Chapter 478 (2/2)

“It’s true! I’m very capable!” cried Zhu Ye’er, frustrated. It was obvious he was unimpressed.

It was true, there were many people who wanted her hand because of her capabilities and wealth. She was a powerful businesswoman who brought a failing business back to life within 5 years, then even expanded it so quickly it could rival a kingdom’s wealth.

“Alright, you must be... Your admirers must be snotty little kids, yes?” he asked with a grin.

“...” Zhu Ye’er remained silent, she was humiliated! In the past, she would’ve raged at him but she didn’t this time.

Zhu Ye’er wondered why she was behaving so oddly today. Why did this boy from the fox tribe feel so comfortable? As if he was her own brother? Other than the thirteenth prince from the Ye family years ago, no one gave her the same feeling.

With this sense of comfort, she was reverting back to her inner child and saying things she couldn’t believe she said.

Ye Lang was in a dilemma now. He’d originally attended this festival to get to know a girl better. Now he had this little kid he couldn’t shake off.

And just like that, till the end of the Full Moon Festival, Ye Lang did not have any opportunity to talk to Li Yue. Zhu Ye’er dragged him along to light the lanterns, they even played carnival games…

Sigh, I guess I’ll just treat today as a day out with a little sister.

“Come, I’ll teach you something fun. These lanterns are getting very boring.” Ye Lang had already given up his plans and decided to keep her company.

“What is it?” she asked excitedly. She was now a full-fledged child.

When they saw Zhu Ye’er like this, many people secretly felt happy for her. Although the Zhu Ye’er they knew was capable, she lacked the sense of innocence because she’d never been able to have a proper childhood.

Ye Lang’s presence today brought her playfulness out again. As a child her age should.

“Find a lighter lantern. Yep, this one looks good. Remove all the useless attachments on top then glue the top shut. Then light it.” Ye Lang talked as he modified the lantern.

“??” Zhu Ye’er didn’t understand what he was doing. “Brother, this lantern’s bald. It’s ugly…”

“It doesn’t matter if it’s ugly. You wouldn’t be able to see it anyway. The most important thing is that it can fly…” Ye Lang said with a smile. He was making a Sky Lantern- also known as a Kongming Lantern.

“Fly? You’re saying the lantern can fly?” she asked in surprise.

“Yep, this is a Sky Lantern!” Ye Lang lighted the Sky Lantern he’d just made. When it accumulated enough hot air inside, the lantern slowly ascended into the skies right before everyone’s eyes.

“Woah! It’s flying! Brother, it really is flying!” she squealed excitedly.

“Hmmph, what’s so impressive about it? It’s just alchemy,” huffed someone on the side, thinking he’d used an alchemy technique.

“This isn’t anything impressive. It’s not alchemy, hot air rises. That’s the only principle,” explained Ye Lang mildly.

“You’re lying.”

Ye Lang could care less about the stranger’s opinion. He turned around. “Go big or go home. Let’s make all the lanterns fly, it’d be so pretty!”

“Alright! I’ve got heaps of them in stock and we never really knew what to do with them anyway…” said Zhu Ye’er, accidentally revealing the fact that she’d organised this festival because she had unsold stock.
