“Great, now I can design my house.” Jing Yue smiled with her eyes sparkling as she began to plan her future in a great mood.

“Your Highness, we’ve arrived at the mansion.” Xing Yi called from outside. Xiao Chen stepped out and Jing Yue followed. When Jing Yue went out of the carriage, she suddenly stared in surprise at someone who was standing on the side of the carriage.

“Isn’t this Jing Lang?”

Jing Yue blinked, confused.

“My father heard that Ninth Princess has passed the etiquette assessment, so he asked me to bring a congratulatory gift.” Jing Lang looked at Jing Yue and said.

“Master Jing is so courteous.” Xiao Chen nodded slightly, looking sideways at Jing Yue.

Jing Yue stared at the gift with some complication in her eyes, wondering whether she should accept it from Jing Lang.

However, her hands stretched out unconsciously and she didn’t even notice it until she held the gift on her hands.

“Please extend my greatest gratitude to him.” Jing Yue muttered with her head bowed, and turned away at once with the gift.

Xiao Chen peered at Jing Yue’s back as she left and then followed her after nodding slightly to Jing Lang. While Xiao Chen walked into the room, he saw Jing Yue excitedly opening the gift on the bed!

Looking at the excitement on her face, Xiao Chen felt somewhat speechless as he secretly thought to himself, “So she was merely pretending to be so reluctant to accept the gift?!” Then he sit on the chair next to Jing Yue, the corner of his mouth still twitching out of shock.

“What’s this?” Jing Yue opened the box and found a smaller case in it. She blinked with confusion and opened it. She raised her eyebrows while smelling subtle lotus scent.
