Li Qianru was hit hard on her back and fell to the ground. Her face, which was rosy just now, turned pale in an instant, both in pain and in fear.

"I, I didn't, I just wanted to say a few words to the prince."

The personal maid beside her helped her up, and regardless of the pain, she explained stumblingly.

She looked at Pei Yu again, endured the pain in her hand, and forced a smile, "Prince, do you still remember me? We met at the palace banquet. My daughter is Qianru, and my father is the Minister of Works."

Pei Yu did not look at her, but looked at Shen Li and shook his head, indicating that he did not know her. It would be bad if Ali misunderstood him because of this sudden disaster.

But he wouldn't let that happen.

Li Qianru looked at Pei Yu expectantly. Last time, Prince Jingnan stared at her, so he should have some special feelings towards her, right?

Pei Yu looked at the guards and said, "Stop them, don't spoil the fun."

He did not force anyone out of the restaurant in a domineering manner, because the restaurant was not owned by him. If it was his, he would have kicked them out directly.

The two turned around and walked a few steps, then they heard the woman's slightly tentative voice coming from behind them again.

"Your Highness, don't you remember me? We met at the spring flower viewing banquet this year. I was standing under the pear tree and you smiled at me. Don't you remember?"

Pei Yu looked at Shen Li first and shook his head to indicate that he was not smiling at her.

As for what she said, looking at her and laughing, that was even more nonsense.

Looking at the pear tree at the spring flower-viewing banquet, he thought of Shen Li who was far away in Suzhou. As for whether she was smiling or not, he was not sure, and as for who was standing under the tree, he did not notice it at all.

"Ms. Li, your father is the Minister of Industry after all. Are you sure you want to continue yelling here and embarrass him?"

"You are really unworthy of a lady like me."

"I……"

Li Qianru was dumbfounded. The way he looked at her when he came in to play just now was no different from the way he looked at a stranger. There was no trace of the tenderness and affection that he had that day.

Why had she come all this way?

Ostensibly, it was to supervise the little bitch surnamed He. Although she didn't want to marry her cousin at all, her parents had already instructed her to do so, so she had to do it.

She used to think marrying her cousin was a good idea, but now...

Ever since I saw him at the Spring Banquet, I have been fascinated by Prince Jingnan's smile.

The reason why she listened to her parents and came here this time was half because King Jingnan was here, but now the facts tell her that she was just being sentimental and wishful thinking.

No, it's not like that!

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty..."

Seeing people walking upstairs, she wanted to follow them but was stopped by the guards, who scolded her in a delicate voice: "Get out of the way! Do you know who I am? How dare you stop me!"

"Miss Li, if you are following our prince, don't blame us for arresting you as an assassin."

Li Qianru twisted the handkerchief in her hands, her face full of unwillingness. She glared at the guard fiercely. After Shen Li and Pei Yu disappeared on the second floor, the guard turned around and followed them.

Noticing the gazes of the people around her, Li Qianru's face turned pale and blue. She threw away her handkerchief and called her personal maid to go upstairs.

It's obviously not the case, but she doesn't believe it today!

"Oh, I didn't expect our prince to have such good luck with women. He has women everywhere he goes!"

Shen Li leaned one hand on the table, with a teasing smile on her face, staring at the man next to her and said.

Pei Yu didn't dare to agree with her words, "No, I don't know her. As for what she said about seeing her smile, it's not true. Ah Li can't wrongly accuse me."

"Oh, no, why are you still blaming others? When did I ever wrong you? That's called stating the facts, okay?"

Pei Yu held her hand and said, "Well, I was wrong. Alihu is angry."

"Not angry."

"Ali, don't worry about any bad peach blossoms around me, and you don't have to cut them off. I will cut them off myself."

After saying that, he took Shen Li's hand and kissed her on the lips.

Outside the door, Li Qianru saw the guard who had just stopped her standing guard at the door of a private room, and she immediately understood that it was Prince Jingnan's private room.

She immediately hid in the corner. Just then, two waiters were preparing to serve the dishes. She followed behind them, while the maid continued to hide.

When the two waiters arrived at the door of the box, even the guards' attention was on the waiters. She pushed open the door of the box at the fastest speed in her life.

Then, the whole person felt as if struck by lightning and stood there in a daze.

"My lord, forgive me."

Seeing this, the two guards knelt on the ground and apologized.

Li Qianru blinked her eyes to make sure that what she saw just now was not an illusion, because the two people's hands on the table were still clasped together.

Pei Yu was very unhappy to be interrupted. He looked at the person standing at the door and said, "Miss Li, what do you want to do?"

Being stared at by him with cold eyes, Li Qianru slowly came back to her senses, suppressed the messy thoughts in her mind, and forced out an ugly smile.

"Your Majesty, I'm sorry, I walked into the wrong box. I will leave now and will not disturb you anymore."

"and many more."

She turned halfway and called for stop, but she didn't turn back and just stood there.

Pei Yu saw that her expression was not right, then he looked at himself, Ali and what they were wearing, and he knew that she had misunderstood, but he did not intend to explain anything.

"Miss Li, do you understand that the mouth can cause trouble?"

Li Qianru glanced at the two people at the table, then quickly looked away and didn't look at them again.

"Your Highness, I understand. I will not say a word about what happened today. Don't worry."

"Ah."

Li Qianru hurried out of the box as if there was a wolf chasing her.

Mother!

It’s incredible, that’s how it is!

No wonder Prince Jingnan has been so aloof from women for so many years. People in the capital say that he is chaste, but they never expected that he doesn't like women and is a homosexual!

God knows how shocked she was when she saw this scene. She wanted to poke her eyes out right there.

Then she thought of something and kept muttering "It's over, it's over". She knew the biggest secret of King Jingnan, so he wouldn't kill her, right?

No, why is my hand so rude today?

Shen Li looked at Pei Yu, "What kind of evil taste do you have? Aren't you afraid that your reputation will be damaged after the rumors spread?"

Pei Yu leaned back in his chair, still holding Shen Li's hand, "I no longer have a reputation, why do I need that thing!"

"If you want to spread it, go ahead. I don't care. It's better if it's a misunderstanding. It will save everyone from worrying about my marriage and asking matchmakers to come to my house all the time. It's troublesome."

Shen Li gave him a thumbs up, Bullfrog!

What Pei Yu didn't know had already been spread to the capital by people with ulterior motives. Some people who wanted to win him over were even thinking about whether they should send a man to King Jingnan.

He had refused women offered to him before, but now that he knew the prince’s preferences, he should prepare according to his tastes.
