While the two of them were still puzzled.
On Qian Renxue's side, she had already started trying to hold his hand.
Though it was only an occasional brush each time, the frequency was far too high.
Su Li looked at the girl beside him, who was pretending nothing had happened, and stared at her face for quite a while. Only after Little Goldie's ears turned red did he withdraw his gaze.
Qian Renxue gathered her hair and asked, "You... why were you staring at me just now?"
"Mm... I was curious why His Highness the Crown Prince wanted me to get along well with you."
Qian Renxue awkwardly looked away.
Why?
She did not really know why she had said that at the time, either.
In any case, seeing Dugu Yan looking so smug had made her heart feel sour, leaving her unable to catch her breath.
Maybe she was jealous, or maybe she was afraid he would be stolen away.
In her panic, she could only resort to this.
However.
Getting along with him in her true appearance was not a spur-of-the-moment decision.
She had been planning it for a long time.
"Hmph~ How would I know!"
"Anyway, my big brother is my only family. Whatever he tells me to do, I can only obey..."
Su Li put on a look of sudden realization, lowered his head, and joked, "So... does that mean His Highness the Crown Prince truly intends to marry Sister Xue to me?"
Qian Renxue: "!!!"
Bastard!
When had she ever said such a thing?!
Damn you, Su Li...
"Hmph! You're lying! My big brother would never say something like that!"
Qian Renxue's ears grew redder and redder. She gritted her teeth, looking so bashful that Su Li could not help wanting to rub her head.
