Nangong Waner was a little nervous as he walked around the entrance of the front yard. After walking for a while, he walked back and forth but still did not manage to enter the front yard. He did not even reach the doorstep of the front yard as he continued to walk in circles.
”Miss, what are you doing? If I don't go in, why am I always walking around in circles? ” Ju Xiang pulled Nangong Waner, trying to get him to quickly go in.
Nangong Waner didn't know why, but he was a little timid. Perhaps he was so timid that he didn't know how to face Chu Xiuhan's coldness, or maybe he was instinctively nervous while thinking of a big plan for New Year's Eve.
”Right, we're going to throw caution to the wind. The book says that we're not going to do anything, and we won't give up until we're done with it. Right, we're going to throw caution to the wind.” Nangong Waner encouraged herself, and as she finally regained some confidence, she straightened her back and puffed out her chest. Her jade-like hands clenched and tightened her sleeves, as though she was cheering herself on.
”Ah — —” Nangong Waner mustered up his courage and rushed towards the front hall with his eyes closed. He did not notice who he bumped into.
The impact hurt a bit, so Nangong Waner rubbed his forehead a little gloomily. After rubbing it, he looked up and said, ”Chu … Chu Xiuhan? ”
So he had bumped into Chu Xiuhan, and Chu Xiuhan had caught him in time.
Nangong Waner's depressed mood suddenly disappeared as he happily looked at Prince Zhan. However, he couldn't see any joy in Prince Zhan's eyes, it was still that familiar yet unfamiliar calmness.
”Be careful!” Prince Zhan lightly warned. After he finished speaking, he released Nangong Waner.
Nangong Waner's disappointed eyes immediately dimmed and her eyelids drooped down, her eyes seemed to be hiding some drops of water, it was a bit shiny, Nangong Waner was still a bit strong, while everyone was not paying attention, he wiped away his tears and smiled, as though nothing had happened, ”It's alright, female pursuer, the veil covering the veil, at least I can feel it.”
”Dad, where are you going?” Nangong Waner asked Lord Assistant Minister with a smile on his face.
”Prince Zhan said that she has never stayed in an ordinary family for New Year's Eve, and the New Year's Eve in the palace is getting tired of it. I have kept Prince Zhan here for a few years, and just as I was about to go eat the last meal of New Year's Eve, little girl, you actually took so long to pack up your things, and you seem to have pretty good taste of food. Let's go, let's go eat, and call your sister Nangong Ruyu over to the dining hall for dinner as well.” Lord Assistant Minister said as he looked at Nangong Waner.
Lord Assistant Minister had a very good understanding of Prince Zhan. Seeing that Prince Zhan was like a buddha sitting in the front hall and did not talk much, Lord Assistant Minister took this opportunity to ask, ”How about we eat at your place?”
Indeed, the Prince Zhan quickly answered, ”This king has never stayed in an ordinary home for New Year's Eve, so I'm quite interested.”
Prince Zhan didn't say anything, but today was New Year's Eve, and Prince Zhan had actually sat in Assistant Minister’s Residence for so long. ”Looks like the rumors that the empress dowager is very close to Prince Zhan aren't true. She won't even summon people to the palace for New Year's Eve.” Lord Assistant Minister could not help but silently curse, and actually felt pity for Prince Zhan.
”Eat more, Assistant Minister’s Residence is strong on the outside but weak on the inside. His food cannot compare to the King's Manor, Prince Zhan should not dislike him.” Lord Assistant Minister passionately picked up a bowl of food for Prince Zhan. Prince Zhan did not say anything, but he did not eat either.
Nangong Waner quietly ate his food. He did not have any appetite, maybe he had something on his mind.
”Prince, eat more.” Lord Assistant Minister was a little rough and did not realize that his chopsticks were still untouched. He continued to eat with some patience.
Nangong Waner had just been immersed in his own thoughts, so he didn't really notice how passionate the Lord Assistant Minister was towards the Prince Zhan.
Nangong Waner only thought about how he had eaten together with Chu Xiuhan in the past, and he couldn't even use his hands, and Chu Xiuhan would always very considerately make food for her. Under the current situation, she would look at her own bowl, it was empty.
