Chapter 810: Chapter 720, Both Insomnia Chapter 810: Chapter 720, Both Insomnia Daohua’s response made Xiao Yeyang cast aside so of his reservations, and his actions beca much bolder than before, indulging long in a deep kiss without suppressing his desires.
Xiao Yeyang kissed almost greedily, but just then, he felt the hem of his robe being yanked aside with force, accompanied by a husky bark.
Xiao Yeyang didn’t want to end the kiss that had taken him by surprise, so he extended his leg to lightly kick Dog Xiaoyi, who was biting his robe, and glared fiercely at it.
However, this only led to Dog Xiaoyi tugging even more fiercely.
“Rip~”
The sound of the robe tearing rang out.
Hearing this, Daohua, a bit dazed from the kiss, paused and opened her eyes to look toward the direction of the sound.
“Woof, woof, woof!”
Dog Xiaoyi seed dissatisfied, barking at the couple who were embracing each other.
Daohua’s eyes gradually cleared, and thinking about the passionate kiss monts ago, her cheeks instantly flared up like burning flas, and she electrically dropped her hands that had been around Xiao Yeyang’s neck.
Her eyes lowered timidly, avoiding his gaze, this Daohua made Xiao Yeyang’s heart run wild with thoughts.
“Xiao Yeyang, you can let go of now!”
Her voice was soft with a hint of coquettishness, which reached his ears. Xiao Yeyang appeared reluctant as he held her tight, “No, stay with a bit longer.”
“Woof, woof, woof!”
Dog Xiaoyi barked again.
Seeing this, Daohua spoke again, “Xiao Yeyang, if Xiaoyi keeps barking like that, the patrolling maids will co. Let go of .” She paused, then added, “You should leave. I also need to go back and rest.”
Xiao Yeyang nuzzled Daohua’s cheek and neck, then reluctantly let go of her, glaring at Dog Xiaoyi, who had interrupted their mont.
Next ti, he’d definitely bring more chicken legs; perhaps he could stuff the gluttonous dog to paralysis!
It was only after her heart was not pounding so fiercely that Daohua looked at Xiao Yeyang, “You should go.”
Xiao Yeyang smiled, “You go first, then I’ll go.”
Daohua glanced at Xiao Yeyang, “From now on, don’t co climbing over the wall late at night.”
Xiao Yeyang, “What if I miss you?”
Daohua paused, then said firmly, “I don’t care, you just can’t co climbing over the wall anymore. If soone sees, who knows what rumors will spread.”
Xiao Yeyang, “You think I’ll be seen? You underestimate .”
Daohua, “…it’s always better to be careful when you frequently walk by the river, you can’t avoid getting your shoes wet. You could co during the day. If you co knocking at our door, my parents wouldn’t oppose.”
Xiao Yeyang muttered, “But I can’t be alone with you during the day.”
“What did you say?”
Daohua didn’t catch what he said and saw Xiao Yeyang shaking his head refusing to repeat, she chose to let it go, “It’s getting late, I should return, and you should leave quickly.”
After saying this, she glanced at him and started walking toward Wang Manman and Bi Shi, who were waiting by the archway, with Dog Xiaoyi wagging its tail and following her.
As she reached the archway, Daohua stopped, turned back with a beaming smile, waved at Xiao Yeyang hidden in the shadows of the flowers, and then touching the agate ring on her left hand, she quickly left.
It was only when Daohua’s figure was out of sight that Xiao Yeyang retracted his gaze, stood motionless for a while, and just when he was about to leave, he caught sight of a silk cloth on the ground.
Xiao Yeyang picked up the silk cloth, held it to his nose and sniffed, knowing it belonged to Daohua. He smiled, folded it carefully, tucked it into his chest, and then vaulted over the wall.
…
Daohua Pavilion.
“Miss, why is your face so red?”
Daohua had just entered the room when Guyu, who was on night duty, noticed her abnormally red cheeks.
Daohua replied with a hint of unnaturalness, “I took a walk outside, it’s a bit hot.” While speaking, she picked up a round fan and started fanning herself vigorously.
Guyu stepped forward with a cup of tea in hand and handed it over, “Miss, you went out right after freshening up, please be careful not to catch a cold.”
Daohua took the tea and finished it in one gulp, “No, I’m just hot from the walk. Oh, could you bring a basin of warm water? I’ll feel better after I wash my face.”
After washing her face, Daohua went to bed to sleep.
However, as she lay in bed, she found herself unable to fall asleep for a long ti.
Looking at the ring on her left hand, the mory of Xiao Yeyang’s proposal on bended knee would co to mind involuntarily, and a smile would uncontrollably spill across her lips.
In the outer room, Guyu, hearing Daohua tossing and turning and sotis accompanied by suppressed laughter, flashed a look of puzzlent in her eyes.
Miss seems to be in an exceptionally good mood tonight!
anwhile, Xiao Yeyang had returned to his own residence. After freshening up and lying in bed, he too could not sleep, smiling involuntarily as he looked at the ring on his left hand and rembered the scene with Daohua earlier that evening.
He had originally just planned to go to the Yan Residence to deliver the ring tonight, never expecting to receive such a delightful surprise.
The mory of Daohua’s initiative and response still thrilled him now.
If he had known that girl liked rings, he would have given her one sooner.
The more Xiao Yeyang thought about it, the more awake he beca, and reaching for the silk by his pillow, he couldn’t help but take in the scent, which bore Daohua’s fragrance, and his eyes darkened with intensity.
The thought of Daohua’s incredibly soft and exquisite body in his arms that evening was uncontrollable in his mind.
As he thought, a wave of heat surged through his body.
“De Fu!”
De Fu, who was guarding outside, shivered at the call, “Master, what is it?”
“Get a bucket of cold water!”
De Fu blurted out an inquiry as to its purpose, but swallowed the question back just as it reached his lips, and hurriedly left the room to fetch the water.
Two quarters of an hour later, seeing Xiao Yeyang erge from the cold water bath, De Fu couldn’t help but curse in his heart those who prevented his master from marrying.
“The master is about to co of age soon, at the pri of his vigor, and yet they are dragging their feet on his marriage. It’s downright inhumane!”
…
Beijing, the epicenter of power and nobility, always abounded in banquets and gatherings, except during periods of national mourning.

However, rembering the special attention the old King Yong showed when he first t the newly appointed Princess of Shengping, Princess Huijia included a card for the Yan Family.
Upon receiving Princess Huijia’s card, everyone in the Yan Family was sowhat surprised.
Princess Huijia, the Emperor’s sister, was rumored to share a good relationship with him, a true mber of the imperial family, and a sought-after connection among all families in Beijing.
Madam Li was a bit nervous; this would be the Yan Family’s first ti attending such an important social event since moving to the capital, and nothing could go wrong.
Han Xinran, knowing she had upset Madam Li over her natal family’s issues, offered to teach her younger sisters the etiquette of attending a banquet and to elucidate the relationships among the various families in Beijing as soon as she learned they would attend the banquet at the Princess Residence.
Madam Li nodded in agreent; while Han Xinran instructed Daohua and her sisters, she personally oversaw the sewing room staff rush to prepare the garnts they would wear to the banquet.
Soon, April 20th arrived.
Madam Li, accompanied by Han Xinran and the four Daohua sisters, arrived at Princess Huijia’s Residence neither too early nor too late.
