Chapter 75: Chapter 74: Not Very Honest

The Crown Prince of Li Country had proposed to marry Princess Rong Huan and left behind a letter hastily bidding farewell the very next day.

The letter simply stated that there was an important matter at court and that he would visit another day.

Outside the imperial city, in a guesthouse, a tall figure stood by the window, watching the caravan of Li Country leave Jing Country, with a cold glint flickering in his eyes.

At that moment, a respectful voice came from behind, "Crown Prince, everything has been arranged."

The man grunted in acknowledgment, picked up the teacup from the table, took a sip, and then turned to leave.

With the departure of the Crown Prince of Li Country, not only did Princess Rong Huan heave a sigh of relief, but Prince Jing also relaxed. Although Li Country was a friendly neighbor, Princess Rong Huan was his most beloved and he had heard some rumors about the Crown Prince. He really didn’t want to marry off his treasured daughter to him.

When Prince Jing reached Princess Rong Huan’s chamber, she was practicing her calligraphy with a gloomy expression. Upon seeing Prince Jing, she called out "Father" and then lowered her head again.

"Ah Huan, do you have something on your mind?"

Princess Rong Huan stubbornly replied, "No."

Prince Jing didn’t press any further. He looked around her chamber and felt that something was amiss. He asked, "Where is Huo Cheng?"

Sure enough, as soon as he finished speaking, an ink blot spread on the rice paper, followed by Princess Rong Huan’s sulky voice, "I don’t know."

"Oh?" Prince Jing became curious and sat down beside her, "Don’t you usually keep a close eye on your little guard? How come you don’t even know where he is now?"

"He is not mine!" Princess Rong Huan retorted with a neck stiff and face flushed, revealing a touch of youthful shyness, "Father, don’t talk nonsense!"

Wen Qiao’s head was slightly bowed, her neck as graceful as a swan, her exposed skin fair like a block of tofu, tempting as if inviting a bite.

"Did you two have a fight?" As he spoke, Prince Jing raised his hand to touch Princess Rong Huan’s head, his hand naturally sliding down to her shoulder.

The actor playing Prince Jing was Luo Bin, a senior figure in the industry with a somewhat stagnant early career, who only saw success in recent years and was a late bloomer. Not long ago, he was even shortlisted for the Magnificent Award for Best Actor.

But why did Wen Qiao feel that this Best Actor nominee’s hands were somewhat restless?

Without revealing anything, Wen Qiao glanced at the director’s team in front. The scene was about to wrap up, and she didn’t want to cause everyone to redo it because of her. Moreover, Luo Bin’s hand on her shoulder was in a blind spot visually; apart from feeling his fingers rubbing against her shoulder through the fabric, no one else could see it.

Even if she spoke out about this matter, no one would stand up for her, and she would instead attract trouble.

She suppressed the disgust in her heart and the urge to fling Luo Bin’s hand away, and continued acting.

"No," Princess Rong Huan pouted slightly. Given that Huo Cheng was wooden, how could they possibly have a quarrel?

Seeing that Wen Qiao didn’t resist, Luo Bin grew bolder. Noticing Wen Qiao’s pouty lips and her coquettish demeanor, he took advantage of the blind spot to move his hand more audaciously on Princess Rong Huan’s shoulder.

Wen Qiao’s hand hidden in her sleeve clenched into a fist; in her mind, she had already dismantled Luo Bin’s intrusive hand eight hundred times over.

Prince Jing caught a glimpse of the character "Huo" unintentionally written on the rice paper by Princess Rong Huan and suddenly asked, "Ah Huan, do you like Huo Cheng?"

Like Huo Cheng?

Princess Rong Huan stared blankly at Prince Jing as if she didn’t quite understand the implication of his words.

"No! I don’t like him at all!"
