Ancient women awaken: loving yourself is the way to go

Shen Xingxi quickened her pace for some unknown reason, and soon saw Yun Jingce leaning against the wall, staring at the window not far away, breathing rapidly.

If she hadn't noticed Yun Jingce's abnormality, she would have looked at him with disdain and said, "Even snails can surpass you. At this speed, when will you be able to eat?"

Prince Yun closed his eyes and stretched out his hand. His voice was a little hoarse because of the dark picture in his mind: "Then Nanny Yan, help me speed up. Can I treat you to a meal?"

"If you don't call me sister, it will be inconvenient for Nanny Yan." Shen Xingxi looked up at the sky, "Don't let me look down on you. Wait for me at the restaurant in front. I will change my identity."

King Yun took a deep breath and said, "Then we'll see you there."

"You say that as if I would wait for you." Shen Xingxi sneered and walked forward first.

Judging from Yun Jingce's behavior, he is not born afraid of thunder and lightning, but more like he is afraid of something.

Therefore, you will not have an attack when you have something urgent on your mind or when your attention is distracted.

Rather than pulling Yun Jingce out of his cage for a moment, she preferred to let him overcome it on his own.

[System, do you know Yun Jingce's true background? ]

System: [Host, there is nothing in the gossip database. Maybe he is not worth gossiping about? ]

[Well, if you say it's not worth it, then it's not worth it.] Shen Xingxi agreed casually, covering up the wrong thoughts in her heart.

Although the system is not as smart as her, it is not so smart as to say something that is not worth gossiping about after seeing that Yun Jingce has psychological trauma.

It's more like using a joking tone to cover up the truth.

She walked into Nanny Yan's villa in the capital and entered the courtyard next door through a secret passage.

The courtyard next door is Mr. Shen’s villa in the capital, which he bought for the convenience of changing his identity.

In a blink of an eye, the suave Mr. Shen walked into the agreed restaurant with a folding fan in one hand and an umbrella in the other, walking at a leisurely pace.

"Mr. Shen is really quick." Prince Yun's face was as pale as paper, his lips were colorless, and his voice was trembling, but he still walked to the restaurant by himself.

Shen Xingxi looked back, curved her eyebrows, walked up to him with an umbrella, stretched out her arm and hooked it around his shoulders, "Mr. Yun is faster than I thought."

She punched his elastic and soft chest muscles, "Looks like it's still solid."

Lightning flashed in the sky, illuminating Mr. Shen under the umbrella.

That look was like a spring morning.

Prince Yun suddenly understood why he fell in love with the princess.

They were colleagues who had worked together day and night for three years and had clashed with each other several times, but they had a common bottom line: never involve innocent civilians.

So even though they knew the other party was an enemy, they eventually chose to cooperate.

Tacit understanding is formed in the process of getting along with each other, and sometimes you can understand each other's meaning with just a glance.

He even thought about persuading Mr. Shen to submit to him and work for him after he ascended the throne.

Trusting someone who already has a boyfriend is a taboo, but he made an exception for her. It all came down to the princess's charm.

He admired her intelligence, knowledge and ability.

Her concern is rarely expressed, but it comforts the other person in the most comfortable way.

Feelings were like a seed buried deep in his heart, which had already taken root and sprouted silently. After knowing that Mr. Shen had married him with his real identity, this emotion seemed to be given life, and it suddenly burst into dazzling light.

Thinking of the princess' silent concern, my heart felt comforted like a stove in winter.

He struggled to break free from the cage and moved towards his goal with difficulty. Fatigue and fear almost overwhelmed him many times, but he was filled with fighting spirit by the words "Don't let me look down on you".

But along the way, it is inevitable that I have exhausted all my energy.

He could feel the fragility that he couldn't hide, but he tried to cover it up with a relaxed tone.

But he knew that beneath the peaceful appearance, there was a heart full of holes. Just a slight poke and all his persistence would be in vain, and he would return to the dark cage.

But the princess affirmed his persistence.

Maybe in the future when he sees thunder and lightning he will still think of the past, and he will still feel heartache and difficulty breathing, but he will also think of the princess illuminated by the lightning, and have the courage to get rid of the darkness.

With a strong sense of friendship surging in his eyes, he took off his raincoat and expressed his gratitude in his words: "With Mr. Shen holding the umbrella, this shackle becomes dispensable, so as not to wet Mr. Shen's hands."

Shen Xingxi chuckled, got closer to him, and whispered to his ear with her lips: "I would rather take advantage of you without any obstacles, but how can I take off my raincoat?"

The heavy mood was replaced by helplessness, the corners of his lips slightly raised, he glanced at her, "If you want to see me do it myself, Yun is not willing to do it for you."

"If that's the case, then forget it." Shen Xingxi shook his head helplessly, "Who said I'm a gentleman? I never do anything rogue in public."

[But this may not be the case if it is not in public. ]

Prince Yun smiled helplessly and nodded gently: "As you wish, Mr. Shen."

"Then let's go in and eat. You can't go back on your word. I'm going to charge you a lot of money." Shen Xingxi pushed Yun Jingce forward.

Prince Yun glanced at her sideways and said, "My salary for the past 16 months is in the hands of Mr. Shen. Mr. Shen is so embarrassed to rip me off."

"You're so thick-skinned, there's nothing I can do about it." Shen Xingxi closed the umbrella, casually threw it to the waiter, and waved his folding fan, looking quite a rogue.

Prince Yun's eyes were filled with her shadow, "Then I'll have the waiter serve all the signature dishes to live up to Mr. Shen's reputation for being thick-skinned."

"Hahahaha...Mr. Yun, I'm scared. I still need this reputation. Besides, I don't have the habit of leaving leftovers. If you order too much, you have to finish it all by yourself."

A flash of surprise flashed across Prince Yun's eyes. This habit was only possessed by poor families who could not afford food. Why would the princess have it?

But he really couldn't eat that much, so he ordered: "Put six mouthfuls of each of your signature dishes on the table, and give the rest to the beggars."

Shen Xingxi lowered her eyes to hide the satisfaction in her eyes, and entered the private room with Yun Jingce.

After finishing their meal, the two of them went into the East Palace together.

The prince had been waiting for a long time. When he heard that Mr. Shen and Mr. Yun came together, his expression was complicated.

He stood up and welcomed Mr. Shen into the room.

Shen Xingxi thanked him with a fake smile.

[The prince's attentiveness is also frustrating. 】

The prince was immediately provoked and asked, "Mr. Yun, what are you thinking? Isn't it enough to have Mr. Shen and me? Why are you also interested in Nanny Yan?"

Prince Yun gritted his teeth and was about to open his mouth to defend himself.

Shen Xingxi's eyes were filled with interest, and she explained without hesitation: "Actually, Nanny Yan is my confidante."
