nHe had no choice. He had to do this. Otherwise, he would face harsher punishment than a scolding.

nHe 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.

nHe sighed secretly and inhaled again.

n“Uncle, I think she—”

n“If you like her, just say it. Why? Are you afraid?” Prince De interrupted him loudly and shook his head.

n“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!”

nHe slapped Jian Xun on the back with his hand.

nFor 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.

n“Ah!” A few shrieks sounded next to him.

nAn Jiuyue gritted her teeth when she saw the man lying on the table in front of her.

nAll 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?

n“Get the hell out!”

nShe reached out and grabbed Jian Xun’s back, lifted him up, and tossed him far away.

nBam!

nEveryone 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.

n“Gasp!”

nThe customers at the bun stall cried out in pain on his behalf.

nHe 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!

nPrince De’s lips twitched when he saw Jian Xun thrown out.

nAs 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!

nNonetheless, he took a merciless step toward An Jiuyue.

n“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.”

nThe customers around them sat still in their seats, unsure if they should run or hide.

nJian Xun, who had just struggled out of the pile of vegetables, was confused.

nUncle, I didn’t say that! That’s not what I meant! I’m just a matchmaker. What does this have to do with me?

n“No, Uncle…”

n“Pft.” An Jiuyue sneered and glanced at Jian Xun coldly.

nDo they think I can’t tell? They’re obviously here to cause trouble on purpose. They deserve to be beaten!

n“Xun’er, hurry up and explain things to this lady.”

nPrince De walked towards Jian Xun and grabbed his arm. He dragged his nephew, who yielded after making a show of resistance, to An Jiuyue.

nJian Xun was shocked.

nUncle, I really don’t! You’re the one who should like this young lady!

nShouldn’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?

n“Go over. If you like this lady, tell her nicely. Don’t worry, I’ll support you here. Your mother won’t blame you.”
