Chapter 105 Sharing My Heart

Ayina glanced at Jiang Huan in the wheelchair and the familiar food box in Jiang Huan's arms, her blue eyes flashing.

"Where are you going?" She tried to remain calm, but a hint of urgency crept in.

Jiang Huan blinked, shook the food box in her hand, and honestly replied, "I'll go be a food delivery girl."

Upon hearing this, Ayina almost blurted out the three words.

Don't go.

"Huh?" Jiang Huan was taken aback.

Ayina realized she had overreacted, and her face grew even hotter. She took a step forward, grabbed the armrest of Jiang Huan's wheelchair, and pushed her back, her tone a bit domineering and spoiled.

"I'm in a bad mood. Talk to me and cheer me up."

Her gaze swept over Jiang Huan's food box, and she added, "I had someone deliver these snacks to you on my behalf."

Jiang Huan was both amused and exasperated; how did a perfectly good princess end up being possessed by a domineering CEO?

"but......"

"Oh, stop nagging."

Without saying a word, Ayina snatched the food box and handed it to her maid, then pushed the wheelchair away quickly.

Jiang Huan saw her acting as if she were trying to steal a bride, and noticed the bewildered flame burning in her eyes.

She must really have something on her mind.

He simply leaned back in his wheelchair and let himself be.

"Okay, okay, I'll listen to you."

Ayina breathed a sigh of relief, and the group returned to Weiyang Palace.

Ayina sat down in the chair, but seemed somewhat restless.

"Um... Jiang Huan, I have a question for you."

"Yes, I will answer to the best of my knowledge and do my best to explain."

Jiang Huan adopted a listening posture, resting her chin on her hand and gazing at her.

Ayina took a deep breath: "There's someone I just can't stand. I think he's lazy, glib, and utterly annoying. I just want to stay as far away from him as possible."

The reference to "谑" is far too obvious.

Who else but Huo Yunxing could make the princess hate him so much?

Jiang Huan remained expressionless, but instead prompted, "And then?"

“Then…” Ayina’s voice trailed off again, her fingers unconsciously twisting the hem of her clothes.

"Then one day, you suddenly run into trouble, the kind that's really dangerous. This person could have just ignored it, but instead, like an idiot, he rushes in front of you without thinking, and gets injured and bleeds a lot because of it."

Her voice trembled slightly, as if she could see Huo Yunxing bleeding from his forehead again.

Jiang Huan's gossipy nature instantly ignited.

Feeling sorry for a man is the first step to falling in love. It seems that these two bickering lovers have finally found their destiny.

She played along perfectly, gasping, "Oh my god, how badly are you hurt?"

"He has a cut on his forehead, it looks pretty scary."

Ayina answered instinctively, then realized it was wrong and quickly tried to correct herself.

"But he brought it on himself. Who told him to meddle in other people's business?"

"Oh? Just meddling in other people's business?"

Jiang Huan pushed the wheelchair closer, a knowing smile in her eyes.

"Did the princess's heart race at that moment? Did she feel anxious and heartbroken seeing him bleed, even more so than if she were injured herself? Did she wish she could disappear into the ground when he approached and looked at her?"

Ayina was stunned by Jiang Huan's series of precise descriptions. Her blue eyes widened as she stared at her in disbelief.

"Were you spying on me?"

Jiang Huan burst out laughing, her thought process even more peculiar than Huo Lin's.

She shook her head smugly, looking like someone who'd been there all along.

"Tsk tsk tsk, what's so hard to guess? Let me show you..."

As he spoke, he pulled Ayina's hand away and pretended to take her pulse for a long time.

"The preliminary diagnosis is that he is experiencing the first stirrings of love and has secretly fallen for her."

"Nonsense!" Ayina was both embarrassed and angry, and reached out to cover Jiang Huan's mouth.

"Who has secretly fallen for you? Jiang Huan, if you keep talking nonsense, I... I'll tickle you!"

The two girls immediately burst into laughter and playful banter. Jiang Huan laughed and dodged, her wheelchair creaking as she rocked back and forth.

Jiang Huan smiled and begged for forgiveness, "Alright, alright, I won't say anymore. But Princess, you have to admit, isn't he less annoying to you now? You might even find him a little pleasing to the eye?"

Ayina stopped what she was doing, panting, her cheeks flushed.

She was silent for a few seconds, her long eyelashes drooping, her voice as low as a mosquito's hum.

"Just... just a little bit, at least when he was blocking the rocks, he was quite like a warrior."

Jiang Huan couldn't help but smile as she looked at her proud yet honest demeanor.

The sweetness in TV dramas can't compare to the sweetness in real life.

She's already become the main supporter of this couple!

"Huo Yunxing may seem carefree and irresponsible, but he has a good heart. There's nothing shameful about liking someone, so why not consider him?"

What are you considering? Are you considering marrying him?

The moment the thought popped into her head, Ayina was startled.

She abruptly pulled her hand back and began pacing around the room, muttering to herself.

"No, no, he's so irresponsible, a lazy bum, all he does is play all day..."

She seemed to be trying to find reasons for herself, attempting to convince her wavering heart.

Meanwhile, in the Imperial Study.

After reviewing the last memorial, Huo Lin habitually looked up at the door.

Jiang Huan would usually appear at this time, but today the doorway was empty.

Wang Degui, being a quick-witted person, immediately said upon seeing this, "Your Majesty, Princess Ayina went to Weiyang Palace and talked with the Empress, so the Empress was unable to come in person, but her heartfelt wishes have already arrived."

Wang Degui pointed to the table next to him, on which sat a familiar food box.

Huo Lin's expression turned cold and somber upon hearing this; it was Ayina again.

He waited all afternoon with bated breath, only to have the princess from the northern desert steal his thunder again.

Why does Ayina always try to steal him away?

He stood up, his tone calm and even, yet carrying an oppressive sense of impending doom.

"Set up the carriage at Weiyang Palace."

He wanted to go and see for himself what urgent matter Princess Ayina had that compelled her to detain Jiang Huan for a heart-to-heart talk at this hour.

Just as Ayina was holding her burning cheeks in a panic, Huo Lin pushed open the door and walked in.

His gaze was sharp, first falling on Jiang Huan, a hint of tenderness flashing deep in his eyes, but then his gaze shifted to Ayina sitting to the side.

"Princess, you seem to be in high spirits, coming here so early in the morning to enjoy tea and have a chat?" Huo Lin's voice was not loud, but it carried an invisible pressure.

[What topics make her blush?]

[Wait, is she going to introduce Jiang Huan to some scantily clad, indecent men again? Outrageous! Does she think I'm just a decoration?!]

Jiang Huan shook her head helplessly.

The vinegar jar has been overturned again.

Ayina was enraged by Huo Lin's tone and abruptly stood up, meeting Huo Lin's scrutinizing gaze.

"What does Your Majesty mean by that? Does it mean that I, the princess, need to report to Your Majesty before I come to talk to Jiang Huan and relieve my boredom?"

Her voice was clear and crisp, with a distinct hint of gunpowder, "This Weiyang Palace, I, the princess, can come and go as I please!"
