Dan Xueyao chased after and blocked Xin Zizhao. She stood in front of him, looking up. "Fifth Young Master, although you're the Fifth Young Master and my father told me to endure, I must say this. Why do you always interfere between Brother Wei Luo and me?"
Actually, Xin Zizhao thought Dan Xueyao hadn't noticed his little tricks. But since she had, he wasn't afraid to admit it. "So what if I did? He's working for me now. I have the right to do so."
Xin Zizhao stepped closer, looking down at her. It was tiring for Dan Xueyao to look up at him, but she couldn't lose her momentum. She stared back at him unceremoniously.
At this moment, Wei Shuxuan had just finished washing up and came out of the room. She saw Xin Zizhao and Dan Xueyao standing one in front of the other. From her angle, it seemed as if Xin Zizhao was looking at Dan Xueyao affectionately.
She was a bit surprised. Had their relationship progressed so fast?
Wei Shuxuan quietly walked over. Seeing they didn't notice her, she thought not to disturb them and just quietly walked around. But as soon as she passed by, Dan Xueyao spotted her. "Brother Wei Luo, wait for me!"
Before leaving, Dan Xueyao gave Xin Zizhao a glare and then ran to Wei Shuxuan's side.
"Brother Wei Luo, are you going for breakfast?" Dan Xueyao got closer to Wei Shuxuan. Since Wei Shuxuan was a woman herself, she didn't think there was anything inappropriate about Dan Xueyao's behavior. Wei Shuxuan nodded. "Yes. Do you want to go together?"
"Sure!" This invitation made Dan Xueyao overjoyed. She turned back and gave Xin Zizhao a provocative look. However, Xin Zizhao pretended not to see and quickly walked to the other side of Wei Shuxuan.
"Xin Zizhao, where are you going?"
"For breakfast."
"Okay, then let's go together."
This answer instantly made Dan Xueyao, who was still feeling smug, blush with anger. But she didn't want to lose her temper in front of Wei Shuxuan, so she had to swallow her anger.
Xin Zizhao saw Dan Xueyao's angry and blushing face because of Wei Shuxuan's words. A faint smile appeared in his usually calm eyes. If Wei Shuxuan had turned around, she would have seen this amazing sight.
After breakfast, they set off. It was still some distance to the capital. It would take about three days by carriage to reach their destination.
Dan Linghai asked Xin Zizhao if they should travel through the night, but Xin Zizhao said it wasn't necessary. He wanted to enjoy the journey more. As long as they reached the capital before the agreed - upon deadline, it would be fine.
Dan Linghai understood Xin Zizhao's thoughts. After all, after the coming - of - age ceremony, Xin Zizhao would officially become the Fifth Prince, and then he would be trapped in the palace like a bird in a golden cage.
"Yes, Fifth Young Master."
After two days of long - distance travel, they finally arrived at Baiyang Town, the town closest to the capital.
Baiyang Town was located at the foot of the imperial city. The streets were extremely lively. It was on a completely different level from the towns where Wei Shuxuan and Xin Zizhao had stayed before. There was also a night market in the evening. The townspeople of Baiyang Town liked to go to the night market when they were free at night.
"This place is great! There's a night market. I want to see what's for sale there!" As soon as Wei Shuxuan knew there was a night market, she couldn't wait to have a look. After all, she had visited many night markets in modern times, and she also wanted to experience an ancient night market.
"Then I want to go with Brother Wei Luo too!" As soon as Dan Xueyao heard this, she insisted on going to the night market with Wei Shuxuan. She wanted to spend more time with Wei Shuxuan so that Wei Shuxuan would like her.
"I also have something to buy."
Xin Zizhao added from behind, glancing at Dan Xueyao's angry little face.
All the eye - contact between these two fell into Wei Shuxuan's eyes. So Xin Zizhao liked Dan Xueyao. As Xin Zizhao's good friend, she had to help him. It was related to her friend's lifelong happiness. How could she not step in?
Xin Zizhao, walking on one side, felt that Wei Shuxuan's look at him and Dan Xueyao had become strange since then, as if there was something going on between them. This feeling was really unpleasant.
They arrived in Baiyang Town in the afternoon. After finding an inn to stay in, Wei Shuxuan wanted to go out for a stroll. Since it was almost dark, it was just the right time to go to the night market.
Dan Xueyao saw that Wei Shuxuan really wanted to go out. After dinner, she avoided Xin Zizhao and quietly pulled Wei Shuxuan to a corner. "Brother Wei Luo, are you going out? I want to go with you too!"
"Sure, but will there be any problem with the Prime Minister?" Wei Shuxuan didn't think there was anything wrong with this, but she was just worried that Dan Linghai wouldn't let Dan Xueyao go out.
"It's okay, it's okay. My father can't control me that much."
Dan Xueyao waved her hand, indicating that Wei Shuxuan didn't need to worry so much. But Wei Shuxuan thought that if they went out alone, they could also call Xin Zizhao so that he could spend more time with Dan Xueyao.
Well, this was what a good matchmaker should do. Wei Shuxuan thought silently in her heart.
In the evening in Baiyang Town, the streets and alleys were filled with all kinds of shouts and conversations. Although it was a bit noisy, it was extremely lively. The lanterns on the street for lighting were in different shapes and colors, adding a beautiful touch to the bustling night market.
Dan Xueyao glared angrily at Xin Zizhao beside Wei Shuxuan. She asked Wei Shuxuan, "Why is this person... Why is the Fifth Young Master here?"
Realizing that her address was inappropriate, Dan Xueyao immediately changed it.
"The more people, the livelier. Don't be angry, don't be angry."
Seeing Dan Xueyao so angry, Wei Shuxuan thought Xin Zizhao had annoyed her in the morning. She comforted her with a smile. And Dan Xueyao didn't dare to say more out of respect for Wei Shuxuan.
"If you hadn't called me, I wouldn't have come."
Xin Zizhao, walking beside them, was clearly adding fuel to the fire. He wanted to anger this very annoying woman away from Wei Shuxuan.
"Okay, okay, stop arguing. We're all good friends!"
"Who's his good friend!"
"Well, I think so too."
Wei Shuxuan suddenly realized that it was really difficult for her to be in the middle of them. Being a matchmaker was really not an easy job!
Just then, when Wei Shuxuan wasn't paying attention, a woman bumped into her...
