He had no choice. He had to do this. Otherwise, he would face harsher punishment than a scolding.
He was not the only son in the Jian family. He was also not his mother’s only biological son. Many people would laugh at him if he was scolded.
He sighed secretly and inhaled again.
“Uncle, I think she—”
“If you like her, just say it. Why? Are you afraid?” Prince De interrupted him loudly and shook his head.
“I can’t believe you’re my sister’s son. Why are you so cowardly? It’s embarrassing to be out with you! It’s not easy to meet someone you like. Go on!”
He slapped Jian Xun on the back with his hand.
For some reason, Jian Xun’s legs seemed out of his control. They took a few broad strides, and he pounced on the table where An Jiuyue was.
“Ah!” A few shrieks sounded next to him.
An Jiuyue gritted her teeth when she saw the man lying on the table in front of her.
All the soy milk and buns she ordered were in this man’s chest. How was she supposed to eat them? How were the two children and Qian Yiyun, who had gone to buy candied hawthorn sticks and other snacks, supposed to eat them?
“Get the hell out!”
She reached out and grabbed Jian Xun’s back, lifted him up, and tossed him far away.
Bam!
Everyone heard the sound of something heavy hitting the ground. Before Jian Xun could even scream, he had already landed in a pile of vegetables far away.
“Gasp!”
The customers at the bun stall cried out in pain on his behalf.
He was launched so high and far away. Fortunately, he was thrown into a pile of vegetables. Otherwise, there would be no telling which limbs would be paralyzed!
Prince De’s lips twitched when he saw Jian Xun thrown out.
As expected of the woman brought back by Qian Jiyun! She’s as tough as that man and dares to hit anyone she sees. And she’s so ruthless. I can’t afford to offend her! I can’t afford to offend her at all!
Nonetheless, he took a merciless step toward An Jiuyue.
“I’m sorry, Miss. Don’t be angry. My nephew fell in love with you at first sight and was anxious to greet you. He was a little too anxious. Please forgive him.”
The customers around them sat still in their seats, unsure if they should run or hide.
Jian Xun, who had just struggled out of the pile of vegetables, was confused.
Uncle, I didn’t say that! That’s not what I meant! I’m just a matchmaker. What does this have to do with me?
“No, Uncle…”
“Pft.” An Jiuyue sneered and glanced at Jian Xun coldly.
Do they think I can’t tell? They’re obviously here to cause trouble on purpose. They deserve to be beaten!
“Xun’er, hurry up and explain things to this lady.”
Prince De walked towards Jian Xun and grabbed his arm. He dragged his nephew, who yielded after making a show of resistance, to An Jiuyue.
Jian Xun was shocked.
Uncle, I really don’t! You’re the one who should like this young lady!
Shouldn’t the plot involve you falling in love with An Jiuyue and sending her to the Prince De Residence despite my objections? Then Qian Jiyun will rush into your residence with his men and destroy it?
“Go over. If you like this lady, tell her nicely. Don’t worry, I’ll support you here. Your mother won’t blame you.”
