Chapter 425: Garden Tour
For someone like the Fifth Princess, who often projected an air of aloofness and coldness, it was surprising to discover that she was actually quite lonely and discontented.
Furthermore, she had a penchant for eccentric behavior. Just like her public persona, appearing distant and regal, yet privately indulging in clandestine affairs.
It was startling to think that an unmarried woman would dare to consort with a gigolo in a brothel, all the while concealing her true identity, seemingly unconcerned about her future husband discovering her secrets. What absurd choices had she made?
Perhaps she felt invulnerable due to her favored status, believing that no consequences would befall her.
The Third Prince glanced at Su Bin but couldn’t resist directing a friendly smile toward Su Ning, acknowledging her as his little benefactor. Su Ning returned the smile, her face inadvertently blushing. She lowered her head, avoiding further eye contact with the Third Prince.
Qin Zhenzhen couldn’t help but feel a growing sense of concern. It appeared that Su Ning had indeed fallen for his charms. The challenge now lay in whether she could extricate herself from this situation. Were all young women in ancient times so poised and mature, or was Su Ning an exception?
As for the Third Prince, why was he smiling at Su Ning without reason? Didn’t he realize that it might lead to a misunderstanding on her part?
Observing this exchange, Su Bin, holding Qin Zhenzhen’s hand, noticed her unease. He wanted to reassure her but hesitated, cautious not to say anything that Su Ning might overhear.
