At the entrance of Jingzhao Mansion, Hua Yanxi sent someone in to inform her and then stood waiting at the door.
Not long after, Ye Yibai ran out at a trot.
"Yan Yan, you've come to see me!" After saying that, he hugged the woman at the door and spun around several times, his laughter flying wildly.
Everyone in the Jingzhao Mansion knew that the fifth prince was a fool, so they were not surprised at all by his actions.
Hua Yanxi accepted this person's exaggerated acting skills without expression, and after landing she said calmly: "Well, I was passing by and came to see you."
"Just in time, I haven't had lunch yet, let's go home."
"You haven't placed your order yet," Hua Yanxi reminded.
"It doesn't matter. It's just sorting out the files anyway. It's not enough if you have me, but I can't be with you without me."
"You will be late if you come back here."
"Then just leave early. I won't work today and I'll come back tomorrow." Ye Yibai looked confident.
Before Hua Yanxi could say anything, Ye Yibai hugged Hua Yanxi and ran away, as if someone was chasing him.
Hua Yanxi shouted several times and when he pretended not to hear, she stretched out her hand and pinched him twice, then simply buried her face in his arms to avoid embarrassment.
After the food was served, Ye Yibai found that Hua Yanxi had not moved her chopsticks for a long time.
"Yanyan, what's wrong with you? Did someone make you unhappy?"
"Yan Yan, tell me who that person is, and I will help you deal with him."
"What are you going to do?" Hua Yanxi stared at him with a faint look.
Ye Yibai raised his hand and made a clenching gesture with a serious expression: "Kill him."
Hua Yanxi said "hmm": "Then have you decided whether to hang yourself with noodles or hit the wall with tofu?"
"Huh? I'm the one who offended you?" Ye Yibai pointed at himself: "How could I make you angry?"
Hua Yanxi laughed angrily: "Don't you have one?"
"No way." Ye Yibai spoke righteously.
Hua Yanxi gritted her teeth and helped him regain his memory: "Who did you meet when you brought me back just now?"
Ye Yibai touched his chin and thought: "Oh, they are all neighbors. We occasionally need to check the situation when we are sorting out the files. We met during the investigation."
"What did you say when they greeted you?" Hua Yanxi clenched her chopsticks tightly, her eyes rarely filled with anger.
Ye Yibai still didn't understand what made Hua Yanxi angry, so he followed her words and answered: "They asked me why I got off duty so early, and I said I left early."
"Then what?"
"Ask me where to go after leaving early, I said go home."
"Then what?"
"When you asked me what I was doing when I got home, I said I would accompany my wife."
"continue."
"Ask me who I am holding in my arms, and I say my wife."
"What else?"
"Ask me what's wrong with my wife?"
"I said my wife is shy and embarrassed to meet people."
"Finally, when someone asked you why your wife was in your arms, what did you say?"
Ye Yibai said honestly: "I said my wife missed me and came to pick me up."
After answering, Ye Yibai was still confused: "What's wrong with these questions? I didn't tell lies."
"Do you know what those people were discussing after you left?" Hua Yanxi threw away her chopsticks, grabbed Ye Yibai's lapel and lifted it up vigorously: "They said that the fifth prince's concubine was too clingy. It was so late at noon.
Just run and call the person home, and soon there will be a young prince!"
Ye Yibai swallowed: "But, but..." What does it have to do with him? Let alone the young prince, he has not even become the groom's official.
Originally he wanted to make a quibble, but seeing Hua Yanxi's annoyed look, Ye Yibai held Hua Yanxi's hand with both hands and lowered his head: "Yanyan, I was wrong."
