After crossing, I was miserable.

Chapter 540: Continue to Fall in Love

Chu Yan and Qian Duoduo walked hand in hand slowly through this bustling street. Their steps were light and cheerful, as if the whole world belonged to them alone.

On ordinary days, if Qian Duoduo was alone, she might not stroll so leisurely through the streets.

However, today is different, because she has her beloved boyfriend by her side, and they are both wearing mysterious masks, temporarily putting aside the constraints of their identities. This feeling makes her feel extremely free and happy.

She looked curiously at the dazzling array of shops on the street, sometimes stopping to admire the exquisite handicrafts, and sometimes being attracted by the fragrant snacks.

Every store and every scenery seems to have become a part of their love story.

When passing by a small shop full of cute dolls, Qian Duoduo couldn't help but stop, with a gleam of surprise in his eyes.

Chu Yan understood what she meant and pulled her into the store. Seeing her happily choosing her favorite doll, the corners of his mouth unconsciously rose.

The two of them were strolling around like an ordinary couple, which was a feeling Chu Yan had never experienced before.

During this period, Qian Duoduo accidentally caught a glimpse of Yang Chuyi and Huangfu Yucheng.

Recalling the last news I heard from Bai Ningning and others, it was said that the wedding of these two people was approaching.

However, perhaps it was precisely because of her and Chu Yan's relationship that their wedding date would most likely be arranged after hers.

No matter what, she would go back and ask when she had the chance. She couldn't make things too difficult for her mother.

However, when she stared at Yang Chuyi, she inexplicably felt a strange feeling in her heart.

For some reason, Yang Chuyi's current state made her feel that something was wrong.

Huangfu Yucheng was very careful with Yang Chuyi, as if Yang Chuyi was a rare treasure that would break and disappear if he was not careful.

But Qian Duoduo didn't think much about it, it was just a feeling.

At this time, Qian Duoduo still wore the mysterious mask on his face, hiding his true face tightly.

Even though Yang Chuyi had sharp eyes, he would never be able to see through the mask and recognize that the person in front of him was Qian Duoduo.

So, the two of them passed each other in the bustling crowd like ordinary strangers.

Their figures gradually moved away, without any communication or interaction between them, like two parallel lines that would never intersect.

"What's wrong?" Chu Yan saw that Qian Duoduo seemed a little absent-minded. He didn't know what was wrong with her, so he asked with concern.

"It's okay. I just remembered that I haven't been back to the Yang Mansion for a long time. I thought about going back in a couple of days to see my father and mother."

"Okay, tell me when you're going back, and I'll go with you."

Qian Duoduo looked at Chu Yan with some surprise, and raised his eyebrows slightly, "What identity will you use to go there, the Fourth Prince or my fiancé?"

"Ahem, of course it's your fiancé." Chu Yan felt a little embarrassed and ashamed.

"But won't the emperor have any comment on your behavior?"

"No. It should be so. It's my fault for not paying my respects to my parents-in-law in time. When you are done with your work, we will go back."

"okay, I get it."

Qian Duoduo knows very well that although the era they live in still advocates respecting elders, in fact, power is the key factor that truly occupies a dominant position.

Even her own parents had to bow respectfully when they saw Chu Yan.

This situation is just like if a daughter is lucky enough to become an extremely noble queen or a beloved imperial concubine, then when they meet their parents again, the parents will also need to bow and greet their daughter.

This phenomenon is normal in this era. People's respect for power and status far exceeds the respect brought by blood ties.

Although she and Chu Yan had been engaged by the Emperor for some time, it was strange that Chu Yan had never taken the initiative to mention going to the Yang Mansion to visit her parents.

As for herself, for some reason, she never asked Chu Yan to go to Yang Mansion.

Thinking about it now, this was indeed a big mistake on her part!

After all, according to common sense, after a man and a woman get engaged, the man should go to the woman's home to meet the elders to show respect and sincerity.

"I'm a little hungry, let's go eat."

Qian Duoduo thought that before Chu Yan went back with her, she should talk to her mother first.

"Okay, what do you want to eat?"

"Um......"

Qian Duoduo thought about it and although he was a little hungry, he didn't know what to eat.

Chu Yan looked at her tangled expression, smiled and touched her head, "Can you hold on for a while? How about we go to the boat to eat? I'll have someone prepare some hot pots, and we can eat some hot pots."

"Well, that's good. But what ship are you talking about?"

"Bai Ningchuan has two painted boats, which he usually uses to recite poems and appreciate the moon. Usually, only a few of us will go there, and we can enjoy the moon while eating hotpot. And I heard that there will be fireworks shows along the river in the evening."

"Oh? Bai Ningchuan is so elegant? Do you go there often? Are there any girls there?"

Chu Yan knew he had said the wrong thing when he heard it, so he denied it directly.

"I don't know either. I've only been there a few times, always with Lu Shaoxuan and him. Usually when I go there, we just drink a few drinks."

Qian Duoduo couldn't help laughing at Chu Yan's serious expression, "Can you just sell your brother out like this?"

"I didn't sell him out. I was telling the truth. But he doesn't go there often. Lu Shaoxuan goes there the most."

"Well, then there's no doubt about it."

"Then are we still going?" Chu Yan looked at Qian Duoduo's expression, afraid that she might not like it.

"Why not? If there are dancers, you can also watch a performance, which is pretty good."

"Okay, I'll let them make the arrangements now."

Chu Yan made a gesture, and the secret guards following him went to make arrangements.

Chu Yan and Qian Duoduo also walked towards the painting boat, but they were not in such a hurry.

Qian Duoduo didn't expect that before they reached the painting boat, she saw the fireworks.

"Wow, it's quite beautiful." Qian Duoduo said sincerely.

Qian Duoduo was a little surprised that there were fireworks in this era. Although they were not as beautiful as the ones in her villa, she still liked to watch them.

The two of them later slowly took a carriage to the painted boat. Seeing that Qian Duo liked watching the fireworks so much, Chu Yan simply waited for a while and let her watch for a while longer.

Chu Yan suddenly discovered that the fireworks that once made him annoyed could actually make people feel so happy.
