Xie Xingyun poured himself a cup of tea. “If you meet a girl you really like in the future, you won’t say such things.”
Gu Yu did not think much of it. “I won’t be so sad over a girl. It’s better to be alone.”
Perhaps it was because the atmosphere was a little cold, or perhaps it was because the liveliness downstairs was in stark contrast to the loneliness upstairs, Gu Yu took the initiative to change the topic. “Isn’t the Second Prince of Daqing coming soon? Logically speaking, you should be too busy to get out now. Why are you here?”
Gu Yu lived in the palace to begin with. The news that the Emperor was going to welcome the envoy of Daqing had spread throughout the capital. Many princes and princesses were discussing this matter. As the Empress’ physician, he often visited the harem and had also heard a lot of news.
Hence, Xie Xingyun was not surprised and did not hide it from him. “I’m on a bath break. I came out to buy chestnut cakes.”
Great, it was back to square one again.
Gu Yu raised his eyebrows. “The ones you gave Bai Xianyu just now?”
“Yeah.”

After saying that, he patted Xie Xingyun’s shoulder. “You can definitely do it.”
“She doesn’t lack food and clothes. Everything she likes is in her storeroom.” Xie Xingyun waved his hand away.
She did not lack anything.
The only special thing he could give her was his love.
However, she did not lack love.
There were so many people who loved her. If she did not love him, his love would not be worth anything.
It was like encountering the branches that had snapped in the spring rain and scattered on the ground when one was walking on the road. Taking a look at them felt like a waste of time.
Weren’t his attempts to please her superfluous?
The gloominess in Xie Xingyun’s eyes deepened. He really wanted to trap her by his side without caring about anything. He had ten thousand ways.
However, when he thought of the coldness and hatred in her eyes, this thought instantly dissipated.
Bai Xianyu watched as Ji Shuang took a bite of the chestnut cake and suddenly called the waiter over.
The waiter carried a towel on his shoulder. “Miss, what can I do for you?”
“These pastries are not bad. Give me a few more plates to take away.”
The waiter was shocked. Then, he was in a dilemma. “Miss, our chef has something on. He might…”
Bai Xianyu already had an answer. “I understand. Forget it.”
The waiter panicked when he saw her expression. He wanted to say something, but in the end, he rubbed his head and left.
Ji Shuang’s voice was indistinct as she asked, “Are you not full yet? There’s still a lot left. I’m not eating anymore. 1’11 leave the rest for you.”
Bai Xianyu looked at the fragrant chestnut cake with a complicated expression. “No.”
Ji Shuang wanted to ask more, but Bai Xianyu had already stood up. “Let’s go. It’s a little stuffy here. Let’s go out for a walk.”
“Okay.” Ji Shuang did not take it seriously and asked with a smile, “Should we let someone take these away?”
“I don’t want them.”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmJi Shuang was puzzled. “Don’t you like this very much?”
This time, Bai Xianyu seemed to be looking at a location, but she quickly looked away as if her gaze had never stopped there.
She changed her words, “I don’t need them anymore.”
Xie Xingyun resisted the urge to look at her, but when he saw the young girl’s slender and delicate figure walking down the stairs from the corner of his eye, his gaze still passed over Gu Yu’s head.
Xie Xingyun only retracted his gaze when he could no longer see her back view.
At this moment, the waiter appeared outside the curtain. He bowed to Xiao Zheng uneasily and said in a panic and hesitation,
“Young Marquis, just now, you asked me to send chestnut cakes to that girl in white, but after a while, she asked for another plate. But earlier, you had asked me to send everything to them, so 1 didn’t agree for a moment… This might have made that girl angry, but I didn’t deliberately make her leave in anger. Please be magnanimous, Young Marquis…”
She was so angry that she did not even want the original ones. There was still a large plate of leftovers.
He had seen this guest when he showed up just now. He did not expect him to be such a noble person!
After realizing that the girl had left, he did not dare to be negligent at all and hurriedly rushed over to apologize.
Xie Xingyun was stunned, but there was no anger in his eyes. Instead, it was a little bright. “She said she still wants to eat?”
“Yes.”
Xie Xingyun’s lips curled up slightly as he twirled the brocade pouch.
Gu Yu could not help but laugh. “You’re happy just like that? She doesn’t even know it’s you.. I wonder why you’re so happy?”
