Su Lixia gestured for her to stop and said, "That's not necessary. A mature princess knows how to sleep on her own." Then she nudged Xiao Lian.
"Then Princess, please rest well."
"You too." After saying that, Su Lixia slammed the door shut without any hesitation.
Then, she excitedly climbed the stairs, and as soon as she got up there, she saw a cozy little house. Su Lixia plopped down on the tatami mat and exclaimed excitedly, "Wow, this is so wonderful! It's so comfortable!"
Meanwhile, Lin Ziwen had already returned to his room, where Yi Zexuan was casually sipping his tea.
"What I wanted to say today wasn't anything important, so why did you come all this way? Could it be because of the princess?"
Yi Zexuan hummed in agreement and said without any hesitation, "I still mean the same thing."
Lin Ziwen shook his head helplessly and said, "I'm pretty good at recognizing people. You'll see in time. Even if she has some ulterior motives, it won't affect us. After all, they're on our side."
"This remains to be confirmed, but this princess has always liked handsome men. She had previously harbored feelings for me, and now you're no exception. Be careful that she doesn't abandon you if she finds someone better. So it's best not to get too attached."
Lin Ziwen chuckled and said, "Secretly harboring feelings for her? You actually said that? I think the prince is serious."
Upon hearing this, Yi Zexuan narrowed his eyes slightly and said, "I don't care too much about this matter. You can think and say whatever you want. I've also reminded you that if things get out of control, I won't show you any mercy."
"Sigh!" Lin Ziwen sighed deeply and said helplessly, "I know, I know. When the time comes, I'll kidnap her too. It won't interfere with your grand plan."
"Hmm." Yi Zexuan gave a muffled "hmm," then walked past him and left.
Lin Ziwen called out from behind him, "It's still the same one as before, it hasn't been touched."
The latter remained silent. Lin Ziwen rolled his eyes at him and muttered to himself, "I don't know what's wrong with him lately, he's been so long-winded and worried about this and that."
Meanwhile, some people's wall-climbing habit resurfaced. Yi Zexuan sat on the roof, gazing into the distance: "Women are inherently obstacles to career advancement. I just hope this woman isn't using some kind of honey trap or has some premeditated scheme."
It's not that Yi Zexuan is suspicious. Although the female lead is Yi Zexuan's white moonlight in the original book, there isn't much romance between them. Instead, the female lead is quiet, doesn't fight or compete, and sometimes even says things that can enlighten him. The two fight side by side and walk together to the end. Along the way, the female lead doesn't directly harm anyone, but she indirectly hurts quite a few people. For example, Su Lixia is a scumbag female supporting character who doesn't even survive three episodes in the TV series.
What Yi Zexuan needs most is for his brothers who fight alongside him not to be swayed by their emotions and thus delay important matters. It's not too late to deal with it after the important matters are over.
Meanwhile, Su Lixia, who was thinking about how to complete the mission and go home early, was already lying on the tatami mat, drooling, and having a sweet dream.
The next day, Yi Zexuan left early in the morning. Lin Ziwen sent someone to call Su Lixia for breakfast. Xiao Lian looked troubled at the door and said, "The princess is still asleep. She probably won't get up until noon."
"Huh?" The servant boy exclaimed in surprise, scratched his head, and said, "Alright then, I'll go and tell the young master."
"good."
After the servant told Lin Ziwen about it, the latter shook his head and smiled, saying, "You may leave now. Let's go after lunch."
