Chapter 220 - 218: Shen Yinning, You’re Driving me Crazy
The corridors of the Yu Mansion.
Shen Yinning called out from afar, "Crown Prince, please wait."
Lu Ying glanced toward the opposite corridor, where the young woman was hastily approaching while holding an umbrella.
He hadn’t intended to wait for her, but seeing the drifting rain soaking the hem of her skirt, he nonetheless paused where he stood.
His tone was cold. "What is it?"
"I haven’t properly thanked Your Highness for what happened during the Lantern Festival." Shen Yinning caught up and handed the paper umbrella to him. "After thinking about it over and over, I realized I have nothing to offer that is truly worthy. The only thing that might occupy Your Highness’s thoughts is none other than this body of mine. In the past, I always tried to win Your Highness’s heart. After facing setbacks, I even harbored resentment and plotted to harm Your Highness’s life. But after that night in the small courtyard north of the city, I’ve come to understand completely: the only one in Your Highness’s heart is the Crown Princess Consort. Please be assured that I will no longer be so tactless as to ask Your Highness those foolish questions again. From now on, I will not cling to you anymore. I will be a considerate and proper lover."
Rarely was she so distant and earnest.
Lu Ying stared intently into her eyes, clearly catching a hint of respect and gratitude in her gaze.
She respected him.
Shen Zhaozhao now actually respected him...
Lu Ying found it utterly ridiculous.
What use did he have for her respect?!
