The Flirtatious Prince and His Savage Concubine

After lunch, Nan Wangyu accompanied Lu Lingxi to the riverside, walking and chatting.

Although Chang Wei and Xiao Hua had been running and jumping before lunch, they were still very energetic and kept circling around the two of them.

Because Nan Wangyu felt annoyed that if a group of people followed him, it would ruin the atmosphere for a stroll, so he asked the others to wait where they were.

Lu Lingxi recalled that a few days ago, when Nan Wangyu was with him, he always liked to send the servants away, so he asked, "Don't you like a large group of people following you?"

Nan Wangyu thought for a moment and replied, "When I'm with you, I don't like too many people following me. I feel like they will distract you and you won't be able to concentrate on talking to me. How can you understand me without talking?"

Lu Lingxi never expected this to be the reason. She thought Nan Wangyu was the same as her. It was difficult for him to relax when there were other people around, so he liked to be alone or with people he was familiar with.

"Lingxi, do you know? The day you saved me, although I was soaking in the water and couldn't move, I was conscious. If I had met someone else at that time, I wouldn't have dared to faint afterwards, and my nerves would have been in a tense state. I couldn't have maintained that state for long and I might have really died. But when I saw it was you, I felt relieved and felt that I was finally saved."

Lu Lingxi was puzzled: "Why? You know me, have we met before?"

"Yes. The first time I saw you was in the Imperial Garden. You were busy fighting with other women. I only saw a blurry figure that time, but I couldn't see what you looked like. Then, when you saved Chang Wei and Xiao Hua that day, I was also nearby. I saw you flying a kite here, and I knew you saved them. I knew you were kind-hearted. You didn't consider that I came from an unknown background, but just thought that I was a living being."

What Nan Wangyu didn't say was, of course, because Chunhong was also there, she was his own person, and when necessary he could reveal his identity and let Chunhong protect herself.

Lu Lingxi had never known that this was the image of him in Nan Wangyu's mind. He was somewhat flattered and said, "It was a long time ago. It was just a piece of cake. Besides, I also asked you for three promises later. We are even now. Don't worry about it. Really, don't worry about it..."

Lu Lingxi had many more polite words to say, but Nan Wangyu interrupted him and said, "Lingxi, I'm not saying these words to clear the air with you. I just want to tell you that I really like you, even love you, not because of your family background, but because of your character and personality."

Faced with Nan Wangyu's sudden and serious confession, Lu Lingxi was a little at a loss. She had to use Chang Wei and Xiaohua beside her to divert her attention. She lowered her head and said, "Oh, Xiaohua, you stepped on my skirt." After that, she pretended to chase out to settle the score with Xiaohua.

Nan Wangyu didn't want Lu Lingxi to change the subject this time. He pulled Lu Lingxi over, pinched her shoulders, forced her to look straight at him, and repeated: "Lingxi, I said I love you, did you hear me?"

Seeing Nan Wangyu's serious expression, Lu Lingxi couldn't make a joke for a moment, so he could only respond: "I know, I know."

At this moment, she really regretted it. Just now, she felt that it was not good to have a large group of people following her. It felt like she was being watched and not free. Now, she really hoped that someone would follow her so that someone could rescue her.

Seeing the embarrassed look on Lu Lingxi's face, Nan Wangyu continued to ask without giving up: "What about you, do you like me a little bit now?"

Lu Lingxi was a little upset at this time. Wasn't this man the prince of a country and in a difficult situation? Shouldn't his mind be full of power and checks and balances, etc.? Why was his mind full of love affairs, and he only knew how to embarrass me?

Before, she could say "I don't like" without hesitation. Now they are more or less friends, so she can't say she doesn't like him so heartlessly. Besides, they will live under the same roof in the future, and they will see each other every day. It would be so embarrassing to refuse to meet him in the future. But she couldn't say the word "like" casually to perfunctorily.

After a long while, Lu Lingxi remained silent and looked at her toes without answering. Nan Wangyu knew that he would not get the expected answer. He silently took Lu Lingxi into his arms. This time, he made sure that Lu Lingxi tilted her head to the side and did not hold her back. Patting her back, he said softly, "Lingxi, don't be afraid. I don't mean to force you. I just want you to know what I think in my heart. It doesn't matter. We still have a long time to live together. Take your time. I'll wait for you."

Lu Lingxi let him hold her without resisting, thinking: Fortunately, he is strong enough inside and found a way out himself, otherwise she would have wanted to just turn around and run away.

Everyone watching the two hugging each other from afar smiled. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and the Crown Princess have a really good relationship. They must be talking about something private. When their love was strong, they snuggled together. I wonder if they will kiss each other later.

Under the expectant gazes of everyone, Nan Wangyu slowly let go of Lu Lingxi in his arms, said something with a smile, and then walked back holding hands.

After Nan Wangyu and Lu Lingxi returned to the place where they had lunch, they asked someone to pack up and prepare to go home.

Lu Lingxi had just run a lot, and the hem of her skirt was quite dirty, so she got on the carriage to change her clothes first, and Nan Wangyu got on the carriage after she had changed.

Because it was still early, on the way back, Lu Lingxi suddenly had the urge to eat the roast goose from Zui Xiang Lou, which was said to be Lu Yi's favorite.

Nan Wangyu and Lu Lingxi had not originally planned to go shopping today, so they wore slightly better clothes, which made them look like noble ladies and would attract attention. So they assigned Liu Lu to go shopping. Their carriage stopped at the corner of the street, but they did not get off.

Originally, Zui Xiang Lou was not far from the carriage, but Liu Lu took a long time to come back, and when she came back, she had a look of resentment on her face.

Lu Lingxi opened the curtain on the side of the carriage and saw Liu Lu's unhappy face. He asked, "What's wrong with you? You look unhappy. Didn't you buy the roast goose?"

Liu Lu shook the oil-paper bag in her hand and replied, "Did you buy it?"

"You've bought it, why are you still looking so worried? Did someone bully you?"

"No, it's..." Liu Lu hesitated for a moment, but didn't say it out loud. Finally, she said softly, "My lady, it's not convenient to explain in detail here. I'll tell you in detail after we return home."

After Lu Lingxi nodded in agreement, Liu Lu got on her own carriage.

Lu Lingxi lowered the curtains and said to Nan Wangyu, "I don't know what's wrong with Liu Lu. She came back with a sad face after buying a roast goose. Did the shopkeeper of Zui Xiang Lou embarrass her? That's not right. Why would the shopkeeper embarrass her for no reason?"

Nan Wangyu gave Lu Lingxi a reassuring smile and said, "Don't worry, you'll know when you go back home and ask."
