The princess regretted it.

"Hehehe..."

Waves of laughter filled the entire Cheng Garden. Even before Wu Changfeng even set foot inside, he could already hear the laughter emanating from within. The corners of his mouth curled up slightly, a warm smile forming. His steps became lighter as he leisurely entered.

As soon as he stepped into the main hall, the sharp-eyed Nanny Chen noticed him and hurriedly said to Mrs. Fan, who was holding Liu Qianyi's hand and asking about her well-being, "Madam, the young master is here." Upon hearing this, Mrs. Fan looked up at the door and waved to Wu Changfeng with a smile on her face, "Changfeng, come, come, come and meet Qianyi."

At this moment, the graceful figure, sitting dignifiedly in a chair with her back to the door, slowly stood up at the sound, then turned around with her head half bowed to face Wu Changfeng as he entered, bowing gracefully: "How are you, cousin!" The voice was so charming and soft that it felt like feathers tickling Wu Changfeng's heart. Wu Changfeng hurriedly took two steps forward, cupped his hands in a gesture of support, and said gently: "My cousin, you are so polite."

Liu Qianyi raised her head slightly, shyly, her gaze radiating water as she gazed at Wu Changfeng. Wu Changfeng, staring intently at her, was momentarily transfixed, as if captivated. The woman before him had long since removed her gauze hat, revealing her delicate face. Her eyebrows resembled distant indigo mountains, her eyes like a pool of autumn water, her skin white as snow, her lips naturally crimson. Their eyes met, and for a moment, everything around them seemed to freeze, their gazes locked only in their own.

Nanny Chen and the other maids beside them couldn't help but laugh secretly when they saw this scene. Fan Shi also couldn't help but cover her mouth with her handkerchief and chuckled twice. Then, Fan Shi coughed lightly, like the sound of a clear bell, awakening the two people who were staring at each other in ecstasy. Liu Qianyi's face and ears suddenly turned red like a ripe apple. She lowered her head and took a step back. Wu Changfeng also blushed, blinking his eyes and bowing to Fan Shi: "Mother."

Mrs. Fan looked at Wu Changfeng with a teasing expression and said with a smile, "Please sit down." Wu Changfeng replied, "Yes, mother." Then he walked to a chair nearby and sat down. Mrs. Fan turned around again and said to Liu Qianyi, who was still standing a little embarrassedly, "Yier, sit down too."

Liu Qianyi bowed slightly and sat down gracefully. For a moment, the hall became quiet.

Looking at the two people sitting solemnly, Fan secretly laughed in her heart and was the first to speak to break the atmosphere: "Changfeng, Yi'er, you two haven't seen each other for two years. This time Yi'er is coming, Changfeng must accompany Yi'er well, and don't bully Yi'er."

"Don't worry, mother. I will take good care of my cousin." Wu Changfeng nodded slightly and said in a gentle voice.

Hearing this, Liu Qianyi bit her lower lip lightly, a shy blush spreading across her face. She said softly, "Aunt, my cousin has always taken good care of me, so don't worry."

Mrs. Fan looked at Liu Qianyi and nodded with a smile, jokingly saying, "Okay, okay! Auntie knows, I won't say any more!"

Upon hearing this, Liu Qianyi glanced at Wu Changfeng across from her, her eyes filled with a thousand emotions. She lowered her head even lower and said coquettishly, "Auntie."

Wu Changfeng's heart skipped a beat when he saw her, and his heartbeat involuntarily quickened. He coughed lightly to hide his abnormality and asked softly, "Cousin, how have you been these past two years?"

Liu Qianyi raised her eyes slightly, looked at Wu Changfeng, and said softly: "Thank you for your concern, cousin. Everything has been fine these past two years. Where is your cousin?"

Wu Changfeng's lips curled up slightly. "I'm fine too. Cousin, is there anywhere you'd like to go this time? I can go with you."

Liu Qianyi's eyes lit up. "Really? Does that mean I can ask my cousin to accompany me wherever I want to go?"

Wu Changfeng nodded with affection in his eyes, "Of course, you can come to see your cousin anytime."

Liu Qianyi's face was filled with shyness, and the corners of her mouth curled up. "Then it's settled. Cousin, you are not allowed to break your promise."

Wu Changfeng looked at Liu Qianyi's smile, and his heart softened. "Don't worry, I won't break my promise."

Watching the two chatting away as if no one was around, Mrs. Fan coughed twice, chuckled, and said, "Qianyi, don't worry. If Changfeng bullies you, come find your aunt and she'll take care of him for you."

Liu Qianyi shyly replied, "Thank you, Auntie!"

This enchanting look almost stunned Wu Changfeng again. He coughed lightly, trying to hide his abnormality, and then said to Fan: "Mother, my cousin has come all the way to the capital, and she must be very tired. I see that she looks tired. Why don't you let her go back and rest for a while, so that she can recover her energy."

Thinking that Liu Qianyi would be tired, Fan agreed, "Okay, Madam Chen, please accompany my cousin to her courtyard and see if there is anything missing so that we can arrange for someone to fill the gap."

Nanny Chen quickly replied, "Yes." Liu Qianyi also slowly stood up and bowed towards Fan and Wu Changfeng, her shyness fully revealed. Then, with lotus steps, she followed Nanny Chen out of Cheng Garden. Her figure was as graceful as a willow swaying in the wind, particularly moving.

Wu Changfeng couldn't help but stare at Liu Qianyi's graceful back in a trance. Seeing this, Fan said teasingly, "She's gone far away." Wu Changfeng retracted his gaze, touched his nose, picked up a piece of cake from the plate on the table, took a bite, and said nonchalantly, "This cake is good."

Mrs. Fan smiled and said, "Then eat more."

Wu Changfeng: "Uh..." He didn't really like sweet things, so he couldn't pretend anymore. He found an excuse, said goodbye to Fan, and left Chengyuan.

The breeze is gentle, which is pleasant for the trees.
