Transmigrated As My Former Uncle's Sweetheart-Chapter 1769 - There Was Something Strange Going On Between Both Of Them

1769 There Was Something Strange Going On Between Both Of Them
He had just helped Qi Heng up without a chance to say a thing when Hexin spoke up first. “Crown Prince Long, can you manage your men properly? You shouldn’t allow them to go about in a drunken stupor. It’s a very annoying thing to happen!”

There was dead silence all around.

Everyone broke out in cold sweat over what Hexin said. They had heard how cold and calculating Crown Prince Long was, and he had his way of doing this which caught others unaware. How could Lady Hexin dare to speak to him that way?

The veins of Long Yin’s temple throbbed when he heard Hexin’s words.

No one else was aware, but he knew that Hexin’s words were pointed at him.

She sounded like she was berating Qi Heng’s drunk behavior, but in fact, she was referring to what he had done a couple of years ago.

“Lil Sis Hexin is right. Anyone who creates trouble in a drunken stupor is annoying.”

His words sobered up those stumbling around them, who were all officials from both countries.

Yuan You looked at Hexin, stunned, and turned to look at Long Yin. She could not shake the feeling that there was something strange going on between both of them.

Hexin pressed her lips and was about to pull Yuan You away and leave when Beitang Rui and Yuan Xin came over from behind.

They did not notice anything wrong with the situation and smiled when they saw Long Yin standing next to Hexin.

When Long Yin saw them approaching, he instructed one of the sober attendants to help Qi Heng while he went forward to Beitang Rui and Yuan Xin and gave them a palm and fist salute. “Uncle Rui, Aunt Xin.”

“Yin’er.” Beitang Rui and Yuan Xin nodded with delighted looks on their faces.

This was especially so for Yuan Xin.

Her gaze fell onto Long Yin. She had not seen him for two years and this boy had grown even more handsome. It was difficult not to like him.

She held his hand and could not hide the happy look on her face. “Now that His Majesty and Yaoyao’s wedding is over, you don’t need to be so busy anymore. You should come over and visit us tomorrow.”

Long Yin was about to agree when Hexin quickly said, “Mother, Big Bro Long Yin would be returning to Great Shang immediately. He is a very busy person and doesn’t have the time.”

Yuan Xin was taken aback. She looked at Long Yin. “You’re returning to Great Shang tomorrow?”

Long Yin gave Hexin a light glance. Did this girl really not want him to go over to her house?

When he looked back at Yuan Xin, there was a small smile on his face. “Xinxin might have made a mistake with my travel schedule. Even though Yaoyao’s wedding is over, I’d like to take this rare chance to visit the Yan Kingdom and have some fun while I’m here. I was planning to make an official visit to Uncle Rui and Aunt Xin tomorrow, anyway.”

Hexin was immediately upset when she heard this.

He was planning to stay at Yan Kingdom for a while?

Long Yin was supposed to be a busy person. Why would he have time to hang around?

Hexin frowned and felt something was fishy about Long Yin’s plans.

Yuan Xin was delighted to hear that. “That’s great. I’ll get Xinxin to accompany you around the Yan Kingdom.”

The look on Hexin’s face changed and she rejected this idea without a second thought. “I’m busy.”

This time, Yuan Xin and Beitang Rui noticed something was wrong.

They gave her a questioning look and asked curiously, “How are you busy when you’re home all the time?”

“That’s right, Cousin Xinxin. You mentioned that you wanted to visit White Eagle Mountain last time. Since Crown Prince Long is planning to visit the Yan Kingdom, it’s a good opportunity to travel there together.” Yuan You did not notice the frequent looks Hexin was giving her and offered up Hexin without hesitation.

Hexin, “…”

“I see. What a coincidence that Xinxin wants to visit White Eagle Mountain. I’ve heard that the scenery there is breathtaking and I’ve always wanted to see it. If that’s the case, we should decide on the day to visit.” A small twinkle flashed in Long Yin’s dark eyes.
“It’s a date, then.” Yuan Xin made it official and she pulled his hand as she said enthusiastically, “Yin’er, do come over to our mansion earlier tomorrow.”

“I will. I hope I won’t be disturbing you,” Long Yin said warmly.
