Princess Xiangrui in Huanzhu

Even Benjamin himself did not realize this. At this moment, what he was thinking about was no longer whether he liked Yue Wanhan, but the insurmountable obstacles between them.

These obstacles separated them like a solid wall, making him feel powerless and helpless.

He didn't dare to think about it anymore, nor did he dare to think about the details. He didn't even dare to look directly into Yue Wanhan's beautiful eyes, fearing that he would be moved by the deep affection in her eyes and lose his mind. So, he could only leave there hastily and embarrassedly like a deserter.

After returning home that day, Yue Wanhan fell seriously ill and was unable to get out of bed for two whole days.

Luo Yu did not go into the palace with them that day, so he did not know what exactly happened. He only heard that Yue Wanhan suddenly fell ill.

Since her best friend is sick, Luo Yu naturally has to come and visit her.

"I heard that you were sick. What happened?" Luo Yu hurried in and asked with a worried look on his face.

Yue Wanhan started practicing martial arts since she was a child. She has always had a good physical condition and rarely gets sick.

This sudden illness was really unexpected.

But when the two met, Luo Yu was still frightened.

Yue Wanhan's face was as pale as paper, without any blood, like a fragile porcelain doll.

After just a few days of not seeing each other, Yue Wanhan in front of him had completely changed. She was no longer the heroic and high-spirited girl, but a sickly Xi Shi who was lovable.

Such a huge change made Luo Yu a little overwhelmed. She quickly walked to Yue Wanhan's bed and gently stroked her pale little face.

Ever since Yue Wanhan fell seriously ill when she was five years old, Luo Yu has never seen Yue Wanhan so fragile again.

"Wanhan, what's wrong with you? What happened?" Luo Yu held Yue Wanhan's hand, his face full of worry. Yue Wanhan's originally chubby face had become much thinner, and her chin had become pointed, only her eyes were still as bright. But Yue Wanhan forced herself to smile, as if nothing had happened.

"It's okay, I just caught a cold." Yue Wanhan forced a smile, not wanting Luo Yu to worry about her. She knew in her heart that Luo Yu would understand her fragility, so she tried hard to control her emotions and tried not to let the tears flow out.

However, she obviously overestimated her own strength. Once she met Luo Yu, all her disguises collapsed in an instant, and tears slid down her cheeks like pearls from a broken string.

Luo Yu hugged Yue Wanhan lovingly, patted her back gently, and comforted her softly: "Okay, okay, don't cry, don't cry. What happened? Tell me, okay?" Her voice was full of concern and anxiety, which made Yue Wanhan feel endless warmth.

Just like Yue Wanhan protected her back then, she also wants to protect Yue Wanhan now.

Yue Wanhan leaned in Luo Yu's arms, sobbing and unable to speak. Luo Yu was extremely anxious. She couldn't imagine what had happened to make Yue Wanhan, who was originally lively and cheerful, so depressed. She knew that Yue Wanhan must have experienced something after entering the palace that day. And now, she just wanted to know the truth and help Yue Wanhan out of the predicament.

Yue Wanhan finally couldn't hold back her sobs and her tears flowed out of her eyes like a flood. She covered her mouth tightly to prevent herself from crying out loud. She was really sad, so sad, as if her heart was twisted into a ball and it hurt so much that she couldn't breathe.

She tasted love for the first time in her life, but found it so bitter. She thought that as long as she was brave enough to love, she would get a response, but reality gave her a hard slap in the face.

She didn't know how to face such an ending, let alone how to forget the man who made her heart beat.

The first time in her life that she fell in love, it ended in failure because someone interfered. This made Yue Wanhan unable to let go for a long time.

How could someone be so bad? Luo Rou was going too far.

It would be fine if her confession failed, but it is unknown what kind of reaction Luo Rou will have. However, it is certain that Luo Rou has bad intentions.

Yue Wanhan sobbed in Luo Yu's arms for a long time. Luo Yu did not urge her and just stayed with her quietly.

Yue Wanhan's maid outside the door heard Yue Wanhan's suppressed crying and finally breathed a sigh of relief. It was good that she could cry.

"Wuwu...Yu'er, I failed...He doesn't like me, not at all!" Yue Wanhan spoke intermittently, the sadness in her voice clearly visible.

Luo Yu was not surprised. She had guessed it and expected Benjamin’s rejection. However, Yue Wanhan was in high spirits at the time, so she could only support him.

Facts have proved that she shouldn't have let it go. Look how sad Yue Wanhan is.

That was the first time I saw Yue Wanhan not smiling and joking. The originally happy little dog had turned into a melancholy princess.

"Wanhan, his rejection of you proves that she is not a good match for you. Your future husband is still waiting for you, so don't be sad." Luo Yu comforted her softly.

Luo Yu thought about it and thought that Benjamin's refusal was a good thing. After all, Benjamin was about to leave the Qing Dynasty. Wouldn't it be troublesome if he got involved with him?

Yue Wanhan nodded perfunctorily. She didn't look very well. She hung her head listlessly and looked listless.

Having said that, I understand the truth, but the dull pain in my heart cannot be ignored.

These past two days, her mind was filled with images of her time with Benjamin.

Although they didn't spend much time together, Yue Wanhan still remembers Benjamin's gentleness and gentlemanliness.

Yue Wanhan was curious about Benjamin's appearance at the beginning, but now she really likes him.

However, reality gave her a loud slap in the face - Benjamin had rejected her quite clearly.

Yes, she had already been politely rejected, giving her enough face, and it would be impolite if she continued to pester him. It would also be rude, but she was really sad.

"Yu'er, Luo Rou is involved in this matter." Yue Wanhan said angrily.

If it weren't for Luo Rou, she wouldn't have been so rash. Although the final outcome might have been the same, at least she wouldn't have thought of another possibility.

When Luo Yu heard Luo Rou's name, he was stunned. "Luo Rou? What did she do?" Luo Yu asked with a frown.

"She confessed her love to Benjamin." Yue Wanhan replied angrily.

"Ah?!!!" Luo Yu was dumbfounded. What did this have to do with Luo Rou? If she remembered correctly, Luo Rou didn't even know Benjamin.

Just come forward and confess your feelings like this? Such a niche text.

Luo Yu's mind instantly emerged with Luo Rou's pretending to be innocent, pure and kind. Luo Rou always refreshed her cognitive limits.

Luo Yu thought of Benjamin's handsome appearance and gentle personality, and a sense of uneasiness arose in her heart. What exactly did Luo Rou want to do?
