true when two like-minded people place their wishes together.

After staying for a while and setting off the river lanterns, the young couples who were out on dates went back to their homes. The number of people gradually dwindled, and Wen Yuqing finally heard the voices of Wen Huai and Xiao Tao calling her.

"Xiaotao, I'm here!" Wen Yuqing waved to the two people in the distance.

"Miss, Xiaotao was so scared. You disappeared in the blink of an eye." Xiaotao rushed up and said crying.

"Qing'er, where have you been?" Wen Huai also came forward with a worried look on his face.

"I'm fine, there were just too many people and we got separated. Let's go back." Wen Yuqing said indifferently. Fortunately, they got separated, otherwise she would not have met Xiao Juncheng.

"I'm glad you're okay, but I missed the fireworks show just now." He felt a little regretful for not being able to watch the fireworks with his sister.

Wen Yuqing didn't know what he was thinking. She thought they were so busy looking for her that they couldn't see the fireworks. She felt so sorry. She saw it and it was very beautiful. She watched it with Xiao Juncheng. Although she didn't know whether Xiao Juncheng saw it or not, they stood under the fireworks together and they were considered to have seen the same scenery together.

"Don't worry, brother. Find a sister-in-law to watch it with you next year."

Wen Huai was stunned when he heard this. He had no plans to get married yet. He was only nineteen, so where would he get a sister-in-law? However, Qing'er called him brother.

"I'll come out with you next year."

Wen Yuqing curled her lips when she heard that. Who would want to celebrate the Qiqiao Festival with a single guy like you next year? She will definitely get Xiao Juncheng next year!

"hehe..."

"Okay, the Qiqiao Festival activities are almost over, let's go back." Wen Huai said in a good mood.

The four of them went home. Wen Yuqing carried two lanterns, intending to give one to her grandmother and hang the other up for herself. When she got home, the old lady praised her for her thoughtfulness. It turned out that only granddaughters were thoughtful. Look at the eldest grandson, who came back empty-handed. Old Lady Wen glanced at Wen Huai with disdain.

Wen Huai: "..."

Well, I finally know why Qing'er is favored.

Mrs. Wen, who was sitting below the old lady, looked at the lantern in the old lady's hand with a little envy, and then looked at her silly eldest son, really!

Not as filial as a concubine's daughter!

I'm so angry!

That little cat Lantern is so cute, just like her little Orange, but considering her relationship with this girl, she can forget about it!

It’s all her son’s fault. He doesn’t know how to be filial to his mother at all!

Wen Yuqing noticed the envious and disappointed look in her stepmother's eyes, thought for a moment, and handed over the other lantern in her hand.

"Mother, I wonder if you..."

The eldest lady looked at the lantern in front of her and was delighted: "I like it, I like it. Qing'er is so thoughtful. Xiaohe, quickly get up from the kitchen and tell them to make a bowl of bird's nest and white fungus soup and send it to the young lady's room."

Wen Yuqing raised her eyebrows when she heard this. Is this stepmother so easy to bribe?

"Thank you, mother."

"No need to thank me. Tell mother or your elder brother if you like anything in the future." After receiving a lantern that she liked, she reluctantly looked at Wen Yuqing more favorably.

At least he's better than her wooden son.

Old Mrs. Wen looked at the heartwarming scene in front of her and nodded with satisfaction. It was so nice to have a harmonious family. As an old woman, she could also enjoy the happiness of family life.
