Chapter 1994

for that."Alright, let's not dwell on this. Aren't you guys prepared to give gifts to Yan Yan Who wants to go first" Song Jiuzhou led the question.Li Yihan has always had the aura of an elder brother...Lu Jiuqing listened as Lin Zhiwei spoke of Mo Xiao, saying that he was not as cold and distant as people perceived him to be. In reality, he was very understanding and easy to get along with.

Lü Jiqing listened and suddenly spoke, “Alright, I understand. You go ahead and tell me, I’ll wait for you.”

Lin Zhiwei suddenly stopped talking, glanced at Lu Jiuqing, and nodded.

Lu Jiuqing handed Lin Zhiwei the wooden box he had carried all the way: "This... this is a New Year's gift, please give it to His Highness."

Lin Zhiwei: “Why didn't you just give it to yourself just now”

Lu Jiuqing said softly, "Forget it, you can pass it on for me."

Lin Zhiwei didn't say anything, took the wooden box and turned to leave.

As soon as Lin Zhiwei left, Lu Jiuqing suddenly lost his energy and turned to sit down on the chair.

Her heart was filled with bitterness.

It seems that's how Mo Xiao acts when she truly likes someone. Understanding, easy to get along with… She chuckled wryly, she had never seen this side of Mo Xiao before.

She hung her head and waited in place for a while. When Lin Zhiwei returned, her expression was somewhat strange, but she didn't say anything and followed Lu Jiuqing out of the Ninth Prince's Mansion.

Even while sitting in the carriage, Lu Jiuqing couldn't help but ask her softly, "Your Highness, do you like the gift"

"Your Highness received it, but didn't open it. I don't know either..."

"I understand."

This entire journey, Lu Jiuqing hasn't spoken a single word.

The carriage took them all the way back to Lu Jiuqing's residence. In the evening, Chen Yao prepared a lavish feast.

Lin Zhiwei sat down at the table, her gaze fixed on the empty seat and the arranged bowls and chopsticks in another direction. She blinked and asked in confusion, "Is there someone else"

When she lived in this courtyard, she knew it was Lu Jiuqing's private residence. There were only two masters living here: Lu Jiuqing and Chen Yan.

Yet, on this table now there are four chairs and four sets of bowls and chopsticks.

Lu Jiuqing said faintly, "Well, there are still some people. Just wait a little longer."

Lin Zhiwei was a little curious.

After a while, a middle-aged woman was seen walking over with the support of a maid. Her legs didn't seem to be in good condition, and she walked with a limp.

"There are no slaves here," Lu Jiuqing interrupted, getting up and personally helping the other person to a seat. He said softly, "Aunt Zhang, please sit down."

That woman smiled and nodded repeatedly, "Good, good, good."

Lin Zhiwei rarely saw Lu Jiuqing be so polite to anyone. This surprised her quite a bit.

Her gaze unconsciously fell on the aunt's body, but her brows slowly furrowed.Is it true that Ji Tiancheng persistently pursued Sasha, winning her over with his sincerity That's why Sasha gave up Si Yechen and ended up with Ji Tiancheng. Am I right"As the crowd saw victory in t...
