Xu Jinyi's tone was relaxed, but Han Ting still felt distressed.

"I'm sorry, I was picked up at that time and didn't leave you a message."

"It doesn't matter, as long as my brother is alive."

"Gulu gulu..."

Xu Jinyi: "..."

Han Ting rubbed her head with a low laugh: "Let's go and have dinner."

After all this trouble, half a day had passed, even lunch time had passed, and Xu Jinyi was already starving.

When Xu Jinyi saw the home-cooked dishes on the table, he was stunned.

Braised loach, perilla snails, fried small fish, honey roasted chicken, stuffed tofu, blanched sand shrimp, tiger prawns, cold shredded potato, and bean sprouts in soup.

"The food in your Regent Palace is quite surprising. It's so down-to-earth."

"Aren't these your favorite? Come and sit down and try them." Han Ting pulled out a stool for her.

The housekeeper stood aside with a smile on his face, looking at Xu Jinyi with loving eyes.

Their Regent's Palace is finally going to have a mistress, and I think it won't be long before their little master will also have one.

Thinking of this, the butler looked at Xu Jinyi with even more enthusiasm.

This made Xu Jinyi feel a little uncomfortable.

"You guys go down, no need to wait on me."

"Yes."

After everyone had left, Han Ting began to pick up food for her.

"Take this as your own home and eat whatever you want."

"Then I'm welcome!"

The plate of fragrant and hot basil snails was so tempting that Xu Jinyi scooped two spoonfuls directly with a spoon.

“Can I eat with my hands?”

Although he asked this, Xu Jinyi definitely took action.

When eating snails, you have to suck them with your mouth to make them taste good.

If you use a bamboo stick to pick it up, the fun of eating snails will be ruined.

"Brother, you should eat it too. It's delicious."

"you eat."

For Han Ting, food is just something to fill his stomach. He doesn’t care whether it tastes good or not, as long as he is full and not hungry.

But seeing the little girl eating happily, I felt that today's food was especially delicious.

He raised his hand to lift the hair that fell by her ear, and his fingertips accidentally brushed across her cheek.

Xu Jinyi's eyes flashed, and she seemed to feel her hot cheeks.

Zhuifeng walked in at this time: "Master, I found out that these venomous people should be the work of that person."

Han Ting sneered, "You haven't even learned to walk yet, but you want to fly. Aren't you afraid of falling even harder?"

"Go, give him the gift I prepared. Let him be pleasantly surprised when he opens his eyes tomorrow."

Zhuifeng hesitated and said, "Master, tomorrow is the Queen Mother's birthday."

"Is there a difference?"

"Yes."

Xu Jinyi pretended not to hear their conversation: "Brother, are you going to attend the palace banquet tomorrow?"

"I didn't plan to go, but I decided to go to protect my child. I was afraid that if I didn't go, my child would be bullied."

Xu Jinyi: "!! I'm not a kid."

Han Ting took off his jade pendant and handed it to her: "My token of love."

Seeing the familiar jade pendant again, Xu Jinyi teased, "Didn't my brother say that this jade pendant belongs to your future wife?"

"Ah."

Han Ting didn't say anything, nor did he explain, but instead handed the jade pendant to her.

Xu Jinyi deliberately misunderstood his meaning and said briskly: "Brother, do you want me to find a sister-in-law for you?"

"What do you say?"

Han Ting looked at her with a strong possessive look, and that scorching gaze made Xu Jinyi's heart tremble.

"How should I know!" Xu Jinyi deliberately returned the jade pendant to him.

Han Ting suddenly put his arms around her slender waist and pulled her in: "My little bride has grown up."

Xu Jinyi blushed, and the memories of ten years ago were instantly brought back.

At that time, she always liked to pester him to play house, wanted to be his bride, and even stole his jade pendant many times.

"Brother..."

The two of them were very close to each other, and the scent of sandalwood on his body surrounded her, which made Xu Jinyi unable to think at all, and she didn't know how ambiguous their postures were at the moment.

That soft and tender voice, like a seduction, made Han Ting involuntarily stroke her bright lips with his thumb.

Just when he couldn't help but get closer and kiss her beautiful red lips.

The butler suddenly rushed in with dessert.

Xu Jinyi covered her face in embarrassment and sat back in her seat.

Han Ting calmly adjusted his robe and sat down.

Xu Jinyi could feel Han Ting's burning gaze without even looking.

"It's getting late. I need to go back for a nap. Xinyue is stable for now, but it will probably take a few days for her to wake up. I'll come back to give her acupuncture after the palace banquet tomorrow."

After saying that, Xu Jinyi jumped up and ran away as if escaping.

The low laughter coming from behind made Xu Jinyi run faster.

When returning to the Shangshu Mansion, Xu Jinyi happened to witness a good show.

Standing in the garden corridor, Xu Jinyi looked at the man and woman hugging each other in the garden with a smile.

"Brother, please don't be like this. Seeing you in so much pain makes Wanwan feel bad too."

"Brother, no matter what you become, in Wanwan's heart, you are the best brother."

"The Luo family didn't break off the engagement because of your face. Don't think so, brother. You still have us."

Xu Qingyan was in great pain. Now that the news of his disfigurement had spread, the originally arranged marriage was cancelled.

The biggest blow was that he always felt that everyone looked at him with unkindness and sympathy.

He couldn't stand it anymore.

In the past few days since he came back, he has regretted every day if he had not gone to pick someone up.

If he hadn't decided to stay in the woods.

If he had been on horseback when the wolves came.

If...if there was an if, then he wouldn't become like this.

Xu Qingyan hugged Xu Jingwan like a life-saving straw: "Wanwan, I only have you, Wanwan, Wanwan."

Xu Jinyi sneered, interrupting the warmth between the two.

When Xu Jingwan saw Xu Jinyi appear, she quickly withdrew from Xu Qingyan's arms.

"Xu Jingwan, comfort doesn't just come from words. You always say you want to repay my family's kindness, but now that my eldest brother has become like this, I'm afraid no one in the capital is willing to marry him. And you want to stay in my family, so why don't you marry my eldest brother? Anyway, you have a good relationship and you're not related by blood."

Xu Jingwan's eyes were sharp: "Xu Jinyi, what nonsense are you talking about? My brother and I have a pure brother-sister relationship."

"Brother and sister? What kind of brother and sister would hug each other and be as close as lovers?"

Xu's mother came over at this time: "What are you arguing about again?"

Seeing that Xu Jinyi was involved in this matter again, Xu's mother subconsciously opened her mouth to scold her, but then she remembered her husband's instructions and took her words back.

"Xiaoyi is back. How are you getting along with the princess?"

"That's all." Xu Jinyi said and left, ignoring her flattering smile.

Xu Jingwan also hurriedly followed, almost showing disgust on her face.

At the corner, Xu Jingwan blocked Xu Jinyi's way.

Xu Jingwan was smart this time. She didn't beat around the bush and asked directly, "Xu Jinyi, what exactly do you want to do? What did you want to do when you said that just now?"
