C80 Wolf-heart Syndrome (1/2)
Yan Xiaoxi purposely avoided Liu Zhixue in order to play dumb. She felt that because of this matter, she had instantly turned from a cat into a mouse. How pitiful.
For the entire day, she stayed in her room and told the maidservant that she was not feeling well and that she would not see anyone.
There were many things that could not be solved just by running away from it.
The matter of the bet between Yan Xiaoxi and Liu Zhixue had become known to everyone. Everyone knew that Princess Lin and Miss Liu had fallen into the lake together, and Prince Lin had saved Miss Liu. They all knew that Princess Lin had lost to Prince Lin, and that Prince Lin was about to marry Miss Liu as a secondary wife.
Xiao Cui pushed open the door and brought the food in, placing it in front of Yan Xiaoxi.
”Go ahead and eat your food, Princess.”
”Did Liu Zhixue find me?” Yan Xiaoxi stayed in her room for the entire day. Other than Xiao Cui, she did not see anyone else.
Xiao Cui shook her head, sighed, and said: ”Esteemed wangfei, now the entire Southern Water Country knows about this matter, it's not something that you can solve by hiding in your room.”
”What?” Yan Xiaoxi looked at Xiao Cui in disbelief.
This was clearly something that only the three of them knew about. It was obvious that Liu Zhixue must have leaked this information.
”Where is the prince going?” Yan Xiaoxi asked as she ate.
”Early morning.” Xiao Cui coincidentally ran into Nangong Lin when she was going to the kitchen. He asked her to prepare food for the wangfei.
”Oh.”
”Xiao Cui.” Yan Xiaoxi felt the taste of the food in her mouth disappear as she pushed the plate to the side.
”Right.” Xiao Cui agreed.
”I don't want Little Linlin to go to Liu Zhixue.” By now, the entire Southern Water Country knew about this matter. Yan Xiaoxi understood that she could no longer avoid it.
If he went back on his word, he would lose his reputation as a jealous person if word got out.
She did not care about the opinions of others, but she did not want others to have any possibility of seeing Nangong Lin as a joke. Her reputation represented his dignity.
”I know.” How could Xiao Cui not understand Yan Xiaoxi's thoughts? No matter who it was, it wouldn't feel good.
This time, the wangfei really led the wolf into the house.
”Creak.”
The door was pushed open once again, and Nangong Lin's tall and majestic body appeared before Yan Xiaoxi's eyes.
”Xi Er.” When Nangong Lin heard about this, he immediately put down what he was doing and rushed back.
”This servant will take his leave.” Xiao Cui cleaned up the table and left the room.
”Little Linlin.” Yan Xiaoxi stood up with her face pulled close to hers. Anyone who looked at her would know that she was unhappy.
Nangong Lin walked over to Yan Xiaoxi's side and stroked her black hair. ”It's fine, I'm here.”
”Little Lin Lin, because of me, I do not want my image to be damaged in the hearts of the citizens of the Southern Water Country.” These were Yan Xiaoxi's heartfelt words. If she didn't care about Nangong Lin, she wouldn't be in such a difficult situation.
”Idiot, I only care about Xi Er, the opinions of others are important.” How could the smart Nangong Lin not understand Yan Xiaoxi's intentions!
With her personality, she would have gone to Liu Zhixue long ago to argue. This time, she was in the wrong, cowering in the room like a turtle.
”Little Lin Lin, are you really going to marry Liu Zhixue?” As she thought of this, Yan Xiaoxi's heart was filled with anxiety and sadness.
”Nope.”
”But …”
”Trust in This King.” Nangong Lin gently pulled Yan Xiaoxi into his embrace.
”Have you come up with a good idea?” Yan Xiaoxi raised her head and looked at the side of Nangong Lin's face. His expression was too calm, so calm that it was extraordinary.
