"Why didn't you come to see me?"
That was all Qian Renxue asked.
There was no reproach in her voice. Instead, there was a hint of hurt.
She kept feeling that she had been neglected.
Ji Hongchen let out a long breath, his tone turning serious. "Your Highness, I don't know how you feel about me."
"Don't call me Your Highness!"
The gentle smile vanished from Qian Renxue's face, replaced by a trace of anger. "My name is Qian Renxue. From now on, just call me Xue'er."
Hiss...
Ji Hongchen sucked in a sharp breath.
What was going on?
He hadn't even started trying to win Qian Renxue over yet, had he? How had she suddenly fallen into his lap? Had she really thought things through?
"Xue'er, we've only met twice, haven't we?"
Ji Hongchen couldn't help probing.
"Yes."
Qian Renxue nodded and took a deep breath. "Hongchen, although we've only met twice, I admire your talent and your character."
She didn't know much about Ji Hongchen.
But she had sensed a trace of love from him, which had surprised her. This was the first time she had ever received care from a stranger.

She had to seize the opportunity to get to know Ji Hongchen deeply and thoroughly.
"Phew."
Taking a deep breath and steadying himself, Ji Hongchen sat on the sofa, feeling rather restless. He had no idea what Qian Renxue intended to do.
Qian Renxue, however, didn't mind in the slightest.
Like a child yearning for love, she gazed eagerly at Ji Hongchen and couldn't help moving closer to him.
"Does what you said to me back then still stand?"
Ji Hongchen froze.
Looking at Qian Renxue's expectant eyes, he feared that one wrong word might bring the angel family's old tradition into play right
