Long Yin shot him a look but did not say much. All he said was, "I appreciate the trouble, Big Brother Beitang."
Beitang You shook his head and walked in. "I thought you would arrive two days later. I never expected you would already be here today. It must have been a long and arduous journey."
"It was not that bad. Thank you for taking care of Yaoyao all this ti. She must have given you quite a lot of trouble," Long Yin said politely.
"Things aren't as bad as you think. Yaoyao is very well-behaved and did not give too much trouble," Beitang You said with a smile.
Qi Heng and the others listened as both of them spoke to each other. The conversation sounded normal, but for so reason, there seed to be unfriendly fire between them.
"Please have a seat." Beitang You gestured politely to Long Yin.
Long Yin did not decline and returned to his seat.
Beitang You sat on his right side.
The housekeeper imdiately served up so tea.
Yuan You stared wide-eyed at Beitang You.
That was strange. His Majesty had arrived quite early on. Why did he claim he was just here?
"This must be the Crown Prince's first ti in the Yan Kingdom, am I right?" Beitang You asked Long Yin with a smile.
Long Yin glanced at him. He neither liked nor disliked this man, but he had more patience when dealing with Beitang You due to his relationship with his mother.
"Yes."
"You have to stay and visit the Yan Kingdom for a few more days."
"Let's talk about this after we see Yaoyao." Long Yin's tone was calm and casual.
Beitang You glanced at him. Long Yin was much younger than he was, but he handled the situation in a calm and collected way.
He knew long ago that his future brother-in-law was no ordinary man. eting him today proved how immaculate Long Yin was.
"That's just as well." Beitang You nodded.
After finishing a pot of tea, Yaoyao finally walked in with Hexin by her side.
"Big Sis Yaoyao!" Bao Yu was the first to greet her.
Qi Heng and Long Huaiyuan stood up and bowed to her imdiately.
Yaoyao looked at the three of them in surprise. "Why are all of you here?"
"We are here to bring you ho, Princess," Qi Heng replied respectfully.
Yaoyao laughed drily. She had never thought that her stubborn actions would turn into such a huge matter.
She was a little afraid to look at her Royal Brother who was seated in the main seat.
To give herself a little more courage, she pulled Hexin along as she went forward.
"Royal Brother…"
Long Yin sat steadily on his chair and did not get up. The mont his younger sister walked in, he quietly looked her up and down. He was secretly relieved when he was sure she was all right.
When he saw how she looked a little afraid, he knew she was feeling guilty.
His slender fingers brushed against the pattern on the teacup as he said nonchalantly, "Oh, I see you still rember ."
Yaoyao, "…"
She could tell from his tone that he was angry without needing to see his face.
"You really know how to joke, Royal Brother. How can I forget you when I haven't lost my mory? Besides, you're heroic and masterful, handso and extraordinary. You'll be the only one I'll rember even after I've forgotten everyone else." Yaoyao released Hexin's hand as she spoke, and she went forward to hug his arm playfully. "I miss you a lot, Royal Brother."
Beitang You's eyes narrowed slightly.
Long Yin had wanted to berate her more, but when he saw her eyes turning slightly red, he could only sigh in the end and hug her.
This was the first ti the girl had left the house since growing up. She must have suffered quite a lot.
He rubbed her head. "Don't you ever run off like this next ti. Father and Mother were so worried about you."
Yaoyao had taken a softer approach to getting her Royal Brother's forgiveness, but when she heard how gentle her Royal Brother's tone was, she ended up wanting to cry instead. She missed her parents.
"I won't run off like this again…" She sniffled and her voice choked with a sob.
