The cold and noble man tugged at the corner of his mouth. "You came over so early? Why didn't I see you at the Heavenly Palace?"
Rong Anning's pretty little face flushed with embarrassment as she decided to throw caution to the wind. "Your hearing is still as sharp as ever. I was speaking so softly, yet you could still hear me."
"Was that really soft?"
Not far away, Song Feiwan found it a bit amusing but held back her laughter, considering Xiao Yu's presence.
Unexpectedly, despite her low profile, she still caught Rong Anning's attention.
"Song Feiwan, I suppose my cousin has forgotten you by now? Since you are so devoted and your feelings are as strong as gold, doesn't he treat you well?"
Song Feiwan momentarily couldn't tell if she was being sarcastic and thought to herself: Well, his way of treating me is quite unique.
"Of course." With a hint of shyness, she replied, "His Highness values me, and I value him in return. Now that His Highness has returned safely, all I wish for is his happiness and joy every day."
These overly sweet words made Xiao Yu's brow twitch slightly, and he couldn't help but feel a twinge of admiration for Song Feiwan.
Regardless, he would never voice such thoughts.
Rong Anning stared blankly for a moment, her feelings quite complicated.
Shouldn't she be above feeling jealous of someone like Song Feiwan who has found success in such a small way?
Why did it feel so sweet yet also make her cousin seem less agreeable?
No, no! She came to the palace to confront Song Feiwan! She couldn't back down!
After making up her mind, she rolled her eyes and countered, "Is that so? It seems I misunderstood before."
Before Song Feiwan could ask anything, Rong Anning looked at Xiao Yu and covered her mouth with a laugh.
"My cousin doesn't know this, but a few days ago there was a lantern festival in the capital. I saw my cousin-in-law chatting happily with a rather well-built gentleman."
Xiao Yu cast a faint glance at Song Feiwan, his expression somewhat subtle. "Is that so?"
Oblivious to the underlying tension, Rong Anning continued, "Yes! My cousin-in-law said that gentleman's surname is Zhuo, right?"
This time, Song Feiwan's ears truly turned red as she silently shifted her gaze. "Mm."
To Rong Anning's eyes, this was a clear sign of guilt!
It seemed her words had struck home!
Now even the Crown Prince seemed unable to suppress his smile—was it just her imagination or did it seem even brighter than before?
"Is there anyone else besides this gentleman?" he asked.
Rong Anning shook her head truthfully. "I haven't seen anyone."
"Hmm," Xiao Yu replied slowly, enunciating each word clearly. "That gentleman is me."
Rong Anning's smile froze on her face as her eyes widened in shock, darting back and forth between Xiao Yu and Song Feiwan.
"Ah?!"
Heavens, no wonder she thought that person's figure resembled his!
It turned out these two had been involved with each other for a long time!
Wait, they were already a couple, even husband and wife—so it wasn't really an affair.
Rong Anning's mind was in chaos, her mouth slightly agape as she wished she could find a crack in the ground to hide in.
Song Feiwan, who had been watching her reaction closely, felt a twinge of sympathy for her at that moment.
She had said before that Rong Anning wasn't cut out for scheming, and now she had rushed to report on herself, only to shoot herself in the foot!
To teach her a lesson, Song Feiwan not only refrained from helping her out but also seized the moment, looking at Xiao Yu with a shy yet delighted expression as she began to act.
"At that moment, I felt an extraordinary connection with His Highness! It seemed like heaven itself didn’t want us to miss each other!"
Xiao Yu, fearing she would continue with more of her teasing remarks, furrowed his brow and interrupted her. "What the princess says is true."
Song Feiwan smiled at him, while Xiao Yu wore a smile that didn’t quite reach his eyes.
