470 Little Feet Held by the Big Wolf
Gu Nuo’er’s big eyes sparkled. She smiled sweetly and touched her chubby face in embarrassment.
“I’m sorry, Elder Brother Siming. I was too happy to see Elder Sister Yinxiang and accidentally stepped into one!”
Just now, when she got off the carriage, she saw Xie Yinxiang standing at the entrance of the inn as if she was planning to go out.
The little thing was so excited that she skipped her way over. Unexpectedly, she stepped into a puddle.
Both her small shoes became wet.
Ye Siming held her fair feet in his hands. They were cold and smooth to the touch.
He could not help but frown.
In winter, wouldn’t Gu Nuo’er’s feet be even colder?
Jiang Xiaoran’s question came from outside the door—
“Siming, are you done? You’re just changing the little princess’s shoes and socks. Why can’t we go in?”
Ye Siming glanced over coldly from the corner of his eyes and said loudly, “Wait.”
He remembered that there was a rule in this mortal world that ladies’ feet could not be seen by outsiders unless they wanted to marry her.
Outside the door, Jiang Xiaoran heard Ye Siming’s cold voice and sighed helplessly.
How was he like the little princess’s guard? He was almost as good as her little husband!
Xie Yinxiang did not care. She looked up at Jiang Xiaoran with her beautiful eyes.
After hesitating for a while, Xie Yinxiang still said, “Young Marquis Jiang, I was just thinking of going out and buying a roast duck for you to eat.
“After all, I have to thank you for taking care of me. I wish to express my thanks to you properly. Since the two of them are busy, shall we go and buy the roast duck together before coming back? What do you think?”
Jiang Xiaoran was stunned.
So she wanted to go out just now to buy a roast duck?
Puzzled, he asked, “Do you have money?”
Xie Yinxiang took out something from her sleeve and shook it.
She smiled innocently. “I can pawn this hairpin. It’s not very valuable, but it’s enough to buy a roast duck. Nuo’er likes it too. When we come back, we’ll bring her a sugar cake too.”
Jiang Xiaoran raised his eyebrows, finding it novel.
“Young Miss Xie, you’re quite interesting. The hairpin in your hand is actually an all-purpose item? It can protect you and also be pawned for money when you’re low on money.”
Xie Yinxiang pursed her lips and lowered her head, feeling a little embarrassed.
“People have to learn to be flexible,” she defended herself.
Jiang Xiaoran said in high spirits, “Forget it. Since you’re planning on treating me, I appreciate your kindness. However, how can a lady’s hair not have a hairpin? Wouldn’t it affect her beauty?”
With that, he took the hairpin from Xie Yinxiang’s hand and inserted it back into her hair.
Xie Yinxiang was stunned.
Jiang Xiaoran patted his chest. “I think Siming and the princess will need to take a while more. Let’s go. I’ll bring you to buy a roast duck. However, in return, Miss Xie will have to hold an umbrella for me later.”
Xie Yinxiang paused for a moment before smiling lightly and nodding in agreement.
The two of them informed Gu Nuo’er and Ye Siming through the door before leaving together.
Not long after they left, Xie Xingli’s two carriages stopped aggressively in front of Xiangsizhu.
Xie Xingli got off the carriage with his servants and they swarmed into the inn.
At this moment, Gu Nuo’er felt that her feet were warm from Ye Siming’s support.
She tried to pull them back, but Ye Siming held them very tightly.
His dark eyes looked up, and there was a hint of dominance in his handsome eyes.
“Don’t move.”
Gu Nuo’er pouted. “But Brother Siming, I also want to go buy roast duck with them.”
Ye Siming couldn’t help but laugh. “Why bother? Won’t you be able to eat it when they come back after buying it?”
