"Let's go find Shi Xi!"
"Walk!"
A group of noble ladies were swayed by this, lifting their skirts and marching aggressively toward Shi Xi.
Horry, watching all this from the shadows, sneered.
"Trying to outsmart me? Humph!"
*
Shi Xi was pushed away by Ruian entirely because she had no choice in the matter.
She sits in a wheelchair, and others can move her around by simply holding the handles of her wheelchair.
Thinking that she would be rescued today, Shi Xi's eyes were filled with a smile.
hapiness.
“Keep your distance from Horry,” Ryan whispered a reminder. “Just stay close to me and don’t wander off.”
"I know," Shi Xi replied perfunctorily.
"What did Bernita say to you just now?" Ryan pushed Shi Xi towards the dessert area and gave her a box of strawberry pudding.
Shi Xi's eyes lit up.
They even have strawberry pudding!
"She didn't say anything." Shi Xi reached out to take the strawberry pudding.
"Hmm?" Ryan withdrew his hand and asked with a smile, "Didn't you say anything?"
Shi Xi: ...
Men are such a hassle.
“She doesn’t want me to marry you, and she asked me to persuade you to cancel our wedding.” Shi Xi shrugged.
"I see." Ryan smiled slightly and handed the strawberry pudding to Shi Xi.
Shi Xi resisted the urge to roll her eyes.
She didn't understand.
Ryan and Bernita clearly like each other, so why are they doing this?
What is it about her that makes her worthy of Ryan's marriage?
Because it's pretty?
Shi Xi sighed.
She knew that being too beautiful wasn't a good thing.
A beautiful woman can be a source of trouble.
With her mind wandering, Shi Xi had already tasted the strawberry pudding.
The sweet and soft pudding is very delicious.
Ryan wanted to keep a close eye on Shi Xi, but as the eldest prince, he had too many people trying to strike up a conversation with him.
Ryan's phone vibrated. He glanced at the message and frowned slightly.
"Go ahead and do what you need to do. I'll just eat pudding here. Nothing will happen to me." Shi Xi waved her hand, indicating that he was free to do as he pleased.
She longed to be alone.
Ryan hesitated for a moment, thinking that Shi Xi should not be bullied at the banquet, and said, "I'll be right back."
Seeing that Ryan had left, Shi Xi slowly ate her pudding, waiting for the person who would come to pick her up.
Xie Yunzhou only said that he would rescue her today.
But it didn't say when.
While eating pudding, Shi Xi sensed that danger was spreading!
Under normal circumstances, she could dodge it immediately.
But since she was in a wheelchair, Shi Xi's movements were a beat slower.
A full glass of red wine was poured over her!
It was supposed to be poured over her head, but Shi Xi moved slightly, and the red wine splashed onto her chest, soaking her clothes.
A few drops of red wine glistened on her fair neck.
"Oh dear, I'm so sorry~ I didn't see anyone here." The brown-haired noblewoman covered her mouth and laughed, "I hope Your Highness isn't angry?"
Another short-haired noblewoman laughed and said, "It's not your fault. The princess is in a wheelchair; she can't see you unless she looks down."
The noble ladies who followed along laughed and joked, telling Shi Xi not to be angry.
"Princess, please don't be angry. I have a handkerchief here—"
Oh dear, how did it fall to the ground?
Oops, I didn't step on it on purpose.
It can still be used even when it's dirty.
When it comes to bullying, if one person takes the lead, others will follow suit.
Moreover, they can always excuse it by saying "it wasn't intentional".
Shi Xi's eyes were indifferent.
The pudding in my hand was half-eaten, and red wine had seeped into it, making it look quite messy.
Shi Xi looked at the person who had spilled her red wine and asked, "Who are you?"
The noblewoman who spilled the red wine said haughtily, "I am the Queen's niece, Russell Leticia."
