After severing all ties with family and friends, the villain's entire family was filled with re

Chapter 91 May I call you 'Wan'er'?

Xiao Jingyan smiled and picked up the kebab in front of her to eat. "Then you won't get a salary this month!"

Seeing Xiao Jingyan's confidence, Fei Peng immediately felt a pang of regret.

Although Xiao Jingyan looked confident, she was actually unsure of herself and kept looking in the direction of the Marquis's residence, hoping to see a familiar figure.

She must be very angry about what happened last night, and I heard that she even stabbed Qin Lang today.

If it weren't for the Ghost Festival, he wouldn't know how to ask her out. Although he had already sent the note, he wasn't sure if she would come.

The more Xiao Jingyan thought about it, the more nervous she became, and a scene from last night flashed through her mind.

Her burning body pressed against his chest, and when her soft lips met his, the world fell silent; he could only hear the beating of their hearts.

He was aroused by her desire and wanted to possess her, but he knew that if it really happened, her reputation would be ruined, so he restrained himself.

I'm still savoring last night's kiss; even chewing on meat skewers feels delicious.

"It's over, it's over!"

A gasp pulled Xiao Jingyan out of her reverie from the previous night.

He glanced at Fei Peng beside him and thought he was making a fuss over nothing.

"Your Highness is truly a prophet; Miss Qin really did come!"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Jingyan hurriedly looked towards the street and happened to see Qin Wan getting off the carriage.

Xiao Jingyan was overjoyed and teased Fei Peng, "You lost, your salary this month is mine!"

As he spoke, he got up and went downstairs to greet Qin Wan.

"Your Highness, please don't worry about my meager salary, Your Highness..."

Xiao Jingyan didn't hear what was said after that, because now, in his eyes, Qin Wan had seen her most vulnerable side since last night, and his desire to protect her had become even stronger.

"Miss Qin!" Xiao Jingyan quickly walked to Qin Wan's side.

"Fifth Prince!" Qin Wan bowed in greeting, somewhat surprised that he had come down to greet her personally.

"Miss Qin, this way please!"

The two were extremely respectful and polite, and compared to every other couple on the street, they seemed to be the most unfamiliar with each other.

Upon entering the private room of the teahouse, Fei Peng had already left, and the food on the table was neatly arranged and still warm.

“Miss Qin, um…” Xiao Jingyan felt an urge; he didn’t want to be so distant from Qin Wan, and he didn’t want to call her Miss Qin anymore.

Then he asked, "May I call you 'Wan'er'?"

Qin Wan was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "Okay!"

They have been betrothed and will soon be married, becoming a close couple. He can naturally call her 'Wan'er'.

Upon hearing the definite response, Xiao Jingyan's smile stretched almost to the back of his ears.

"Wan'er, you haven't had dinner yet, have you? This is a snack I bought from a street vendor. Don't let its appearance fool you, it tastes amazing, unlike the delicacies in restaurants. You should try it!"

Xiao Jingyan, like an excited child, laid everything out in front of Qin Wan.

The food box he sent earlier also contained a lot of snacks, but none of them were the same as these. He really put his heart into collecting so many kinds of snacks.

Qin Wan did not have dinner; instead, she picked up a fried dough stick and ate it.

During the Ghost Festival, Qin Wan enjoys visiting lantern fairs. There's another reason she likes the Ghost Festival: there are many more street food stalls than usual.

These are things she can't eat at home.

She had also prepared food for Xiao Jingyu, but he said, "The food from the street vendors isn't clean; it'll give me an upset stomach!"

Qin Wan ran three streets to prepare a variety of snacks, but Xiao Jingyu didn't eat a single bite, and with a single sentence, Qin Wan's efforts were rendered meaningless.

Since then, Qin Wan has stopped eating street food. For him, she was willing to change herself.

Despite her mad love for him, and her lack of restraint, he never even glanced at her.

She no longer wants anything to do with him, but he insists on bothering her and making her suffer.

The more Qin Wan thought about it, the more suffocated she felt. He felt the same way, and so did her family. She didn't know what she had done wrong, yet they treated her this way.

"Wan'er, these things are just to fill your stomach. I've reserved a private room at Guangdelou Restaurant. We'll go there to eat roast duck later. I heard there's opera at Guangdelou today, so we can eat and listen at the same time!"

Xiao Jingyan poured tea for Qin Wan, attending to her every need with the same attentiveness as her maid.

Chun Tao was originally there to serve Qin Wan, but now Xiao Jingyan is doing everything, and she has nothing to do with it.

Qin Wan did not refuse Xiao Jingyan's care.

She used to always take care of Xiao Jingyu, fearing that he might be thirsty, hungry, hot, or tired, like a little follower.

She prefers being taken care of by others now.

"Thank you, Fifth Prince. The lantern festival is near Guangde Tower, so let's walk there together!"

Xiao Jingyan was stunned for a moment. He thought Qin Wan would not want others to see her with him, so he prepared a carriage to cover his tracks.

Unexpectedly, Qin Wan took the initiative to suggest walking there.

Xiao Jingyan was naturally delighted and nodded repeatedly, saying, "Okay, you should try all of these. See which one you like best, and I'll buy them for you in the future!"

Qin Wan smiled and picked up one snack after another, tasting them carefully and giving her feedback.

Xiao Jingyan listened with great pleasure and took notes.

Watching this scene from the shadows, Fei Peng sighed deeply. He regretted making the bet with His Highness; it was a pity that his entire month's salary was gone.

There is some distance between the teahouse and Guangdelou, which happens to pass through the lantern festival site.

Many stalls have been set up along the street, selling lanterns, masks, love charms, etc.

All kinds are available.

Qin Wan made no attempt to hide the scrutinizing gazes from the crowd, nor did she shy away from her intimate interactions with Xiao Jingyan.

Although the Marquis's residence has suppressed what happened last night, their reach is not far enough to imprison Xiao Jingyu.

If information about last night were leaked from him...

Regardless of whether she is the victim or not, the Empress will assume that she deliberately seduced her, and she will be the one who suffers the consequences.

Therefore, she wanted to become closer to Xiao Jingyan so that everyone would know that she had accepted the arranged marriage and was deeply in love with him.

Furthermore, marrying Xiao Jingyan is currently the fastest way for her to escape the Marquis's mansion. Until she finds another way, she cannot abandon Xiao Jingyan, this great tree.

"Try it on, do you think it looks good?"

Qin Wan walked to a small stall, put a pale-faced scholar mask on Xiao Jingyan's face, looked him over, and shook her head.

"It doesn't look good on you, this doesn't suit you!"

Xiao Jingyan is tall and robust, resembling a military general. His dark skin doesn't suit the pale-faced scholar, so the title 'Bull King' would be more fitting for him!

Qin Wan picked it up and gestured again.

The laughter and chatter over here were all seen by the people upstairs.

Xiao Jingyu angrily downed the wine in her glass, her anger written all over her face.

Sitting opposite her, Shen Siyi followed Xiao Jingyu's gaze and happened to see Qin Wan and Xiao Jingyan behaving intimately.
