“Really?” I blinked disbelievingly, looking at him with disdain. “You can’t be serious?”
The Crown Prince hasn’t been with a single woman?
This guy is too dishonest.
If he really hasn’t been with anyone, then what about Miss Qinghan?
This guy is too despicable, having been to her bed and now trying to deny it!
I said disdainfully: “If you really haven’t done anything, how do you explain why your jade pendant ended up on her bed?”
That guy didn’t speak. Just when I thought he wouldn’t explain, I heard him say: “I gave it to her. With this jade pendant, one can freely enter any place in Cheng Yin country. I thought she had already taken it away, but unexpectedly…”
Doesn’t this jade pendant essentially serve as a pass for an entire country, just as valuable as the emperor’s golden token?
Damn, this guy is truly love-struck, actually giving away something so precious so casually…
I couldn’t help but ask curiously: “So why didn’t she want it?”
A hint of confusion appeared in Qi Chenxuan’s eyes as he said: “I don’t know! Initially, she broke into the Prince’s residence at night for this jade pendant! I promised her that as long as she stayed in the Prince’s residence for half a year, I would gift her the pendant…”
I gradually understood: “So, this was the reason she stayed in Yingyuan! Does this mean you already knew she was from Jing Yue country?”
That guy remained silent, which was tantamount to an admission!
Daring to stake a country’s safety as a bet, I suddenly admired his courage and couldn’t help but pat his shoulder: “Aren’t you afraid she might use the pendant to do something harmful to Cheng Yin country?”
He responded indifferently: “In gambling, winning and losing are inevitable. If one is afraid of losing and doesn’t dare to bet, then he will never win in his lifetime, right?”
…
“Is that so?”
Qi Chenxuan couldn’t help but murmur, his expression becoming dazed.
Seeing him looking lost over another woman, I felt inexplicably unhappy and secretly curled my lips: “Why not ask her directly? Surely the noble Prince doesn’t lack the courage to do that?”
