the other side.
The carriage zigzagged and finally stopped in front of a restaurant.
Han Yu got off the carriage first, turned around and stretched out his hand to the people in the carriage.
Si Ning frowned, did not reach out, picked up her skirt and walked down.
Han Yu didn't pay attention, smiled and stepped away.
The two entered the restaurant one after another, and the waiter took them to the private room upstairs.
Han Yu was a regular customer, and the waiter recognized him, so he was extra polite.
"What do you want to eat?"
"Follow the old rules."
The waiter left, Han Yu stood up, poured a cup of hot tea for Si Ning, and asked casually.
"Are you okay at the Lu family?"
Si Ning had no intention of being related to him, so he just said calmly, "It's okay."
Hearing what she said, Han Yu wisely didn't speak.
When the food was served, it was all the original owner's taste, but not what Si Ning liked to eat.
The meal was tasteless and Si Ning didn't eat much.
Han Yu frowned when he saw it.
"No appetite?"
Si Ning put his chopsticks aside and raised his eyes to look at the person opposite.
"Whatever the Fifth Prince needs me to do, just tell me if you have any questions."
Si Ning is not heartless, he just doesn't like to get too close to others.
No matter how stupid she is, she can guess that there must be something between the original owner and Han Yu.
But she is not the original owner, and she does not want to have too much to do with the royal people.
She just wanted to repay her kindness as soon as possible and have no further contact with Han Yu in the future.
Han Yu's expression moved slightly, and he raised his hand to pour another cup of hot tea for Si Ning before speaking.
"You just want to end the relationship with me. Is it because you really don't have me in your heart, or did Lu Hanxiao make some promise to you that makes you stick to him wholeheartedly?"
Si Ning stared at him, "What on earth does the fifth prince want to say? How can Lu Hanxiao make a promise to me when he is unconscious? It's just that I am a woman now, so there is nothing wrong with keeping a distance from the fifth prince!"
Han Yu was obviously dissatisfied with the answer, and frowned and said, "Si Ning, don't be angry with me. I had no choice at the time. I promise you, after one year, if you stay in the Lu family for another year, I will definitely take you to my house." Come here..."
"Fifth Prince, you must have understood what I said. If nothing happens, I will leave first."
"I have accepted the fifth prince's kindness today, and Si Ning will remember it."
After saying that, he stood up and left without waiting for Han Yu to say anything.
Heng Yi had just come back and bumped into Si Ning and hurriedly entered the box.
Seeing Han Yu's gloomy face, he asked in a low voice.
"Master, Miss Si, this is..."
Han Yu restrained his thoughts and narrowed his eyes.
"Go check on Lu Hanxiao and see if he's awake?"
…
After leaving the restaurant, Si Ning returned to his house, but there was no sign of Lu Hanxiao.
She asked Qiu Ju and found out that he hadn't come back yet, and she couldn't help but worry.
Could it be that Han Yu's people didn't pass the news to him and he kept waiting stupidly, or that he encountered another accident on the road.
Unable to stay in the house, Si Ning planned to go out to search, but as soon as he opened the door, he saw Lu Hanxiao coming back with Minghan.
Si Ning hurriedly stepped forward and was about to speak when Lu Hanxiao passed her directly and entered the house.
Si Ning, "???"
What kind of wind is this!
He looked towards Ming Han and wanted to ask him, but his eyes were attracted by a cage in his arms.
Ming Han walked over cautiously, handed the cage to Qiu Ju, and whispered.
"It was sent by Mr. Qin Xiaohou. Madam, look..."
Si Ning originally thought that Lu Hanxiao bought it, but who would have thought that it was Qin Yi who gave it to him.
Immediately his eyes lit up and he couldn't wait to take the puppy out of the cage.
The puppy was soft and frail, probably just out of confinement. Si Ning held it in his arms, found a comfortable position and closed its eyes.
Si Ning was instantly cute. Although she has been fighting life and death for most of her life, she is also an ordinary girl who also likes some cute things.
The small ball was pressed against his chest, making Sining's brows soften a bit.
"Qiu Ju... prepare a thank you gift for the young Marquis and send it over tomorrow."
"Yes, ma'am."
"Go prepare some more milk and deliver it."
Si Ning carried the puppy and walked into the house, completely forgetting to ask Lu Hanxiao about it.
Ming Han looked at her back and hesitated to speak.
Auntie, you should ask me, I am so angry that you can’t even see me?
Si Ning's eyes were full of puppies, and he still remembered what made Lu Hanxiao angry.
When he brought the puppy into the house, he found Lu Hanxiao sitting on the bed reading a book.
Si Ning didn't pay attention at first, holding the puppy and sitting on the chair to play with it.
After a while, Qiu Ju brought milk, and she and Qiu Ju started to work hard to feed the puppy.
The two of them were so busy that they didn't notice Lu Hanxiao's dark face.
Qiu Ju also liked the puppy so much that she couldn't let it go. She asked Si Ning while teasing him.
"Madam, would you like to give the puppy a name? I think many people's dogs have names."
Si Ning wasn't sure whether people in this era would keep pets, so he didn't dare to mention naming them rashly.
When she heard Qiu Ju talking about it, she nodded quickly.
"It's time to give it a name. It'll be easier to support."
Qiu Ju became interested, "What is it called? Fulai or Laibao?"
Si Ning, "..."
"Should we name it lemon, potato, or tomato sycamore?"
This time it was Qiu Ju's turn to be confused, "What is a lemon, what is a potato, and tomato sycamore. Madam, is this the name of a medicine, or is it something recorded in a book?"
Hearing what she said, Si Ning remembered that lemons did not exist in this era, and several other names were not called this.
She didn't explain, just went through it perfunctorily, and then brought the topic to naming the puppy.
When he was talking passionately, Lu Hanxiao's voice came from behind.
"Dogs are not allowed in the mansion..."
The two of them turned around and looked at the person behind them.
Lu Hanxiao also raised his eyes and looked over, repeating with an indifferent look on his face.
"Dogs are not allowed in the house."
"Who said that?"
Lu Hanxiao raised his eyebrows and looked at Si Ning, and replied with a firm tone.
"I said!"
Si Ning, "..."
This guy is sick, right?
She stood up and walked to Lu Hanxiao, asking in confusion.
"What happened to you today? Weren't you fine before?"
Lu Hanxiao looked at her, lowered his eyes slightly, and spoke coldly.
"Si Ning, my surname is Lu, it's me who decides the rules!"
Si Ning was stunned for a moment, then his face suddenly darkened when he realized what he was doing.
It turns out that his uncertainty is not because he has encountered any difficulties, but because he is setting rules for her!
Si Ning restrained his excess emotions, looked at Lu Hanxiao and nodded lightly.
"I understand, I will take this dog out and raise it."
She turned to leave, but Lu Hanxiao stopped her.
"No, let Qiu Ju clean up the wing, where you will live in the future."
"Master?" Qiu Ju called anxiously from the side, "The west wing is always filled with debris. Madam, she..."
"It's okay, I'll live there, General Lu. I overstepped my bounds, and I won't do it again in the future."
Si Ning smiled mockingly to herself. She was really being sentimental. Did she think she had any status with Lu Hanxiao?
It seemed that the last time he protected her, it was just a matter of convenience. She was overthinking it.
She turned around and left. Qiu Ju was so anxious.
He planned to stay and ask his father what the fuss was about, and he was worried about Si Ning, so he stamped his feet anxiously and ran out to chase after Si Ning.
