She spoke so casually, so nonchalantly, her eyes filled with indifference towards the world and its affairs.
The eldest princess: "......." The shock she felt was indescribable.
Cheng Xianyi had intended to use the current situation in the Zhou family to bring things to light and make it clear to her that Zhou Cheng's sudden return was not out of love, but out of manipulation, and that it was all for the purpose of protecting Lin Jiaoyun.
Using this as a pretext, he persuaded Cheng Xianyi to annul the engagement.
In this way, the eldest princess could easily separate the two.
But the princess never expected that Cheng Xianyi would be so persistent in her feelings for Zhou Cheng!
This shocked the princess so much that she couldn't find the words to persuade her!
"you........"
It took the princess a long while to suppress the complex emotions in her eyes. She smiled dignifiedly and calmly: "You really are deeply in love with Young Master Zhou. I was truly shocked just now and lost my composure."
"I just don't know what's so good about Young Master Zhou that makes Miss Cheng so devoted to him?"
Cheng Xianyi rested her chin on her hand, her eyes shining like stars: "Very good, everything is good."
"For example?"
"For example, it's great in every way."
The eldest princess: "......."
The conversation just wouldn't go on anymore.
The princess took a deep breath and continued to ask in a gentle tone, "As far as I know, you and Young Master Zhou are not close, so why are you willing to sacrifice everything to become his stepping stone?"
"Is Miss Cheng so desperate for him? Can't you see the other girls?"
“It’s not a stepping stone,” Cheng Xianyi said earnestly.
"Oh? What's that?"
"A stepping stone—it will hurt if he steps on it for too long. Let's put it another way."
The eldest princess: "......."
The princess's eyebrows twitched incessantly. She took a sip of tea, feeling awkward and speechless, and couldn't bring herself to ask another question.
That's all for today.
Cheng Xianyi wouldn't listen to reason; she was determined to die with Zhou Cheng.
The eldest princess couldn't understand what was so good about Zhou Cheng that made her so determined to be with him.
How stupid!
If they want to help the Crown Prince's younger brother protect Cheng Xianyi, they have no choice but to start with Zhou Cheng.
After the flower viewing banquet, Cheng Xianyi returned to the Cheng residence with a satisfied heart, while Lin Jiaoyun returned to the Lin residence with a heavy heart, her mind filled with the conversation she had overheard.
"Sister Yun, you're finally back!"
"How have you been lately? I just heard that Zhou Cheng, that scoundrel, is actually engaged to Cheng Xianyi! How dare he! I'm so angry!"
"Why does he love so deeply when he says he loves you, but then remain silent when he says he wants to give up? What does he take you for? A plaything he can summon and dismiss at will? I was blind to have spoken well of him back then, ugh."
The young lady in the blue dress was waiting for Lin Jiaoyun at the Lin residence early in the morning.
Upon seeing Lin Jiaoyun return from the flower-viewing banquet, she immediately began to angrily berate Zhou Cheng.
After finishing her tirade, the woman in the blue dress cautiously glanced at Lin Jiaoyun's face. She knew better than anyone what kind of person her sister was.
She expected to see shame, anger, pain, and regret on Lin Jiaoyun's face.
But to everyone's surprise—
