Chapter 90 Just us
Ye Jinshu called out in a very soft voice.

Compared to the volume of normal conversation, this sounded more like a whisper that even he couldn't believe.

But Ji Yanqing seemed to have heard it, and just after Ye Jinshu opened his mouth, he suddenly strode towards where the two were.

Xiao Cui saw that Ye Jinshu called her but didn't say anything, and suddenly started staring at one place, and looked in the direction Ye Jinshu was looking.

Wherever her eyes went, Xiao Cui saw a familiar person.

Ji Yanqing was walking quickly towards Ye Jinshu. Halfway through, he seemed to remember something. He suddenly slowed down his pace, adjusted to a normal walking posture, and pretended to be calm and composed.

But the three people present knew that this was just an attempt to cover up the truth.

Ye Jinshu was amused by Ji Yanqing's self-deception.

Sure enough, she loves playing with Ji Yanqing!

Ye Jinshu didn't wait for Ji Yanqing to come to her, she walked towards Ji Yanqing, the two walked towards each other and soon bumped into each other.

Ji Yanqing hadn't seen Ye Jinshu for some time.

Before, he could go to the palace to see Ye Jinshu every day, but now he suddenly can't see him anymore. Ji Yanqing is actually not used to it.

At first, he deliberately stayed around Ye Jinshu to make Ye Jinshu get used to his presence.

But while Ye Jinshu got used to him, he also got used to Ye Jinshu.

Ji Yanqing used to feel that nothing in the world could move him. He had always been detached from the mundane world, analyzing everything that appeared before his eyes with a calm and clear gaze.

But after meeting Ye Jinshu, everything changed.

Whether it was the fact that his ability to judge truth from falsehood was useless in front of Ye Jinshu, or the fact that his thoughts were now affected by Ye Jinshu's every move, it was a new experience for Ji Yanqing.

In the past, he would never have thought that he would stay in the same place for a long time just to wait for someone.

The moment his eyes met Ye Jinshu's, Ji Yanqing had a lot to say, but due to his current commoner status, he could not say many things.

At the moment when Ji Yanqing hesitated, Ye Jinshu had already taken the initiative: "Ji Yanqing! Have you been lazy outside the palace these days!"

Ji Yanqing was stunned for a moment, and asked softly, "Why do you say that, Princess?"

"You haven't submitted your manuscript to the palace for a long time! Do you know how I've been getting along these days without seeing the storybooks?"

Although Ji Yanqing had not had any expectations for Ye Jinshu's words, but now that he heard with his own ears that the script had a higher priority than him, Ji Yanqing still felt a little uncomfortable in his heart.

When will he be remembered by the princess as a man?

Ji Yanqing originally thought that he could endure and take things step by step, but now that he saw Ye Jinshu again, he found that he could not wait any longer.

He wanted to get an answer from Ye Jinshu before leaving Chen Kingdom.

"Princess..." Ji Yanqing had just opened his mouth to call out when Ye Jinshu covered his mouth.

Ye Jinshu lowered his voice and scolded: "Didn't you see what I was wearing? Don't call me Princess outside. Just call me by my name."

Ye Jinshu had not yet realized that he had never told Ji Yanqing his name.

Ji Yanqing did not argue. He just felt the warmth coming from Ye Jinshu's palm and nodded obediently.

After Ye Jinshu let go of his hand, Ji Yanqing called out naturally, "Jinshu."

Perhaps it was because Ji Yanqing called out too naturally that Xiao Cui was stunned for two moments before she reacted.

She quickly stood in front of Ye Jingshu and shouted at Ji Yanqing, "How dare you, Ji Yanqing!"

Ye Jinshu: ...

Ye Jinshu tugged at Xiao Cui and advised, "Cui'er, forget it. We are outside the palace now. Just be casual today."

Ji Yanqing got Ye Jinshu's approval and deliberately said to Xiao Cui: "Look, Jinshu said so."

Xiao Cui was angry again.

Ye Jinshu sighed. He couldn't bear to watch Xiao Cui being bullied, so he said to Ji Yanqing, "Don't call me that. You should call me Miss today." Xiao Cui's eyes lit up: "Princess... Miss is wise!"

Ji Yanqing squinted his eyes and looked at Xiao Cui. For the Nth time, he felt that Xiao Cui was an eyesore.

If he wanted to take the next step with Ye Jinshu today, the first step he had to take was to get Xiao Cui away.

"In fact, Yan Qing has already finished writing the story these days. Miss, would you like to go with me to take a look?"

"Yes." Ye Jinshu answered without hesitation.

Seeing that she had taken the bait, Ji Yanqing continued, "On the way back, we will pass by a street where the things are pretty good. If the lady wants, Yanqing can take her around."

Ye Jinshu had no obsession with buying things, so he just nodded without much interest: "Let's talk about it later."

Upon hearing this, Ji Yanqing did not say anything else, but his slightly lowered eyes showed that he was not as obedient as he appeared to be.

Ji Yanqing led the way, and as they walked, Xiao Cui found that this road was different from the one she had taken when she went to find Ji Yanqing before.

"Ji Yanqing, where are you taking the young lady?"

Ji Yanqing turned around with an innocent look on his face: "I just took the princess to get the manuscript."

"Isn't your residence over there?" Xiao Cui asked, pointing in the direction completely opposite to the direction they were heading now.

"To be honest, I have several houses at home."

Ji Yanqing answered with a smile, and Xiao Cui broke down her defense silently.

I thought Ji Yanqing was just a poor storyteller, but I didn't expect that he was actually a rich kid.

If he had not had any improper thoughts about the princess, he would have lived the rest of his life in wealth and luxury.

It’s a pity that it’s not possible now.

Thinking that Ji Yanqing was probably going to die soon, Xiao Cui was too lazy to argue with Ji Yanqing in such a place, and just urged: "Take the lead, you are the one who talks too much."

"It was clearly Aunt Cui who asked the question, why are you blaming me now?"

Ji Yanqing's expression was so helpless that Ye Jinshu just found it funny.

She didn't realize that Xiao Cui and Ji Yanqing actually breathed a sigh of relief after she softened her brows.

After walking for a while, they arrived at the most prosperous area at the foot of the imperial city.

"Ji Yanqing, don't tell me you live here."

Those who live in this area are basically high-ranking officials and dignitaries. Even the lowest-grade mansion belongs to officials of the fourth rank or above.

If Ji Yanqing said that he lived here, then Xiao Cui would have reason to suspect that Ji Yanqing was not a commoner.

But Ji Yanqing just shook his head and said to Xiao Cui: "It's just that the things sold in the shops in this area are better, so I wanted to bring Miss to have a look."

Ji Yanqing pointed to a shop selling cosmetics while speaking, "Many noble ladies like that shop. Although it is expensive, the quality is first-rate. Yanqing doesn't know much about cosmetics, Aunt Cui, can you see if there is anything that the young ladies can use?"

"What's the use of seeing it? Are you here to pay for it?
"Yes."

Xiao Cui was just choking out of habit, but after hearing what Ji Yanqing said, she became less polite.

"Miss……"

Ye Jinshu nodded: "Let's go and take a look."

There were a lot of people shopping in the store. The three of them originally entered the store together, but were quickly separated by the crowd.

Ji Yanqing took the opportunity to pull Ye Jinshu's sleeve, lowered his head close to Ye Jinshu's ear, and asked softly: "I want to take Miss to a place."

"there's only us."

"May I"

　I feel like I'm writing something as low-quality as industrial saccharin. When will the love affair between these two people end? Can't they just talk and write it themselves while I'm at work?
