If he could, he wouldn't want to get on friendly terms with her in a place like that...

Pei Yu touched his forehead, not knowing whether to laugh or cry. ”Ah Jin.”

Lu JinNian was satisfied with his smile. Xiao Su raised her head and looked at him deeply. She lowered her eyes, thinking of something.

After they had eaten their fill, Pei Yu and Lu JinNian bade farewell and went back. Lu JinNian patted Xiao Su's shoulder, ”Your highness, I will send you home. This time, I will not carry you. We will walk back and eat.”

Xiao Su nodded and walked side by side with Lu JinNian. She turned her eyes to the side of her face and suddenly said, ”A-Jin.”

”What's wrong?”

Xiao Su pursed her lips, ”Why do you call him brother Pei Yu?”

”About this, I feel like he's not bad and I'm already familiar with him. Is there a problem?”

”I thought we were familiar with each other now. Why did you call me only 'Your Highness' and not 'my name?'”

Was it because of her character? He was one of the three princes of Liang Jing City who was as humble as jade. No matter what he did, he was very upright. However, even though he looked weak, he was actually black-hearted and evil …

Cough cough. Lu JinNian touched his conscience and decided to swallow the truth and said, ”My daughter really doesn't dare to call the prince my brother.”

”Liang Jing City...” In the whole of Ming Xuan Country, not many people truly think that I am a prince. ”

Xiao Su closed her eyes. Her amber eyes shone with a warm light under the lights of the street lights. However, these lights were very fragile, adding to her sadness. ”Jin, call me Su, okay?”

The beauty under the lantern had a slightly hopeful tone. Lu Jinniang indicated that her little heart couldn't bear it any longer. Her breathing became sluggish as she took the opportunity to reply, ”Alright.”

Who said that only a hero would feel sad for a beauty? Lu Jinsheng wasn't a hero, but he couldn't escape a beauty's trap.

Hearing Lu JinNian agree to call him by name, the great demon king felt his mood lighten up. But before he could even smile, he saw Lu JinNian grab his hand and run away. Xiao Su was surprised, but didn't ask anything.

In the end, just like last time, Lu JinNian brought him to an alleyway with no one around. Without asking for his opinion, he carried him in his arms and flew towards No. 72 of Fengyuan Street.

Xiao Su's face was dark. She had agreed to take a walk back, she wouldn't carry him!

Actually, Lu JinNian was afraid that he wouldn't be able to control it, but he was more worried about this one. Even if it was just a sheep, it wasn't safe to stroll around the streets at night!

At this point, Xiao Su was still unaware of the importance of first impressions in their relationship.

Since he had initially left the impression of a weak little sheep, it was impossible for him to change his mind in a short period of time. Moreover, Lu Jinsheng was both rational and forceful, so even if the beauty scheme worked, its effectiveness and durability was limited.

This time, Lu JinNian landed in the yard and put Xiao Su down. Without looking at his expression, he waved goodbye, ”Goodbye, Su.”

The great demon king looked at the distant figure and unconsciously snorted. Seeing that she had obediently called out his name, he gave up.

”...”

22 February, morning court.

The Honda Monastery's Su Xing Yuan began. The second prince of the Ruixi Country, Murong Qi, and the third princess, Murong Tan, had already taken up residence outside the imperial palace and were waiting for an audience.

The emperor Xiao Wen Feng's long eyes narrowed slightly. He did not get angry, but instead said in a deep voice, ”Proclamation.”
