Xiao Jinxing watched Ye Qichi’s movents with cold detachnt.
It was obvious.
She was intentionally moving aside to allow him an unobstructed view of Bai Mowan.
Indeed, when he turned his head, he was indeed looking for Bai Mowan. Today, Bai Mowan was to act as bait to deal with the Crown Prince. Despite being fully prepared, he worried about potential slip-ups and wanted to keep an eye on Bai Mowan, wishing to remind her a bit more.
However, Ye Qichi’s deliberate action now made him feel sowhat uncomfortable.
Was Ye Qichi being too understanding?!
Because of her actions, his attention was drawn even more to Ye Qichi.
He wanted to discern sothing from her calm face.
But he could not see anything at all.
Instead, she looked content and curious about others at the event, as if she found this hunting festival more interesting.
Uninterested in him.
His face darkened.
Bai Mowan also felt Xiao Jinxing’s gaze drifting over here. Through the corner of her eye, she thought he was looking at her. She blushed and beca sowhat inattentive in her conversation. However, at the mont she deliberately looked away nonchalantly, what she saw was Xiao Jinxing’s gaze fixed on Ye Qichi.
Staring intently.
Seemingly, sowhat angry.
And when she felt her gaze drift over, Xiao Jinxing’s eyes swiftly moved to her.
Their eyes t.
Xiao Jinxing’s anger dissipated instantly.
Towards her.
Clearly milder.
She could clearly sense Xiao Jinxing’s kindness towards her, yet she also felt a certain suppression within her.
It always seed that Xiao Jinxing’s kindness towards her was consistent, always the sa, whereas his other emotions appeared to manifest only around Ye Qichi.
In her mory.
Xiao Jinxing never showed his feelings to anyone.
He kept his thoughts hidden, and no one could fathom his true intentions.
However, she couldn’t help wondering if it was her own misconception.
It always seed that Xiao Jinxing found it easy to lose control around Ye Qichi.
Bai Mowan withdrew her gaze, telling herself not to overthink.
Because Ye Qichi hadn’t died when she should have, there had always been a thorn in her side regarding Ye Qichi, and she shouldn’t let this irritation affect Xiao Jinxing. She shouldn’t attribute her thoughts about Ye Qichi to be the ultimate reason for her feelings towards Xiao Jinxing.
Xiao Jinxing noticed Bai Mowan shifting her gaze away.
So he shifted his gaze away too.
Xiao Hezhen was right next to Xiao Jinxing and naturally noticed the unusual emotional fluctuations between the third brother, Bai Mowan, and Ye Qichi.
She had always thought the third brother liked Bai Mowan.
But was it a misperception?!
Just a mont ago, Ye Qichi had kindly made space for him, and he actually seed angry.
Logically.
If Xiao Jinxing truly did not care about Ye Qichi at all, her thoughtful action wouldn’t have irked him.
And if he was irked.
Was it because he felt Ye Qichi didn’t care about him?
When one gets angry because another person does not care about them, it indicates that the person cares about the other.
Upon thinking this.
Xiao Hezhen couldn’t help but smile slightly.
It seed.
Her third brother’s affections were different from what the outside world believed.
Xiao Hezhen’s faint smile, just like that, caught the light in Wu Xufan’s eyes.
Having married into Marquis Wu’s Mansion for just over a month.
Though they saw each other often, they rarely spoke.
Even after the wedding night, they never shared a room again.
Xiao Hezhen was exceptionally cold towards him.
As a result.
He, too, showed little kindness towards her.
Their relationship was truly not good.
Because it was not good, he had almost never seen Xiao Hezhen smile in his presence.
He couldn’t help but smile as well.
A self-deprecating smile.
It turned out that Xiao Hezhen did not lack a smile, but simply did not smile at him.
The hunting festival.
Grouping took the ti of one incense stick to complete.
The contest officially began.
The field was divided into two rounds: individual archery and horseback archery, each with ten shots, scoring based on the number of bullseyes hit.
In total, there were ten groups of participants.
All of them took part in the first round of individual shooting.
The score of each person was recorded, as well as the total score of each group.
Among the first round of shooters were.
Xiao Jinxing, Xiao Jinsen, and Xiao Jinyan.
As the sons of the current emperor, they naturally took precedence in all matters.
The emperor had also changed his position to a spot with a better view, watching the competition below.
