“The old madam has good intentions. However, as a younger generation, 1 dare not agree to this matter on my own. Well have to wait for my grandmother to come back and make a decision.”

Xue Qi bowed to Old Madam Jiang and said with a smile.

Over time, Madam Jiang had grown quite fond of Xue Qi. Now, hearing his words, the smile in her eyes deepened even more.

Looking at Xue Qi, she replied with a smile, “In that case, 1’11 talk to your grandmother in person.”

“Yes.”

“When Old Madam Xue comes to the capital, send someone to Cheng Mansion. Ill join you to welcome her.”

At this moment, Xiao Nanye, sitting next to Jiang Peihuan, whispered something to her.

Though Xiao Nanye spoke softly, everyone in the hall could hear him.

Hearing the man’s words, Jian Peihuan’s eyes were a little surprised. She looked at the man and asked softly,” You’re going too?”

“Of course. The old madam, at her age, is coming all the way to the capital to attend our wedding. As a junior, it’s only right for me to visit her.”

He seemed quite candid. Hearing his words, both Madam Jiang and Xue Qi looked pleased.

Seeing this, Jiang Peihuan nodded, “Alright, I’ll have Ye Xiao notify you.”

“Old Madam, dinner is ready.”

Nanny Xu walked up to the old madam and said softly.

Upon hearing her voice, Old Madam Jiang looked to the group,” You can all have your meal here today.”

“Then I’ll have to trouble Old Madam.”

Although Xiao Nanye was always very gentle to Old Madam Jiang, she did not neglect him. Most of the dishes on the table were Xiao Nanye’s favorite dishes.

Once seated, Xiao Nan Ye said, “Thank you for the effort, Old Madam.”

“Your Highness, you’re treating me like an outsider. In just over a month, you’ll be marrying Huan Er. From then on, we’ll be family. There’s no need for such politeness.”

“Yes.”

Knowing the close relationship between Jiang Peihuan and Old Madam Jiang, Xiao Nanye always showed great respect to Old Madam Jiang.

Given her age, the old madam could easily become tired.

After dinner, Jiang Peihuan left with Xiao Nanye.

Xue Qi, on the other hand, went to Jiang Changbai’s courtyard.

“It’s getting late. Aren’t you going back to your mansion?”

After leaving the Chrysanthemum Hall, Xiao Nanye followed Jiang Peihuan.

She glanced at him and said softly.

Hearing her, he replied softly, “I’ll escort you to Plum Garden and then return to my mansion.”

“Okay.”

Hearing this, Jiang Peihuan nodded and said nothing more.

The two of them walked towards the plum garden together.

Ye Xiao and Han Feng trailed a few steps behind.

On their way, neither spoke a word. Yet, whether it was Xiao Nanye or Jiang Peihuan, their expressions were gentle, without any sign of discomfort.

Once they reached Plum Garden entrance, Jiang Peihuan paused and turned to Xiao Nanye, “It’s late, and you must be tired from the past few days. Rest well.”

“Alright.”

Upon hearing Jiang Peihuan’s words, the man responded softly.

Jiang Peihuan glanced at the man and turned to walk towards the courtyard. At that moment, her wrist was suddenly grasped by the man.

Subconsciously turning her head to look at him, before she could react, she felt a chill on her wrist.

Lowering her head, Jiang Peihuan subconsciously looked at her wrist.

On it was a black wooden bracelet, but that wasn’t the main point. The key was that the bracelet had a tooth on it.

Jiang Peihuan observed it for a long time before recognizing the tooth as resembling that of a wolf.

Lifting her gaze to the man beside her, Jiang Peihuan softly said, “Is this the tooth of the West Mountain Alpha Wolf?”

“Yes.”

Gently rotating the wooden bracelet on Jiang Peihuan’s wrist, Xiao Nanye responded in a low voice.

Jiang Peihuan’s skin was flawless and fair, making the black wooden bracelet on her wrist stand out even more, highlighting her fairness.

Looking down at Jiang Peihuan, Xiao Nanye softly said, “Wolf teeth ward off evil. Though this wood isn’t as valuable as gold or jade, it represents my feelings. I hope you like it.”

“Eldest Miss, let me tell you, this bracelet was handcrafted by the master himself. Among all the bracelets, only this one satisfied him. You…”

“Why do you talk so much?”

Han Feng, who was standing by and saw that Jiang Peihuan remained silent, worried that she didn’t like the bracelet and felt it was a waste of their master’s effort. He rushed forward to speak but was cut off by Xiao Nanye’s icy glare.

Meeting Xiao Nanye’s gaze, Han Feng silently closed his mouth.

Yet, Jiang Peihuan’s eyes revealed a hint of a smile. Looking at Han Feng, she chuckled and said, “Don’t worry, 1 understand his intentions.”

Hearing this, Han Feng grinned.

Then Jiang Peihuan turned to the man beside her and earnestly said, “1 really like this bracelet.”

As she spoke, her eyes were full of joy. Seeing her smile, the man couldn’t help but smile back, softly saying, “As long as you like it.”

“I’ll go in now.”

“Mhm.”

Seeing the man nod, Jiang Peihuan lifted her skirt to walk into the courtyard, but the man grasped her wrist once again.

Seeing his hand on her wrist, Jiang Peihuan chuckled, “Do you have something else for me?”

Somehow, Jiang Peihuan’s way of addressing Xiao Nanye had become very casual, and she no longer used formal titles.

Jiang Peihuan’s words were playful, but upon hearing them, Xiao Nanye nodded earnestly.

Under Jiang Peihuan’s gaze, Xiao Nanye handed her a ring.

Besides the previous ruby ring, this was the second ring Xiao Nanye gave her.

The ring had a pearl face, a soft pink pearl set on it, looking very gentle. But when Xiao Nanye pressed the pearl with his fingertip, a fine needle sprang out.

Though the needle was tiny, from Jiang Peihuan’s perspective, she could see its cold shimmer.

With the needle retracted, Xiao Nanye said, “1 noticed you no longer wear the previous ring, so I had this one made for you.”

As he spoke, he handed the ring to Jiang Peihuan.

Without saying anything, she took the ring and wore it in front of Xiao Nanye.

The pink pearl made her fingertip look even more luminous.

Looking at the ring on her finger and the bracelet on her wrist, Jiang Peihuan smiled at the man beside her, “Do you have anything else for me?”

“There’s nothing else.”

Seeing the man shake his head, the smile in Jiang Peihuan’s eyes became even warmer..
