Quick Transmigration Sweet Story, The White Moonlight Rescue Plan

Xiao Xiao responded softly, her face flushing even more, whether from illness or shyness, it was hard to tell.

Shen She slowly put down the dossier in his hand, pretending not to know the reason, and deliberately asked, "Your Highness, as a princess of noble birth, why don't you cherish your health? Why do you insist on braving the cold at night to enjoy the rain?"

Xiao Xiao took a deep breath, trying to calm herself down. Then, she relaxed her body, leaning lazily against the soft backrest, and said in a slightly bored and spoiled tone, "Shen She, if I hadn't really made myself sick, would you have come to visit me?"

Shen She laughed easily and replied, "Indeed not... Since the princess has already met me, I still have some matters to attend to, so I will not disturb the princess's rest any longer!" After saying that, Shen She stood up and walked out.

Having tried to keep him, Xiao Xiao couldn't. Feeling lost and panicked, she hurriedly shouted at Shen She's departing figure, "Shen, She, you stop right there!"

Shen She stopped, but still had his back to Xiao Xiao, so her expression was not visible. All she could see was his tall and broad back, which completely blocked the view outside the door.

"Is there anything else, Princess?"

The voice was neither surprised nor happy, as calm as still water, as if there were no emotional fluctuations, yet it was difficult to fathom its true intentions.

Xiao Xiao pondered silently, unable to think of any suitable reason to keep Shen She. After a moment's hesitation, she finally mustered her courage and said in a straightforward and firm tone, "Shen She, I order you to stay and have dinner with me before you can leave."

Shen She narrowed his eyes slightly, seemingly surprised by the request. His gaze fell on Xiao Xiao, filled with a hint of doubt and inquiry. "Just a meal? No other arrangements?"

Xiao Xiao didn't understand why Shen She would ask that, but in order to keep him there, she nodded without hesitation and replied, "Yes, it's just having a meal together."

Shen She couldn't help but sigh. This little girl was ultimately too well protected. Her personality was so willful and naive. She could have made more requests, but she caused such a scene just to invite him to a meal.

Shen She turned around and carefully examined the delicate young woman before him again, then slowly asked, "Why does Your Highness insist that I dine with you?"

The man's gaze was cold and deep, fixed on her as if he were scrutinizing his prey.

Xiao Xiao felt a little uneasy under his gaze, but when she remembered her purpose, she couldn't help but cheer up and mustered her courage to say, "I've already said it, I've fallen for you! That's why I wanted to invite my sweetheart to dinner. What's wrong with that?"

Anyway, I was just a worthless person in the past, and I don't know how many cold looks and indifference I endured! All I got was being ridiculed for shamelessly throwing myself at men. People can say whatever they want, so how can I control them?

She had come here only to repay a debt of gratitude, and how to accomplish this was a matter for her to consider.

There's no need to bother your brother with such trivial matters.

She can handle it all by herself, and she's willing to go to any lengths to achieve her goal.

"Oh?" Shen She raised an eyebrow, a slight smile playing on his lips. He slowly walked to the bedside, gently placing the books on the desk before gracefully turning to face Xiao Xiao. His voice was low and cold: "Does the princess not approve of my relationship with the Empress Dowager?"

"It would be a lie to say I don't recommend it, but since I admire you, I certainly don't want to criticize your past." Xiao Xiao's feelings for Shen She weren't genuine, so this blushing confession came naturally and casually.

Xiao Xiao spoke casually and lightly. In her opinion, as long as she had her eye on someone, she wouldn't care whether that person was good or bad, what their past was like, or whether their character was upright.

Such frankness and honesty left Shen She momentarily speechless, unsure whether to be surprised or angry. He felt that if this young girl wanted to deceive him, she shouldn't have been so perfunctory.

There was no real need for Chu Yunhe to get close to him. In any case, he would fake his death and escape soon enough to restore order to China. He had no interest in power, but Chu Yunhe was still worried.

It seems that Chu Yunhe's probing of him will continue until all obstacles within China are eliminated. For now, let them test him.

Thinking of this, Shen She sighed helplessly and declined with a smile, "Since Your Highness is so sincere to me, I shouldn't try to win Your Highness's favor. However, I have a rather bland palate, I don't like sweets, and I don't like drinking alcohol." Shen She glanced helplessly at the wine and meat on the table and politely refused.

Xiao Xiao was overjoyed to see Shen She agree, and immediately ordered people to remove all the dishes from the table and replace them with a batch of light dishes that suited Shen She's taste.

Looking at the newly served dishes, Shen She only touched his chopsticks a few times before putting them down. Although these dishes were more palatable than the previous sweet and greasy foods, they still didn't arouse much interest in him. However, Xiao Xiao's enthusiasm left him somewhat at a loss.

Seeing this, Xiao Xiao felt a sense of satisfaction, thinking to herself, "Shen She doesn't seem so difficult to get along with after all."

So, Xiaoxiao smiled and said to Shen She, "My lord, do you think these dishes suit your taste? If there is anything that needs to be improved, please let me know."

The little girl's beautiful eyes sparkled, like a little raccoon seeking praise.

Shen She glanced at Xiao Xiao, a barely perceptible smile flashing in his eyes, and nodded with slight satisfaction, saying, "Your Highness is very thoughtful. The dishes are all very good, there's no need to improve them."

Xiao Xiao was delighted to hear this, and asked with a mix of self-admiration and demureness, "Then how about I give it to you, sir, each time?"

Upon hearing this, Shen She paused in his tea-drinking hand, then put down his teacup and replied frankly and earnestly, "Your Highness may send it at any time."
