Hearing what Ye Jiayao said, Ah Ruan agrees "Sure, I will not be formal with you."
There are a few times Ye Jiayao wants to ask her but she cannot bring herself to, she should just ask Xiao Man later.
After sitting around for an hour, Ye Jiayao finally bids farewell. They have agreed that she would send a chef over after three days.
Ah Ruan sends her off to the door and Ye Jiayao forbids her to see her off any further "Just leave it to Xiao Man, you should head back quickly! The sun is raging outside."
"Alright then, you have to come three days later!"
Such reluctance to separate, such anticipation in her gaze, how lonely Ah Ruan must be. Ye Jiayao nods, smiling "I will, when have I not kept my word?"
After leaving the main courtyard, Ye Jiayao asks Xiao Man "Xiao Man, tell me the truth, how is the Prince treating the Princess?"
Xiao Man seems to be put on the spot, muttering "The Prince is quite busy."
