Xie Lingqin began to regret it, regretting that she had been bewitched by his good looks and lost her mind, choosing such a shameless man.

Standing before her now, he still possessed that same elegant bearing, his brows radiating nobility. Yet, looking at the smile spreading from the corners of her lips…

“Your Highness, you’re smiling like the neighbor’s silly son.”

"The neighbor's silly son?" Yuwen Yao's smile remained, but his expression was thoughtful.

Xie Lingqin won a round, and a look of victory finally appeared on her face. "Yes, and the kind that's extremely silly."

"If I could win the heart of a beautiful wife, even being a bit silly wouldn't be bad."

Yuwen Yao said, his brows furrowed with a deep, unyielding tenderness.

Xie Lingqin rubbed her forehead, feeling utterly helpless.

There's nothing to say when you encounter a man like that.

"Um, I have something to do..." After a long pause, Xie Lingqin pointed ahead, as if to leave. The series of events that happened today had been too fast, and she needed to calm down.

However, the prince lifted his sleeve and tightly grasped her hand again, his fingers restlessly drawing circles in her palm, his eyes focused intently.

"Give me a kiss," the prince said gently, pointing to his face.

Xie Lingqin's jaw dropped; she nearly dropped her jaw.

This is an action that would be incredibly cute for a little girl, so why is it appearing on the prince's unbelievably handsome face?

Moreover, it blends in perfectly, possessing a unique and captivating charm.

Is this how she and the Crown Prince will get along in the future?

They casually ask for a kiss while walking down the street.

Xie Lingqin's heart is both cold and warm, and sweet.

Could she choose again? She was tricked by the Crown Prince. If she hadn't been left hanging on the lake, she would definitely have thought it over again... right?

"Your Highness, I think..."

"You were so proactive just now, but now you're not kissing me anymore. Could it be that you think the jade bracelet my mother gave you wasn't precious enough?"

What... what does this have to do with Her Majesty the Empress?

Xie Lingqin raised her wrist. Oh right, she had almost forgotten about this. This... was a gift for meeting.

"How about we go ask the Empress Dowager for some more?" Yuwen Yao stepped forward, seemingly serious.

"No need," Xie Lingqin quickly waved her hand in refusal.

She didn't want to experience something so humiliating again.

“…Alright.” After a moment, Xie Lingqin looked around, reluctantly agreed, took a step forward, and stood on tiptoe.

With such a beautiful face, kissing her wouldn't be a bad deal, and besides, she really wants to ruin it to death.

The moment Xie Lingqin touched his soft lips, she couldn't help but marvel at how good his skin was; heaven had been too kind to Yuwen Yao.

"Ah, you, you..."

Xie Lingqin's lips were just touching the Crown Prince's face, savoring the moment, when a surprised voice startled her so much that she immediately pulled her lips back and took a sudden step back.

“You guys…” Yu Qingyi looked horrified, even more astonished than if he had discovered the chaos that had gripped the world. He stepped forward, looking at the Crown Prince and then at Xie Lingqin.

Xie Lingqin's face was already red to the roots of her ears.

Today is truly an unlucky day.

"What's all the fuss about? Didn't you see them kissing?" Yuwen Yao scolded impatiently.

Yu Qingyi's exclamation abruptly stopped, and then she covered her mouth, overjoyed and crying, "Oh my god, what did I miss?"

Xie Lingqin's eyelids twitched as she looked at Yuwen Yao, wondering how he could say such ambiguous words with such confidence.

And kisses...

"Crown Prince..."

"Miss……"

At this moment, Tingfeng and Zihe also landed at the same time, standing beside Yu Qingyi, not understanding why Prince Yi had such a big reaction.

"So it really is... Heavens..." Yu Qingyi's expression was so complicated, a mix of colors. It seemed that in just a short while, he had connected all the things he didn't understand and couldn't figure out with what was happening before him, and found the truth.

"Stop yelling, or you'll attract attention." Xie Lingqin said, slightly annoyed, seemingly scolding Yu Qingyi, but her eyes swept towards Yuwen Yao.

However, this guy was in a good mood and clearly did not show any sign of stopping it.

Tingfeng and Zihe were even more confused.

What exactly happened? Just now, they only saw Miss Lingqin being forcibly dragged behind the artificial hill by the Crown Prince, and then not long after, they saw the Crown Prince sweep Miss Lingqin away. They searched for a long time before finally finding her here.

"Ahem." Xie Lingqin remained calm. The Crown Prince was useless, so she could only rely on her own strong mind to keep herself calm and prevent Zihe and Tingfeng from pursuing the matter further. She coughed lightly and looked at Yu Qingyi seriously, "Young Master Yi, have you finished your business?"

"Ah, the matter?" After the initial shock, Yu Qingyi reacted, and a smug smile flashed across his face. "The matter you asked me to do earlier, I did it very well."

Upon hearing this, Xie Lingqin's interest was piqued, and a smile flashed across her eyes. "Let's go and take a look." After taking a few steps, she thought for a moment, then turned back and whispered to the Crown Prince, "Well, our matter needs to be discussed properly. You, don't act rashly, don't say anything reckless. Everything should be as good as before."

Yuwen Yao thought for a moment and nodded, "Mm."

He nodded gently and attentively.

His appearance and expression almost startled Xie Faqin, because he was so gentle.

However, if the crown prince continues to be this obedient...

"Then let's go see it together."

Xie Lingqin was lost in thought when suddenly her waist tightened. The Crown Prince had already lifted her up with a light touch of his toes.

this……

"Yuwen Yao, can you please keep a low profile? If people find out about you and me... I'll die a horrible death! You're the Crown Prince, and I'm Xie Lingqin, the legitimate daughter of the General's Mansion! Your father wants me dead every minute! Let him know, and your position as Crown Prince is in jeopardy..."
