Nie Xin never expected that the person standing outside was He Ya.

He instinctively took a step forward, blocking Sang Qing.

"What, aren't you going to introduce us?" Heya smiled, but her gaze toward Sang Qing was sharp.

This was the first time she had met Sang Qing face-to-face like this.

She was somewhat surprised.

Previously, it was the people she sent to follow Sang Qing who reported to her what Sang Qing looked like. Today, upon seeing the girl, she was quite surprised by her beauty.

No wonder Nie Xin comes here every day.

Heya bit her lip and forced a smile.

“Since you’re not going to speak, then I’ll introduce myself!” She extended her hand. “I’m Heya, and also…”

“He is also a prince of the royal family,” Nie Xin said in a low voice.

His gaze was wary, his brow furrowed slightly, and various thoughts raced through his mind...

Sang Qing stared blankly at her, standing there helplessly.

“Your Highness,” Nie Xin nodded respectfully, “I had no idea you would come here. How rude of me! You…you’re not here to have clothes made, are you?”

"Of course not." Heya waved her folding fan, looked around the shop, and finally fixed her gaze on Nie Xin. "Since we've run into each other, Mr. Nie, would you mind if I asked you to say a few words to me?"

"this……"

“According to royal rules, a princess cannot summon men,” she chuckled. “But if you bump into each other while shopping and chat for a bit, that doesn’t break the rules, does it?”

Nie Xin hesitated for a moment, then finally nodded.

He looked at Sang Qing and said, "You stay here in the shop. I'll be back in a bit."

Heya walked in front, with Nie Xin following behind her.

The two walked onto a secluded path. Heya put away her parasol and quietly looked at the man in front of her.

His face was sharply defined, with a heroic air about him, but what was most captivating were his peach blossom eyes that seemed to be smiling yet not smiling.

She remembered that they first met when they were in college, and it was love at first sight for her.

Later, she subtly brought up the matter to her uncle, and the old king, who also wanted to win over the Nie family, sounded out General Nie.

Unfortunately, General Nie never made his stance clear.

Everyone could see that He Ya had feelings for Nie Xin.

Nie Xin's polite rejection of He Ya was obvious to everyone.

Otherwise, why would he go to the central city to become a movie star?

Heya took a deep breath. She couldn't swallow this. She was determined to have this man, and she would make him beg her!

"Your Highness, please speak frankly if you have something to say," Nie Xin said calmly.

"Yes, I know you don't like beating around the bush." ​​He Ya looked at him and asked softly, "The girl we saw in the tailor shop earlier, was that Sang Qing?"

Nie Xin was startled, his whole body tensing up like a cheetah encountering danger, staring intently at her.

"Your Highness, you..."

“Her temporary residency status was arranged with He Jin’s help,” He Ya smiled. “So do you think I wouldn’t recognize her?”

"To be honest, I was quite surprised when He Jin helped her stay in Southeast Asia. My younger brother, who usually doesn't care about anyone's affairs, suddenly went to such lengths for a girl! Ha, I thought she would be my future sister-in-law!"

Nie Xin's expression changed, and she chuckled softly.

He and He Jin had been friends since childhood, and he knew He Jin better than anyone else.

These kinds of words really won't provoke him!

“Your Highness, I am truly grateful for Prince Hejin’s trouble in this matter. We haven’t met yet, but I will personally thank him when I do.”

“My brother can only get her temporary residency,” Heya said, looking at him. “But I’ll help her get permanent residency, how about that?”

"What did you say?"

Nie Xin couldn't believe her ears.

Actually, he didn't have much contact with Heya. The reason he didn't agree to the marriage was that his father, Nie Zhen, had various considerations and hadn't agreed yet.

Secondly, he felt that he and Hea were completely different people.

But he didn't expect that even though his rejection of her was so obvious, she would still help him?

This is a bit illogical.

When something seems unusual, there's usually a hidden danger.

Nie Xin decided to wait and see what she had to say.

"What's wrong with you?" He Ya laughed. "So happy you can't even speak? That Sang Qing, who exactly is she to you?"

Nie Xin paused for a moment, then replied calmly, "I met her in England. Sang Qing saved my friend's life and helped Can Can a lot, but she doesn't have legal status in England. Out of gratitude, I wanted to help her solve this problem, so I brought her to Southeast Asia."

Heya curled her lips into a smile.

That sounds so grand and impeccable!

But did he really think she didn't know what he was thinking?

She gripped the parasol handle tightly, her arm trembling slightly.

"So, she's your friend too! Ha, then I'll definitely help you out!"

"Your Highness..."

"I heard from He Jin that this girl is very ambitious and has excellent skills. Seeing her just now, and knowing how beautiful she is, I really like her!"

"I heard she still wants to go to university?" A sinister glint flashed in He Ya's eyes. "Nie Xin, our Nanyang University has always been known worldwide for its rigorous academic standards and prolific publications. I imagine there are countless applicants... Nanyang University is extremely strict with foreign students, and their admission scores are much higher than those of domestic students!"

“If Sang Qing had official status, she could enjoy the same treatment as local students, and her admission scores would be the same as those of locals! She wouldn’t have to work so hard… Don’t you agree?”

Nie Xin narrowed her eyes slightly, finding it increasingly mysterious the more she listened.

But Hea did indeed offer him a very tempting reward.

Sang Qing's official identity was a heavy weight on his heart.

He was naturally happy that someone was going to remove the stone, but he never expected that person would be Hea...

“Nie Xin, don’t laugh at me,” He Ya continued, “I saw the dress Sang Qing made for Can Can, it was so beautiful! I wanted to bring her to the palace right then and there. Such a talented person shouldn’t be wasted!”

"Oh, but my brother was so talkative that day, he said she was already engaged and had a marriage contract..."

Heya deliberately slowed down her speech to observe Nie Xin's expression.

Sure enough, the man's eyes darkened, and his hand at his side quietly clenched into a fist.

Heya smiled and continued, "Women who are engaged cannot enter the palace, what a pity! Nie Xin, do you know who her fiancé is?"

"I heard that the tailor shop owner also has a son... Could it be that Sang Qing found this shop to rely on as soon as she arrived here?"
