Jiang Shuyue looked at the smiling man and was a little dazed. He was very different from the serious man in her memory, as if he had become a different person.

Maybe it was just that she never really understood Xiao Lin in her previous life.

However, Xiao Lin's smile did not last long, and he soon frowned in pain.

Old Madam Xiao waved her chopsticks and looked at her son who was in pain from being beaten. "Stinky boy, that's Shu Yue's place. She can go there if she wants."

Xiao Lin smiled bitterly. He knew what the old lady meant. She was afraid that he would anger her good daughter-in-law, but he was just teasing her.

Jiang Shuyue watched Xiao Lin being beaten like a child, knowing that he didn't really feel any pain. How could the old lady be willing to really put in the effort to hit him?

She didn't want to accompany him, but some things were more convenient to say outside.

"I suddenly remembered that there's something I haven't told Brother Hu yet, and I'm afraid it will be too late to tell him tomorrow morning."

"Shu Yue, there's no need to explain so much. Just do whatever you want. That brat has no right to control you." Old Mrs. Xiao said.

Xiao Lin smiled bitterly, "Mom, I think you picked me up."

Old Madam Xiao snorted coldly, "Aren't you picked up by your father?"

"But I am your son too."

Xiao Lin's words touched the heart of Old Lady Xiao. Many people said that this son was untreatable and it was useless to be nice to him.

No, they were wrong.

Old Mrs. Xiao smiled and said, "After you two finish eating, go and do your own things. I'll clean up the dishes."

"Auntie, let me help you." Jiang Liuyun said sensibly.

"No need for you, go study."

Jiang Liuyun shook his head, "Auntie, that little bit of time is not enough. You can't just focus on studying and not do anything else."

Jiang Shuyue nodded. There is more to life than just studying.

It was night, with a hint of coolness in the air.

As soon as he walked out the door, Xiao Lin heard noisy sounds coming from the Jiang family across the street, "So noisy?"

Jiang Shuyue nodded, "Yes, there's a fight almost every day. With three people, someone gets hurt every day."

"That's good, just watch it for fun, and it saves you from having to take action. Evildoers will be punished by their own evildoers." Xiao Lin said.

There was silence for a long time, and Jiang Shuyue hesitated about how to start. She told herself that she was not reluctant.

Just part ways amicably. Even if the deal doesn't work out, there's still friendship. Don't hurt feelings.

Xiao Lin looked at her beautiful face from the corner of his eye, "What do you want to tell me?"

"what?"

"You came out with me because you wanted to tell me something in private, but you didn't want Mom to hear you?"

Jiang Shuyue didn't expect that he had guessed everything, but it was understandable that Xiao Lin was very smart. They had been together for a while, and she had already seen through it.

"Oh, I wanted to say..."

"If you're still talking about divorce, then forget it."

Jiang Shuyue stood still. She just wanted to talk about this. Didn’t he want to say it?

"Really." Xiao Lin smiled bitterly, but he was not angry. "I think I'm not bad, right?"

"You're fine." Jiang Shuyue said.

"I think so too. I look okay, and my family is not well off, but you can make money on your own. You shouldn't mind me relying on you for a living, right?"

Jiang Shuyue: “…”

Mind? She didn't seem to mind.

After all, Xiao Lin is not idle, and if his identity is restored, he really won't be able to reach it.

"So you have someone outside?"

"How is that possible? Don't talk nonsense." Jiang Shuyue denied it subconsciously, and then felt that something was wrong. Why was he so anxious?

"Then why do you want to divorce me? Aren't we fine the way we are now?"

"I..." Jiang Shuyue was a little speechless. This is good, but can it always be like this?

"Don't you have anything you want to tell me when you go to the capital this time?"

"Yes." Xiao Lin said with a smile: "Who told you to talk to me about the divorce? I don't even have the mood to talk to you anymore."

Men, it turns out that you can't be treated with a good face.

I blame myself for this.

Xiao Lin listened to her breath and knew that she was about to get angry. "You don't want to talk about the divorce anymore?"

"If I don't tell you, then you don't want to tell me anymore?" Jiang Shuyue said.

Xiao Lin felt that her tone was somewhat resentful, which was not right. Wasn't she the one who was yelling for a divorce the whole time?

Why does it seem like I'm the one who changed my heart?

"Why should I say it?" Xiao Lin asked back. He always felt that Jiang Shuyue was hiding something in his heart. He had never delved into it before, so he might as well take advantage of a few days to resolve the misunderstanding between the two of them.

"I went to the capital to do some work. What do you think? Do you think I went to find a wife?" Xiao Lin said with a smile, "I already have a wife, married in a formal way. My parents are satisfied with her. She is filial, kind, gentle, and can make money. I must be crazy to find another woman."

Jiang Shuyue was stunned. What did he mean?

In the night, Xiao Lin's dark eyes sparkled, "Jiang Shuyue, I don't know why you always think I will have other women, but I just want to live with you."

"I……"

Things happened too suddenly. Jiang Shuyue had already made plans to divorce him. Faced with his sudden feelings, she was a little overwhelmed.

"I know you don't seem to trust me easily. I can wait."

"It's not that I don't believe you, but..." Jiang Shuyue took a deep breath.

"And what?" Xiao Lin asked tentatively.

His intuition told him that what she was going to say next was very important and would be the main reason why she backed off.

"But have you ever thought about your true origins?"

Xiao Lin frowned slightly. Did she know something?

Did Jiang Yinqiao tell her something?

"Why do you ask?" Xiao Lin asked.

Jiang Shuyue sighed. Now that she had said it, she might as well say it. "Jiang Yinqiao said that you were from the capital. Maybe it's true. If you have an extraordinary background, our marriage..."

"Even if you're right, what does that have to do with you and me being husband and wife? Do you think you're not worthy of me? What if my biological parent is a beggar?"

Jiang Shuyue thought to himself, if only his biological parents were beggars, there wouldn’t be so many problems.

"I just want a stable life." Jiang Shuyue said.

As smart as Xiao Lin is, after hearing her words, he not only did not feel disappointed, but also laughed.

"So, it's not that you don't have feelings for me, or that you look down on this person. You just want a quiet life, and you're afraid that my true background will make you unstable?"

Jiang Shuyue wanted to say no, but after being together for so long, she was not a plant, "Yeah!"

Xiao Lin happily took her hand, and she did not pull it back. "I can't guarantee that what you are worried about will not happen, but I know that you, Jiang Shuyue, are not a coward, let alone a timid person. Why do you back down without even trying?"

The reason why Jiang Shuyue retreated was not just because of his identity as a prince. After all, she had thought about it before. If he died, she would become a widow princess.

What really made her afraid to move forward was what happened between him and Shen Zhihuan in her previous life.
