Xie Yinxiang confirmed again and again in disbelief.
Although she couldn’t see the words on the lantern, she could see the shape of the lantern and the little rabbit she had drawn on it.
It was very clear!
There was no mistake. It was hers.
What was most shocking was not that her lantern was in someone else’s hands, but that it was in Jiang Xiaoran’s hands.
She couldn’t help but walk forward and ask in shock, “Young Master Jiang, why is my lantern with you?”
“Your lantern?” Jiang Xiaoran suddenly stood up and was also stunned.
The two of them looked at each other in surprise.
However, soon, joy appeared in Jiang Xiaoran’s eyes.
“Miss Xie, you said that this lantern is yours? Are you the one who has been keeping in touch with me?”
Xie Yinxiang bit her lip and looked at him suspiciously.
She reached out her hand. “Return the lantern to me.”
From Xie Yinxiang’s expression, she most likely suspected that Jiang Xiaoran had used some method to get her lantern.
Without thinking, Jiang Xiaoran raised the lantern high.
“Why should I give it to you? This is clearly my lantern too.”
An indescribable joy flowed between his handsome brows.
It turned out that fate had long tied him and Xie Yinxiang together.
However, Xie Yinxiang didn’t believe that there was such a coincidence.
She raised her beautiful eyes and looked at Jiang Xiaoran. “How can it be you? The young master who communicated with me is righteous and has extraordinary speech…”
At this moment, Xie Yinxiang suddenly thought of what Gu Nuo’er had said.
The child had once told her that it was actually not accurate to judge a person based on words alone.
Since they didn’t know the full picture, they shouldn’t comment.
When Jiang Xiaoran heard her praise, he smiled even more handsomely. “So you actually admire me this much?”
Xie Yinxiang blushed with a hint of anger. “Who admires you?! Give me the lantern.”
She tiptoed to s.n.a.t.c.h it, but Jiang Xiaoran refused to let her touch it.
The difference in height between the two of them made it very difficult for Xie Yinxiang to reach the lantern.
She was almost hanging on his chest.
Her fair and beautiful face turned red from anxiety.
When she looked up, she saw Jiang Xiaoran lowering his head and smiling extremely beautifully.
She couldn’t help but retract her hand and suddenly take a step back.
Xie Yinxiang’s black eyes were filled with shame and anger. “If I had known it was you, I… I wouldn’t have replied! You l*cher!”
She flicked her sleeves, turned around, and quickly walked out.
The surrounding guests looked over.
Seeing that she had run away, Jiang Xiaoran hurriedly chased after her. “Miss Xie, don’t be angry. Let me explain!”
However, after Xie Yinxiang went out, she got into her carriage and left.
Jiang Xiaoran held the lantern and was stunned for a moment.
A happy smile appeared on his handsome face again.
“So it’s her!” He was a little excited and held the lantern tightly in his hand.
He had to find an opportunity to confess his feelings to her.
In the Four Seasons Sweet Shop, Qi Jingsheng heard the waiter’s story and chased out before he could put down the pastries he had prepared for Jiang Xiaoran.
“Young master! Has Elder Sister Xie left?” Qi Jingsheng looked anxious.
After he discovered that Jiang Xiaoran was the person who had been communicating with Xie Yinxiang…
He had wanted to keep Jiang Xiaoran here first before secretly sending a message to the Xie Manor to let Xie Yinxiang come and take a look.
Unexpectedly, the two of them met just like that!
Just now, the shop a.s.sistant had said that for some reason, Xie Yinxiang left angrily.
In comparison, Jiang Xiaoran looked happy. He took out a gold ingot and placed it in Qi Jingsheng’s hand.
“I’ll take the lanterns with me. Today is a good day. Take this gold ingot as my treat to the guests here to pastries today!”
After saying that, he got onto his horse, carried the lantern, and left with a chuckle.
Qi Jingsheng chased after him for a few steps, but because he couldn’t see, he could only stop on the spot.
His small face was filled with confusion.
Why did this young master… make Elder Sister Xie angry but am feeling happy instead?
