Chapter 2521: Playing Hard to Get?
Ye Tian said, “Ruirui, Xia Lu, Zhang Shan, and Ning Yuan.”
With that said, she glanced at Ye Yu. “Second Brother, why are you suddenly asking this?”
There was nothing unusual about Ye Yu’s cold expression as he said calmly, “I’m concerned about you.”
Ye Tian’s heart felt warm and she hummed with a bright smile.
Ye Yu was about to go upstairs when he turned back to look at Ye Tian. “Why didn’t you call your friend over?”
Ye Tian patted her head. “That’s true. We can let them come to the palace.”
Ye Yu said nothing more and went upstairs.
….
When Ning Yuan found out that Ye Tian had set the venue for the gathering at Crown Palace, she struggled and hesitated.
Would she bump into Ye Yu?
She asked Ye Tian politely. Ye Tian said that her family was not in the palace during the weekend and they could go over without any psychological burden.
Ning Yuan was going to Country X soon and would not be able to meet them for a long time. After knowing that Ye Yu would not be in the palace, her tensed nerves relaxed a little.
Soon, it was the weekend and Ning Yuan took a taxi to Crown Palace.
Coming here again, her mood was completely different from the last time.
Xia Lu and Zhang Shan also came over and the three of them met at the entrance of Crown Palace.
Ye Tian sent a car to pick them up.
Xia Lu looked at the scenery in Crown Palace and sighed. “I’m so happy to be able to stay here. I wonder who the Second Princess Consort will be in the future?”
Zhang Shan said, “Of course. It must be a top socialite or a princess from another country.”
“That’s true. Look at the Crown Prince’s Princess Consort. She’s the princess of the Bo family. The Second Princess Consort must have the same background.”
Xia Lu said, “That’s why I’m fantasizing about it in my head.”
Ning Yuan looked out of the window, a self-deprecating smile on her lips.
In the past, she even wanted to climb up the social ladder with the Second Prince. Who gave her the confidence?
….
When they arrived at the palace, Ye Tian brought them to the back garden.
An Rui had arrived and was admiring the flowers in the greenhouse.
They sat in the glass room drinking tea, chatting and admiring the flowers until Yi Fan came to call them for dinner.
There was a long marble table in the western restaurant. There were steaks, snacks, desserts, and soup. After they sat down, they found that there was an empty seat.
Yi Fan saw everyone’s doubts and explained, “His Highness is back. He will come and eat with you later.”
Xia Lu and Zhang Shan exclaimed when they heard this.
“Tiantian, your second brother is actually willing to eat with us. That’s great!”
Ye Tian smiled and said, “At home now, just treat him as my brother. Don’t treat him as the Second Prince, or there will be pressure!”
“Alright.”
After a while, the man appeared at the entrance of the restaurant.
He was wearing a white sweater and black casual pants. His hair was not combed neatly like usual and a few strands of hair fell on his forehead, making him look casual and lazy.
It was obvious that other than Ye Tian, no one else had seen such a casual side of him.
Apart from looking good in a suit, he could actually wear casual clothes so stylishly!
He was too handsome and stylish!
Xia Lu and Zhang Shan could not help but look smitten, but they did not dare to show it too obviously in front of Ye Yu.
There was a faint smile on Ning Yuan’s beautiful face. She was not smitten or obsequious, but there was a trace of alienation.
They greeted Ye Yu and Ye Yu nodded. “We’re all Tiantian’s friends. Just make yourselves at home.”
Ye Yu sat down opposite of Ning Yuan. She did not know if he had arranged it on purpose or not.
The meal started.
When Ye Yu ate with them, everyone was more or less nervous and reserved, not chatting and laughing like before.
Ye Tian broke the silence. “What have you been busy with recently?”
An Rui said, “I went to see Zhou Li’s family.”
Everyone was interested. “How is it?”
“His family is very good. They treat me like their daughter, but…”
“What is it?”
“I heard that he has a celebrity girlfriend. People come to see her from morning to night.”
An Rui could not help but laugh at the thought of that. “I feel like I’m a monkey in a zoo!”
Xia Lu said, “Hahaha, you’re much prettier than a monkey.”
The atmosphere at the dining table became more relaxed.
Ning Yuan had been a little distracted and could see the man opposite her when she looked up. She tried to look up as little as possible.
Later, the topic somehow fell on her and Xia Lu asked, “Ning Yuan, the other time you said that you were going to X Country for half a year. Is that true?”
Ning Yuan wiped the corner of her lips with a napkin and replied, “Really. We’re leaving next Wednesday.”
The moment Ning Yuan finished speaking, she felt a gaze that could not be ignored landing on her.
She did not turn back, only looking at Xia Lu beside her.
“Oh my god, I heard that Country X is still very poor and backward. You’ll definitely suffer there!”
Zhang Shan nodded. “Yes, why would your broadcasting station send you?”
“I applied myself.”
The gaze on her from the other side could not be ignored. Ning Yuan could not take it anymore and stood up from the chair. “I’m going to the washroom.”
After leaving the restaurant, she let out a long sigh of relief.
Entering the washroom, Ning Yuan stood in front of the sink and slowly washed her face.
After a while, she opened the door and prepared to go out.
But the next second, a tall figure suddenly barged in.
Ning Yuan was caught off guard and the tip of her nose almost hit the man’s chest.
Her long eyelashes fluttered and looking at the man approaching her, she subconsciously stepped back.
Her back was pressed against the sink very quickly.
Looking at the man’s cold and deep face and dark eyes, Ning Yuan frowned and her breathing tightened.
“Your Highness, if you want to go to the washroom, please let me out first!”
She was about to walk around him and leave when a strong force attacked her. Her slender wrist was grabbed and she was thrown onto the sink.
She knocked her back and it hurt a little. Ning Yuan’s beautiful face tensed up.
To be honest, she really could not understand him!
“Your Highness, what do you mean?”
If he hated her, why did he block her in the washroom?
Didn’t he think that this was very inappropriate?
“You’re going to Country X?” He asked in a deep and cold voice.
Ning Yuan nodded. “Yes.”
“Playing hard to get?”
Ning Yuan was stunned for a moment. She looked up and met with the man’s deep and teasing dark eyes. She seemed to understand something and the blood in her body surged up.
She was angry and embarrassed. “Your Highness, am I playing hard to get with you? When you said that you wanted to accept my interview and didn’t want to see me appear in front of you, I was already very careful not to appear. If you’re unhappy with me, you won’t see me for a long time. I think I’ve already done very well. Are you still unhappy?”
