Liu Yuanmeng completely ignored Yi Chenqi's words and instead walked around to place the snacks on the desk.
"It's so late, Yuanmeng thought the Crown Prince was still awake, so she made him a midnight snack herself."
Liu Yuanmeng looked around the study. She knew that Yi Chenqi always kept his distance, knowing that he didn't like others entering. Even when she brought him late-night snacks, she would have his eunuch deliver them. This was the first time she had come in person.
Her surveying gaze swept across the area, carrying more of a sense of territorial assertion.
She saw the drawer that wasn't closed, and the candy inside.
She reached out and took one: "Where is this candy from? I've never seen it before."
Yi Chenqi instinctively snatched the candy from Liu Yuanmeng's hand, carefully put it back, and closed the drawer.
"Don't touch my things. I'm not eating, you can go back."
Yi Chenqi's tone clearly indicated that he was not welcoming.
"Liu Yuanmeng, you heard what happened today. I've already given you the letter of divorce. I know it's unfair to you. You can tell me what you want, and I will do my best to make it up to you. As for Lord Liu, regardless of whether you become the Crown Princess or not, I will do my best to help him."
But Liu Yuanmeng didn't leave. In front of Yi Chenqi, she tore up the letter of divorce.
She rushed forward and hugged Yi Chenqi from behind: "Yuan Meng only wants the Crown Prince, please don't send Yuan Meng away."
“The Crown Prince likes Miss An. Yuanmeng can give up her position as Crown Princess to her, even if she is only a concubine. Yuanmeng does not want to leave the Crown Prince.”
Yi Chenqi released her hand: "I'm sorry, I can't."
Yi Chenqi's attitude left no room for negotiation.
Liu Yuanmeng broke down in tears, sobbing uncontrollably: "Chenqi, do you know how long Yuanmeng has liked you? Six whole years. When Yuanmeng was little, she was short and not pretty, so I could only secretly follow behind you with most people, watching you. In order to get closer to you, Yuanmeng worked hard to become outstanding. Later, I really became beautiful and a talented woman. I thought I could finally stand in front of the person I loved, but why have you never even glanced at me?"
"That candy, it's hers, isn't it? I thought you liked Han Yuanyuan, and you tried so hard to get close to her and imitate her. But I was such a fool, only finding out today that you actually like that An Yuan'er?"
“What does An Yuan’er have? How many days of schooling did she attend? She’s not a proper young lady at all. She doesn’t know etiquette and has never interacted with the ladies of Shengjing. If she has anything, it’s only her face. But I don’t think Chen Qi is such a shallow man who would be bewitched by beauty. Besides, she’s the Sixth Prince’s woman, and she doesn’t love you. I don’t understand, what exactly do you like about her?”
An Yuan'er was unconventional; she did many things that many women would never dare to do in their entire lives.
Liu Yuanmeng knew clearly that she could never become An Yuan'er in her entire life.
Yi Chenqi sat at his desk, his lazy gaze sweeping over Liu Yuanmeng: "What's so good about Xiao Yuan'er? What do I like about her? I never need to say anything to an outsider. You say you've liked me for six years, then I can only say that I've liked her for far longer than you've liked me. You can't imagine what she means to me."
"Hahahaha." Liu Yuanmeng laughed somewhat maniacally.
"Outsider? Am I an outsider?"
"She's Xiao Yuan'er, so what am I?"
Liu Yuanmeng should have been a lady, but right now, she was like a madwoman, wreaking havoc on Yi Chenqi's study.
