There Is No Need For Formalities As We Are Of The Same Generation

"Huh?" Yuan You smacked herself on the head when realization dawned on her. She stuck her tongue out. "This is so dumb of me. Why didn't I think of that?"0

"It took you so long to realize that?" Hexin raised an eyebrow.

Yuan You pondered this before she was able to react. "Cousin Hexin, even you are bullying me…"

This tickled Hexin. She pulled on Yuan You's hand and quickly left the courtyard.

After they had gone a distance, Yuan You could not help saying, "Cousin Hexin, did you see how gentle His Majesty was smiling?"

"I did." Hexin nodded. A thought crossed her mind and she turned to glance at Yuan You. "What's wrong? Are you feeling unhappy about it?"

Yuan You was taken aback. "Why would I feel unhappy about it?"

"Didn't you have a crush on His Majesty?" Hexin asked in a straightforward manner.

"Oh, is that what you were referring to?" Yuan You gave a wave of her hand. "I've let that go for quite a while. His Majesty likes Big Sis Yaoyao, while I just have a one-sided crush on him. He probably doesn't even know who I am. Why should I feel unhappy about it?"

Hexin rubbed her head and smiled as she said, "Good for you that you understand that." Looks like this girl was really not taking it to heart.

"There are many good men in this world and I'm sure I can find one who likes me, and I like him back," Yuan You said confidently.

"Hoho, Hean would cry his eyes out." Hexin teased.

Yuan You went blank. "Why would you mention Hean for no good reason?"

"Didn't you say you wanted to be my sister-in-law previously? That's quick of you to forget about Hean," Hexin said teasingly.

This reminded Yuan You of what she had said before and she stamped her feet, saying in frustration, "I was just joking. Can you let it go?"

"Alright, alright. I'll keep my mouth shut." Hexin burst out laughing.

It was at this moment when the supervisor of the holiday home hurriedly led a group of people in. Among those who came in with him was the housekeeper of Prince Rui Mansion.

Hexin was surprised.

The housekeeper quickened his steps when he saw her. He went up to her as he wiped his brow. "Lady, the Princess Consort instructed me to bring them here…"

Hexin did not hear what the housekeeper said because her attention was focused on a tall, foreboding young man.

The young man was about fifteen or sixteen. He was slender and had a towering figure. He wore black form-fitting clothes that enhanced his cold, intimidating characteristics, which struck even more fear in the heart of others. However, he had a handsome face and an elegant charm about him. His thin lips pressed slightly, which sent off a chilling signal for others to stay away.

When Yuan You suddenly saw so many people appear in the holiday home, especially when it was led by a young man who looked like he should not be trifled with, she was so frightened, she hid behind Hexin.

"Cousin Hexin?" She called out in fear.

It was probably Yuan You's soft voice that had pulled Hexin away from her thoughts.

By the time Hexin snapped out of it, the young man was already striding toward her and was less than two steps away from her.

"Lil Sis Hexin?" The young man sounded unsure.

When Hexin heard him, her previously wildly thumping heart suddenly cooled. She took a step forward and bowed with bended knees at the young man. "Greetings to you, Big Bro Long Yin."

The young raised his eyebrow slightly, looking a little surprised. "How did you know it was me?"

Hexin straightened up with a small smile on her lips. One could not tell if it was a teasing smile or did the smile mean something else. Her voice was calm as she said, "Big Bro Long Yin is noble and handsome, and no ordinary person can compare to you. There is no one else I know besides you that is this way."

Long Yin's sharp brows furrowed slightly. Why did those words seem strange when this little lady spoke them?

Somehow, he felt that she was not being totally sincere.

"There is no need for formalities as we are of the same generation." The look on his face softened slightly and his tone was light.
