Xiao Mo Yi had just made a sarcastic remark when the carriage fell silent for a moment.
Soon after, Xiao Mo Yi was unceremoniously kicked out of the carriage by Xiao Yao, who angrily shouted from inside, "How dare you be ashamed of me! Don't come back again!"
This scene made it hard for everyone to suppress their laughter. Yun Yue and Yun Bi, who were in the back of the carriage with some belongings, heard the commotion and lifted the curtain to take a look. Just then, Zhao Hezhong arrived with some people and immediately said, "Ladies, the prince wants you to hurry and attend to him; Xiao Yao is quite upset right now!"
Since they were not officially married yet, the titles used could not be too casual, but their attitudes needed to change.
Yun Yue and Yun Bi were personal maids brought to the capital by Xiao Yao, and they would inevitably become her trusted attendants in the future, so it was important for them to get along well.
Upon hearing Zhao Hezhong's words, the two jumped down from the carriage. "Thank you, Eunuch. We will go right away." They bowed slightly and hurried towards Xiao Yao's carriage.
Seeing this scene, He Yu couldn't help but feel helpless. Xiao Mo Yi lamented to He Yu, "Prince, I really did nothing wrong. She just kicked me out!"
"Yao Yao wouldn't kick someone out for no reason; it must be your fault," He Yu replied leisurely, showing no respect for his wife's cousin and unconditionally supporting his wife without hesitation. Xiao Mo Yi thought to himself that they were only a few steps away from Xiao Residence, yet their relationship had already reached this level?
No, it seemed like the prince was trying to please his own Daughter-in-law!
After being kicked out of the carriage, He Yu entered and asked, "What's wrong? Don't you want your Elder Brother to accompany you?"
"Hmph, he called me a village woman! I'm so embarrassed!" Xiao Yao replied indignantly.
"Why?" He Yu was also surprised; from any angle, his Daughter-in-law was a charming young lady with a good figure and great demeanor. "How could you be a village woman?"
"I looked around everywhere here; he acts like I've never seen the world before!" Xiao Yao grew more agitated. "Aren't these things ours? Am I wrong for wanting to see them?!"
"You're absolutely right; these are all our things, so you have done nothing wrong," He Yu said, taking pleasure in her words. He reached out to pull Xiao Yao into his embrace. She immediately pushed him away. "What are you doing?"
"Of course I'm embracing my own Daughter-in-law. Since everything in this carriage belongs to you, isn't it perfectly normal for us to be together?" He Yu raised an eyebrow with a smile and pulled her into his arms again. Just then, Yun Yue and Yun Bi lifted the curtain and stumbled upon this scene.
The two were instantly dumbfounded. Yun Bi, reacting much quicker than Yun Yue, soon regained her composure and blushed as she greeted them before dragging Yun Yue outside to follow the carriage.
Xiao Yao was also somewhat at a loss due to the situation. After Yun Yue and Yun Bi left, she finally came to her senses. She pushed He Yu away with a flushed face and adjusted her clothes. He Yu, having been pushed aside by Xiao Yao, was not angry at all. Instead, he squinted his eyes, looking quite content as he watched Xiao Yao with a satisfied expression.
Once Xiao Yao had tidied herself up, she picked up a book nearby and pretended to read.
Whether she was actually reading or not was evident under He Yu's observation; she hadn't even turned a page.
He Yu smiled and slowly got up, moving closer to wrap his arms around Xiao Yao loosely. "What's wrong? Are you angry?"
Feeling He Yu's warmth behind her, Xiao Yao couldn't help but stiffen slightly. Although He Yu had shown affectionate gestures like kissing and touching when they were at the Xiao Family's place, they were restrained due to the presence of elders. They had only dared to hug at the waist or hold hands.
Now that they had left the Xiao Family, Xiao Yao truly felt that she had to face this man alone.
Avoidance was ultimately not a good strategy; did she really want to run away for a lifetime? Xiao Yao bit her lip, feeling anxious inside.
After a moment of silence, she finally spoke, "I... I'm just not used to it."
Her voice was so soft that only He Yu, being close by, could hear her. He Yu smiled gently, "I understand. It's okay; we have plenty of time. We can take it slow; I can wait for you."
"But..."
"No buts..." He Yu extended his index finger and lightly pressed it against Xiao Yao's lips, his eyes filled with affectionate amusement. "Just don't make me wait too long."
He Yu's fingers were calloused and did not appear as delicate as Xiao Yao had imagined; when they brushed against her lips, there was a slight roughness to them.
Perhaps the sensation was too intense; Xiao Yao's face and neck turned as red as a cooked shrimp, almost as if steam were about to rise from her head. She bit her lip and nodded gently.
He Yu let out a long sigh of relief and hugged Xiao Yao, saying, "You have no idea how nervous I was just now."
"Nervous? Why?"
"Why wouldn't I be nervous? What if you suddenly rejected me? All my efforts would have been in vain," He Yu replied matter-of-factly.
"Why would it be a waste?" Xiao Yao said, confused. "I've already followed you to the capital. If I didn't want to, would you really plan to send me back?"
"..." He Yu paused for a moment, then slowly exhaled, his voice sounding somewhat hoarse as if it had been stifled. "If we've come this far and you still don't want to, then I can only respect your wishes."
Although what he said was not wrong, Xiao Yao frowned. "...Are you saying that I can still return it?!"
He Yu was taken aback by Xiao Yao's sudden remark, and then he burst into laughter in the carriage. Why hadn't he realized how amusing this was back at Xiao Residence?
"Hey! Don't laugh! I'm serious, okay!" Xiao Yao couldn't take it anymore and turned around to kick the laughing He Yu, who was doubled over.
However, unexpectedly, He Yu grabbed her foot. "Ah!" Xiao Yao exclaimed as she lost her balance and was pulled into He Yu's embrace.
Outside the carriage, the attendants heard Xiao Yao's surprised shout followed by the prince's low chuckle, indicating how intense the "battle" inside the carriage was! Everyone exchanged knowing glances and quietly moved a little further away from the carriage.
Inside the carriage, He Yu held Xiao Yao close and planted a kiss on her cheek. Then he lowered his voice near her ear, "Of course there won't be any returns. Once I decide on someone, it's for a lifetime!"
