“`
Ningmen Prefecture City outskirts, abandoned dock.
Daohua woke up amidst the sound of pages turning and looked around dazedly before her gaze landed on Xiao Yeyang, who was sitting in front of the window examining a map.
Sensing her gaze, Xiao Yeyang looked towards the bed and met Daohua’s sleepy eyes, then lightly chuckled and said, “Awake? Did I disturb you?”
Daohua shook her head, glanced outside the window at the sky, and asked, “What time is it now? Haven’t we arrived at Ningmen Prefecture yet?” while sitting up in bed.
Xiao Yeyang came over to the bedside and noticed Daohua’s tousled hair. As he helped her tidy it up, he said, “It’s already the fourth quarter of Wei hour (14:00), and the people at the dock were noisy, so I didn’t choose to go there. We’re now by an abandoned dockside.”
Daohua was startled to hear it was already the fourth quarter of Wei hour and she asked anxiously, “It’s already so late, why didn’t you wake me? Aren’t you still here, won’t you be too late?”
Xiao Yeyang smiled and said, “Don’t worry, our trip to the Northern Frontier is to secretly deliver weapons, and traveling by day might attract attention, so we are leaving tonight.”
Daohua let out a sigh of relief.
Just then, Wang Manman came in with hot water, “Miss, wash your face.”
Daohua nodded and went to the basin to wash her face.
Xiao Yeyang put away the map on the table and summoned Defu to bring the meals. Then, he sat to one side and watched as Daohua applied lipstick to her lips. He walked over to her, took the lipstick after she had finished, and sniffed it, chuckling, “I was wondering where the fragrance of magnolia flowers was coming from. It turns out it’s from your lipstick.”
Daohua glared at him and snatched back the lipstick, “You’re also looking at things that a lady uses?”
Xiao Yeyang laughed, “You didn’t use lipstick before, why have you started using it now?”
Daohua replied, “I don’t know if it’s because of the heat lately, but my lips have been a bit dry. I applied some lipstick to moisturize them.”
Upon hearing that, Xiao Yeyang’s gaze fell on Daohua’s lips, which appeared even more tender and plump after having lipstick applied.
Daohua, feeling uncomfortable being stared at, glared at Xiao Yeyang and stood up to push him away, then walked to the window to check the situation outside, “Isn’t this abandoned dock the same place where One-Eye and Bald kidnapped us and put us on the ship?”
Xiao Yeyang smiled and followed her, “You do have a good memory.”
At this moment, Defu came over with a food box, “Master, Miss Yan, it’s time to eat.” When he finished, he swiftly set the dishes out on the table.
After setting the table, Defu exchanged a glance with Wang Manman, who was standing still, signaling her to follow him out.
Wang Manman looked at Daohua and Xiao Yeyang, who were sitting at the table, and then followed Defu out of the room.

Seeing the dishes on the table, Daohua realized she was quite hungry. She took the bowl of fish soup Xiao Yeyang had served and drank down a gulp immediately.
Xiao Yeyang promptly said, “Take it slow.”
After a few sips, Daohua put the bowl down, “This fish soup is really fresh.”
Xiao Yeyang smiled, “The fish used for the soup was freshly caught from the river, of course, it’s fresh.” Seeing soup residue on Daohua’s mouth, he reached out to wipe it for her.
Daohua avoided his touch, “What are you doing?”
Xiao Yeyang reached out again and wiped the residue from her mouth, then smiled, “You got your mouth dirty.”
Daohua took out a handkerchief and wiped her mouth again, “Next time just let me know, and that’ll be fine.”
Xiao Yeyang didn’t respond and picked up his chopsticks to take a piece of steamed fish for her, removing the bones before placing it in her plate, “Try this, the steamer aboard has quite the skill in cooking fish.”
Daohua ate and nodded as she did, “Mmm, it does taste good.”
Seeing her enjoying it, Xiao Yeyang kept adding a few more pieces to her plate.
After a while, when Daohua had eaten almost enough, Xiao Yeyang spoke, “While I’m gone, if you have any issues, go find the butler at the Glass Store.”
Daohua put down her chopsticks, “What could I possibly have to deal with at home? It’s you who should be careful, even if it’s just a delivery. Finish your task and come back early.”
Xiao Yeyang nodded with a smile, “Don’t worry, I’ll come back early to see you.” Saying so, he teased her with a glance, “Don’t miss me too much.”
Seeing Xiao Yeyang in the mood to joke about such a serious matter, Daohua glared at him all the more, thought for a bit, then added, “The weapons in Sishan Village were ultimately crafted in secret by Prince. Now that you’ve taken over the place, haven’t they noticed anything?”
