”My father, actually…” Tang Xinyun began to speak, ”is out for a trip to the S Province…”

”The S Province?” Bai Yunfei quirked an eyebrow He had heard this province not too long ago, so the na there?”

”He…he's gone to…” Her voice was beginning to grow di Xinyun bent her head down to avoid Bai Yunfei's gaze

”He's gone to…cancel my betroth Xinyun was starting to look anxious now Fearful that Bai Yunfei would jump to an unwanted conclusion, she started to speak a little faster, ”I…when I was born, my father had me betrothed to the son of a friend in the S Province…our fa time, especially my father and their head of house Since their son was only a little older than I was, the two decided to connect the fae…it was never officialized and not talked about for years after But then their faifts all of a sudden and asked us to officialize the betroth to the S Province to annul the betroth more and more timid by the second, even as she tried her best to explain the situation to Bai Yunfei She still wasn't brave enough to look up and see what kind of expression Bai Yunfei had

”I' you about this earlier, Yunfei…I only heard about this betrothht up again I never thought about it, and I would never agree to it I'm…I'm afraid…that you'd misunderstand…so I never s…please? I'le word yet was ry So anxious was she over the situation that she started to tear up in the eyes like a child caught ht away Giving her a reassuring s tears under her eyes ”What's all this? Don't start crying now, Xinyun Aunty Xue would think I' you! Don't let auntie Zhao see you either, she'd definitely tear me apart if she sees you like this…”

This wasn't a reaction Tang Xinyun was ready for A little ry, Yunfei?” She asked gingerly

”Angry?” Came the response ”Why would I be?”

”I…because I never mentioned this before…?”

”What kind of betrothment is it if you never had any say in it? It doesn't count You said so yourself you wouldn't agree to it, so it's nothing significant in my eyes” Bai Yunfei replied, ”Who cares about that betrothment? I only know that you're e betroth to take you away frole at the way Bai Yunfei was talking now All of her worries were vanishi+ng see left behind on her face was a hint of blush when she realized what else Bai Yunfei had said ”What…what do you mean, 'yours'?”

”Aren't you? Well, you'll soon be, haha…” Chuckled Bai Yunfei ”Didn't you say so yourself? If your father is going to cancel the betroth to worry about And why else would he cancel it if not out of consideration for the two of us? I'll be asking your father for your hand in e when he comes back You'll be ' now to stare at Bai Yunfei ide-open eyes

”What? Do you not want to?” Bai Yunfei asked, his face betraying a flash of hurt

Like an apple, the red hue on Tang Xinyun's face was far more intense than before

”I…I didn't say that…”

”Haha!!”

Roaring with laughter, Bai Yunfei swept Tang Xinyun up into his ar Xinyun had only a brief ive a small yelp of surprise but her lips were met with Bai Yunfei's own…

……

Perhaps it was because no one wanted to disturb Bai Yunfei and Tang Xinyun, but no one ca while Even Xiao Bai and Xiao Qi were off playing elsewhere, leaving the two alone to enjoy a nice conversation with one another

Until a series of footsteps camiss!! Lady Xue is awake!!”

The loud Zhao Mancha ca into the courtyard shortly after her voice reeted with the sight of Tang Xinyun being held very close to Bai Yunfei's chest

”Ah!!”

Realizing the situation she was in, Tang Xinyun leapt away frohtened rabbit with a scarlet face

Bai Yunfei stood up in turn to give Zhao Mancha an embarrassed smile ”Auntie Zhao”
