Entanglement

At this point, Xi Youqin might have seemed foolish in other matters, but when it came to love, she saw things with remarkable clarity.

She keenly understood that she could never have Luo Zheng all to herself. Although Xi Youqin was extremely hostile toward his other women, she also knew that Luo Zheng was like a hidden dragon in the abyss, destined to soar into the heavens one day. At such a young age, he had already become the number one person in the Central Region. His future stage would certainly not be confined to this tiny Central Region.

Being able to marry a husband like that was already enough to satisfy Xi Youqin. How could she possibly try to control Luo Zheng?

As for Ning Yu Die throwing a little tantrum, that was Ning Yu Die's business. Xi Youqin was no pushover herself, and she had no intention of sympathizing with Ning Yu Die. She simply understood Ning Yu Die's place in Luo Zheng's heart even better. She spoke that way only because she did not want to see Luo Zheng hurt.

"Comfort her? How?" Luo Zheng asked with an exasperated smile.

Xi Youqin smiled faintly, leaned close to Luo Zheng's ear, and said, "Aren't women meant to be coaxed? Don't be fooled by the fact that she's a palace master—when it comes to this, she's incredibly childish. Just say a few nice things and coax her a little, and everything will be fine..."

Her voice was soft and gentle, her breath fragrant as orchids, as she whispered beside Luo Zheng's ear.

Luo Zheng merely smiled and kissed her lightly on the forehead. "You make it sound as if you're very experienced."

Xi Youqin's face flushed slightly. Her eyes rippled as she cast Luo Zheng a coy sideways glance.
