“Go, you just want to shake me off anyway. Now you have one less person to meddle with your business, right?” Ye Lanyu sarcastically blurted.

“Hah, about that… You're partially right!” Ye Lang chuckled as he replied.

“Hmmph!”

“You two...Ye Lang, just tell us your motives already.” The seventh princess promptly reminded Ye Lang that he had been beating around the bush thus far.

“Oh yeah, right, the reason I asked about cousin Zhiqing’s wedding is because I wanted to give her a new house as a present, by the Vast Moon Lake.” Ye Lang explained.

“So it’s for that, well then it’s nothing too surprising. But why do you have to ask if she’s married?” The seventh princess did not find Ye Lang’s intention of giving his cousin a house surprising, but was instead baffled by the way he phrased his question.

“If she’s marrying then it can act as a belated wedding gift! If she’s not, then I can prep it for the future,” Ye Lang replied.

“...All that just for this, you sure are…” The seventh princess was speechless.

“If you’re offering, it’ll be rude if I don’t accept. This is nice of you,” Ye Zhiqing replied. “Alright, I’m going back to my room for the night, you guys go on, alright!”

Ye Zhiqing upon finishing her sentence solemnly departed, her emotions somehow still as unexpressive as always.

“You little idiot, don’t bring up a woman’s marriage prospects like that…” Ye Lanyu grumbled as she knocked on his head.

“Why?”

“Cut it out, no means no!” Ye Lanyu and the seventh princess replied almost in unison as Zhen Xiaoyan awkwardly giggled by the side.

Subsequently, the rest of them spent the next few moments in the courtyard with Ye Lang, with dinner prepared by Zhen Xiaoyan’s mother. They then returned to their respective rooms, notably by Ye Lang’s declaration that he had more to deal with the next day, along with Zhen Xiaoyan and Little Zero.

Ye Lanyu and the seventh princess would usually give in to Ye Lang’s requests, and now that he made himself clear, they decided to call it a night, nevertheless both spending the night in Ye Lang’s own block.

This is what they said: if Zhen Xiaoyan and Little Zero, along with the young princess could have a sleepover here, why couldn’t they?

It sure wouldn’t matter, to Ye Lang at least. As long as they steered clear of his bedroom, he couldn’t care less where they chose to spend the night!

……

The next morning, Ye Lang woke up early but Zhen Xiaoyan and the mouth watering breakfast she prepared were ready before he was!

Zhen Xiaoyan’s breakfast had ample variety of savoury and sweet, a feast so grand that it could be both breakfast and lunch at once, for ten!

“No it’s not that...he’s just gonna eat a little…” Zhen Xiaoyan shyly answered, her head hung low.
