"How come I never thought you were so heartless, little girl?"

"Now your maternal grandparents are so angry that they can't get out of bed, and you've made me so angry too."

"You heartless bastard!"

Xiao Xiyou stood up because he simply couldn't bear to watch any longer.

I originally thought I could control what women did and didn't need to get involved.

But now he understands that when it comes to Zhou Zhizhi, he can't help but get carried away, even when arguing with a woman.

"Madam Chen, I saw everything you did just now. Could it be that you got angry and something went wrong?"

Xiao Xiyou's voice was a bit louder, which startled the mother and daughter for a moment.

I originally thought His Highness would value them more, and even if he knew the truth, he would never say it like this.

But I never expected the second prince to speak like that.

"Your Highness, I have an old ailment, and I can't afford to get angry, or I'll feel terrible."

Chen Yu cried, her face streaked with tears.

This is what Xiao Xiyou finds most annoying.

Do you take me for a fool?

"You've harmed an orphan girl here, and you expect me to uphold justice for you?"

Chen Yutie's face was rather pale.

Madam Chen had never imagined that things would turn out this way.

He's now in a state where he can't lie down or stand up, and he doesn't know what to do.

"Get out of my sight right now!"

"Listen up, Zhou Zhizhi is mine. Anyone who dares to make a move on her is going against me."

Since Xiao Xiyou had already spoken in this manner, Madam Chen stood up awkwardly.

Chen Yu, who was standing to the side, wanted to say something more, but Xiao Xiyou gave her a cold look, which scared her into silence.

"Furthermore, I have never liked anyone else but Xiao Xiyou. If anyone dares to continue to act recklessly outside, then don't blame me for being impolite."

Xiao Xiyou's words were a veiled confession.

Zhou Zhizhi looked at him incredulously.

He remained silent for a long while.

Chen Yu covered her face and mouth, which was numb, and ran out crying.

When Madam Chen saw this scene, she felt extremely distressed, but she couldn't afford to offend the Second Prince and his group.

"Yu'er!"

He shouted once and then ran out.

The front hall was completely silent; no one spoke.

Zhou Zhizhi was so embarrassed that she almost wanted to pick her toes.

What kind of talk is this from Xiao Xiyou?

Xiao Xiyou also believes that sometimes saying something doesn't mean it's invalid.

Zhou Zhizhi gave an awkward laugh and then said, "Your Highness, thank you. If it weren't for your help today, I don't know when those two would have left."

Zhou Zhizhi's meaning was very clear: she wanted to quickly say that what she said earlier was just a bluff and not true. However, she did not expect Xiao Xiyou to play by his own rules.

"You're welcome. I was just speaking from the heart."

Xiao Xiyou's gaze was intense as he spoke, as if he were not joking at all.

But now I don't know what to say.

Zhou Zhizhi did occasionally feel that the Second Prince was indeed her type.

But actually, I didn't have any other thoughts, since I didn't want to wear it here all the time.

Xiao Xiyou did not hear his own answer, and his expression turned slightly gloomy.

"Why aren't you saying anything? Do you find it so annoying to hear my honest thoughts?"

Zhou Zhizhi glanced at him; he was about to get angry again.

After hesitating for a while, I gave an awkward laugh.

"Your Highness, I never actually thought of that..."

Xiao Xiyou gave a cold snort.

"What is it that makes you unworthy of me? Just tell me."

"I didn't understand my own feelings before, but now that I do, there's no need to hide them."

"Even if you refuse me, I will still need a reason, and a very reasonable one at that!"

Xiao Xiyou's words were actually somewhat threatening, but he had no other choice but to be threatened like this.

“Your Highness, I am not worthy of you. I am very aware of my own limitations, so I am willing to offer my blessings to Your Highness.”

When Xiao Xiyou heard this, he nodded proudly.

"What you said makes sense,"

"Your appearance is decent, but do you think I am worse than you?"

Zhou Zhizhi looked up at that face, which was comparable to a demon's, and it was definitely not bad.

"Your Highness, I am not worthy of you. I can only wish you happiness and health from afar."

Xiao Xiyou shook his head.

"That's not a reason. If I don't mind, it won't be a reason."

"If possible, I am willing to wait until my father has resolved this matter before asking him to grant me the marriage."

"You are the general's only daughter, so this will give your parents an explanation. Besides, I won't treat you badly."

When Zhou Zhizhi heard this, she was actually slightly tempted, after all, the Second Prince was the richest prince.

You'll never have to worry about life if you live with him.

But I'm not bad off either. I have the general's mansion as collateral, and I also have so much silver.

"Your Highness, all I want is to live the life of an ordinary person. I haven't thought about anything else."

Xiao Xiyou was displeased when he heard this, and his face darkened again.

Even an ordinary person would lose patience or face after being rejected time and time again.

Moreover, this person is the very arrogant second prince.

"Zhou Zhizhi, I hope you can think this over carefully, but as for the outcome, I will respect your decision."

After saying that, Xiao Xiyou immediately slipped into his sleeve and disappeared.

Zhou Zhizhi sighed helplessly; he really hadn't expected so much trouble.

However, if this matter angers the Second Prince, there won't be many opportunities for me to complete my mission in the future.

not to mention……

Zhou Zhizhi touched her heart and realized that she was indeed attracted to the Second Prince's devilishly handsome appearance.

If you live with someone like that in the future, then the Second Prince's character is actually not bad.

As for the Chen family, a better opportunity is needed to resolve this completely.

He has never been a kind person, and most importantly, Chen Yu took the clothes, which the original owner cherished dearly.

He didn't want someone else to wear these clothes like this.
