“Miss Jiang.”

Seeing her, Lin ngyao couldn’t hold back her smile anymore. She walked forward and bowed to Jiang Yan.

Jiang Yan returned the greeting, but she quietly stood beside Xiao Junhao.

ngyao Lin bit her lip and walked to the side.

“Your Highness, I find this ice-skating quite interesting. Why don’t we go and have a try?”

Jiang Yan saw Xiao Nanye and Jiang Peihuan on the ice and, thinking of sothing, she laughed and turned to Xiao Junhao.

“If Miss Jiang wishes, I will accompany you.”

Jiang Yan, although she made the suggestion, was prepared for Xiao Junhao to refuse. After all, she had heard about the relationship between Lin ngyao and Xiao Junhao.

But to Jiang Yan’s surprise, Xiao Junhao agreed to her request.

However, the ones who went down weren’t just Jiang Yan and Xiao Junhao, because Lin ngyao also joined them.

Jiang Peihuan, who was having fun, suddenly heard a familiar and annoying voice.

“Imperial Uncle?”

Turning her head, Jiang Peihuan saw Xiao Junhao approaching.

Although she deeply disliked this man, due to his royal status, Jiang Peihuan had no choice but to rise from her sleigh and bow to him.

Xiao Nanye looked at the group of people who had suddenly appeared, and his expression instantly turned cold. He looked coldly at Xiao Junhao and said, “Why has the Prince Qing co here?”

“Today is the first snow, and the city river must be very lively. As this is Miss Jiang’s first visit to the capital, I wanted to show her around.”

Hearing this, Jiang Yan’s eyes showed a hint of surprise, followed by derision.

If she hadn’t seen Lin ngyao standing next to Xiao Junhao, she might have thought he had brought her out intentionally.

However, this was her future husband. So, smiling, Jiang Yan turned to Jiang Peihuan, “Miss Jiang, we et again.”

Next, Jiang Yan greeted Xiao Nanye, “King Cheng?”

Regarding Jiang Yan’s greeting, Xiao Nanye rely glanced at her without saying a word.

“Huan Er, do you still want to continue playing?”

Turning to look at Jiang Peihuan, Xiao Nanye’s eyes were full of tenderness.

Having played for a while and seeing Xiao Junhao, even the best scenery could not uplift Jiang Peihuan’s mood. Hearing Xiao Nanye’s words, she softly said, “Cousin Qi is waiting for us over there. Let’s go find them.”

“Alright.”

Hearing Jiang Peihuan’s words, the man nodded lightly.

In front of these people, Jiang Peihuan naturally could not sit on the sleigh letting Xiao Junhao pull her.

Moreover, the path ahead was uphill, so Jiang Peihuan stepped off the sleigh.

“Miss Jiang, you continue to play. I’ll go first,” Jiang Peihuan said in a soft voice as she walked to Jiang Yan’s side.

She then proceeded to follow Xiao Nanye.

However, as she passed by Xiao Junhao, Jiang Peihuan suddenly lost her footing.

“Be careful!”

Xiao Junhao, who was standing beside Jiang Peihuan, saw her fall into the ice water and subconsciously reached out his hand.

Thanks to Xiao Junhao’s quick reflexes, Jiang Peihuan was pulled to safety, though her shoes and socks were wet.

That was fortunate; if not for Xiao Junhao’s tily intervention, Jiang Peihuan might have fallen into the icy water.

By this ti, Xiao Nanye had co over.

Reaching out to hold Jiang Peihuan’s hand, the man sized her up carefully.” Huan Er, are you hurt?”

“I’m fine.”

Seeing Jiang Peihuan shake her head, Xiao Nanye squatted down, touched her wet shoes, and frowned.

“Your shoes and socks are wet.”

The bottom of Jiang Peihuan’s feet were piercingly cold, but hearing Xiao Nanye’s words, she softly said, “No problem, I’ll change into a new pair in the carriage later.”

“First, take off the wet shoes and socks.”

As he spoke, Xiao Nanye had already helped Jiang Peihuan sit on the sleigh.

Afterward, the man squatted down, turning his back to Xiao Junhao and the others.

Ignoring Jian Peihuan’s attempts to stop him, Xiao Nanye carefully took off her shoes and socks.

There was a hint of embarrassnt in Jiang Peihuan’s eyes, but the scene that followed made her eyes reveal a bit of surprise.

Xiao Nanye removed his cloak and covered Jiang Peihuan with it, placing her feet inside.

What’s more, he took her feet in his hands. Jiang Peihuan instinctively tried to withdraw, but he tightened his grip.

In just a mont, Jiang Peihuan’s cold feet ward up.

Only after both of Jiang Peihuan’s feet were warm did he release them, ticulously covering her with his cloak before bending down to pick up her shoes and socks.

Without even looking at Xiao Junhao and the others, Xiao Nanye began pulling the sleigh’s reins, moving forward.

Though dressed in simple black attire, Jiang Peihuan’s eyes brimd with smiles as she looked at his retreating figure.

Xiao Junhao and the other two had different expressions on their faces as they watched them leave.

At this mont, Jiang Yan remarked lightly, “How did the ice crack all of a sudden?”

While speaking, her gaze landed directly on Lin ngyao.

eting Jiang Yan’s gaze, Lin ngyao responded with a smile, “After all, it’s only the first day; it’s normal for the ice to be unstable.”

However, Lin ngyao’s hand slipped into her cloak.

Seeing her movent, Jiang Yan simply smiled and said nothing more.

Xiao Junhao only withdrew his hand when Jiang Peihuan and Xiao Nanye disappeared from his sight.

“Don’t move.”

Upon reaching the shore, Jiang Peihuan prepared to stand up. Just as she was about to, she heard Xiao Nanye’s voice.

Imdiately, he reached out, lifting Jiang Peihuan into his arms horizontally.

“Huan Er, what happened? Are you hurt?”

Xue Qi, who had been playing with Han Feng, rushed over after seeing this. He ran so quickly that he almost tripped.

Seeing the worry in Xue Qi’s eyes, Jiang Peihuan whispered, “I’m fine; I just accidentally got my shoes and socks wet.”

“Do we have a spare pair of shoes and socks in the carriage?”

By this ti, Xiao Nanye, still holding Jiang Peihuan, had reached the carriage and directed his question to Ye Xiao.

“Yes.”

Hearing Ye Xiao’s response, Xiao Nanye, carrying Jiang Peihuan, entered the carriage.

Ye Xiao had already taken out Jiang Peihuan’s shoes and socks from a drawer in the carriage. As she was about to approach, Xiao Nanye took them from her and said, “You can go out first.”

Hearing Xiao Nanye’s voice, Ye Xiao paused in surprise. Seeing that Jiang Peihuan didn’t protest, she exited the carriage.

Soon, only Xiao Nanye and Jiang Peihuan were left inside.

Seeing him co over with the shoes and socks, Jiang Peihuan quickly extended her hand, “1 can do it myself..”
