Back in the room.

Shen Youyu was dressing up in front of the mirror when she saw Xiao Yu return. Her beautiful eyes lit up with surprise and a hint of resentment.

The surprise came from the fact that she also heard Xiao Yu's poem, "Ten years to hone a sword."

She felt resentful because she had been at the Xiao Prince's residence for two days, and although she slept in Xiao Yu's room every night, Xiao Yu was never there.

This made her wonder if Xiao Yu was simply uninterested in women, or uninterested in her.

Could it be that he has intellectual disability, which is why he has no interest in sexual intercourse?

"My wife is so beautiful!"

Xiao Yu, who was still a little sleepy, instantly woke up after seeing Shen Youyu's beautiful face.

"Shiro only knows how to sweet-talk me into being happy."

Being praised by the man she liked made Shen Youyu incredibly happy, but she couldn't help but feel a hint of resentment in her voice.

The main problem is that she is too insecure. Her competitors are all formidable rivals like Jin Mulan, Liu Aoxue, and Murong Xian, who have both high social standing and great beauty!

If I can't take advantage of my proximity to the source, how will I compete with them in the future?

"ah?"

Xiao Yu keenly sensed the resentment in Shen Youyu's tone, but he didn't understand where this resentment came from.

I've always performed well and haven't made any mistakes, have I?

"Have I upset my wife?"

"No."

Shen Youyu shook her head. She couldn't say this outright, but seeing Xiao Yu's sincere expression, she couldn't help but soften her heart and said softly, "Shi Lang is very good. As long as I can be with Shi Lang, I'm already very happy..."
