Hearing Sang Hongrui's scolding, the maid holding her hand said respectfully: "Miss Sang Hong, just now you accused our house of poorly prepared dishes and poor hospitality. Our aunt has already heard it. But you He also said that this is disrespect for the fourth son of my family, so my aunt had to let Miss Sang Hong taste the taste of this soup, so as not to misunderstand you. Why are you angry?"
Since Sang Hongrui arrived in the capital, she has been deflated again and again, and she is simply at odds with the Sheng family.The last time she was ridiculed by Bai Yiling, it was just a verbal sarcasm, but his sister was even more powerful, directly instigating people to fight!
Out of the corner of Sang Hongrui's eyes, he saw Sang Hongjin get up and stride towards him. He simply fell on his side and fell to the ground, crying, "Brother, let's come to Sheng's house as a guest. They were just picky about the dishes, and they beat people with their hands! Even a servant dares to touch me, I will chop up the hand of this lowly servant girl and feed it to the dogs!"
Sang Hongjin's complexion was very ugly, and he could clearly see the male guests in the scene just now. Although he blamed his sister for causing trouble, it was true that he loved her.If it weren't for the connivance of his father and brother, Sang Hongrui's temper would not have developed like this.
Sang Hongjin said in a deep voice: "Duke Zhen, my sister was spoiled and spoiled at home since she was a child, and she has always been used to speaking out. She is a little girl, so just listen to her words, please don't take it to heart. But your house The servant is so unruly and offended the guests, shouldn't he be dragged down and killed?"
Sheng Mian and his sons all came over at this time. Sang Hongjin's intention was obviously to make a big problem smaller and push all the conflicts to a servant. It's "just picking on the food", and there is nothing wrong with it.
Sheng Mian is his elder, and he doesn't argue with Sang Hongjin. Sheng Duo stood up and said with a slight smile: "Mr. Sang Hong, you can't control your sister's open mouth, and I can't control my sister's temper." Sister, your maid accidentally pushed Miss Sang Hong down, what should I do?"
The two brothers and sisters exchanged glances, Sheng Yang Yingying smiled, and said, "Brother, what are you talking about? Didn't you see what happened just now? Miss Sang Hong wanted to slap me in the face, and Jin Shu did it to protect me." I will hold her up, if such a loyal servant will be punished, who will dare to work in our house in the future?"
She said Sheng Duo clearly, but she answered Sang Hongjin privately. Sang Hongjin said in a deep voice, "So, do you mean that my sister deserves to suffer?"
The smile on Sheng Yang's face suddenly sank, he looked at him and said: "Wrong! What did your sister suffer? A girl like her who comes to other people's homes and picks and makes trouble for no reason, if she was born in our Sheng family, I’ve already been slapped in the face by now! Let me help you remind her Zhili, you should have thanked me, but now you still blame me like this, I don’t know where the reason came from. What’s wrong, or Mr. Sang Hong’s family didn’t discipline his daughter like this ?"
Sang Hongjin didn't expect this woman's temper to be so fierce, and she couldn't maintain her demeanor, and said angrily, "You—"
Sheng Yang said: "What about me? You clearly know that the Sheng family's banquet is to celebrate my younger brother's return, but you insist on turning black and white, sowing discord, saying that we don't value him. What's the intention of doing this? You can't see other people's life is good, Or are you afraid that the sons and daughters of the Sheng family will unite and become too powerful? I really want to ask Miss Sang Hong about this matter, but what kind of conspiracy do you have in mind?"
The more Sang Hongrui and Sang Hongjin said that it was just a little girl who was picky about the dishes and made things smaller, the more Sheng Yang wanted to rise to the top and regard them as conspiracy theories, Sang Hongjin was so angry that he couldn't even speak At this time, Sang Hongrui was almost on the verge of rage, and he called his subordinates over sharply, pointed at the maid beside Sheng Yang and said, "Beat that lowly maidservant to death!"
Sheng Duo went over, stood in front of Sheng Yang, and said flatly, "Today, I'll see who dares to attack Sheng's house."
Everyone didn't expect Sang Hongrui to be so mean, but they also didn't expect the Sheng family to be so tough, so the scene was at a stalemate for a moment.At this time, Lu Qi's voice sounded, and he said unhurriedly: "Prince Changshuo, please listen to me."
