C83 Loss of Face (2/2)

”That's right, why is Prince Lin so heartless?”

”However, Princess Lin really didn't do anything wrong. She's magnanimous and honest. It's only right that Prince Lin dotes on her.

”That's the truth.”

”I can only say that Miss Liu and Prince Lin are fated to be together.” For a time, they were all pitying Liu Zhixue's words and praising Yan Xiaoxi.

Nangong Lin's cold gaze immediately quieted down the noisy inn.

”Let's go.” Nangong Lin embraced Yan Xiaoxi's slender waist and led her out under the envious gaze of the crowd.

Liu Zhixue was frozen in place. At this moment, she was like an abandoned object, which nobody cared about. It was extremely tragic.

She clenched her fists, her long nails digging into her flesh, her eyes full of anger.

After pausing for a while, Liu Zhixue put on her disguise again and followed closely behind the two of them with a stiff smile on her face.

She, Liu Zhixue, would not give up so easily. She must become Nangong Lin's concubine.

Yun Lai Inn was already a crowded place. The matter of Liu Zhixue being abandoned by Prince Lin once again quickly spread through the streets and alleyways.

The commoners held different opinions towards Liu Zhixue. Some thought that she was very pitiful, but some thought that she was shameless and that she and Princess Lin loved each other as much as ever. Why did they need to interfere?

Prince Lin had even said that he wanted to be with Princess Lin for a lifetime and that they would be a pair. How could she not understand such an obvious piece of advice?

”Little Lin Lin, do you think that Liu Zhixue will leave Princess Lin in a fit of anger?” Yan Xiaoxi was lying in Nangong Lin's warm embrace, asking with her eyes closed.

”I won't.” These words were said with absolute certainty by Nangong Lin.

If Liu Zhixue was so easily discouraged, then it would no longer be Liu Zhixue. Ever since she was young, he had known that Liu Zhixue was very stubborn.

He lowered his gaze, gently looking at Yan Xiaoxi in his arms. This woman, in order to solve this problem, she hadn't even slept enough. She actually ignored the gazes of the crowd and began to plead for a hug in public.

Thus, Nangong Lin would naturally not refuse a beauty that presented herself at his doorstep.

The entire Southern Water Kingdom knew that Prince Lin was about to pamper her to the heavens. They would rather offend a villain than Prince Lin. Otherwise, Prince Lin would fly into a rage.

Nangong Lin did not mind such rumors. Since he was able to pamper Yan Xiaoxi without damaging his dignity, why wouldn't he be willing to do so?

Seeing that Yan Xiaoxi did not respond, Nangong Lin was still worried about what had happened. Lowering his head to look, he saw that Yan Xiaoxi, who was curled up like a cat in his embrace, had actually fallen asleep. Her eyelashes were so long, and her skin was glossy and white.

When some commoners saw this scene, they couldn't help but feel that their Prince Lin's cultivation had truly gone berserk, and he was deeply entrapped within Princess Lin's charm.

After returning to the Lin King's Manor, Nangong Lin carried Yan Xiaoxi back to her room and placed her on the bed. He lovingly covered her with a blanket before leaving the room.

Liu Zhixue received countless gazes along the way, as well as various discussions. In this sort of situation, she still returned to the manor and acted as if nothing had happened. She continued to stay in peace, as if the bet had never happened.
