Rebirth of the Duke's Daughter and the Little Imperial Uncle

"Sister Ying is quite slow, isn't she? The Fifth Prince has been waiting for her for a very long time," Qin Yaoyao said with a smile.

"Indeed, he waited for me for a long time," Cheng Ying said. She thought of the gentle man who had waited for her, and her heart was filled with guilt and gratitude.

He Mingxuan looked at Cheng Ying, a hint of curiosity flashing in her eyes: "Then how did you know about your feelings for Fifth Brother?"

Cheng Ying smiled slightly, recalling those moments that had once confused her. She said, "Actually, at first, I wasn't sure what this feeling was. Until one day, I saw Xiao Ran and Ming Feng talking on the street, and I felt very uncomfortable. At the time, I thought it was just a coincidence, but when I saw the two of you together again at the Third Prince's residence, that uncomfortable feeling became even stronger. At that moment, I finally realized that this is what it feels like to like someone."

He Mingxuan asked curiously, "So how did you two make up? Weren't you avoiding my brother the whole time?"

Cheng Ying sighed softly, recalling yesterday's events, and slowly said, "Well, your brother found me yesterday. I originally wanted to hide, but he didn't give me a chance to escape. He told me his thoughts, and I realized then that my avoidance had also made him unhappy, which made me feel very guilty. He also said that he would never bother me again, which made me feel incredibly heartbroken. Then I told him what was on my mind, the misunderstanding was cleared up, and we naturally made up."

He Mingxuan couldn't help but laugh after hearing this: "Oh, I see! Sister Ying is so cute. But now everything is alright, you and Fifth Brother are finally together. I hope you can be happy forever."

Cheng Ying nodded, a happy smile spreading across her face. "Yes, thank you, Mingxuan. We will cherish each other." Her eyes were filled with determination and tenderness, as if she could already see a bright future ahead.

Shen Xiaoran narrowed her eyes into slits, a smug smile spreading across her face, and said in a clear voice, "Hehe, shouldn't Sister Na Ying thank me? I guess I helped out, right?"

He Mingxuan rolled her eyes, her tone teasing and reproachful: "Come on, you almost ruined their relationship. And you're thanking me? If you ask me, we should thank Yao Yao. If it weren't for her always analyzing and guiding Ying-jie, Ying-jie probably still wouldn't have figured it out!"

Upon hearing this, Shen Xiaoran stuck out her tongue sheepishly, realizing she had almost ruined things, but unwilling to admit her mistake, she changed the subject, saying, "Well, anyway, they're together now, we should be happy!" She then winked playfully, trying to ease the awkward atmosphere.

Cheng Ying said, "Alright, I've finished telling my story. Who's next?" Her eyes swept over everyone, anticipating the next storyteller.

Qin Yaoyao's lips curled into a sly smile as she suggested, "I think we should start with Xuanxuan!" With that, Qin Yaoyao gracefully stood up and walked to Cheng Ying's side, then slowly sat down. Immediately afterward, Shen Xiaoran also rose from her seat and sat down on the other side of Cheng Ying. The two of them sat beside Cheng Ying, forming a kind of encirclement.

He Mingxuan looked at them blankly and asked in confusion, "Why are you sitting over there?"

In response to He Mingxuan's question, Shen Xiaoran chuckled and explained, "Of course I'll listen to what you have to say."

He Mingxuan was still a little confused and subconsciously asked, "What are you talking about?"

Qin Yaoyao blinked and replied with a smile, "Of course I'm talking about you and Zeyu."

Upon hearing this, He Mingxuan suddenly realized their intentions. A slight blush rose to her cheeks, and she secretly regretted not noticing their little scheme. Meanwhile, the three people opposite her wore expressions of curiosity and gossip, making He Mingxuan feel awkward.
