Crown Prince, His Highness Xuan Shanyuan (1)

Jiang Qiu abruptly turned toward the source of the voice.

Upon seeing that familiar face, he frowned.

'Damn, why is he here? Now he has to show his little sister to him. He is not even ready yet to share his little sister ah!'

Jiang Ying Yue noticed the slight frown on her brother Qiu's face. She wondered who this person was.

She then asked, making an innocent face and blinking her clear eyes. "Brother Qiu, who is this person?"

Eventhough she was wearing a veil, Jiang Qiu could still see her eyes, and with her blinking her clear eyes so cutely, his heart melted into a puddle. How to resist ah?!

Before he could answer though, the other party's voice was heard again.

"Who am I? I am your cousin, Li Zhiqiang. Have you ever heard of me before? This is my first time meeting you. You really are very well hidden by your family!"

Li Zhiqiang was a cousin of the Jiang brothers. He was the first born of Li Mei Hua's eldest brother and he was 20 years old.

Li Mei Hua's paternal family was a prime minister's household. She had 3 siblings with two older brothers and her being the last born. Her father, Li Kun did not take any concubine due to his love for her mother.

Both of Li Mei Hua' brothers did not take any concubine either. Unfortunately, both of them only had sons and no daughter at all; which was why Jiang Qiu was worried that Li Zhiqiang would tell it to his family members and them robbing her from him.

Meanwhile, Jiang Ying Yue did not know how to face Li Zhiqiang's enthusiasm. She was really awkward alright?

To save Jiang Ying Yue from this situation, Jiang Quan came to the rescue.

"Cousin, let us not talk here. We are going to Orbis Building for our dinner. Do you want to join us?"

Jiang Quan was proud of himself.

Hmm! He definitely did something great just now. Hahaha he had just earned a plus point in Jiang Ying Yue's 'best big brother' award.

"Eh? I was heading there too! Everyone is there already. Why not we just have dinner together?" Li Zhiqiang invited.

'Everyone? Who?' Jiang Ying Yue wondered.

Jiang Qiu knew who 'everyone' that Li Zhiqiang was talking about.

'Argh here comes trouble'

He was worried. He could only hope that his little sister would not be infatuated with that guy like other girls. He still wanted to try to be the best big brother to her. He did not want some love interest suddenly emerging!

Jiang Qiu was not going to agree but since they were going to the same place anyway, they could only say yes.

"We will join you. But promise that you won't make Yue'er feel awkward. This is her first time outside anyways. Save a bit of that everlasting energy of yours."

Tsk! Just say that you only want to keep that little sister to yourself. Why must you go round and round with your words?

Li Zhiqiang could only solemnly answer "Yes yes. Don't worry. I will treat her like my own little princess."

......

The Jiang siblings and Li Zhiqiang headed over to Orbis Building in their own carriages.

After a short while, a huge four storey building with a plaque written "Orbis Building" came to view.

It was a white and brown building surrounded by trees and flowers. Behind it, was huge lake, reflecting the beauty of the moonlight on its surface. It stood tall on its own, displaying its magnificence.

Orbis Building was the biggest restaurant in the capital city. Despite the price being very high, people still came and eat there because they serve the best cuisines in the whole capital city. It was heard that you have to reserve your sit first to have a meal here and the reservation line was so long that sometimes, you have to wait for 3 months for a seat to be available.

Jiang Ying Yue wondered what kind of food do they serve here. She kinda missed a lot of food from earth. Well, she was so used to having fast foods all the time.

Having organic food here made her feel healthier but also refreshed. But sometimes, you kinda miss the unhealthy food, no?

She followed her brothers and Li Zhiqiang into the building. On the first floor, wealthy commoners and merchants could be seen. In the middle of the building, a stage was seen. She figured that the stage might be for performances.

When they were on the second floor, she could see many nobles eating there. They were all chatting and having a good time. Some were seen playing Go and others beside them betting on who would win or lose.

She suddenly remembered that back on earth, her comrades, loved playing chess and card games whenever they were free. They would knock on her door and invite her to have dinner together. After that, they would play chess and bet who would win.

She was a quiet person and would always lose herself in working and researching. It was them who would try to make her day more meaningful.

"Yue'er, Yu'er... hello? Erm.. Yue'er?" Someone called Jiang Ying Yue while waving their hand in front of her face.

"JIANG YING YUE! Come back to reality please?" The person called again.

Jiang Ying Yue looked at the person and... Oh my god! Did she just get lost in her thoughts again?! Dammit!

Making a sheepish smile despite she knew Jiang Xiang could not see it, she apologized. "Hehe, sorry brother Xiang, I was just admiring this building. It's so big!"

'Tsk, as if the building back on earth was really tiny.' Jiang Ying Yue was hoping that Jiang Xiang would buy her lie.

And yeap! He did!

"Yue'er, we are eating upstairs. It is even better than here. Let's go and don't daydream again." He ordered sternly. Well, at least he tried despite looking like he was having a stomachache instead of looking stern.

"Hmm, let's go." Jiang Ying Yue agreed.

She thought that they were going to eat on the third floor but she was wrong. They went to the fourth floor instead.

Jiang Xiang saw her confusion so he patiently explained.

"The third floor is for rank one nobles, imperial families or distinguished guests of our country. That floor has better private rooms than the second floor. But we are going to the fourth floor because the owner is our friend and that is his private room."

'Wahhh! They were going to meet the owner? Who is it?' she wondered.

While she was wondering, they arrived at the fourth floor.

Upon opening the door, her eyes met with someone else's....
