"You mean she misses me?" Xiao Lei scoffed. "That Ning Su, she actually thinks of me?"
He spoke as if it were the truth. If he hadn't received Ning Su's video call beforehand, he probably would have believed it.
"It's true, Your Highness. When I went to her house before, I saw her still crying." The Crown Prince's reaction was a bit odd! Generally speaking, upon seeing each other's eyes...
Hearing his former fiancée miss him so much, shouldn't he be moved to tears? Instead, the Crown Prince just stared at Jieli with a detached expression.
Something's not right. Why would he react like this? Not only was he not moved at all, but there seemed to be a hint of sarcasm in his voice.
"Does Your Highness not believe what I say?" Jieli asked with a hint of trepidation.
She forced a smile, trying to make herself look more poised.
However, after being looked at by Xiao Lei, he immediately hesitated.
“Ning Su was right, you really did use her name to speak.” Seeing Jie Li’s slightly bewildered look, Xiao Lei patted her shoulder and whispered in her ear.
"What?"
Jieli's eyes widened. "Your Highness, what did you mean just now?" What did she mean by Ning Su hitting the nail on the head? What did Ning Su say? What exactly did that bitch say to Your Highness?
“She’s deliberately trying to smear me because she’s ashamed to face His Highness, so she’s jealous of me.”
You're saying she's jealous of you?
Xiao Lei raised an eyebrow.
Although he preferred Kana, he had to admit that Ning Su was an outstanding woman—from a good family, beautiful and talented, though a bit cunning. But, which woman from a noble family was easy to mess with?
Ning Su's temper is already considered good.
“Yes, because there’s no possibility between her and His Highness anymore, but I’m different…” Jieli said, her cheeks flushed, her voice tinged with shyness.
"You mean, there's still a possibility between you and me?"
This was truly the funniest joke he had ever heard.
He remembered Jieli's father; he seemed to be just an ordinary businessman.
The family was quite wealthy, but they did not hold any noble titles.
How could a prince like him be with a woman like that? Where does her blind confidence come from?
To be honest, if it weren't for Ning Su, he really wouldn't remember this woman.
"Your Highness?"
Sensing the strong sarcasm in Xiao Lei's tone, Jie Li's expression momentarily dazed.
Yes, Jie Li is just the daughter of a small businessman. In the past few years, because she has been following Ning Su around every day and has Ning Su protecting her, everyone has respected her. This has given her the illusion that her status is not bad.
Although her family didn't hold a noble title, they were wealthy...
It wasn't until this time, without Ning Su's help, that she didn't even have the right to enter the banquet, and she clearly felt the difference between nobles and the wealthy.
"Your Highness, please give me a chance. I will definitely work hard to become a woman worthy of you," Jieli said after a long silence, clenching her fist.
"You're a good girl, but you're not my type."
Xiao Lei ruffled Jie Li's hair and turned to leave.
Watching Xiao Lei's tall figure disappear into the distance.
Jieli's eyes instantly welled up with tears.
At that moment, she inexplicably began to hate Ning Su.
Ning Su was sitting in the courtyard, drinking milk and gazing at the stars in the sky.
The sky is filled with stars.
I wonder which planet her brother is on now.
Is there any danger?
It's all that damned Xiao Lei's fault. If he hadn't framed my brother for colluding with space pirates, my brother would have been back long ago, instead of still wandering in space.
"Ning Su, get out here right now."
Just as Ning Su finished drinking the milk in her hand, a roar came from the doorway, startling her so much that she spat out all the milk in her mouth.
"What the hell? Where did this lunatic come from, shouting and yelling at my doorstep?"
"Miss, I'll go and bring her in."
The butler, Hoss, went out with a frown.
A moment later, she came in with a furious-looking Jieli.
When Jieli saw Ning Su's leisurely demeanor, she couldn't help but get angry. She took two steps forward, raised her hand, and prepared to strike.
"Miss Jieli, what are you planning to do?"
Bili frowned, holding Jieli's hand tightly to prevent her from waving it away.
"Let go of me, or I won't let you off the hook."
Jieli snorted coldly, her voice indifferent.
But Billie remained unmoved, instead squeezing her hand tighter and tighter.
"I'm not Miss Billie's maid. I'd like to see how Miss Jelly will not let me off the hook."
No wonder the young lady didn't want to play with her anymore; this girl must be out of her mind.
They actually dared to act arrogantly in someone else's home.
"Jieli, if you're going to come to my house and beat someone up, you'd better leave now."
Ning Su took another sip of milk.
His expression was indifferent.
"I didn't hit anyone for no reason." Ning Su was surrounded by more and more people.
Knowing she was no match for them, Jieli angrily lowered her hand.
"Aren't we good friends? If we're good friends, why are you treating me like this?"
"What did I do to you?" Ning Su raised her eyes. "Tell me, what did I do to you?"
"Why did you speak such nonsense to the Crown Prince? Can't you stand to see me doing well?"
"Pfft." Ning Su put down the milk in her hand. "To be honest, your confidence is something I can never match."
"What?"
"If I couldn't stand to see you doing well, I wouldn't have given you this invitation."
"Then why did you say those irrelevant things to the Crown Prince, causing him to misunderstand me?" Jieli said, stamping her foot.
"What did I say to you? Has His Highness the Crown Prince told me what I said?"
"No, that's not true, but the Crown Prince said that it's because of you that he's unwilling to accept me."
"..." Only a fool would believe him; this guy is too vengeful.
"Speechless now? What exactly did you say to the Crown Prince?"
“What did I say? I told the Crown Prince that I have no interest in him whatsoever, and if you approach him in my name, it’s all a lie.”
"Ahhh..." Jieli screamed and tried to pounce on him.
"You're such a mean person, how could you say that?"
How can you say that?
"What else? Just let you ruin my reputation?" She wasn't that stupid.
She'll have to wait for her brother to come back eventually.
"I never intended to ruin your reputation."
"Are you talking nonsense to the Crown Prince?"
"I--"
"Perhaps you will tell the Crown Prince that I am heartbroken and weeping every night because I miss him so much, which is why I asked you to go and see him?"
