Chapter 268 Long time no see
Yun Tingqing looked at her and was stunned for a moment.
Only when the woman approached did Yun Tingqing suddenly come to his senses.
It turned out that this beautiful woman was Princess Jianing who had not been seen for a long time!
"Long time no see." Princess Jianing was slightly stunned when she saw Yun Tingqing, but she quickly returned to normal and greeted him with a smile.
Then, she turned her gaze to Tiantian beside her and said gently, "Happy birthday, Tiantian! These are the birthday gifts that Sister Jianing specially prepared for you. Come and see if you like them?" As she spoke, she waved her hand gently, signaling the servants behind her to present the gifts.
Tiantian opened her eyes wide, staring intently at the box full of jewels, her eyes sparkling with excitement and joy, as bright as the stars in the night sky.
She said happily, "I like it, I like it. Tiantian likes it the most! As long as it is given by Sister Jianing, Tiantian likes it very much!" After saying that, she showed an innocent and bright smile like a flower.
After hearing this, Jianing couldn't help laughing out loud. She reached out and gently touched the sweet little head, saying softly, "Your little mouth is the sweetest!" Then, she turned around and walked into the princess's mansion gracefully.
At this moment, Murong Yunche quietly approached Tiantian, lowered his voice and whispered in her ear: "Tiantian, I will give you your birthday present separately later." After saying that, he smiled slightly, and followed Princess Jianing into the gate of the princess's mansion.
When Tiantian heard this, she couldn't help but feel a surge of anticipation. After all, every year, Murong Yunche's birthday gifts always surprised her immensely. So, she eagerly awaited that moment.
Not long after, the guests who were invited to the banquet arrived one after another. Finally, Yun Tingqing slowly took Tiantian's hand and returned to the bustling banquet hall.
However, as soon as he stepped into the banquet hall, Yun Tingqing's eyes were involuntarily attracted by the beautiful Jianing. His eyes followed Jianing's figure closely, and he was reluctant to look away for a moment, as if she was the only one left in the world.
Tiantian noticed her uncle's unusual behavior. She looked at Yun Tingqing curiously, then turned to look at her sister Jianing. Suddenly, an idea struck her: why not play matchmaker and bring these two together? Who knows, maybe they could even create a happy marriage...
She tightly grasped Yun Tingqing's sleeve and trotted all the way to where Princess Jianing was. Then, as if completely forgetting that her third uncle was there, she grabbed Murong Yunche without hesitation and turned to leave.
"Tiantian, where are we going?" Murong Yunche looked at the mysterious and sneaky Tiantian with suspicion, his heart full of curiosity.
"Shh—don't talk!" Tiantian put her index finger to her lips, made a silencing gesture, and said in a low voice, "Let's just watch Uncle San and Sister Jianing from here."
"Huh? Why are you looking at them?" Murong Yunche became increasingly confused and asked, blinking his big eyes.
"Oh, why are you so stupid!" Tiantian puffed up her cheeks in anger, raised her little hand and gently patted Murong Yunche's shoulder.
In fact, Tiantian originally wanted to pat him on the head, but in the past few years, Murong Yunche seemed to have been under a spell. He had taken some magic medicine and his height had suddenly grown. He suddenly became much taller than Tiantian.
Murong Yunche was incredibly clever, instantly understanding Tiantian's subtle thoughts. He smiled faintly, then considerately squatted down, bringing himself to be on the same level as Tiantian. He coaxed her softly, "Tiantian, dear, tell me what's going on."
Hearing Murong Yunche's gentle words, the anger on Tiantian's face instantly dissipated without a trace. She leaned close to Murong Yunche's ear and whispered, "Little brother, look at my Third Uncle and Sister Jianing. Do you think they like each other?"
Upon hearing this, Murong Yunche followed Tiantian's gaze and looked into the pavilion.
Yun Tingqing and Princess Jianing were sitting upright on a stone bench. Although they were not far apart, they always maintained a proper and polite distance.
Murong Yunche observed them carefully, but could not find any trace of love between the two.
