The Prime Minister's Darling novel Chapter 1854

Chapter 1854: 921 Warmth at Midnight (Second Update)

Little Yiyi is a very determined baby. If she wants to cry for her daddy, she absolutely will cry until he comes.

Other kids would get tired from crying, but she is full of energy, so this doesn’t happen to her.

Princess Xinyang occasionally feels she spoils her too much, thinking it might be better to let her cry, and after a few times, she would understand that this trick doesn’t work.

But this kid is so stubborn, even when her voice goes hoarse from crying, she doesn’t stop.

Marquis Xuanping shows up at the study room door just in time, walking in with a superior air to demonstrate his position in the family.

"Is Yiyi crying for her daddy? Yiyi’s favorite person really is daddy, isn’t it?"

He asks mischievously.

Princess Xinyang glares at him, expressionless, as she hands their daughter to Shangguan Qing.

Shangguan Qing sighs, feeling for his geeky younger brother, who has had a tough time being stuck between their parents all these years.

The little one is crying hard, and he pouts, hurriedly passing her to her own father.

As soon as she’s in her daddy’s arms, she stops crying, but her little expression is full of grievance.

This makes Marquis Xuanping’s heart ache, and as he hugs his daughter, he disapprovingly glances at Princess Xinyang: "Qin Fengwan, you know..."

Princess Xinyang shoots a sharp look at him.

Marquis Xuanping seamlessly changes his wording: "How could you raise our daughter so well?"

The father admits defeat.

The siblings both turn their heads, unable to look.

...

Meanwhile, Gu Jiao officially left the mansion of Princess Xinyang, but in reality, she secretly circled back. With one hand, she vaulted into the courtyard, strolling around Xiao Hen’s room.

"Hmm, really not here..."

Princess Xinyang is really going all out to keep these engaged couples in line.

Gu Jiao pouted as she returned to the carriage.

Gu Xiaobao is probably not going to wake up tonight, likely sleeping until morning.

Gu Jiao pinched his little arm, which felt different from pinching Little Yiyi’s.

He was not as chubby as Yiyi.

The two got off the carriage.

Yu Yaya first carried Gu Xiaobao into the courtyard, and as Gu Jiao was about to step over the threshold, a slender, jade-like hand reached out from her side, gently clasping her wrist.

She turned to see Xiao Hen pressing a finger to his lips, gesturing to her.

She understood and said to Yu Yaya, "I’m going to buy something! Be right back!"

Yu Yaya uttered a puzzled "huh" and turned to look at Gu Jiao, but she was already gone from the doorway.

"Why didn’t she buy it on the way..." she muttered while holding the sleeping Gu Xiaobao and entering the house.

The Yao Family was making a wedding robe for little Jingkong, because once at Princess Xinyang’s place, he saw Xiao Hen’s wedding attire and decided that if the "bad brother-in-law" had it, so should he.

"Where’s Jiaojiao, didn’t she come back with you?" She put down the needle and thread in her hand and took her son over.

Yu Yaya said, "She came back, but just as we reached the door, she remembered she hadn’t bought something and went out again."

"I see." The Yao Family didn’t suspect anything, holding Xiaobao and returning to the house, "By the way, Yu Yaya, go get some hot water, I’ll give Xiaobao a bath."

"Got it, ma’am!"

Yu Yaya happily went to fetch the water.

On the other side, Gu Jiao, led by a certain increasingly cunning young marquis, arrived at the bustling Chang’an Avenue.

Tonight, there’s coincidentally a small lantern festival, and the street market is very lively.

Gu Jiao wore a veil, walking shoulder to shoulder with him in the unceasing crowd, feeling the unique night breeze of Zhan Country, as a sense of peace and tranquility washed over her heart.

"Being able to walk carefree on the avenue like this, it’s not easy at all," she said softly.

Xiao Hen’s brows and eyes were full of her, he smiled and said, "You’ve worked hard, my dear fiancée."

Gu Jiao raised her eyebrows and said, "Right back at you."

Xiao Hen let out a low laugh.

His eyebrows were picturesque, as if carved from jade or an immortal being.

He used to always be cold and indifferent, but at some point, as long as he was with her, he would unconsciously smile.

Their clasped hands were concealed under Xiao Hen’s wide robe sleeves.

Gu Jiao said, "Sometimes, I feel like I’ve known you for a long time."

Xiao Hen nodded, "It has been a long time, four years."

Gu Jiao thought for a moment, "Hmm... I guess."

Xiao Hen looked at her with a smile, "Of course it has been."

Gu Jiao said thoughtfully, "But the first time I saw you, I felt an unusual fondness for you."

Xiao Hen teased, "Because I look handsome?"

"Am I spouting nonsense? Your big brother is just being dishonest! Clearly, he didn’t catch the Phoenix bird, but he’s pretending he did!" 𝑓𝘳𝑒𝑒𝓌𝘦𝘣𝘯ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝑚
