Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

“Mr. Tao? Mr. Tao!” Ryan shouted.

Mr. Tao came back to his senses. “What’s wrong?”

“It should be you, right?” Ryan was puzzled. “You’ve been lost in thought since the beginning.”

“I’m sorry, I was thinking about some things in the past.” Mr. Tao looked at Shi Xi. “Where is the Princess Consort from?”

“Just call me Shi Xi. I’m not a princess yet.” Shi Xi clarified once again and said, “I’m from Feng City, China.”

“Feng City.” Mr. Tao repeated and asked, “May I know your mother’s name?”

Shi Xi: ?

Ryan: ??

“Why are you asking so many questions?” Shi Xi became cautious.

“Nothing. I just feel that you look similar to an old friend of mine. I’m sorry, I didn’t mean anything else,” Mr. Tao said apologetically.

“Is that so…” Shi Xi thought for a moment and said Mother Shi’s name. She also said Father Shi’s name. “My parents are very loving.”

Mr. Tao smiled. “Looks like I was wrong.”

“It’s okay. Beautiful people all look similar,” Shi Xi said magnanimously.

Mr. Tao finally returned to normal.

Shi Xi chatted with him for a while and realized that he was indeed knowledgeable and had his own views on current affairs.

Other than the initial rudeness, he behaved like a normal person.

Mr. Tao did not live in the palace. He only stayed in the palace for an hour before leaving.

“When we get married, I’ll let Mr. Tao send you on the red carpet.” Ryan looked forward to it, the light in his eyes grand.

Shi Xi was stunned when she saw his yearning expression.

She wasn’t stupid. She could clearly tell whether others treated her well or not.

“Do you like Mr. Tao?” Shi Xi asked suspiciously.

“Of course I like it!” Ryan said without hesitation.

“I mean, uh, the kind of love that you want to marry him.” Shi Xi’s eyes were filled with understanding. “I’m not feudal. I won’t look down on you.”

Ryan was speechless. “You’re thinking too much. I only admire his knowledge.” “Alright, 1 believe you.”

“I’ll send you back to your room.” Ryan pushed Shi Xi, and after taking a few steps, he suddenly asked, “You don’t believe it, do you?”

“Respect and blessings.”

Ryan:

Back in the room, Shi Xi thought about the details of today.

It was indeed just a joke with Ryan.

But she could tell that Ryan did not care about her.

Saying that he liked her and wanted to marry her as a princess consort was all just words.

The way Ryan looked at her was not as bright as the way he looked at Mr. Tao.

In Shi Xi’s mind, she imagined a story of a young prince and a cold tutor who loved each other but could not be together because of the secular world. In the end, they could only marry a cannon fodder female supporting character.

Of course, she was the cannon fodder supporting actress.

After thinking about it, Shi Xi sighed.

What choice did she have?

She couldn’t even get off the ground.

Sob, sob, sob, sob, sob.

When her legs recovered, she would escape from this crappy palace as soon as possible!

Not many people knew about Shi Xi’s matters in the palace.

Even to the Shi family, Shi Xu only said that Shi Xi was unwell and had been sent overseas to recuperate.

If someone wanted to visit Shi Xi, Shi Xu would delay them for various reasons.

Fortunately, Shi Xu had always been steady. The Shi family trusted him and did not suspect him.

Xie Yunzhou was also lying in the hospital.

The good news was that his heart was not hurt, but the bad news was that Second Xie had already been escorted away by Old Master Xie.

Xie Yunzhou and Second Xie’s battle for the market ended with Old Master Xie’s strong pressure.

Second Xie managed to keep his life, but all the money he invested in Feng City went down the drain..
