Just as Madam Ye was internally screaming like a groundhog, Sheng Lingwei smiled helplessly and reached out to pinch Ye Ruoyu's little cheek.

"You naughty boy, look how scared you've made your mother! Don't be so reckless in the future, always acting like a child who hasn't grown up."

"Hehe!" Ye Ruoyu smiled and linked arms with Sheng Lingwei, tilting her head and resting it affectionately on her shoulder.

"Boss, I don't want to be like this either, but my personality is already formed, and I can't change it no matter what I do, not even my mother's constant admonitions."

Mrs. Ye: ...It's good that you know!

Wait, something's not right!

"That..." Madam Ye's pupils widened, her tone incredulous, "Your Highness, are you and my Ruoyu really friends?"

Sheng Lingwei nodded with a smile, "Yes, Mrs. Ye."

Aaaaaah!

Madam Ye wanted to scream inwardly. Her unreliable daughter was actually a friend of the princess?!

Good heavens, did she hear that right?

Ye Ruoyu tilted her head back proudly, grinning mischievously, "Mother, now you believe your daughter didn't lie, right!"

Madam Ye sneered inwardly.

If it weren't for the princess's personal confirmation, she would never have believed her daughter's words.

Then, he looked at Sheng Lingwei with a smile.

“Your Highness, my Ruoyu is too unreliable. Please forgive her. If she does anything wrong, you may scold or beat her as you please.”

"Mom!" Ye Ruoyu stamped her foot, her face turning a rare blush. "My eldest brother would never hit me or scold me. I'm his sweet little darling."

A sweet little baby?

vomit……

If it weren't for the people around her, Madam Ye would have really wanted to roll her eyes at her daughter.

With your unreliable behavior, you call yourself a sweet little darling? Pshaw, why don't you just fly to the moon?

The disdain in Madam Ye's eyes was blatant.

Seeing this, Sheng Lingwei couldn't help but laugh. It seemed that her good friend Ye Ruoyu had also gained a family who loved, pampered, and doted on her after coming to this world.

Unable to bear her mother's disdain any longer, Ye Ruoyu quickly pulled Sheng Lingwei and turned to leave.

"Mother, the princess and I have something to talk about. Please sit here and enjoy your meal. If you're really bored, go chat with your best friend. Don't worry, I won't run around."

Mrs. Ye chuckled as she watched her daughter's retreating figure.

Her daughter may be mischievous, but she's also a sweet and caring daughter.

Here, Sheng Lingwei led Ye Ruoyu to her palace, and the two sat around the fireplace chatting happily.

When the topic of Shenyang came up, Ye Ruoyu instantly became shy.

"Boss, how is Shenyang doing these days?"

Sheng Lingwei smiled with a gossipy look on her face, "Ruoyu, why are you so concerned about Shenyang? Could it be that you've found love again?"

"Oh, boss, stop teasing me." Ye Ruoyu stomped her foot, her face flushed.

Sheng Lingwei didn't say anything, but her face clearly showed the words "I'm hiding something here," making Ye Ruoyu so embarrassed she wanted to disappear into the ground.

She had no choice but to tell the truth.

"Hey, boss, fine, I'll tell you the truth! I like Shenyang. I fell in love with him back in the advanced world, but I've always been too shy to confess."

Sheng Lingwei feigned surprise, "What? You like Shenyang, but Shenyang doesn't like you. He's fallen for a girl named... what was her name again?"

Ye Ruoyu felt as if she had been struck by lightning.

After a long pause, he asked with trembling lips, "Boss, Shenyang actually has someone he likes. Who is that girl? What's her name?"

Sheng Lingwei sighed, "Ruoyu, listen to your boss's advice. We women need to be able to love and let go. Don't hang yourself on one tree."

Despite her serious demeanor, she was secretly laughing so hard she could barely breathe.

Tears welled in Ye Ruoyu's eyes, but her face remained resolute. "No, boss, please tell me that girl's name. I want to know exactly where I, Ye Ruoyu, fall short of her?"

Sheng Lingwei suppressed a laugh and sighed again.

"What good would it do to tell you? Ruoyu, it's no use knowing that girl's name. You don't understand her, so how can you compare yourself to her?"

Ye Ruoyu thought about it and agreed, but she felt very upset and just wanted to know who that girl was.

Tears welled up in her eyes and rolled down her cheeks in large drops.

"Boss, please."

Looking at the scalding tears, Sheng Lingwei felt a pang of guilt; she seemed to have gone too far.

He quickly took out a handkerchief and wiped away Ye Ruoyu's tears. "Oh dear, don't cry. Since you're so persistent, I'll tell you."

"Boss, then tell me quickly." Ye Ruoyu sniffed, staring intently at Sheng Lingwei.

Sheng Lingwei blinked. "What a coincidence! That girl has the same surname as you, Ye. And what a coincidence! That girl's name is Ye Ruoyu, exactly the same as your name!"

Ruoyu, wouldn't you say this is a kind of fate?

Ye Ruoyu was dumbfounded, her eyes wide open, tears streaming down her face, and then she stood with her hands on her hips, looking furious.

"Boss, that Shenyang! It's one thing if he doesn't like me, but he insists on finding a girl with the same name as me. What does he mean by that? Is he deliberately trying to make fun of me?"

"Pfft!"

Sheng Lingwei couldn't hold back and burst into laughter.

"My silly girl, how can you be so adorably silly? You actually believed whatever I said, hahaha..."

"Boss... Boss!" Ye Ruoyu suddenly realized, her face instantly turning as red as a lantern.

"Boss, you're kidding me! Ugh, I'm angry! I'm really angry!"

Ye Ruoyu said she was angry, but her face was beaming with joy. She really didn't expect that Shenyang liked her too.

Sheng Lingwei smiled and apologized, "Ruoyu, don't be angry with me. To make up for my mistake, I'll send you to Chaozhou Kingdom right now. You can go and ask Shenyang yourself to find out his feelings."

Ye Ruoyu bit her lip, fidgeting, "Boss, it sounds exciting, but what if my mother comes looking for me later?"

Sheng Lingwei smiled and said, "I'll take you there and come back. I'll explain to your mother myself. I'll pick you up again tomorrow at noon. Is that alright?"

"OK!"

Ye Ruoyu answered decisively. As early as when she learned that Shenyang had become the Great General of Chaozhou Kingdom, she wished she could fly to Chaozhou Kingdom, but her parents disagreed and said that they would let her brother accompany her after the New Year.

There was no way to disobey my parents' orders.

She could only count down the days, hoping that she and Shenyang could meet soon.

Now that's great, with her boss's amazing help, she can save time traveling and meet Shenyang immediately.

Aww, I'm so happy! (*＾ー＾)

"Let's go!" Sheng Lingwei pulled Ye Ruoyu into the space, and in the blink of an eye they arrived at the royal palace of Chaozhou Kingdom.

Looking at the two people who suddenly appeared in the palace.

Yu Guangliang, Wen Lengyu, Shen Yang, Shen Xin, and Liu Zi were both surprised and delighted. They didn't even bother to eat the hot pot in front of them and hurriedly stood up to greet them.

"Boss, when did you find Ruoyu? Why did you suddenly come to Chaozhou Kingdom?"

They have so many whys they want to ask.
