Lin'er had never suffered such a great injustice in her life. She mustered her courage, raised her head, and told herself that there was nothing to be ashamed of. She stared at Zhou Cheng's figure and asked in a choked voice, "Young Master Zhou."

"Is this your fiancée, Miss Cheng?"

"Then... these dozen or so people, are they all Miss Cheng's close friends in the capital?"

"They came all the way from the capital to see you. So many of them came specifically to see you, and you said you had a very good relationship with me and couldn't accept me. But there are so many of them."

"I thought you were a devoted and faithful husband, but I never expected you to have so many lovers. It's one thing to have one in your arms, but you're also eyeing more than a dozen."

"I never expected it to turn out like this!"

"I'm so disappointed in you!"

Lin'er was completely devastated.

Everyone in the room was just as beautiful as her.

Leaving aside her fiancée, even the woman in purple standing next to her had bright eyes and white teeth, and possessed a beauty like a lotus emerging from water. The moment her gaze swept over, Lin'er felt inferior.

She, a Silver player who accidentally stumbled into the Platinum and King of Glory ranks, just wanted to disappear into a crack in the ground.

This moment.

Lin'er finally understood that Zhou Cheng's words at the dinner table were not lies. Zhou Cheng didn't like her, he looked down on her, he really didn't like her! It wasn't because he was young and shy.

"father!!"

"Is this what you mean by 'the capital is a small place'? You even said you've met that Miss Lin! You said I'm several times better than Miss Lin, but look at them, look at them!"

"I hate you, I hate Young Master Zhou!"

"I don't want to be the empress anymore."

“Wuwuwuwu…”

Lin'er covered her face, which she thought she had crushed the crowd, and glared at Zhou Cheng sadly, fiercely, and deeply before running away, sobbing.

Prefect Xia was stunned and stood there in astonishment.

He looked at Cheng Xianyi, who was buried in Zhou Cheng's arms. He swore that he had never seen such a beautiful person in the capital. He hadn't told him that the daughter of Grand Tutor Cheng in the capital looked like this!

Then I looked at the dozen or so people, including Ziyan, Qingyan, and Lanyan...

Every single one of them is stunningly beautiful, like someone from a talent show!

Could this be a close friend?

This must be my sister!

More than a dozen of them came out, each one gentle and sensible, calling her "Sister Cheng" so happily and sweetly. And that's not all, they even came all the way from the capital to see Zhou Cheng in a friendly manner.

Prefect Xia: "........."

"Young Master Zhou!"

"you--"

"you--"

Prefect Xia was filled with mixed emotions. He stared at Zhou Cheng for several moments with a complex and profound look, and finally revealed a chilling expression. He flicked his sleeve and quickly left the inn: "I really didn't expect this."

"I never imagined that the rumored devoted and faithful Young Master Zhou would secretly harbor so many beauties. How could you do this to me? How could you do this to Lin'er's affection!"

"I am so disappointed in you."

"Lin'er, Lin'er... my Lin'er..."

The farce ended with Lin'er leaving in tears, deeply hurt.

Presumably, from then on, Prefect Xia would never dare to mention betrothing his daughter to Zhou Cheng again.

Taking advantage of everyone's inattention, Ziyan seized an opportunity to remove the traces of the sleeping powder, creating the scene of her being drunk and unconscious, temporarily deceiving Zhou Cheng and the others.

Those who witnessed this scene, including Qingyan, did not dare to linger and quickly made an excuse to leave the inn.