"Tiantian, did you see it wrong?" Murong Yunche looked at Tiantian with a puzzled expression, his eyes full of disbelief.
"Hmph, little brother, don't you believe what I say?" Tiantian pouted, hands on hips, and glared at Murong Yunche angrily. She looked like an annoyed kitten, so adorable.
Murong Yunche's heart softened upon seeing this, and he quickly apologized with a smile, "Believe me, how could I not believe it? My Tiantian is the smartest!" As he spoke, he reached out and gently pinched Tiantian's cheek.
At that moment, the two sat face to face in the pavilion, so close they could feel each other's breath. Neither of them had imagined such an opportunity to be alone together. Ever since Princess Jianing's failed confession to Yun Tingqing, the two had acted like strangers whenever they met, avoiding each other whenever they saw each other from a distance.
Yun Tingqing was the first to break the silence and asked softly, "How have you been recently?" His eyes were as gentle as water, and when they fell on Princess Jianing, there seemed to be a hint of imperceptible concern.
Princess Jianing was slightly startled, then a blush appeared on her face. She lowered her head and replied softly, "I'm fine. How have you been recently?"
"Very good." Yun Tingqing smiled lightly and answered concisely. However, these three simple words made Princess Jianing's heart tremble suddenly.
Another long silence followed. A stifling awkwardness hung in the air, and Princess Jianing felt her heartbeat quicken, nearly leaping out of her throat.
Finally, she could no longer bear this oppressive feeling. She took a deep breath, mustered up the courage, and said to Yun Tingqing, "Tiantian told me that your mother asked you to take advantage of this banquet to look around. Do you have a girl you like?"
After saying this, Princess Jianing nervously clenched the silk handkerchief in her hand, her beautiful eyes fixed on Yun Tingqing, afraid of missing any subtle changes in his expression.
Yun Tingqing was slightly taken aback by Jianing's blunt question, a hint of surprise in his eyes. After recovering from his shock, he wanted to blurt out a denial that he had a crush on someone, but for some reason, as the words were about to leave his mouth, they seemed to be diverted by an invisible force, and he ended up saying, "I have a crush on a woman."
Jianing regretted asking that question; she hadn't expected such an answer. Yun Tingqing's response was like a hammer hitting her heart, instantly shattering her hopeful heart.
However, despite the extreme pain in her heart, Jianing still forced a smile and said, "Oh, that's good. I congratulate you in advance." But only she herself knew that when she said this, there was no joy in her heart at all.
At this moment, Yun Tingqing suddenly had the urge to tease Jianing. He stared into Jianing's eyes and slowly said, "Aren't you curious about which family that woman belongs to?"
Jianing's heart tightened upon hearing this. Her curiosity had already been piqued, and she was almost unable to contain it. But she knew that even if she knew the truth now, what would it matter? That person definitely wouldn't be her. So, she gritted her teeth and replied calmly, "I'm not curious."
Seeing this, Yun Tingqing raised the corners of his mouth slightly, and continued with a half-smile: "My mother has been urging me to find a good match as soon as possible and start a family as soon as possible. However, I just want to find a woman who truly makes my heart beat and I admire to marry her."
After saying this, he looked into the distance thoughtfully, as if he was lost in some beautiful reverie.
Jianing, who was standing aside, lowered her head silently, her eyes gradually turning red, and she tried hard not to let the tears fall.
Jianing listened quietly to every word Yun Tingqing said, but her heart was full of doubts.
She really couldn't understand why Yun Tingqing said all this to her after he had clearly rejected her before?
Especially when Jianing heard Yun Tingqing say, "But the girl I like, I am not worthy of her", she was even more surprised. She couldn't help but stare at Yun Tingqing's slightly sad face. She wanted to ask several times, but finally held back.
After hesitating for a moment, she finally couldn't help but whispered, "Your words really make me curious. Which woman could make you think this way?"
However, just as Yun Tingqing was about to answer, a cheerful and crisp voice suddenly came, abruptly interrupting the words he was about to say.
