Chapter 1365: I Don’t Know Many People as Old as You
"Yeah, I am. Aren’t I comforting you right now?" Ye Shushu waved her hand.
Yuan Yaying gave her a sidelong glance, then looked at Xia Yinian.
"Nian Nian, I was just kidding. I don’t want to be the Crown Princess Consort. I, Yuan Yaying, can stand on my own two feet. As long as I find someone who treats me well, that’s enough. He doesn’t need to be rich."
"Exactly, exactly, I don’t want to be the Crown Princess Consort either." Ye Shushu put on a fawning smile.
"How about I ask Tianyi to pick out one or two for you? I don’t really know many who are as old as you."
Yuan Yaying tilted her head and glanced at Ye Shushu, suddenly feeling an urge to hit someone.
"If you want to hit her, just do it. Don’t save face for me." Xia Yinian could only shake her head helplessly.
"What? Hit who?" Ye Shushu still didn’t seem to realize what the problem was.
"Who do you think?" Yuan Yaying raised her fist, her voice cold.
"What’s going on? Weren’t we talking about introducing a boyfriend to you? How come you’re not interested all of a sudden?" Ye Shushu opened her eyes wide, looking a bit innocent.
"I’m old, is that it?" Yuan Yaying flexed her clenched fist. "Hmm?"
"Uh... of course... not. I mean, we’re... You’re twenty-two, right? We’re only eighteen. We can’t introduce you to an eighteen-year-old, can we?"
"Spare me, mighty hero! No no no, beautiful lady, please spare my life, spare my life!"
"..."
Xia Yinian ignored the two beside her, grabbed her phone, and sent a message to Gu Beicheng.
She hadn’t expected that just after she sent it, a reply came back right away.
Looking at the man’s reply, Xia Yinian pressed her lips together and didn’t smile.
"Wifey, do you miss me? Stay at Jing Garden for now during this time, wait for me to come back. Bring your two friends with you, so you can look out for each other."
Letting Ye Shushu and Yuan Yaying go with her—was that really just so they could look out for each other? Xia Yinian wasn’t sure.
But she knew very well how petty her man could be. Was he worried she’d suffer some loss?
But that’s Jing Garden. She only got in with Jing Hanye’s permission. The servants there all said Jing Garden hardly ever has guests. If she suddenly brings two more people in, is that really okay?
"That’s not my place. Can I just bring friends over like it’s nothing?" Xia Yinian typed a text and sent it.
"If you say bring them, Jing Hanye won’t say no." That was Gu Beicheng’s reply.
"Alright then, I’ll try to talk to him." Xia Yinian blinked, then sent another message to Gu Beicheng. "By the way, what’s Jing Hanye’s phone number?"
Gu Beicheng sent over a number and even added a few reminders.
Thinking that he might not be that busy after all, Xia Yinian’s mood brightened a little.
She really hoped that one day, he wouldn’t have to be so busy, and could properly enjoy his own life.
Maybe she could share some of the load. If there’s work, they can both be busy together, then rest together, or go traveling together.
Letting out a soft breath, Xia Yinian dialed Jing Hanye’s number.
Luckily, the call connected very quickly.
"Young Master Jing, it’s Nian Nian. Umm... I’ve wrapped things up on my end. The competition’s scheduled for tomorrow morning and the afternoon the day after tomorrow."
"Come back. My people are waiting outside," Jing Hanye’s pleasant voice came through.
Come back... Is there really nothing wrong with that line?
That’s not even her home, yet the Crown Prince said it like he was telling her to come home.
It’s a good thing her heart already belongs to someone, so she wouldn’t overthink it.
But is the Crown Prince this friendly to everyone? You really can’t tell.
Back in the car, didn’t he still look all cold and distant?
