However, Li Yaxuan could see that this pair of jade ruyi was indeed a rare treasure and worth the price.

Jade ruyi of this quality is already very rare, and this is a pair, which makes it even more valuable.

Wedding gifts naturally have to come in pairs. This jade ruyi not only has excellent meaning, but also comes in pairs, which is absolutely perfect.

Li Yaxuan paid the money immediately without any hesitation.

"Miss, I plan to give this jade ruyi to my brother and sister-in-law as a wedding gift. Please help me wrap it up beautifully."

Qingzhi smiled and replied, "Of course, please wait a moment, Miss Li."

While Li Yaxuan was waiting for Qingzhi to pack the jade ruyi, she unexpectedly met an "acquaintance".

Li Yaxuan sat on the chair and waited quietly. She did not notice the person who came in. It was that person who greeted her first.

"Isn't this Miss Li?"

Li Yaxuan only felt that the voice was very familiar, but she couldn't remember where she had heard it.

Li Yaxuan looked in the direction of the voice. She obviously didn't expect to meet Ye Hengjing here. She asked in surprise, "Second Prince?"

As soon as these three words were spoken, Li Yaxuan immediately realized that this was inappropriate and quickly covered her mouth.

After all, this is outside, so it doesn't matter if Li Yaxuan's identity is known.

But Ye Hengjing is not from here after all, so his identity should not be made public.

If other people knew about this, it would probably cause unnecessary trouble.

Fortunately, Qingzhi was wrapping gifts for Li Yaxuan, so there were no outsiders in the room at the moment.

Li Yaxuan blurted out the words subconsciously. After she realized what was happening, she said apologetically, "Sorry, I didn't pay attention. I'm afraid it's inappropriate to call you like that outside."

Ye Hengjing smiled slightly when he heard this. He didn't expect that this little girl, who looked carefree, was actually quite careful.

"That's true. Don't people here call men 'gongzi'? My last name is Ye, so you can call me gongzi Ye. Let me also experience what it's like to be an ordinary person."

Li Yaxuan noticed that Ye Hengjing's self-reference had changed from "this king" to "I", and nodded in cooperation.

"Okay, Master Ye. I haven't asked you yet, why are you here?"

Ye Hengjing discovered today that Li Yaxuan's attitude towards him seemed quite different from the day at Prince Jin's Mansion. Today she spoke to him with a smile and her voice was very sweet.

Li Yaxuan's voice seemed to be mixed with honey. The three words "Mr. Ye" sounded particularly pleasant when spoken from her mouth, making Ye Hengjing want to listen to them a few more times.

Ye Hengjing looked around and whispered, "I'm a little bored staying in the palace all day. I just wanted to go out for a walk today. I didn't expect to meet Miss Li here. It seems we are destined to meet."

Ye Hengjing seemed to be afraid that someone would hear the word "palace", so he was quite close to Li Yaxuan when he said this. Li Yaxuan could even feel his breath coming towards her.

Li Yaxuan was startled by Ye Hengjing's sudden approach and subconsciously took a step back.

"Well, it's quite a coincidence. I'm here to buy gifts for my brother and sister-in-law today."

Ye Hengjing saw Li Yaxuan's helplessness and quietly retreated to his original position without saying anything more.

"I see. They are about to get married, so I should send them a gift."

Li Yaxuan waved her hands immediately after hearing this. "No need. You have helped them a lot this time. How can they still ask for your gift? Having said that, I haven't formally thanked you yet. Thank you for helping them. I thank you on behalf of my brother and sister-in-law."

Ever since she knew that Ye Hengjing took the initiative to help Li Zhehao and Xiao Qingning, Li Yaxuan's impression of Ye Hengjing has completely changed.

It turns out that Ye Hengjing just looks a little unkind, but he is actually a kind-hearted person.

All his behavior that day was just a joke to them, but they took it seriously.

Ye Hengjing smiled when he heard this. "Let's put it this way. I accept the thanks, but I can't avoid the gift. But then again, is Miss Li's way of expressing gratitude just to say it verbally?"

Li Yaxuan was stunned when she heard this. Although she didn't understand what he meant, he was indeed a great contributor this time. Li Yaxuan was grateful to him from the bottom of her heart.

"Mr. Ye, please feel free to ask for anything you want. As long as it's not too excessive, I can do it."

Looking at the serious look of the little girl in front of him, Ye Hengjing found her very cute and wanted to tease her again.

"Let's not talk about my request first. I'm very curious about what the excessive request that Miss Li just mentioned is. What does it mean?"

As soon as these words were spoken, Li Yaxuan's face turned red and she stammered, not knowing how to respond.

She said it without thinking too much. It was a very normal premise, but somehow, it became so inappropriate when Ye Hengjing said it.

"I... this doesn't have any special meaning, it's just what it says, don't take it too seriously."

Ye Hengjing smiled when he heard this, and almost laughed out loud when he saw Li Yaxuan's embarrassed look.

The purpose of teasing Li Yaxuan was achieved. Ye Hengjing was afraid that she would really be angry, so he quickly adjusted his expression.

"Okay, I know what you mean. You don't have to rush to explain. It's almost noon. If Miss Li really wants to thank me, why not do me a favor and have lunch with me?"

Li Yaxuan breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this. She thought Ye Hengjing would make some difficult requests, but it turned out that it was just a meal.

Li Yaxuan agreed very readily, "Of course, no problem. How about this, I'll invite you to have lunch at Tianxianglou, the best restaurant in Beijing, and let you taste our delicious food."

Ye Hengjing was very satisfied with this and naturally had no objection.

"Ms. Li is so kind, I will certainly agree to it."

While the two were talking, Qingzhi had already carefully wrapped the gift and gave it to Li Yaxuan.

Li Yaxuan took it and examined it carefully, and exclaimed: "Wow, you are so skillful, you wrapped it so delicately, I am very satisfied."

Qingzhi smiled upon hearing this and said modestly, "Miss Li, thank you for your compliment. I'm glad you're satisfied."

While Qingzhi was talking to Li Yaxuan, she unconsciously looked at Ye Hengjing beside her.

Qingzhi could see that the two obviously knew each other, but she didn't say anything more about Ye Hengjing and just continued talking to Li Yaxuan.

"Thank you very much today. I will come here often in the future."

Qingzhi nodded and said with a smile, "Miss Li, you are welcome. Take care."

Qingzhi watched coldly for a while. Although she didn't know the man, she inexplicably felt that he had a close relationship with Miss Li.

Qingzhi secretly took note of this and told Princess Chen when she came back.

Li Yaxuan and Ye Hengjing came to Tianxiang Tower. They were lucky today as there was a vacant room upstairs.

Li Yaxuan seldom goes out, and actually doesn't know that not everyone is qualified to use the private rooms in Tianxiang Tower. It is even more unlikely that Ye Hengjing knows this.
