"I never expected to run into the young master here..." she said, glancing meaningfully at a woman standing next to Long Tianyi.
Long Tianyi felt her gaze, turned around to look at the woman, then at Sang Rui, whose eyes were red and who was still wiping away tears, and waved his hand irritably at the woman.
The woman curtsied to the group and then tactfully left, but before she did, she gave Long Tianyi a meaningful look.
Sang Rui was so angry that she almost had a meltdown on the spot.
Long Tianyi nodded and explained softly to Sang Rui, "I'm here to discuss some things with a few friends. It's all just for show."
He didn't need to explain so much to Sang Rui, but right now he still needed the Sang family's support, so he still had to coax Sang Rui.
Sang Rui gave a pale smile: "Your Highness, there's no need to explain anything. I understand."
Although he said he understood, the words "Crown Prince" still made Long Tianyi sense a sense of estrangement.
He took Sang Rui's hand and said softly, "Rui'er, I know I've neglected you these past few days. It's mainly because I've been too busy lately. I promise you, I won't do it again, okay?"
Hearing this, Sang Rui nodded knowingly: "Yi, I believe you."
The reason she was able to hold onto Long Tianyi's heart for so long was because she knew when to stop.
What Long Tianyi liked most about her was her understanding nature. Hearing her words, he breathed a slight sigh of relief and reached out to take Sang Rui's hand: "Rui'er, I'll take you back. It's too dangerous for a young lady like you to come here alone, especially since you're sick."
"Yes, Yi, thank you." Sang Rui smiled and nodded at him.
Then the little bird nestled beside him.
Once the two had walked away, Miss Wang couldn't help but chuckle, "Young Master Tianyi is so considerate. No wonder Miss Zhang is so fond of him."
Upon hearing this, Miss Zhang glared at her, stood up, and curtsied to Princess Yongping, saying, "Your Highness, I am feeling unwell and will be returning home first."
Princess Anping nodded upon hearing this, pretending not to know. She said softly, "Did you drink too much? Qianqian, please see Miss Zhang off for me. You must make sure Miss Zhang gets back safely, otherwise I will not feel at ease."
Qianqian nodded upon hearing this: "Princess, please rest assured, this servant will definitely send Miss Zhang back safely."
Miss Zhang's face darkened further upon hearing this. She looked at Princess Anping and forced a smile, saying, "I appreciate Your Highness's kindness, but I can go back on my own. There's no need to trouble Your Highness so much."
How could she not see that Princess Anping wasn't sending someone to escort her, but rather that she had seen through her intentions and sent someone to watch over her and laugh at her?
Princess Anping's smile faded: "Miss Zhang, you don't need to be so polite. Xuan Yu will be back to pick me up later. If something happens to you after drinking, I can't bear the responsibility."
After saying that, he waved his hand to indicate that they could leave.
She understood that Miss Zhang was planning to stop Long Tianyi and pretend to bump into him. She wanted to see her make a fool of herself and see her fail to stop him.
Miss Zhang stood there awkwardly. She didn't want Qianqian to follow her at all, but Long Tianyi was about to leave Huaifengyue. If she missed him this time, she didn't know when she would be able to see him again.
She often came to Huai Feng Yue hoping to bump into Long Tianyi, to linger in front of him, and to attract his attention.
