Chapter 457 Extra - Heart-to-Heart Talk
Ye Qingning looked over and saw that the woman's beige outfit made her look warm and vibrant, which was particularly eye-catching in this gloomy and rainy season.
Besides her clothing, her features were also exceptionally gentle and delicate, with almond-shaped eyes, a straight nose, and a small mouth.
Despite her delicate and refined appearance, her inexplicably bright and piercing eyes and the powerful and energetic way she walked gave her an aura that was open, clear, and extraordinary.
She was a little different from the composed, wise, and beautiful heroine she had in mind.
It has a more decisive and efficient feel to it.
In that short while, Shu Tong also subtly observed Ye Qingning. Like Ye Qingning, Shu Tong also felt that the Crown Princess was different from what she had imagined.
The book describes her as exceptionally intelligent, but also somewhat arrogant, and given her status as the legitimate daughter of a prominent family, she naturally has a sense of superiority that makes her look down on everyone.
But the Crown Princess in front of me, who was focused on petting the cat, had a gentle and elegant demeanor, and her eyes showed no arrogance or desire.
She's such a cute and cuddly girl that you just want to take care of her.
Regardless, Shu Tong still greeted her with great respect: "This concubine greets Your Highness the Crown Princess."
"No need, sister, please sit down." Ye Qingning was very warm, after all, her and Ayan's happy life depended on Shu Tong.
Shu Tong sat down and looked at the pure white kitten that Ye Qingning was holding, her heart filled with affection: "Sister, this cat is so cute."
Ye Qingning's gaze softened as she looked at the cat: "My little darling, Abao."
Shu Tong raised her hand to touch it, but A Bao took a step back, looking wary.
Ye Qingning patted its head reassuringly: "Good boy, Abao, go play by yourself."
Abao meowed and lay down next to Ye Qingning, resting its head on her lap, looking quite content.
Shu Tong turned her gaze away from A Bao and looked up to speak to Ye Qingning: "This morning, His Highness the Crown Prince went to Wutong Residence..."
She paused, her gaze searching Ye Qingning's face, but instead of seeing any anger or frustration, she saw a hint of interest.
He even asked her, with particular delight, "And then?"
Shu Tong concealed the complexity in her eyes and said, "His Highness the Crown Prince said that my sister has been in a bad mood lately, and asked me to come and talk to you. He also asked me many ways to cheer you up."
She smiled and looked at Ye Qingning: "Sister, His Highness the Crown Prince is truly fond of you."
A thoughtful look appeared in Ye Qingning's eyes. This thought must not appear in the female lead's mind, since female leads usually like male leads who are devoted and faithful.
She quickly explained, "Sister, you're overthinking it. It's just because I did some things for His Highness. His Highness only treats me like a subordinate."
She smiled and said, "In my opinion, my sister and His Highness the Crown Prince are a better match. I have high hopes for you two."
Speaking of His Highness the Crown Prince...
Shu Tong said seriously, lowering her voice: "Sister, I came here to have a heart-to-heart talk with you. I am just a wild girl who is used to living a carefree life in the countryside. I feel very uncomfortable in this bustling place, and I have no desire for wealth and luxury."
She sighed softly, "I only wish that one day you and His Highness the Crown Prince would fall in love and live happily ever after. I would prefer to be a carefree maid, and that you would kindly let me leave the manor. That would be such a wonderful life."
Ye Qingning was stunned for a moment. What did that mean?
She doesn't want to be the Crown Princess?
Don't you want the Crown Prince's favor?
That won't do!
If she doesn't fall in love with the Crown Prince, she and Ayan will be trapped in this storyline forever.
This is not the ending she wanted.