When Sang Hongrui heard his voice, his eyes immediately turned red.
Sheng Duo bowed slightly, and said, "My lord, please tell me."
Lu Qidao: "It's a happy event for everyone to welcome Xia Guang back to the mansion today. It's rare for so many guests to get together, so everyone should take a step back. Ms. Sang Hong probably drank a little wine and lost her composure for a while, so she didn't hold back her words Some. Asking her to give you a gift, this matter is not worth entanglement. Zhen Guogong, what do you think?"
Sheng Mian said: "What the King of Linzhang said is very true, thank you for your trouble. Since Miss Sang Hong drank too much, we will not forcefully keep the guest, and we will send someone to escort her back to the mansion in a while."
In fact, no matter whether it was Lu Qi or Sheng Mian, both of them knew that Sang Hongrui hadn't even touched a drop of alcohol since he sat down. Lu Xun used this as an excuse for her, and Sheng Mian simply took the opportunity to chase away the guests.
Lu Qi smiled gracefully and said, "This arrangement couldn't be better."
After Lu Qi smoothed things over in the middle, although the Sheng family didn't say anything more, Sang Hongrui couldn't stay at the banquet any longer. Under Lu Qi's gaze, she was full of resentment, and she was still reluctant after all. He made an apology to the members of the Sheng family, then angrily shook his hands and walked outside.
When passing by Bai Yiling, Sang Hongrui stopped in his tracks and glared at her angrily.
Bai Yiling smiled and said: "Miss Sang Hong, if you have an eye disease, treat it as soon as possible, so that it is not easy to fall into the problem."
Sang Hongrui was so angry that he almost wanted to kick him, and said coldly: "Don't bother Mr. Bai."
After she finished speaking, she was about to turn around and leave, but she was still thinking about Bai Yiling's words in her heart. She was a little dizzy from the anger, and she didn't look at the road for a while. A cauldron for roasting mutton, the stove with sparks suddenly overturned, pouring out countless coals.
Sang Hongrui really didn't do it on purpose this time, she screamed in fright.Bai Yiling raised his eyes and saw Sheng Ji standing beside the stove with his back to the stove. He quickly went over and grabbed him, but Sheng Ji was torn away, and the burning red iron frame was about to smash into his chest. on the arm.
At that time, Lu Qi also saw this scene.
He didn't know what he was thinking either.Obviously, he had made up his mind to be an enemy from now on, and he would never leave any room for him, but after receiving the invitation from the Sheng family, he still came.
He deliberately didn't look at Bai Yiling as if angry, but the corner of his eye could always catch his figure without hindrance.This person is getting more and more attractive, and it takes a lot of effort for him to pretend to be indifferent like this.
Seeing Bai Yiling occasionally turn his head to smile at Lu Yu and say a few words, he felt even more sullen and bitter in his heart, wishing he could strangle these two people to death on the spot.
But hating him so much, when he saw the iron frame falling down, Lu Qi didn't think much, pushed away the person blocking him, strode over, and was about to hug Bai Yiling to block him.
His fingertips slid across Bai Yiling's arm, and just as he was about to grab his hand, another person had already grasped the other person's shoulders. He couldn't help but pull him behind him, and he slashed straight with his sword. The iron frame covered in white smoke was crushed. The long sword was pressed to the ground, making a "hissing" sound, and a burning smell came.
Lu Yu put his arms around Bai Yiling's waist with one hand, and held the sword in the other. He stared at Lu Qi without a smile on his face, then turned to ask Bai Yiling, "Is it burning? Let me see, are you okay?"
After Sheng Ji was torn apart by Bai Yiling, he looked back to realize what happened, his expression changed, and he hurried over to see him.
Bai Yiling said: "I'm fine, I'm not hurt at all."
Only then did Lu Yu feel relieved. He pulled up a sword flower, and without even looking at it, he simply retracted his hand, and the long sword was retracted into its sheath with a snap. He looked at Lu Qi, and thanked Lu Qi : "Thank you, Uncle Huang, for your enthusiasm, you are not injured, are you?"
Lu Qi brushed off his sleeves, and said calmly, "I have accepted Yu'er's concern, and she was not injured. As for thanking you, I didn't save you, so you can keep it to yourself."
Lu Yu laughed with a "heh": "Uncle Huang still likes to deceive himself and others like this, no matter. Anyway, you can't save this person."
Lu Qi's eyebrows twitched: "..."
Lu Yu raised his chin cheaply again, indicating another direction: "The person that the emperor should care about is on the other side!"
Lu Qi followed his gaze and saw that Sang Hongrui was being helped up from the ground.Her hand was scalded by charcoal fire, but she didn't check her injury, but stared at Lu Qi fiercely and strangely.
Only then did Lu Qi realize that just now he was in a hurry to save Bai Yiling, and instinctively pushed the person in front of him away, and the person he pushed seemed to be Sang Hongrui.
He paused, and wanted to step forward, but when he thought of so many pairs of eyes around him, he hesitated for a moment, then turned his head to the side.
Sang Hongrui's eyes suddenly showed incomparable resentment, Lu Qi didn't save her, he just pushed her away in full view for someone else, and that person was Bai Yiling who just hurt her!
Lu Qi couldn't care less about taking care of Sang Hongrui's emotions anymore, he was in a mess, seeing Bai Yiling surrounded by several people asking questions, and the surrounding guests were also busy, caring, or whispering excitedly about the farce , he suddenly felt that he was not in the mood, and he didn't want to eat this meal, so he dealt with Sheng Mian casually, and left Sheng's house with the excuse of having a headache.
The entourage behind him wanted to wait for him to get on the horse, Lu Qi waved his hand and said: "This king wants to walk alone, so you follow farther away."
The attendants looked at each other, bowed and then backed away, making sure to keep a distance from Lu Qi at such a level that they could not see what he was going to do and could arrive in time in case of an accident.
Lu Qi's heart was in a mess, he walked along the street by himself, but all he could think about was when Bai Yiling was younger, and he followed him to these places.
Entering a deserted alley, Lu Qi couldn't help punching the wall beside him, which made his bones ache.
But under the reminder of this pain, he somehow remembered that it was the same hand just now, covering the back of Bai Yiling's hand, and it was almost able to hold him in the first place.
Lu Qi spread his fists in front of his eyes, his heart was itchy.He actually took the risk of being scalded to save others. Is he afraid that the burn marks on his body will not look good, or is he afraid that he will hurt and see him get hurt in front of him?It's because I feel distressed and can't bear to part with it. I have not only desire but also love in my heart.
He thought that he could take this opportunity to hug Bai Yiling and let him see how good he was, but in the end he was snatched away by Lu Yu again, and he really couldn't swallow this breath.
Lu Qi finally returned to his mansion. He was bored and didn't really want to see anyone. The housekeeper eagerly greeted him, and Lu Qi ordered: "Until tomorrow morning, the king will not see any guests, no matter who they are. Here you go, stop me too."
The housekeeper smiled wryly: "My lord, over there in the main hall... there are already guests coming, and the villain really can't stop them."
Lu Qi was slightly taken aback, and immediately realized who the person would be, cut off the butler's words, and said with a calm face: "Let everyone else go down."
He raised his hand and pressed his temple, and stepped into the front hall.
Sang Hongrui, dressed in fine clothes, was sitting there with a cold face, her face was charming, but her expression was quite cold. Her injured hand was wrapped in a thick white cloth and rested on the armrest of the chair.
If nothing happened, Lu Qi asked knowingly: "You were injured, why didn't you go back and rest well, why did you come to my place?"
Sang Hongrui raised his eyes and stared straight at his face, expressionless and without a glance.
The softness and pain in Lu Qi's heart disappeared all of a sudden, and his face was a little heavy. He suppressed the impatience in his heart, sat in another seat, and said, "What's the matter with you?"
Sang Hongrui said slowly: "The person you like is Bai Yiling?"
Lu Qi's heart skipped a beat, but his expression remained calm, and he scolded lightly: "Nonsense, what are you thinking."
He took a sip of tea, softened his voice, and said, "It's too chaotic in Sheng's family today. You shouldn't offend them so early. I will speak out to give you a step down. People from that family It's not easy to deal with, don't mess around next time."
Sang Hongrui remained motionless, and said again: "The person you like is Bai Yiling?"
Lu Qi frowned, looked down at the tea in the cup, took another sip, and said lightly: "I have already promised that I will definitely make you my princess, what are you thinking so much about?"
Sang Hongrui said: "The person you like is Bai Yiling."
