Chapter 658: Chapter 593: Twistable (Two-in-One Mega Chapter)_2 Chapter 658: Chapter 593: Twistable (Two-in-One Mega Chapter)_2 Madam Guo saw her daughter’s concern for Xiao Yeyang and wanted to learn more about this nephew herself. After a moment’s thought, she lifted the curtain of the carriage and said to Xiao Yeyang, who was on horseback, “Yeyang, you’ve just been in a fight and must be tired. Why don’t you come and rest in our carriage for a while?”

Xiao Yeyang reflexively declined, “Thank you for your kindness, aunt, but we’ve already entered the city. After I escort you back to the residence, I’ll have time to rest.”

Madam Guo smiled, “You are much more polite than when you were little. But remember, we are family. There’s no need for such formalities. Come sit in the carriage, and we can talk more intimately.”

Xiao Yeyang furrowed his brows. What intimate matters could they possibly have to discuss? He refused again with a smile, “I shall visit you another time, aunt.”

Madam Guo, faced with another refusal, felt a slight displeasure in her heart. However, since Xiao Yeyang’s actions were not inappropriate, she pondered for a moment and then said, “Why wait for another time? I think you should come over today. Your cousin has made some scented dew that’s quite good. I’ll have her make some for you to try.”

Xiao Yeyang’s frown deepened. He remembered this aunt not being fond of him during his childhood, so why was she so enthusiastic now?

“I’m afraid I can’t today. I have other matters to attend to. Next time, when my uncle has a day off, I will come to pay a visit. The caravan is moving too slowly; I’m going ahead to check.”

Saying this, he spurred his horse and rode forward.

Having seen this, Madam Guo dropped the curtain somewhat vexed, “This Xiao Yeyang, I find him a bit ungrateful.”

Guo Xueming fell silent, “Mother, perhaps cousin really has important matters.”

Madam Guo, “When Yeyang was young, he was always headstrong and disobedient. Now that he’s grown, he’s become somewhat more stable, but the defiance in his bones hasn’t changed. He lacks the proper respect for his elders.”

It wasn’t long before they arrived at the Guo Residence.

Madam Guo, aided by her maid, got off the horse first. As Guo Xueming was about to step out of the carriage, Madam Guo glanced at Xiao Yeyang standing nearby, quickly signalling the maids with her eyes not to assist Guo Xueming.

When Guo Xueming saw no one coming to help her, she hesitated for a moment on the carriage and her gaze involuntarily turned towards Xiao Yeyang.

Xiao Yeyang glanced at her, then looked away, showing no intention of coming forward to offer his hand.

Seeing this, Guo Xueming’s face showed a hint of embarrassment as she had to slowly dismount by herself.

As for Madam Guo, she stood to the side, seething quietly.

How satisfying it had been to see Xiao Yeyang earlier ignore Jiang Wanying’s fall, yet now, her heart was equally uncomfortable.

This Xiao Yeyang, truly had no consideration for women’s feelings.

Once Guo Xueming had dismounted, Xiao Yeyang said to Madam Guo, “Aunt, I have other matters and won’t accompany you inside.”

Madam Guo looked at Xiao Yeyang and smiled, “Yeyang, I feel like you are even busier than your uncle. Since I’ve been in Ningmen Prefecture for so long, you haven’t yet come to visit me.”

Xiao Yeyang said with a light smile, “I am indeed quite busy.”

Madam Guo was choked by these curt five words, and with a forced smile responded, “Then go and be busy with your work.”

Xiao Yeyang nodded and turned to leave.

At that moment, Guo Xueming spoke up, “Though cousin is busy, he must take care of his health and not overwork himself.”

Xiao Yeyang paused, then smiled, “Thank you.”

Having said that, he strode away.

…

Glass Store.

Yan Wenkai excitedly led Su Shiyu and Daohua around, looking at glass ornaments one after another, “Sister Su, take your time picking, there’s no rush.”

Su Shiyu glanced at Daohua, then toward Yan Wenkai, unsure, “Are you really going to buy a glass piece for each member of my family?”

Yan Wenkai: “Of course, I always keep my word.”

Curiously, Daohua asked, “Big Brother, did you pick up some silver?”

Yan Wenkai smiled mysteriously, remaining silent, and continued admiring the glass with Su Shiyu.

Seeing this, Daohua pouted, noticing the two whispering to each other, feeling herself superfluous, and huffed, “My feet hurt, I won’t accompany you two any longer. I’ll go sit on the second floor.”

Yan Wenkai quickly nodded in agreement.

Daohua, seeing him looking almost relieved at her departure, huffed to herself about her brother forgetting his sister when he had a potential bride, and turned to ascend to the second floor.

The butler of the Glass Store recognized Daohua and quickly ushered her into the innermost street-side private room.

After looking over a few newly-made glass items, Daohua stood by the window, observing the pedestrians in the street. Although her gaze was fixed on the crowd outside, her thoughts involuntarily drifted to Xiao Yeyang.
