Chapter 310: Chapter 291: Speechless_1
Because of a single remark from Xiao Yeyang, everyone stood up one after another.
Xiao Yeyang only glanced at Daohua before making his way straight out of the pavilion.
Daohua and Dong Yuanyao, hand in hand, hurriedly followed.
After them came Yan Wenkai and Su Hongxin.
Before leaving, Dong Yuanxuan and Zhou Chengye nodded at Feng Hao and the others.
Feng Hao stood still; without an invitation, it wouldn’t be appropriate for them to follow.
Since he didn’t move, Feng Liangji and the rest naturally didn’t dare to move either.
Yan Wenxiu and the three brothers, talking about the things they’d seen in Beijing, gradually moved toward the outside of the pavilion. Noticing Feng Liangji and the others standing still and taking a glance at Xiao Yeyang and the group ahead, he pondered for a moment, then smiled and said, “It’s rare to come out and enjoy the flowers, let’s all go together.”
At these words, Feng Liangji’s face brightened with joy, “Good!”
He wasn’t actually trying to cling to the Little Prince and other dignitaries; his uncle and Sun Yongyi were his guests, and now that they were out and about, it would be somewhat embarrassing and a loss of face if they weren’t invited to enjoy the flowers as well.
Luckily, the eldest son of the Yan Family was quite amiable and considerate.
Afterwards, the entire group left the pavilion together, and Feng Hao took the opportunity to strike up a conversation with Yan Wenxiu.
As a direct descendant of the Feng Family from Jiguang, Feng Hao naturally had considerable knowledge and, being so young yet already an accomplished scholar, it wasn’t long before he hit it off with Yan Wenxiu.
Li Chenyi lagged a step behind, pulled Feng Liangji to the rear, and asked in a low voice, “What did you do to upset my cousin?”
Feng Liangji’s face became uncomfortable, and after hemming and hawing for a while, he finally clarified the situation.
Li Chenyi frowned and shot a glance at Sun Jiayue ahead, his expression turning a bit cold, “Liangji, we’ve known each other since before, and now our families are even related by marriage. There are some things I won’t beat around the bush about.”
“There’s nothing going on between you and Sun Jiayue, right?”
Upon hearing this, Feng Liangji’s face drastically changed, “Of course not!” His voice became shrill with agitation, drawing the attention of Yan Wenxiu and the others in front of them.
Feng Liangji’s face stiffened, and once the attention of the others had shifted away, he hurriedly explained, “I swear, there’s absolutely nothing between me and Sun Jiayue. If I really had any intentions toward her, I would have had my mother approach her family for a marriage proposal long ago.”
Li Chenyi snorted coldly but said nothing.
Seeing him like that, Feng Liangji didn’t know how else to explain, so he could only say, “I came out today to enjoy the flowers with my uncle, and thinking it would be too quiet with just the two of us, I invited Sun Yongyi to accompany us. How was I to know he would bring his sister along?”
Seeing that Li Chenyi remained silent, Feng Liangji had no choice but to say, “I promise, I will stay far away from Sun Jiayue in the future, okay?”
Li Chenyi was silent for a while, “Last time, a few days before your engagement was announced, you went to Joy Street. My father, mother, and my aunt and uncle were not happy when they found out.”
“This time, just three days after the announcement, my cousin sees you and Sun Jiayue in such an improper manner. To be honest, it makes me uncomfortable.”
“Every time you have an excuse, so let me ask you, once you are married to Zixuan, will you make her sad because of other excuses?”
Feng Liangji assured repeatedly, “There won’t be a next time.”
Li Chenyi looked at Feng Liangji intently, making him uncomfortable, before finally saying, “I hope your words match your actions.”
It wasn’t until Li Chenyi walked towards Yan Wenxiu that Feng Liangji raised his head and wiped the sweat from his forehead.
He really should not have left the house today.
First, he was squeezed by the girl from the Yan Family, and just now he was threatened by his future brother-in-law. He was really having too hard a time.
Feng Yiyun looked worriedly at his elder brother, “Brother, are you alright?”
Feng Liangji was about to say he was fine when he saw Sun Jiayue walking towards him. Without a word, he quickly walked to Li Chenyi and his brothers, gesturing to his good friend Sun Yongyi with his eyes to take care of his sister.
He really couldn’t take any more twists and turns!
…
“Where are we going?”
Daohua followed Xiao Yeyang and Dong Yuanyao, and upon seeing they were getting farther and farther from the garden, couldn’t help but ask.
Xiao Yeyang pointed upwards.
Looking up, Daohua saw the kites fluttering in the sky and asked, “Are you taking us to fly kites?”
Xiao Yeyang glanced at her and smiled, “You’re quite the guesser.”
Daohua shrugged her shoulders, It was pretty obvious from your hint.
Upon hearing they were going to fly kites, Dong Yuanyao immediately became excited, took Daohua by the hand, and said, “Let’s have a competition later to see whose kite will fly farther and higher.”