From seeing Lu Qi to now, she has only spoken three sentences in total. No matter what Lu Qi said, every word and even the rhythm of her three sentences are exactly the same. The only difference is the first two sentences. The first sentence is a question, and the last sentence is an affirmation.Coupled with her faint eyes, she looks like a lunatic, which makes people shudder.
Lu Qi paused in his heart, turned back and put the teacup heavily on the table beside him, making a clear knocking sound, the tea spilled out, and weird patterns spread on the table, anger was already in his voice: " You are done!"
"What do you mean I'm endless, now it's you! It's you—"
Sang Hongrui jumped up suddenly, swept the teacup beside her to the ground with a wave, and screamed, "Lu Qi, you lied to me so hard! Do you know how much I have done for you? I offended the Sheng family like that today because I didn't want to listen to my father's advice to marry Bai Yiling, and my brother also said that he was going to ask the emperor for an order tomorrow! But you, you actually like him?!"
Sang Hongrui was so angry that he almost went mad: "You saved him desperately, for fear that he would get hurt, and even pushed me down because of him! Don't deny it, don't deny it!"
Lu Qi was already angry in his heart, but at this time, he was even more angry when he was provoked by Sang Hongrui, and he simply said: "Yes, I have nothing to deny, I just have him in my heart, what?"
Sang Hongrui's face turned pale.
Women are always extra sensitive about this aspect, although she realized it at the time, but hearing Lu Qi admit it personally was quite shocking.
She has liked Lu Qi for so long, and she is willing to do anything for him, but she still can't impress him. In the end, he told himself, he fell in love with a man?Why, because of that face?
Sang Hongrui thought of Bai Yiling's appearance, his teeth itched with hatred, and he wished he could tear off his face and stick it on his own.
She said angrily: "Okay, I finally admit it. You like him, so what am I? What am I! Can I not even compare to a man? You know that the emperor wants to win the title, and my family can no longer be wasted like this." Go on! My father wants me to marry into Duke Huai's lineage to delay the time, and I deliberately ruined this opportunity for you!"
After a while, Lu Qicai said lightly: "Really? I really didn't know about this before."
Sang Hongrui glanced at him, but saw that the corners of the other party's lips curved into a smile that was not a smile, and his eyes fell on his face, like two knives.Lu Qi seldom showed such an expression in front of her, but he had to say that his appearance was so terrifying that even Sang Hongrui subconsciously stopped his voice.
Lu Qi sighed and said mockingly: "Now you have basically screwed up the chance of attaching to Duke Huai. Who else can help you except me?"
Sang Hongrui gritted his teeth and said, "But I did this for you. I like you with all my heart, but you are all for others."
Endless jealousy and resentment surged in her heart, almost frantically wanting to take everything the other party had for herself: "Bai Yiling, how is he better than me?!"
Lu Qi said lightly: "Before you ask this question, you might as well think about what you want to compare yourself with him. Appearance? Brain? Or temperament? I'm afraid even you don't dare to stand side by side with him, so how can you?" How about you ask me this? At least if Bai Yiling is standing here now, he won't use such boring moves against me."
Sang Hongrui was so angry that she was dizzy, looking at Lu Qi as if she wanted to rush up and bite him hard, but at this moment, Lu Qi suddenly smiled, raised his hand and pinched her chin, and changed the topic: "But These are all secondary. The biggest difference between the two of you is that you are on my side, and he is the enemy I have to deal with."
Sang Hongrui was stunned suddenly.
Lu Qi's hand stroked the skin on her chin, but rubbed his hand full of powder, he couldn't help thinking of the moment when he wanted to hold Bai Yiling, he lost all interest, let go of his hand and said:
"I said a long time ago that you should change your temper. Listening to the wind is like rain, and you have been arguing with me for so long. Maybe you think that Bai Yiling has a close relationship with Lu Yu and is a member of the Sheng family? No matter what What kind of thoughts do I have for him, can I really do something with him?"
Sang Hongrui gradually calmed down, thinking about it, there is nothing wrong with what he said!
With a few words, Lu Qi calmed her down easily, and then said at the opportunity: "You are the concubine I have identified, and I will not hide anything from you - in fact, Bai Yiling has long been a member of Lu Yu. Is it possible to rob someone with my own nephew?"
