My eyes widened and my jaw dropped to the ground. This rude girl was really passionate!

Li Rui obviously didn't expect Ah Man to do this suddenly. He pushed Ah Man away violently, his face full of surprise and confusion.

"Ah Man, calm down!"

After being pushed away, Ah Man's eyes dimmed a little, but she quickly sorted out her emotions, looked directly into Li Rui's eyes, and said firmly: "Prince, Ah Man's feelings for you are evident to all! Ah Man's life was given to him by your side. In this life, Ah Man is willing to follow you, even if..."

"Enough!" Li Rui interrupted her with a barely perceptible irritation in his voice, "Ah Man, back then, it was just a piece of cake for me to save you. You don't have to take it to heart, and you don't have to..."

"Prince!" Ah Man's voice suddenly rose a few pitches, his eyes full of hurt, "Is Ah Man so unbearable in your eyes? I want to repay you for saving my life, is that wrong?"

I stood aside, watching the tense atmosphere between the two, and secretly sighed in my heart, this ancient love story is really complicated!

"Ah Man, you misunderstood." Li Rui rubbed his brows, seeming to have a headache, "That's not what I meant, it's..."

"What is it?" Ah Man pressed closer and closer, tears welling up in his eyes, and I felt pity for him.

Li Rui opened his mouth as if he wanted to explain something, but in the end he said nothing.

"My Lord, do you think that I am too humble to be worthy of you?" Ah Man's voice choked up, and tears finally fell, "I know that I am an orphan, powerless and incompetent, and I am not worthy of you at all..."

"Ah Man!" Li Rui stretched out his hand to wipe the tears from Ah Man's face, but she dodged him.

"Prince, you don't need to say anything, I understand." Ah Man took a few steps back and said in a sad tone, "Since Prince, you don't like Ah Man, then Ah Man will never appear in front of you again."

After saying that, Ah Man turned around and wanted to leave.

"Silly!" Li Rui saw this and quickly reached out and grabbed her wrist.

"Is there anything else, Your Majesty?" Ah Man turned around and asked in a cold tone.

Li Rui looked at Ah Man's red eyes, and felt mixed emotions. He opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but in the end he said nothing.

"My Lord, the fate between you and me has ended. Let's say goodbye now." Ah Man shook off Li Rui's hand forcefully and left without looking back.

I looked at Ah Man's back as he left, then looked at Li Rui who was standing there with a gloomy expression, and suddenly a bold idea came to my mind.

"Prince, do you like the girl from the Rou family?" I approached Li Rui and asked with a gossipy look on my face.

Li Rui was startled by my sudden question. He came to his senses and looked at me with a warning look in his eyes.

"Lin Qingya, you'd better mind your own business!"

"Hey, Prince, don't be so fierce!" I said with a smile, "Look at you, the girl has left heartbroken, and you are still here pretending to be deep, what's the point?"

"What do you know!" Li Rui glared at me and said unhappily, "The relationship between Ah Man and I is not what you think!"

"Oh? What's that?" I raised my eyebrows and looked at him in disbelief.

Li Rui opened his mouth, wanting to explain, but in the end he said nothing. He sighed and said tiredly, "Lin Qingya, there are some things you don't understand."

"I don't understand?" I pointed at my nose and looked at him in disbelief. "Prince, you say that as if I'm a child who knows nothing! Let me tell you, although I, Lin Qingya, come from the countryside, I have also seen the world. I know much more about love between men and women than you do!"

"You..." Li Rui was so angry at me that he was speechless.

"What's wrong with me?" I put my hands on my hips and stared at him without showing any weakness. "My Lord, I advise you to recognize your feelings as soon as possible! Don't wait until you lose her to regret it!"

Li Rui looked at me with a complicated expression. After a long while, he slowly opened his mouth and said, "Lin Qingya, do you really think there is a possibility between me and Ah Man?"

I was stunned for a moment. I had never thought about this question.

Yes, what is Li Rui's identity? A dignified prince! And what about Ah Man? She is an orphan with no power or influence. There is a huge gap between their identities and status. Is it really possible?

"My Lord, you..."

I was about to say something when suddenly, the sound of hurried footsteps interrupted me.

"Your Highness, something bad has happened!" A guard ran over in a panic, his face pale as he said, "Something has happened in the palace...in the palace!"
