This was the first time Shen Xihe was turned away by Xiao Huayong. She did not force it, but just asked if the Crown Prince had woken up. After getting an affirmative answer, she left.
"What did she say?" Xiao Huayong asked.
"The princess only asked whether His Highness had regained consciousness and whether he was seriously injured." Tian Yuan answered truthfully.
Xiao Huayong slowly closed his eyes and let out a short self-deprecating laugh. Even though he knew the result, he still wanted to hold on to a glimmer of self-deceiving hope.
He never thought that one day he would become so humble.
My heart was aching. This is what it felt like to be heartbroken. It was truly the most terrible torture in the world.
"Tianyuan, I want to take my heart back..."
If I take it back, will it not be so painful? Will I be able to be myself again, unmoved by anything
He said that if her heart was cold, he would warm it; if she was heartless, he would give half of his heart to her.
But today he realized that she was not heartless, nor was she cold-hearted. She had a firm heart that would not be moved by anyone!
He couldn't shake her like this, and he couldn't squeeze his heart into her.
"Your Highness, what did you say?" Xiao Huayong's voice was too soft and vague, and Tian Yuan couldn't hear it clearly.
Xiao Huayong said, "I don't want to hear any more news about her."
Tian Yuan was stunned for a moment, then he realized that the matter was more serious than he thought.
Xiao Huayong retreated for the first time. He didn't know if he could still win the heart of Shen Xihe with confidence. He was not sure whether he would be completely disfigured and bruised in the future because of her indifference.
He was not afraid of getting hurt, but he was afraid that he would become unable to control himself after being hurt, and would hurt her in the future.
At this moment, he still couldn't bear to hurt her at all, so he decided to let go as soon as possible.
In this way, they can avoid owing each other anything.
Shen Xihe didn't know that Xiao Huayong was so smart. Just by looking at her short name, he was able to understand what she was thinking.
Xiao Huayong did not see her. On her way back to her residence, she met Princess Changling. It had been a long time since she broke her nose last time, but Princess Changling's nose was left with marks because she did not listen to the doctor's advice. There was a bulge in the middle of her nasal bone and her nose had an arc. It did not seem too serious when viewed from the front, but it looked particularly strange when viewed from the side.
When Princess Changling saw Shen Xihe, her eyes were cold, like a poisonous snake lurking in the grass. She wished she could pounce on Shen Xihe and bite him hard. However, this time she did not come over. Instead, she stared at Shen Xihe gloomily for a moment and chose her own path.
"Why does she look at my sister like that?" Xue Jinqiao was following Shen Xihe, and she hated the look in Princess Changling's eyes.
Shen Xihe glanced at Xue Jinqiao and said seriously, "You are jealous of my beauty."
Xue Jinqiao nodded in agreement: "It's human nature."
In Xue Jinqiao's opinion, all women in this world should be jealous of Shen Xihe's beauty.
She is different because she likes Shen Xihe's appearance.
For three consecutive days, Shen Xihe would bring Sui Axi to visit Xiao Huayong, but Tian Yuan always gave them the last hurdle, which made Tian Yuan feel very embarrassed.
He knew that His Highness was angry and he didn't know when he would calm down. He didn't dare to offend Shen Xihe. If His Highness came to settle accounts with him in the future, he would be in trouble. He had to rack his brains to find a suitable excuse.