Sang Hongrui was really unexpected this time, but thinking about how many times he saw the performance of the two of them, the more he thought about it, the more he felt something was wrong.The reason why she didn't realize this before was because she didn't pay much attention to Lu Yu, and because Bai Yiling was not at all the same as the legendary male pet boy, so Sang Hongrui didn't think much about it.
Her eyes lit up all of a sudden: "If this matter is publicized..."
Lu Qi sneered and said: "Women are women after all, they always focus on those trivial things, how can they understand the contest between men? What can you do if you spread it out? Is the two of them afraid of ruining their reputation, or is it because they are together A romantic affair can lose people's hearts? It's really short-sighted, it's useless to think about it!"
Since Sang Hongrui arrived in the capital, she has been deflated again and again, and she is simply at odds with the Sheng family.The last time she was ridiculed by Bai Yiling, it was just a verbal sarcasm, but his sister was even more powerful, directly instigating people to fight!
Out of the corner of Sang Hongrui's eyes, he saw Sang Hongjin get up and stride towards him. He simply fell on his side and fell to the ground, crying, "Brother, let's come to Sheng's house as a guest. They were just picky about the dishes, and they beat people with their hands!

Although he blamed his sister for causing trouble, it was true that he loved her.If it weren't for the connivance of his father and brother, Sang Hongrui's temper would not have developed like this.
Sang Hongjin said in a deep voice: "Duke Zhen, my sister was spoiled and spoiled at home since she was a child, and she has always been used to speaking out. She is a little girl, so just listen to her words, please don't take it to heart. But your house The servant is so unruly and offended the guests, shouldn't he be dragged down and killed?"
Sheng Mian and his sons all came over at this time. Sang Hongjin's intention was obviously to make a big problem smaller and push all the conflicts to a servant. It's "just picking on the food", and there is nothing wrong with it.
Sheng Mian is his elder, and he doesn't argue with Sang Hongjin. Sheng Duo stood up and said with a slight smile: "Mr. Sang Hong, you can't control your sister's open mouth, and I can't control my sister's temper." Sister, your maid accidentally pushed Miss Sang Hong down, what should I do?"
The two brothers and sisters exchanged glances, Sheng Yang Yingying smiled, and said, "Brother, what are you talking about? Didn't you see what happened just now?

She said Sheng Duo clearly, but she answered Sang Hongjin privately. Sang Hongjin said in a deep voice, "So, do you mean that my sister deserves to suffer?"
The smile on Sheng Yang's face suddenly sank, he looked at him and said: "Wrong! What did your sister suffer? A girl like her who comes to other people's homes and picks and makes trouble for no reason, if she was born in our Sheng family, I’ve already been slapped in the face by now! Let me help you remind her Zhili, you should have thanked me, but now you still blame me like this, I don’t know where the reason came from. What’s wrong, or Mr. Sang Hong’s family didn’t discipline his daughter like this ?"
Sang Hongjin didn't expect this woman's temper to be so fierce, and she couldn't maintain her demeanor, and said angrily, "You—"
Sheng Yang said: "What about me?

He looked at Lu Qi, and thanked Lu Qi : "Thank you, Uncle Huang, for your enthusiasm, you are not injured, are you?"

Lu Qi's heart skipped a beat, but his expression remained calm, and he scolded lightly: "Nonsense, what are you thinking."
He took a sip of tea, softened his voice, and said, "It's too chaotic in Sheng's family today. You shouldn't offend them so early. I will speak out to give you a step down. People from that family It's not easy to deal with, don't mess around next time."
Sang Hongrui remained motionless, and said again: "The person you like is Bai Yiling?"
Lu Qi frowned, looked down at the tea in the cup, took another sip, and said lightly: "I have already promised that I will definitely make you my princess, what are you thinking so much about?"
Sang Hongrui said: "The person you like is Bai Yiling."
From seeing Lu Qi to now, she has only spoken three sentences in total. No matter what Lu Qi said, every word and even the rhythm of her three sentences are exactly the same. The only difference is the first two sentences. The first sentence is a question, and the last sentence is an affirmation.Coupled with her faint eyes, she looks like a lunatic, which makes people shudder.
Lu Qi paused in his heart, turned back and put the teacup heavily on the table beside him, making a clear knocking sound, the tea spilled out, and weird patterns spread on the table, anger was already in his voice: " You are done!"
