Princess Xiangrui in Huanzhu

As soon as she saw Benjamin's eyes, Yue Wanhan knew that he had softened his heart. She couldn't help but sigh inwardly. Although she didn't think that what the waiter said was completely false, she was sure that it was just an excuse for him to cover up his crime.

After all, this matter must be distinguished clearly, one thing must be treated separately, and they cannot be mixed up.

Yue Wanhan observed the waiter carefully and found that his behavior was very skillful and it was obviously not the first time he had done this.

Even the words he gave after being discovered were very skillful, as if he had practiced them hundreds of times.

She couldn't help but think that there must be a lot of people who were deceived by him, which made her feel very conflicted.

If she let him off so easily, she would feel that she was too wronged. More importantly, if she didn't teach him a lesson, there was no guarantee that he wouldn't make the same mistake again.

However, if she didn't let him go, Yue Wanhan was worried that Benjamin would have a bad impression of her, thinking that she was not kind enough, too unkind, and cold-blooded.

Wait! Why should I care what he thinks? We were strangers before! They had never even met.

Yue Wanhan suddenly realized that her thoughts were a little strange, and she shook her head vigorously, trying to get rid of this thought. Her cheeks flushed slightly, and she looked a little embarrassed.

Yue Qingshu looked at Yue Wanhan's sudden strange behavior and couldn't help wondering. What happened to his sister? Is she crazy? He thought silently.

Yue Wanhan noticed Yue Qingshu's strange look and glared at him fiercely.

Yue Qingshu: It’s my sister for sure, I don’t worry.

Yue Wanhan's attitude softened for some reason. After asking the waiter to compensate Benjamin for his losses, she admitted his mistake in public.

Although the waiter had a bitter face, looking at the people's firm attitude, he still apologized to Benjamin and Yue Wanhan with a green face.

Yue Wanhan crossed her arms and nodded proudly, acknowledging his apology.

When Benjamin saw Yue Wanhan's proud and arrogant look, he couldn't help but chuckle.

Yue Wanhan heard the movement of Benjamin next to her and her cheeks turned red again.

Laugh, laugh, laugh, what are you laughing at! What's so funny! Does she look funny?

But her wandering eyes had already exposed her ignorant girlish thoughts.

Yue Wanhan waved her hand, and the waiter felt as if he had been pardoned. She was afraid that after what happened today, he would be very quiet for a long time.

Benjamin counted the things. He was a bit stubborn. He took what he should take and didn't ask for what he shouldn't have.

Whether it’s a thing or… a person.

Luo Yu looked at Yue Wanhan's expression, then at Benjamin, and had some guesses in her mind. She smiled at Benjamin and asked gently, "Excuse me, are you the painter in the palace?"

Benjamin was a little surprised to hear this question. He had never seen Luo Yu, but she recognized him.

He responded curiously: "Yes, I am Benjamin, how do you know me?"

Luo Yu smiled slightly and said softly: "Master Ban, don't be nervous. This is the first time we meet. It's just that your appearance is too unique, so it's not difficult to guess your identity."

Benjamin suddenly understood and nodded with a smile. Indeed, in this Forbidden City, there were not many people with blond hair and blue eyes like him, and most of them were people with a certain status and influence.

Without sufficient family background, it would be difficult for them to have the opportunity to travel across the ocean to study or preach here.

Just like himself and his master Lang Shining, they were able to live and work here because of their special backgrounds.

"Thanks to all of you for your help today, I was able to get back the things I bought." Benjamin spoke in fluent Chinese. Although there was a slight foreign accent, his focused expression and careful choice of words made him look particularly cute.

Hearing Benjamin's unique tone, Yue Wanhan couldn't help but burst out laughing.

Seeing Benjamin's surprised expression, she restrained her smile and shook her head to indicate that she was fine.

The four of them walked forward together, and Luo Yu's pace gradually slowed down, causing Yue Qingshu beside him to also slow down.

Yue Qingshu was an impatient person and could not stand such a slow pace. He was extremely anxious and just wanted to move forward quickly.

Just as he was about to speed up his pace, Luo Yu stopped him: "Brother Yue, I just accidentally sprained my foot. Can you walk slower?"

As he spoke, a hint of pain appeared on Luo Yu's face just right.

Yue Qingshu looked helplessly at Yue Wanhan who was walking in front of him unaware of anything, and had to nod and agree, patiently accompanying Luo Yu slowly forward.

Yue Wanhan was completely unaware that the distance between her, Luo Yu and Yue Qingshu was gradually widening.

"Ms. Yue, thank you for your help today, otherwise I would have suffered a great loss today." Benjamin thanked her again. Indeed, if it were not for Yue Wanhan, he would have suffered a great loss today and had to bear the stigma of a monster.

"You've said thank you several times. You don't have to thank me. I also think he went a little too far." Yue Wanhan said softly. If Yue Qingshu saw it, he would definitely feel that the sun had risen in the west.

It's rare to see this tough little hot pepper sister of mine being so gentle at times!

Perhaps because he remembered what had just happened and the rejection from the people around him, Benjamin felt very uncomfortable.

He couldn't help but think about his master's suggestion. It seemed that he shouldn't stay here, and there was no reason to stay here.

When his study period is over, he will apply to return to Great Britain.

But everything here still made him reluctant to leave, but there was really no reason to stay.

As he thought about it, Benjamin's face turned unhappy.

"What's wrong with you?" Yue Wanhan asked with concern.

"I... am not a monster." Benjamin said dejectedly. He emphasized it again and again, but because his appearance was very different from the people here, he didn't have many friends after being here for so long.

It was precisely because Xiaoyanzi and the others did not reject him that he became closer to them.

He didn't want Yue Wanhan to think he was a monster, even though Yue Wanhan had never looked at him strangely.

"Of course, you are a human, not a monster." Yue Wanhan said as a matter of course, "I've already said that I've seen someone who looks very similar to you. Big eyes and a high nose bridge, I think he's very beautiful."

Yue Wanhan had seen too many exotic people at the border. Although they were not as blond and blue-eyed as Benjamin, they also had deep facial features, so she was not surprised.

What's more, she thought Benjamin's eyes were beautiful. She had never seen such beautiful eyes. It seemed as if there were stars and the sea in those eyes.
