Chapter 159 – Prince Exclusive Pampered Wife (1/2)

“Ex… fiancé?” Lin Xiao almost cried out.

He’s only heard of ex-husband, never ex-fiancé.

It turns out that a couple of years ago, Shen DaiYing was engaged to Charles, not Caesar. The two already knew each other well, but because of some unforeseen events, Charles was kicked aside by Shen DaiYing, so he could only be the “ex-fiancé.”

In terms of suitability, Charles was far more suited to be Shen DaiYing’s husband than Caesar, many in the Shen Dai household thought so as well.

Firstly, Charles was the crown prince, so he had a far higher status than Caesar, so Shen DaiYing would essentially become the queen if they married, this kind of status was something Caesar could never give. Secondly, although Charles looks like a cute boy, he was older than Shen DaiYing, was mature and steady, so he was a lot better than Caesar and more suited to be her husband.

They’ve even already decided on a date, but an unforeseen event happened.

For some reason, the empress of the Great Qin Empire didn’t approve of this marriage no matter what, negotiations lead to nowhere, so the two separated and their engagement became a joke.

“Huh… so she was that popular.” Rather than ridiculing that unfortunate ex-fiance, he wanted to ridicule the casual engagements.

Was his beloved a gift? Or a tool to curry favor with royalty?

Why was Shen DaiYing treated like an object, being kicked around, does she not have the freedom to choose for herself?

Was the purpose of Shen DaiYing’s existence to become the pampered wife of a prince?

Bullshit!

Although Lin Xiao was a good-for-nothing without any ambition, if he can’t even save the woman he loves out from a political marriage, then what kind of man is he?

If it was him, he would treasure her, how could he treat her like a bargaining chip at the negation table?

As if she noticed Lin Xiao’s fervent gaze, she glanced at Lin Xiao while dealing with Charles.

When their eyes met, she raised the corners of her mouth slightly, giving him a gentle smile. It was like she was telling him to not worry about her and that she could deal with it herself, but she didn’t know how heartbreaking that smile looked to Lin Xiao.

“Princess, even if you hate me, you don’t have to go so far as to make that kind of expression, right? People will misunderstand and think that I was the one who dumped you.”

“Don’t say dump, it’s not appropriate…” Shen DaiYing awkwardly responded.

“Heh, you’re right, you never accepted me after all.”

“Sorry.” Shen DaiYing shook her head, not wanting to continue with this topic.

Lin Xiao was baffled while listening on the side.

What’s going on? Did this damn trap still have feelings for Shen DaiYing?

The good news was, even if he did, Shen DaiYing still kept her distance from him, it was probably due to her engagement with Caesar. Although she usually doesn’t put on any airs with Lin Xiao, to others, she still had to maintain her graceful form.

However, something didn’t look right when Lin Xiao looked at Shen DaiYing, other than rejection, there was a hint of guilt like she did something wrong to him…

He felt his head hurt.
