Rebirth of the Duke's Daughter and the Little Imperial Uncle

Chapter 74 Street Kiss (1)

Watching the two leave, He Yanxi asked in confusion, "When did you become so close to them?"

Qin Yaoyao thought for a moment, then replied with a smile, "I met Xuanxuan after the last poetry gathering. Sister Ying bumped into Xuanxuan while shopping, and we had a meal together and became friends. As for Ranran, it was today. After leaving the Empress's place, we chatted for a while and found we got along very well. Plus, Xuanxuan was at the banquet, so it was natural that we became friends. Oh, by the way, I didn't see my fourth brother earlier. Did he escort the princess?"

He Mingfeng nodded and explained, "Yes, Fifth Sister is still living in her Zhaoyang Palace. My brother wants her to get married out of the palace."

Qin Yaoyao continued, "Yes, I heard from my mother and fourth brother yesterday that the betrothal gifts are almost ready. After the Empress's birthday banquet, they will present the betrothal gifts to the princess. But I don't know if we will have to go to the palace then."

He Yanxi shook his head and said, "Fifth Sister will probably return to the Princess's residence ahead of time, since going to the palace is too troublesome."

Qin Yaoyao nodded in agreement, indicating her approval.

"Why would they suddenly want to go to the Duke's mansion to find you? Shouldn't they have invited you out to play?" He Yanxi asked with some confusion.

Qin Yaoyao chuckled and replied, "They didn't want to go out with me! They wanted to listen to the gossip together."

He Yanxi raised an eyebrow, a slight smile playing on his lips, and asked with a hint of mockery, "Gossip about Xiao Wu and Cheng Ying?"

Qin Yaoyao's eyes lit up, and she nodded excitedly, smiling as she said, "Smart! The relationship was tense before, but it's resolved so easily. They didn't see what happened, so naturally they want to hear the details. Not to mention them, I want to hear it too."

Looking at her adorable appearance, He Yanxi couldn't help but chuckle. He gently patted her head and teased, "Don't you already know? Why are you still so curious?"

Qin Yaoyao blinked her bright eyes, pouted her lips coquettishly, and said in a spoiled tone, "Well, I didn't see the whole thing! Didn't they go somewhere else later? Of course I want to know what happened to them after that. And what about Xuanxuan and Ranran's gossip? I want to hear it too."

He Yanxi shook his head helplessly, smiled indulgently, continued to stroke her hair, and said softly, "I think you're determined to be a matchmaker to the very end!"

Qin Yaoyao proudly raised her chin, smiling innocently like a child, and giggled, "That's right, I feel super happy to be able to help them find happiness."

He Yanxi held Qin Yaoyao's small hand tightly and asked softly, "You'll be of marriageable age in a month. Is there anything you want as a gift?" Qin Yaoyao smiled slightly and playfully asked back, "Will you give me anything I want?" He Yanxi nodded without hesitation. Qin Yaoyao's eyes darted around, staring at He Yanxi. Suddenly, she tiptoed closer to him and said with a smile, "Then if I want Brother Yanxi, will you give it to me?" He Yanxi was stunned by her words. However, when he saw the sly smile on Qin Yaoyao's face, he immediately realized that she was deliberately teasing him. So, he decided to punish this mischievous girl a little. Just as Qin Yaoyao was about to back down, He Yanxi quickly stretched out his arms, wrapped them around Qin Yaoyao's slender waist, and hugged her tightly in his arms. Qin Yaoyao was so surprised that she didn't know what to do and didn't have time to react. At this moment, He Yanxi had already lowered his head and accurately kissed her soft lips. Qin Yaoyao was shocked and hurriedly pushed him away.
