Chapter 337 He kissed her cheek.
"squeak--"
The door slowly opened, and Xie Jingchun peeked inside, only to be stunned.
The entire room seemed to have been swept away by a gust of wind.
Xie Jue's little clothes were piled up all over the bed.
The wardrobe doors were open, and the shelves inside were empty.
Xie Jue was standing by the bed, tilting her head and frowning as she looked at the mountain of clothes in front of her.
His expression was very serious.
He was still clutching a light green robe in his hand, lost in thought.
"Third brother, what are you doing?"
Xie Jingchun stepped into the house and couldn't help but ask.
"Big Brother!" Xie Jue turned around at the sound of his voice, saw Xie Jingchun, and grinned at him.
"I'm picking out clothes for myself!"
Xie Jing crossed her arms and couldn't help but chuckle to herself as she looked at his serious expression.
"It's Xie Wanning's birthday today, why are you dressed up so formally?"
"Hmph!" Xie Jue said irritably.
"You don't understand at all! Dressing up is very important! That's what your mother said!"
Xie Jingchun couldn't help but reach out and rub his head.
"Now you know to listen to your mother?"
I never expected that my third brother, who is so young, would be so concerned about his appearance. It's really surprising.
Xie Jue turned her head away, ignoring him.
He bent down and rummaged through the small mountain of clothes.
Suddenly, a fluffy little head popped out from inside!
"Big brother! How about this one?"
Xie Jue picked up a pale yellow robe and showed it to Xie Jingchun.
Just as Xie Jingchun was about to answer, a servant rushed in and whispered, "Young Master Chun, there's a man named Chu Yi at the door looking for you."
Upon hearing this, Xie Jingchun immediately smiled.
At the gate of the Marquis' Mansion.
From afar, Xie Jingchun could see the boy's thin figure.
Chu Yi stood with his arms crossed, leaning against a stone pillar, gazing at the street scene outside the mansion. He seemed to have just arrived.
"Chu Yi!" Xie Jingchun called out.
Hearing the shout, Chu Yi turned around and asked, "Am I late?"
"How could it be? It's not too late."
Xie Jingchun patted his shoulder, "Come on, I'll take you to the front yard. The Marquis's mansion is very lively today, and there are many delicious foods in the front yard."
Chu Yi nodded slightly, a dark glint flashing in his eyes.
The two walked along the stone-paved corridor, and Chu Yi suddenly asked, "Are Prince Xie and his wife here?"
"Yes, Father and Mother are in the yard."
Chu Yi nodded, then said seriously, "Since the young master and his wife are both here, I should go and pay my respects. After all, this is my first visit, so I should show some courtesy."
Upon hearing this, Xie Jingchun couldn't help but laugh and said, "You really are very well-behaved."
"But that's alright, your father and mother have only heard your name, they haven't met you yet."
Qinglan Courtyard.
The room was bright and quiet as the soft sunlight filtered through the curtains.
Xie Yanli leaned casually against the soft couch, holding a thin thread-bound book in his hands, his expression cold.
After Qin Jiuwei finished dressing, she came out from behind the screen and saw him like this, so she couldn't help but raise an eyebrow.
"On such an important occasion as today, my mother-in-law has invited all the powerful and influential people in the capital. Aren't you going to the front yard to greet them?"
As she spoke, Qin Jiuwei reached out and slowly pulled the book from his hand.
Xie Yanli's gaze followed the book and landed steadily on Qin Jiuwei's pretty face, a faint smile playing on his lips. "I don't want to go."
Those people were either obsequious or had something to ask of him.
He would rather stay with Qin Jiuwei than see them.
Even without saying a word, I feel at ease.
Qin Jiu lowered her eyes, flipped through the book in her hand, and was about to speak.
Suddenly, her wrist tightened, and Xie Yanli pulled her into his arms.
She gasped softly, and when she looked up, she met Xie Yanli's smiling eyes.
He calmly embraced her and adjusted to a more comfortable position.
Qin Jiuwei struggled a little, her face flushing slightly: "Don't make trouble in broad daylight."
"I didn't make a fuss." Xie Yanli leaned closer, his smile deepening.
He took back the book that had just been taken away and placed it in front of the two of them, speaking in a serious tone.
"I wanted to read a book with you. You're the one who's thinking dirty thoughts."
Qin Jiuwei: ……
How dare they turn the tables and blame us!
She sullenly leaned against him, glancing at the words on the pages of the book, her expression growing increasingly dissatisfied.
Xie Yanli chuckled softly, raised a hand, and stroked her cheek.
He then lowered his head and kissed her cheek.
Caught off guard, Qin Jiuwei blushed immediately and tried to push him away, but he pulled her even tighter.
"You do this again!"
Xie Yanli ignored her, simply smiling as he lowered his head and kissed her ear again.
Qin Jiuwei closed her eyes briefly, her hands paused slightly, and she forgot to struggle.
I felt a burning sensation around my ears, and the heat spread from my face to my neck, causing my mind to gradually become confused.
Just as Xie Yanli was about to continue kissing, there was a soft knock on the door.
A maid's voice rang out, "Lady Heir, someone requests an audience."
Upon hearing the sound outside the door, Xie Yanli stopped what he was doing.
Taking advantage of the moment, Qin Jiuwei pushed him away abruptly, stood up quickly, and her face was still flushed.
She turned around hastily to straighten her clothes, pursed her lips, and tried to make her tone sound calm.
"Who's coming?"
"Reporting to the Lady of the Heir Apparent, it is Young Master Chun who has brought Young Master Chu."
The maid's voice came from outside the door, her tone respectful and cautious.
Young Master Chu?
Chu Yi?
I think I heard Xie Jingchun mention this name before.
Why did he suddenly come?
