"How can the prince help me and the prince?" Yu Tanqi asked softly.

Yun Xuan looked at the graceful girl in front of him and suddenly walked towards her.

Yu Tanqi was so frightened that he stepped back subconsciously, a little panicked: "What are you going to do?"

The girl's sweet and soft voice trembled with uneasiness.

She is afraid of him.

Yun Xuan suddenly realized this, stopped and looked at Yu Tanqi with a puzzled expression.

"Some things can't be said in public. Miss Yu doesn't want to go to the restaurant's private room with me to discuss in detail, so I have to move closer to Miss Yu to prevent others from hearing. Is that not okay?"

"Of course not." Yu Tanqi frowned without thinking, "Because we are in public, Your Majesty cannot get too close to me, so as not to attract criticism."

Yun Xuan chuckled, "Miss Yu is indeed a noble lady from the Chenjun Xie family. She is truly self-disciplined and respectful. I really admire her."

Yu Tanqi had a feeling that what he said was not a good thing.

But she played dumb and said, "Thank you for the compliment, Your Highness."

Yun Xuan looked at her without saying a word.

The atmosphere began to stagnate.

Yu Tanqi missed Jiang Shi very much. She felt safe with him by her side.

She felt very stressed facing Yun Xuan, who was extremely oppressive, alone.

Jiang Shi and Yun Xuan are two people with completely different personalities.

Jiang Shi is gentle and polite to everyone and rarely embarrasses others unless they really annoy him.

Yun Xuan has an introverted personality. In the original novel, he is profit-driven and unscrupulous. Apart from being nice to his own sister, he rarely shows even superficial politeness to other people.

Yun Xuan revealed his aloof and strong personality after just a few words.

For example, now.

"Miss Yu seems to have some prejudice against me." Yun Xuan said in a low voice.

"That's not true." Yu Tanqi naturally wouldn't admit it.

"Then why do you never look up at me every time you see me? Is it because I'm too ugly?"

"No, the prince is a famous handsome man in the capital, and I already have a fiancé, so it's not appropriate for me to stare at the prince's face."

"But you never looked at me."

“…”

Yu Tanqi felt puzzled and resisted the urge to look up.

Why did he feel bothered whether she looked at him or not?

The original novel doesn't say that Yun Xuan is a narcissist who likes others to stare at him.

"The prince doesn't need me to watch over him." She couldn't help but say.

Yunxuan stopped talking again.

He stared at Yu Tanqi's little face.

She kept her head slightly lowered, her long and thick eyelashes fluttering gently, covering her beautiful and lively eyes.

Under his gaze, the girl's rosy lips were nervously pursed, her long crow-feather eyelashes trembled slightly, but she stubbornly refused to look up at him.

It was like he was some kind of monster, and just one look at him would give her nightmares.

A hint of mockery appeared at the corner of Yun Xuan's lips.

Some words would only embarrass him.

He didn't know what was wrong with him. He was just a girl. Even if Yu Tanqi was Jiang Shi's fiancée, he shouldn't bother with her.

Obviously, at the beginning, she gave him the impression of being just an ordinary timid girl.

And apart from Yun Shu's birthday party last year, they have had no direct contact since then.

When did his mind gradually fall on Yu Tanqi?

Perhaps it was the look on Yu Tanqi's face when he looked at Jiang that attracted him.

The girl he originally thought was timid, actually looked at Jiang Shi with such serious and bright eyes, and her smile was so sweet and brilliant that it reminded people of the warm and bright sunshine.

Why did she look at Jiang Shi like that?

Why did Jiang Shi deserve such sincere love from her?

It is obvious that Jiang Shi should be alone with nothing. No matter how gentle he pretends to be, he cannot hide the loneliness in his heart.

But since Yu Tanqi appeared, Jiang Shi is no longer alone, and she can even block arrows for him.

At that time, they had only been together for three months.

How could a timid girl take such a serious arrow wound for a fiancé she had only been with for less than three months?

Is it because of feelings, or because Jiang Shi is her fiancé?

Yun Xuan wanted to ask, but didn't know how to ask.

Yu Tanqi probably wouldn't answer either.

Although she didn't look at him, he could tell from her expression that she was wary of him.

Jiang Shi had been with her for a year and perhaps told her everything, so it seemed reasonable for her to treat him like this.

He doesn't need to care.

But Yunxuan always wondered, what made Jiang Shi so sincere to Yu Tanqi?

Jiang Shi should be alone like him.

Yun Xuan remained silent for too long, and Yu Tanqi no longer had the patience to stand here with him.

"If Your Highness has nothing else to say, I will leave first. It is already dark, and it would be better for Your Highness to return home and rest early." Quickly take your carriage and your guards away and block her way.

"Compared to me, Miss Yu should go back home. After all, it's useless for you to go to the Dali Temple now, and you may not even be able to meet Prince Jiang." Yun Xuan finally opened his lips to speak, but his voice was cold, just like the feeling he gave people.

"Even if it's useless, I still want to see my fiancé. Otherwise, I will be uneasy and unable to sleep at night." Yu Tanqi's words were heavy and affectionate. Even Yun Xuan couldn't help being moved after hearing them.

She really cares about Jiang Shi.

Yun Xuan stared at Yu Tanqi, feeling as if his heart was stabbed by something, a little painful, a little stuffy, and a little blocked.

What exactly does Jiang Shi rely on?

Yun Xuan couldn't help but ask, "Do you really care so much about Prince Jiang?"

Yu Tanqi said without hesitation: "Of course, he is my fiancé, the one I have believed in since childhood to be my lifelong companion."

Yun Xuan had never felt that the word "fiancé" was so harsh.

He said coldly, "Then you know that the man you have chosen to be with for life may not only have you in his heart."

Yu Tanqi frowned, a little unhappy: "You are not him, how do you know that I am not the only one in his heart?"

"Miss Yu has rarely left the house since arriving in the capital, so she doesn't know what Prince Jiang has been doing outside the capital, nor how many rumors are circulating about him. You know, he is gentle and considerate with you, and he is also gentle and considerate with other women."

"That's his nature. I trusted him and he betrayed me. Besides, most of the rumors are just lies. Could it be that the prince is also someone who believes everything he hears?"

The girl who bowed her head timidly in front of him was amazingly eloquent when she mentioned her fiancé.

Yun Xuan's eyes darkened. "Why do you trust him? Did he promise or swear to you?"

Yu Tanqi said seriously and firmly, "He doesn't need to promise or swear. I firmly believe in him and will not easily misunderstand him because of a few words from outsiders."

The night had completely darkened, and the lanterns on both sides of the road were lit high. Under the dim candlelight, the girl was dressed in green, elegant and soft, with a fair face and a holy expression, like a goddess in the mist, making people want to peek further.
