Chapter 1128, Princess Chun'an Misled by the Storybook 9_3
Yuan Yonghao wanted to express his feelings a bit more, but suddenly his ear twitched. He quickly swallowed his words and said a few proper things to Xiao Keyan. When he felt a chill on his back again, he had no choice but to excuse himself.
Only after Yuan Yonghao's figure was out of sight did Xiao Keyan turn back to the residence. As she turned, she found Xiao Yeyang standing there, watching her with his hands behind his back.
"Dad!"
Xiao Keyan sheepishly looked at Xiao Yeyang, "Dad, when did you get here?"
Xiao Yeyang snorted.
Indeed, daughters grow up and can't be kept!
She didn't even notice when her father arrived.
Xiao Keyan noticed Xiao Yeyang's expression was off and quickly walked up to him, holding his arm and smiling fawningly, "Dad, let me accompany you back to the main courtyard."
Xiao Yeyang huffed, "Do you really like that boy?"
Xiao Keyan lowered her head, not saying a word, her cheeks slightly flushed.
Seeing this, Xiao Yeyang felt a bit upset; his precious was being snatched away by that pesky Yuan family boy.
Inhaling and exhaling several times, Xiao Yeyang still couldn't cool down. He couldn't resist asking a loaded question, "Tell me, is your dad more important or that brat?"
Xiao Keyan's mouth twitched, and she said without hesitation, "Of course, Dad is more important."
Xiao Yeyang's expression looked somewhat better.
Xiao Keyan continued, "I was born to you and Mom, and you both raised me with utmost effort. If I were to forsake you for a guy, what kind of person would I be? Dad, you shouldn't even ask this question. You've raised your daughter yourself, don't you have even a bit of confidence?"
Xiao Yeyang's expression froze. Oh, she dared to counter him, "Dad's just worried you might get too blinded by love."
Xiao Keyan: "..."
Truly her biological father, who else would slander their own daughter this way? Making her sound like she's overly amorous.
Xiao Yeyang thought for a moment, looked at his daughter again, and tested her, "Today, Dad gave that Yuan family boy a small test. His martial arts are okay, but he can't take much beating. What do you think?"
Xiao Keyan kept a straight face, trying hard to conceal any emotion.
Small test?
Yuan Yonghao needed help walking, and this was a small test? If Dad went for a big test, Yuan Yonghao would probably be carried out of the residence.
Seeing Xiao Yeyang's assessing gaze, Xiao Keyan felt a bit pressured.
Dad's jealousy is acting up again. Previously, it was competing with them for Mom's affection. If Mom paid them a little more attention, Dad would start to drive them away. Now he's jealous of Yuan Yonghao.
He's my biological dad, can't dislike him.
Seeing Xiao Keyan silent, Xiao Yeyang hummed, "You feel bad, huh? Think Dad was wrong, too heavy-handed?"
Xiao Keyan quickly said, "No way! I know everything Dad does is for my good. Dad, go ahead and test him as you see fit."
Only then did Xiao Yeyang look satisfied, "What if the Yuan family boy doesn't pass Dad's test?"
Xiao Keyan said seriously, "If he doesn't pass, what can you do? Dad, I trust you. No one wants me to be happy more than you and Mom."
Xiao Yeyang smiled, "Well said. It's good you can distinguish closeness and distance."
Xiao Keyan saw her dad finally appeased and breathed a sigh of relief, "Dad, let me join you in finding Mom."
Xiao Yeyang nodded, and father and daughter happily went to the main courtyard.
Once in the main courtyard, Xiao Keyan spent some time with her parents and then left.
As soon as she left, Xiao Yeyang chuckled, turning to Daohua, "The older the daughter gets, the sharper she is. Now she even knows how to outwit me."
Daohua was curious, "What happened?"
Xiao Yeyang huffed, "That girl felt bad when she saw Yuan family boy injured." He then frowned in a disgruntled manner, "Saying if he doesn't pass, don't want? I know she likes that brat, how can I not let him pass?"
Daohua was a bit speechless, thinking it was nothing, "Restrain your jealousy a bit. It's rare that our daughter likes someone. If his character is fine and they're suitable, as parents, we should support them."
Xiao Yeyang: "I know. I'm just reluctant. The thought of my daughter marrying into another family, becoming theirs, makes my heart ache."
Daohua sighed, she wasn't willing either.
Luckily, their daughter is a princess. No matter whom she marries, they wouldn't dare bully her.
...
Yuan Family.
Miss Yuan saw Yuan Yonghao hobbling back and quickly ran to inform Madam Yuan.
Madam Yuan didn't react much upon hearing this, merely instructing the maid to apply medicine properly.
The Yuan family, being a family of martial generals, often had their men getting injured. Madam Yuan had a strong tolerance.
Miss Yuan: "Mother, don't you think Prince went overboard? Even if he wants to test my brother, there should be limits!"
Madam Yuan laughed, "What's overboard about it? The princess was raised dotingly by the Prince and Princess Consort. Now your brother is taking her away, they should be allowed to vent a little."
She laughed.
"Someday when you marry, just wait and see, your father will certainly be like that too."
Miss Yuan's face turned red, "Mother, you're teasing me. I'm not talking to you. I'm going to check on my brother." With that, she ran off.
Madam Yuan smiled with a shake of her head, focusing on the family's account books.
With Snow Shadow sent out, and Prince also 'guided' the son, the marriage between Yuan family and Prince Residence was very likely.
Marrying a princess requires a substantial betrothal gift, it needs to be prepared early.