"What do you mean I'm endless, now it's you! It's you—"
Sang Hongrui jumped up suddenly, swept the teacup beside her to the ground with a wave, and screamed, "Lu Qi, you lied to me so hard! Do you know how much I have done for you? I offended the Sheng family like that today because I didn't want to listen to my father's advice to marry Bai Yiling, and my brother also said that he was going to ask the emperor for an order tomorrow! But you, you actually like him?!"
Sang Hongrui was so angry that he almost went mad: "You saved him desperately, for fear that he would get hurt, and even pushed me down because of him! Don't deny it, don't deny it!"
Lu Qi was already angry in his heart, but at this time, he was even more angry when he was provoked by Sang Hongrui, and he simply said: "Yes, I have nothing to deny, I just have him in my heart, what?"
Sang Hongrui's face turned pale.
Women are always extra sensitive about this aspect, although she realized it at the time, but hearing Lu Qi admit it personally was quite shocking.
She has liked Lu Qi for so long, and she is willing to do anything for him, but she still can't impress him. In the end, he told himself, he fell in love with a man?Why, because of that face?
Sang Hongrui thought of Bai Yiling's appearance, his teeth itched with hatred, and he wished he could tear off his face and stick it on his own.
She said angrily: "Okay, I finally admit it. You like him, so what am I? What am I! Can I not even compare to a man? You know that the emperor wants to win the title, and my family can no longer be wasted like this." Go on! My father wants me to marry into Duke Huai's lineage to delay the time, and I deliberately ruined this opportunity for you!"
After a while, Lu Qicai said lightly: "Really? I really didn't know about this before."
Sang Hongrui glanced at him, but saw that the corners of the other party's lips curved into a smile that was not a smile, and his eyes fell on his face, like two knives.Lu Qi seldom showed such an expression in front of her, but he had to say that his appearance was so terrifying that even Sang Hongrui subconsciously stopped his voice.
Lu Qi sighed and said mockingly: "Now you have basically screwed up the chance of attaching to Duke Huai. Who else can help you except me?"
Sang Hongrui gritted his teeth and said, "But I did this for you. I like you with all my heart, but you are all for others."
Endless jealousy and resentment surged in her heart, almost frantically wanting to take everything the other party had for herself: "Bai Yiling, how is he better than me?!"
Lu Qi said lightly: "Before you ask this question, you might as well think about what you want to compare yourself with him. Appearance? Brain? Or temperament? I'm afraid even you don't dare to stand side by side with him, so how can you?" How about you ask me this? At least if Bai Yiling is standing here now, he won't use such boring moves against me."
Sang Hongrui was so angry that she was dizzy, looking at Lu Qi as if she wanted to rush up and bite him hard, but at this moment, Lu Qi suddenly smiled, raised his hand and pinched her chin, and changed the topic: "But These are all secondary. The biggest difference between the two of you is that you are on my side, and he is the enemy I have to deal with."
Sang Hongrui was stunned suddenly.
Lu Qi's hand stroked the skin on her chin, but rubbed his hand full of powder, he couldn't help thinking of the moment when he wanted to hold Bai Yiling, he lost all interest, let go of his hand and said:
"I said a long time ago that you should change your temper. Listening to the wind is like rain, and you have been arguing with me for so long. Maybe you think that Bai Yiling has a close relationship with Lu Yu and is a member of the Sheng family? No matter what What kind of thoughts do I have for him, can I really do something with him?"
Sang Hongrui gradually calmed down, thinking about it, there is nothing wrong with what he said!
With a few words, Lu Qi calmed her down easily, and then said at the opportunity: "You are the concubine I have identified, and I will not hide anything from you - in fact, Bai Yiling has long been a member of Lu Yu. Is it possible to rob someone with my own nephew?"
Sang Hongrui was really unexpected this time, but thinking about how many times he saw the performance of the two of them, the more he thought about it, the more he felt something was wrong.The reason why she didn't realize this before was because she didn't pay much attention to Lu Yu, and because Bai Yiling was not at all the same as the legendary male pet boy, so Sang Hongrui didn't think much about it.
Her eyes lit up all of a sudden: "If this matter is publicized..."
Lu Qi sneered and said: "Women are women after all, they always focus on those trivial things, how can they understand the contest between men? What can you do if you spread it out? Is the two of them afraid of ruining their reputation, or is it because they are together A romantic affair can lose people's hearts? It's really short-sighted, it's useless to think about it!"
