Chapter 80: Didn’t you say it wasn’t scary?
Since the last time, the two of them made plans to go out to eat together.

Xiao Mingxuan controlled her more and more. Not only was her diet restricted, but even her favorite candies were confiscated.

It's a nice way of saying it's for her teeth's sake.

"Princess, the Ninth Prince sent his secretary to tell you that he had some urgent matters and would arrive a little later." Yun Hui handed a cup of tea to Xihe and spoke slowly.

"Is that so?" Xihe sat on the couch, swinging her two little feet. The bells tied to her ankles jingled, which was very pleasant to the ear. "Then let's go find my cousin first. We should be in time."

Xihe had been having so much fun these past two days that she almost forgot the box that Zhao Siyuan asked her to give to Xu Chengyuan.

Xihe looked at the box from left to right but did not open it.

"What's in here?"

She is really curious.

Ever since Xu Chengyuan received Yun Hui's message, he started to dress himself up early. The mud monkey that was usually thrown into the mud by his own father has now dressed up like a human being and looks very energetic.

He waited under the big tree, pacing back and forth, feeling a little nervous.

After all, this is the first time that my little cousin has asked me out.

Suddenly, I heard a bell sound coming from far away.

"Cousin, you're here so early."

Xihe's sweet voice sounded behind him, with an unfathomable smile on her face, just like a little fox.

"Sister, you are finally here."

It is now mid-April and the summer heat has quietly arrived. After just a short while, I feel a little hot.

"Sorry, cousin, I'm late." Xihe grinned at Xu Chengyuan.

"It's okay, it's not too late." Xu Chengyuan waved his hands quickly. After a while, his eyes unconsciously glanced at Xihe's hands behind her back, "Sister, you asked me to come here..."

"Of course I have something for my cousin." The little girl had a mysterious smile on her face, and the thing hidden behind her seemed like a rare treasure.

"What is that! Quick! Let me see it!" Xu Chengyuan's eyes suddenly lit up, and he kept looking behind Xihe, eager to try.

Xihe played tricks for a while and then handed the box over.

"Cousin, this box is..."

"Xiao Xi'er!"

Xihe's half-sentenced words got stuck in her throat, and her small body suddenly stiffened.

Following the sound, I saw Xiao Mingxuan with a cold expression standing by a bush of flowers not far away.

For a moment, Xihe suspected that Xiao Mingxuan had installed some kind of positioning system on her, as it was always so accurate.

Whenever she meets outsiders, Xiao Mingxuan will definitely know.

"Little brother, are you done with your work?" The lackey Zhao Xihe came online with a flattering smile on his face.

Xiao Mingxuan pursed his lips and stood there without saying a word.

Under the peach trees, the flowers are charming, the handsome men and beautiful women are smiling sweetly, and the wind seems to have become more sensible and blows by gently, for fear of blowing away this beautiful scene.

Only he stood far away outside the curtain, like an outsider.

This scene is extremely dazzling.

"Ninth Prince?" Xu Chengyuan was dumbfounded. He hadn't figured out the situation yet. He only felt the air around him freeze for a moment. "Is there anything wrong, His Highness the Ninth Prince?"

"What? Can't you come if you have nothing to do? Did Prince Xu buy this road?" Xiao Mingxuan said coldly. He was rarely so aggressive, and he didn't want to conflict with others. This was the first time.

Xu Chengyuan was not a fool, but he was not very smart either. Although he sensed Xiao Mingxuan's hostility towards him, he could not figure out the reason, so he could only foolishly respond, "That's not the case, but my sister and I have something to talk about now, and it may not be convenient for the Ninth Prince to be here."

"Oh? Inconvenient? What's inconvenient?" Although he was talking to Xu Chengyuan, Xiao Mingxuan's eyes never left Xihe from beginning to end.

The little girl laughed dryly twice and looked away unnaturally.

It’s over, the big bad wolf is going to eat people!
Xu Chengyuan didn't expect the other party to ask so many questions. He was embarrassed for a moment, "This..."

Xiao Mingxuan walked forward, and the petals fluttered in the wind and fell on his shoulders, soon falling to the ground and being crushed into the dust and mud.

He stared at the box with a sharp gaze, as if he could stare out a flower, and suddenly asked, "It looks like a gift."

Just a few words made Xihe shiver.

"Little brother, listen to me, this is..."

Before Xihe could finish her words, she was interrupted by Xu Chengyuan again.

"You're talking about this, this is what my sister just gave me." Xu Chengyuan was so proud that he couldn't let go of the box. He didn't notice that the person behind him had a dark face. A moment later, he continued to add fuel to the fire, "I heard that the first and second princes don't have it. There is only this one, and my sister gave it to me personally!"

"Only this one?" Xiao Mingxuan asked gritting his teeth.

Xu Chengyuan didn't notice at all and continued to show off, "Yes, it seems that I am very important in my sister's mind."

Xihe kept winking at Xu Chengyuan, but that guy seemed to be blind. He just held the box complacently and completely ignored Xihe's pleas.

The little girl sighed helplessly, and when she turned her head, she met Xiao Mingxuan's slightly narrowed eyes. She was frightened by the coldness in the other's eyes and couldn't help but take a step back.

Sure enough, the next second, Xiao Mingxuan's eyes were filled with frost.

Xiao Mingxuan took a deep breath, looked at the box, and said slowly: "I wonder... what good things are inside. Would you like to open it and take a look, Master Xu?"

Xu Chengyuan hesitated for a moment, then agreed, "Okay, let's take a look!"

He opened the lock of the box with confidence. As soon as the lid was opened, a touch of red suddenly caught his eye. The shape of a clown bounced up and headed straight towards Xu Chengyuan's face.

"Ah! What the hell is this!" Xu Chengyuan was startled and subconsciously threw the box in his hand away.

Xiao Mingxuan acted quickly and pulled Xihe back a step.

The three people looked at the box not far away and fell into silence.

A red clown figure popped out of the box. It looked funny, as if it was laughing at them. Judging from the craftsmanship, it should be something from the Tianji Academy.

Xu Chengyuan's soul was floating around. He looked at Xihe with some lingering fear, and his voice was obviously trembling, "Sister, I didn't offend you, did I? You wouldn't give me this thing to scare me."

Xiao Mingxuan cast a questioning look at Xihe with some difficulty.

The gift he had been jealous of for half a day turned out to be a clown?
Being stared at by two people, Xihe looked at the clown with a complicated expression, and the desire to drag Zhao Siyuan out and beat him up reached its peak.

Didn’t you say it wasn’t scary?
What about the normal things?

Isn’t this cheating?
After a moment, he said helplessly, "If I say it wasn't me, would you believe me?"

Xu Chengyuan felt like she had lost all hope in life, and looked like a little resentful woman who had been let down. She said, "Do you think I believe it?"

Xihe: "..."

Fine.

He was invisibly blamed and he was the one who spoke too much.
