Chapter 206: Proposing Marriage, So Soon
Chatted with Qi Hui for a while.
People came back one after another.
More or less holding prey in hands.
The last ones to come back were Lou Wei and Song Wu.
But Shi Xiaoxiao looked at them with a look full of confusion.
Because neither of them caught any prey.
Song Wu came back angrily and sat down on the ground.
Shi Xiaoxiao asked in confusion: "Third cousin, what's wrong with you?"
What she wanted to ask was why you didn't have any prey.
But thinking that Song Wu might be unhappy, she didn't say it.
Her eyes fell on Lou Wei, her heart full of doubts.
Given Lou Wei's skills, he shouldn't have caught nothing.
Lou Wei didn’t think it was a big deal. If he didn’t catch anything, then he didn’t catch anything. There was nothing to be ashamed of.
A smile flashed across Ji Chen's eyes, but he quickly concealed it.
"It seems that Brother Lou Wei also makes mistakes sometimes."
Lou Wei looked at the half-smile in Ji Chen's eyes, and something flashed through his mind quickly.
His brows twitched, and he forced a smile: "Brother Ji Chen is lucky."
Song Wu said aggrievedly, "I don't know what's going on. Brother Lou and I didn't encounter any animals along the way. It's like we were driven away in advance. I'm so angry. Why is my luck so bad?"
When Xiaoxiao heard this, she glanced at someone out of the corner of her eye.
She suspected that Ji Chen had deliberately ordered people to drive away the prey from Lou Wei first.
But seeing his innocent look, Shi Xiaoxiao felt that she was overthinking.
Song Zhiwei's eyes flickered slightly, and he said calmly, "We were assassinated, but before we could make a move, they were dealt with by another group."
Song Wu exclaimed in surprise: "Second sister, are you guys okay?"
Song Zhiwei shook his head. "Those people showed up just in time. They basically dealt with us before we even had a chance to attack, and then they retreated."
Shi Xiaoxiao snorted coldly in her heart.
The Fourth Prince indeed arranged for someone to assassinate her, but he never expected that Yaya had already been caught.
And all the people he sent have been dealt with.
This time he will be pissed to death.
Ji Chen glanced at Shi Xiaoxiao and quietly reached out to pinch her wrist.
Shi Xiaoxiao's large and thick cloak blocked his small movements.
He drew circles on her palm and rubbed her fingers.
Shi Xiaoxiao couldn't help laughing.
How can this person be so naughty?
She glared at him and moved her hand aside.
The big hand followed closely behind, holding her hand tightly.
Shi Xiaoxiao sighed secretly in her heart, but still let him hold her hand tightly.
Lou Wei watched the interaction between the two and felt more and more depressed.
There was a trace of pain, helplessness and compromise in the dark eyes.
The sky gradually darkened.
The fire grew bigger and bigger, and a group of people sat around it.
The barbecue on the fire was sizzling with oil, emitting waves of mouth-watering aroma.
There was no calculation or intrigue among them, and everyone was chatting and laughing happily.
Unconsciously, the relationship between everyone seemed to have become closer.
We also understand each other better.
Shi Xiaoxiao glanced at Lou Keke from time to time, wanting to ask her how things were going, but she never found the chance.
After thinking about it, I decided to give up. After all, we had only just started dating, how could there be any progress?
Before I knew it, the sky gradually darkened and everything around me was pitch black.
Song Wu's worried voice rang out, "It's so late, should we go back?"
Everyone looked at the sky and saw that it was indeed getting late.
Shi Xiaoxiao glanced at Ji Chen and remembered that he had to go to court tomorrow and had a lot of things to do every day.
I don’t know how much time he has to squeeze out to accompany her.
I couldn't help but say: "Go back, it's not safe to spend the night here."
As soon as Shi Xiaoxiao said this, everyone felt it was time to go back.
After exchanging a few pleasantries, they began to pack up and prepare to leave.
Xiaoyuan walked over to Xiaoxiao and said, "Miss, what should we do with the remaining prey?"
Except for Lou Wei and Song Wu, everyone else brought back a lot of prey.
Even though a lot of it was roasted, there was still a lot of prey left.
Shi Xiaoxiao said, "Give it to the villagers down the mountain."
……
Return to the Prime Minister's Mansion.
Ji Chen looked at Shi Xiaoxiao reluctantly and said tenderly, "Xiaoxiao, wait for me. I will find a chance to propose marriage."
The smile on Shi Xiaoxiao's face fell.
So fast?
"That's not good. We just..."
"But I can't wait to marry you home. My Xiaoxiao is so good, what if someone else gets there first?"
Shi Xiaoxiao chuckled: "How is that possible? Since I have chosen you, I will only love you and be good to you. Besides, you haven't got my father's approval yet."
Shi Xiaoxiao's words made Ji Chen feel warm in his heart, and he held her hand tightly, not wanting to let go.
"As long as you are willing, your father is no small matter, I will naturally find a way."
Shi Xiaoxiao looked at him in surprise and couldn't help but ask, "What do you want to do?"
Ji Chen scratched her nose and said, "The hermit has his own clever plan."
Shi Xiaoxiao snorted, "Pretending!"
Ji Chen touched her head reluctantly.
"Go back, don't catch a cold, and wait for my good news."
After saying that, he had to turn around and leave reluctantly.
Watched Ji Chen's carriage leave.
Shi Xiaoxiao turned around and saw Shi Yu'an standing aside, looking at her quietly.
Shi Xiaoxiao grinned and said, "Brother, let's go in. It's really cold."
Shi Yu'an looked at Shi Xiaoxiao, hesitant to speak. After a long pause, he finally spoke: "Xiaoxiao, what is your relationship with His Royal Highness Prince Xiao?"
Although he is not Shi Xiaoxiao's biological brother, he treats Shi Xiaoxiao as his own sister.
Seeing Ji Chen and Shi Xiaoxiao getting along today, he always felt that there was something unusual between them.
Shi Xiaoxiao didn't want to hide her relationship with Ji Chen.
She shrugged: "You saw it all."
Shi Yu'an paused and said in disbelief: "Xiaoxiao, you really had a secret exchange with His Royal Highness Prince Xiao!"
Shi Xiaoxiao looked at Shi Yu'an with a half-smile and asked seriously, "Brother, what do you think is wrong with Prince Xiao?"
"Prince Xiao..."
Shi Yu'an thought hard and found that he could not find anything wrong with King Xiao.
But something didn’t feel right.
But I can't tell.
Shi Xiaoxiao chuckled: "Look, you agree that he is a very good person, right? Then why not be with him? We love each other and cherish each other. Isn't it much better than a marriage for profit?"
Shi Yu'an was stunned for a moment, and always felt that what Shi Xiaoxiao said made sense.
He couldn't think of stopping Shi Xiaoxiao's words, so he could only nod and say, "You're right, as long as he treats you sincerely."
"Of course he will treat me sincerely. I believe he will never let me down. Besides, if he dares to let me down, I will not let him go. Don't worry, big brother. I won't suffer any loss."
A bright smile flashed in her eyes.
Shi Yu'an didn't know what to say after seeing this.
