Chapter 1010 - 002 Mutual Dislike_2
Xia Zhen rolled his eyes, "Brat, don’t think I came here on my own accord. If it weren’t for our parents’ orders, I wouldn’t have come to pick you up! Humph, tell me, were you thinking of running away again if I didn’t come? You’ve done plenty of passing by our door without entering, don’t think I don’t know."
Xia Zheng was not to be outdone; he raised an eyebrow and gave him a skeptical look, "Spare me! You make it sound so grand, but don’t think I don’t know. You just came because you heard I brought back Rice Flower Fragrance pastries, didn’t you? Didn’t you eat all the pastries I brought back last time? You still..."
"What, what! What are you talking about, I can’t hear you!" Xia Zhen didn’t let Xia Zheng finish; he already loudly interrupted him, even cupping his right hand to his ear pretending he heard nothing, frustrating Xia Zheng to the point of almost twitching his mouth.
Seeing the disdainful look between the Xia Zheng brothers, Lin Yuan couldn’t help but smirk.
Tian Hui seemed to have grown accustomed to the brothers’ antics long ago and didn’t take it to heart. Instead, she walked over to Lin Yuan with a smile, took her hand, and joyfully said, "You must be Yuanyuan, right? The princess hasn’t stopped talking about you since she came back. Indeed, just as the princess said, you are smart and beautiful, and you have an aura about you."
Tian Hui’s unabashed praise made Lin Yuan blush, and coupled with the sincere look in Tian Hui’s eyes, it was evident she genuinely liked Lin Yuan.
Lin Yuan shyly smiled, "The princess is too kind. Sister, you are the truly smart and beautiful one."
This was not just politeness from Lin Yuan; from what she had seen, Tian Hui was indeed the most beautiful and gentle woman she had ever met—although Su Qiuyu was also beautiful, she seemed rather insincere, unlike the genuine warmth of Tian Hui.
It seemed Tian Hui truly saw her as a future sister-in-law already.
Compared to the fine silk on Tian Hui, the clothing on Lin Yuan and her colleagues, though the best Zhuma Town had to offer, still carried a rural air. But Tian Hui didn’t care about these details; she warmly chatted and seeing Xiao Linshuang and the adorable Xiao Yongyan, her motherly love overflowed as she hugged them without letting go.
Lin Yuan, speechless, could only let Xiao Linshuang go with Tian Hui to her carriage.
