Xiao Hezhen was also flabbergasted.
Ye Qichi actually had the nerve to throw snowballs at his eldest brother like that.
After all, his brother is a prince.
Naturally, his status is extraordinary.
And at this very moment, his brother’s face was looking particularly unpleasant.
She was sweating bullets for Ye Qichi.
What if the eldest brother got angry and punished the sister-in-law?!
At that moment, she heard Ye Qichi still boasting proudly, yelling with a cheerful voice, "Xiao Jinxing, what are you standing there for? Come join us!"
Xiao Jinxing coldly stared at Ye Qichi.
This woman who dares the devil.
In front of so many people, does he have no regard for his own face?!
"Wu Xufan, come on over too." Ye Qichi didn’t give another glance to Xiao Jinxing, as if notifying him was enough, and then enthusiastically invited Wu Xufan.
Wu Xufan glanced at Xiao Jinxing and slowly asked, "Is that okay?"
Xiao Jinxing didn’t answer.
"If you don’t speak, I’ll take that as a yes," Wu Xufan said with a grin.
Before Xiao Jinxing even opened his mouth.
He leapt over from the corridor, heading into the snow-covered outdoor courtyard.
As soon as he entered.
Ye Qichi hit Wu Xufan with a snowball.
"You’re not playing fair, I haven’t even started..." Wu Xufan complained.
"All’s fair in war!" Ye Qichi didn’t care and picked up another snowball, throwing it at Wu Xufan.
Wu Xufan easily dodged it.
He was hit by another snowball.
He turned his head to look at Xiao Hezhen.
Xiao Hezhen, seeing Ye Qichi playing so spiritedly, didn’t think much and helped her throw snowballs at Wu Xufan.
Now she gazes back into Wu Xufan’s eyes...
Just as she felt a bit awkward.
Wu Xufan hit her with a snowball directly.
Xiao Hezhen was startled.
Wu Xufan picked up another snowball and aimed it at Ye Qichi.
It was as if it was just a game.
Xiao Hezhen also let down her guard in her heart.
The next moment, she laughed and joined in the fun.
Ye Qichi called out to Xiao Jinxing a couple more times, asking him to join the game.
Xiao Jinxing didn’t pay any attention.
Wu Xufan threw a few snowballs at Xiao Jinxing.
Unable to bear it any longer, Xiao Jinxing finally joined them. ɴᴇᴡ ɴᴏᴠᴇʟ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀʀᴇ ᴘᴜʙʟɪsʜᴇᴅ ᴏɴ novel•fire.net
A few adults, playing happier than little kids.
In this heavy snowy weather, it’s bitterly cold.
After playing a round, they were all drenched in sweat.
They played for a long time.
And they were all a bit worn out.
The group of them stood in the snow to catch their breath.
"Achoo!" Xiao Hezhen suddenly sneezed.
When they stopped, the sweat receded, and the chilly wind made her feel a little cold.
"Are you cold?" Wu Xufan asked her.
Xiao Hezhen glanced at Wu Xufan and slowly nodded her head, "I feel a bit chilly. I’m going to change my clothes; they’re all wet from the snow."
"Mhm," Wu Xufan nodded.
"Sister-in-law, do you want to go with me to change?" Xiao Hezhen invited.
Ye Qichi touched her own wet clothes, "Let’s go."
Then she left affectionately with Hezhen.
Now only Xiao Jinxing and Wu Xufan were left in the courtyard.
Watching their leaving figures, Wu Xufan turned back and asked Xiao Jinxing, "Since when did Ye Qichi and Xiao Hezhen become so close?"
Xiao Jinxing glanced at Wu Xufan, "You ask me, who do I ask?"
Wu Xufan rolled his eyes.
"Find me some clothes too, I’m completely soaked," Xiao Jinxing ordered, and then looked disdainfully at his own clothes.
Wu Xufan nodded, pretending to be humble, "Yes, Your Highness Prince Chen, this way, please."
Xiao Jinxing followed Wu Xufan.
While walking, he couldn’t help but tease, "I thought you wouldn’t enjoy these kinds of games, but just now, you seemed happier than anyone."
Xiao Jinxing indifferently replied, "I just didn’t want to dampen Ye Qichi’s spirits."
He added to himself in his heart.
Ye Qichi really wanted him to join her in the fun.
Otherwise, she wouldn’t have kept calling for him.
"When did you start caring so much about her feelings," Wu Xufan muttered.
Of course, Xiao Jinxing wouldn’t answer Wu Xufan’s question.
But in his heart, he also pondered.
When exactly did he start to care a little about Ye Qichi.
This woman seems to know no sorrow.
No matter what kind of huge problem she encountered, it seemed like she could always laugh it off.
Even when she was the most hurt.
When she was bitten by wolves at the hunting competition.
He really thought that Ye Qichi would completely break off with him.
Yet she just let it go with a laugh.
This kind of woman... Perhaps, she should be treated kindly.
Ye Qichi and Xiao Hezhen changed their clothes and chatted in the house before coming out.
By this time, the sun had already set.
