Li Li naturally believed in her ability, but what she didn't understand was why Jing Naisheng wanted to help her for no reason?
Could it be that it’s really for the Crown Prince?
Li Li took a deep breath and said directly, "Rather than saying that Miss Jing is helping me, it's better to say that I am helping Miss Jing, right?"
Jing Naisheng suddenly stopped drinking. Her eyes were sharp, revealing coldness and determination. She didn't expect that this woman was not so stupid.
"What's the difference?" Jing Naisheng put down his wine glass and looked up at her. "Anyway, it's a win-win for both of us."
"As long as Xia Xingchen disappears, we all have a chance."
Li Li was shocked, her eyes flickering, not daring to look into Jing Naisheng's eyes. She weakly pretended to be stupid, "I don't understand what you are saying?"
At this moment, she felt as guilty as if she had been caught stealing.
Jing Naisheng smiled, then stood up from the sofa, walked to her side, and said softly: "You are also a smart person, so there is no need to pretend to be stupid with me."
"Even if Xia Xingchen doesn't know that you like the Crown Prince, we all know it."
Jing Naisheng said the following sentence with gritted teeth, wishing Li Li would disappear immediately.
Is it possible for someone like her to covet a person of such noble status as the Crown Prince?
You really overestimate your abilities.
Li Li clutched the corners of her clothes tightly with both hands, sweat breaking out on her palms. Her entire body felt as if it had been hollowed out, light and airy...
She thought she had hidden her love for the prince very well, but she didn't expect that it would be seen through.
She knew that her status was not worthy of the prince, so she had been loving him silently in her heart all these years. She also knew that the prince only had Xia Xingchen in his heart, but, can't you control your love for someone?
If possible, she wouldn't want to fall in love with him!
It was precisely because of this that she always felt guilty towards Xia Xingchen every time she faced her.
She originally thought that as long as she didn't say anything, no one would know about this matter. After all, she still underestimated the power of capitalists.
Money makes the world go round. This saying is absolutely true.
Li Li took several deep breaths before regaining her composure. "The Crown Prince is incredibly powerful. We can't touch Xingchen. Besides, no one knows Xingchen's place in the Crown Prince's heart better than me."
If they dared to touch a hair on Xia Xingchen's head, wouldn't Gong Bingye kill them?
"Even if they're together, so what? Do you know they've been engaged for such a long time and haven't slept together yet? Do you know what this means?" Jing Naisheng said slowly, "This means that the prince has no feelings for that woman at all. Otherwise, why didn't Brother Ye touch her?"
"What did you say?" Li Li turned to look at her in disbelief, every word she said seemed to confirm her, "You said... the prince is engaged to Xingchen?"
When did this happen? How come she doesn't know?!
Besides, Xingchen didn’t mention it to me?
So, it doesn't mean that I'm just having a one-sided crush, but I'm becoming a mistress?
Or did she become the mistress of her best friend?
No...how can this be?
Li Li's heels went soft and she almost fell to the ground.
"What? You don't know about this?" Jing Naisheng was very confused. As Xia Xingchen's best friend, how could he not know that Xia Xingchen and the prince were engaged?!
It's really weird.
Li Li stood there in a daze. She didn't know how long it took before she accepted this cruel fact. She smiled bitterly with tears in her eyes, and kept blaming herself in her heart for daydreaming. Now it was dawn, and it was time to wake up from the dream.
She knew in her heart that even if the Crown Prince and Xia Xingchen were not engaged, it would be impossible for her.
However, when she suddenly realized this, she really couldn't accept it.
"Li Li?" Jing Naisheng saw that Li Li was not in a good state and called her hurriedly, but no matter how he called, Li Li did not respond and was just immersed in her own world.
Finally, Jing Naisheng reached out and pushed her to the ground. "I'm talking to you, didn't you hear me?"
"Do you want to cooperate with me or not? Just tell me the truth. Don't act like you're dying in front of me. Who are you trying to show off to?"
Li Li fell hard on her butt, but she didn't feel any pain. It wasn't that she didn't feel any pain, but the pain in her heart surpassed the pain in her butt. She didn't answer Jing Naisheng's words, but sat on the ground and burst into tears.
She didn't know why she was crying, but she felt uncomfortable.
Since Li Li came to the box, she hadn't farted much, and now she even had the nerve to sit on the ground and cry. Seeing this, Jing Naisheng was furious, "You only know how to cry? You are so grown up, but you are still like a child. Your tears are as cheap as you are."
"Don't you want to cry? Sit here and cry as much as you want today!"
Jing Naisheng was full of resentment for not achieving her goal. Seeing Li Li's hopeless situation, she didn't want to stay for even a minute, so she left after saying a few words.
She really regretted finding Li Li as a partner. It was such a waste of her time!
After Jing Naisheng left, Li Li cried even louder.
She sat on the ground and cried for a long time before her tears slowly stopped. She sobbed, her eyes blurred with tears. She turned her head and saw the red wine on the table.
The red wine had just been opened by the waiter, and she took it and poured it directly into her mouth. She didn't know if it was because she was too thirsty, but she only felt the bitterness of the red wine and didn't taste the sweetness in it.
She drank very quickly, and after just a few sips, she threw the bottle of red wine to the ground.
She sat on the ground for a while, and soon her head felt dizzy and she lay on the ground.
She didn't know how long she had slept when she suddenly heard a man's voice in her ears. She opened her eyes in a daze and found that it was the waiter calling her.
It was very late, and the waiter kindly asked her whether she wanted to go home or sleep on the sofa in the private room.
Li Li now only felt that her body was very weak, but her consciousness was very clear. She thanked the waiter and went home.
After returning home, she sat alone on the sofa for a long time. After a while, she stood up from the sofa and walked towards her bedroom.
She took out a pair of black gloves from the innermost part of her closet, and the scene of Gong Bingye saving her for the first time unconsciously emerged in her mind.
It was because of that rescue that she fell in love with him at first sight.
Otherwise, how could she fall in love with him?
Even after she found out that he liked Xia Xingchen, she never stopped loving him.
But now, they are engaged and will get married soon. Everything seems to be a natural thing. In this case, what reason and status does she have to disturb them?
Maybe...it's time for her to learn to let go!
Thinking about this, she took the gloves and went to the bathroom...
