Having transmigrated into a book, who would still want to be a secondary wife?

Xu Yuanqing's eyes lit up as he realized what was going on. "You mean Huan'er said that to test me?"

“That’s right.” Wang Xue nodded. “That’s how we girls are. We want to test whether you’re sincere or not. If she really doesn’t like you at all, why would she attend your birthday party?”

Hearing this, hope rekindled in Xu Yuanqing's eyes. "Wang Xue, thank you so much. If it weren't for your reminder, I'm afraid I really wouldn't know what to do."

Wang Xue's gaze suddenly fell on the carriage not far away. She recognized it as the carriage of the Prince Yun's mansion!

Why would a carriage from the Prince Yun's residence be parked in front of the Gu residence? Could it be that the Prince Yun has come to see Huan'er?

The moment this thought crossed Wang Xue's mind, her heart sank. Could Huan'er really have such good luck?

The King of Yun clearly avoids her like the plague, so why would he come looking for her on purpose? Could it be that something has happened these past few days that she doesn't know about?

Gu Huan'er slowed down when she was almost at the gate, and walked out slowly like a lady from a noble family, her gaze fixed on the carriage not far away, her eyes full of excitement.

However, she had only taken two steps when she bumped into Wang Xue and Xu Yuanqing.

"Huan'er, where are you going?" Wang Xue asked curiously.

Xu Yuanqing's eyes brightened. "Didn't you say you wanted to go listen to storytelling? I specially bought a few tickets. Shall we go together today?"

Gu Huan'er was slightly taken aback, not expecting to run into the two of them after coming out. She waved her hand and said, "No need, you can go ahead. I have something to do today."

"What do you want?" Xu Yuanqing couldn't help but ask.

Gu Huan'er didn't know why the Prince of Yun had suddenly come to see her, but she was extremely happy as long as the prince was willing to see her.

"You don't need to worry about that. Anyway, I have something to do today and can't watch the show with you. You should go now!"

On the other side, Chu Yungui saw Gu Huan'er come out and was suddenly blocked by two people. He immediately recognized one of the men as the one he had seen a few days ago, named Yuan Qing.

"Your Highness, that young master must like Miss Gu, right?"

The servant couldn't help but sigh, "Actually, I think Miss Gu is quite nice. She's always happy whenever I see her, unlike some girls who are either aloof or have a cold face. Isn't it so nice to see her like this?"

Chu Yungui glanced at him coldly, "What? You want to get married too?"

"No, I didn't!" The servant shook his head vigorously. "I was just saying it offhand."

Seeing that Gu Huan'er was anxious to go to the carriage, Wang Xue pulled her and said, "Huan'er, don't be stubborn. His Highness Prince Yun doesn't like you at all, so why do you reject Yuan Qing?"

You and Yuan Qing were childhood sweethearts, and didn't you say before that he was a very good person?

Xu Yuanqing was overjoyed to learn that Gu Huan'er had praised him so highly.

"Huan'er, I truly love you. If you're willing to be with me, I'll have my mother propose marriage as soon as I get back. I promise to treat you well for the rest of my life!"

"What nonsense are you talking about?"

Gu Huan'er was stunned by this sudden scene. Why were these two guys saying such crazy things out of the blue?

"What marriage proposal? Xu Yuanqing, let me tell you, if you dare to go back and talk nonsense, you're finished!"

Gu Huan'er glared fiercely at Xu Yuanqing. Recently, her mother had also realized that the Prince of Yun had no interest in her, and that even if the Empress liked her, it would be useless. So she was thinking of finding someone else for her.

Her mother once asked her what she thought of Xu Yuanqing.

She and Xu Yuanqing grew up together and knew each other so well that she had never entertained such a thought before. The mere thought of this possibility terrified her.

Even if the Prince of Yun still didn't like her in the end, she couldn't marry Xu Yuanqing.

Didn't I make that very clear to you last time?

If it were before, Xu Yuanqing would have been very sad to hear such words, but now, after Wang Xue's reminder, he doesn't feel upset anymore.

This is a test for him!

"Huan'er, no matter what you say, my feelings for you will never change. Don't worry, I won't force you. I can wait, and I will definitely wait for the day you change your mind!"

Gu Huan'er: "???"

What's wrong with Xu Yuanqing today?

Chu Yungui overheard the conversation nearby, lifted the curtain of the carriage, and stepped down.

"Miss Gu, we should go now."

The sudden sound startled Xu Yuanqing, who subconsciously turned his gaze and discovered that the Cloud King was actually behind him.

He had noticed the carriage before, but he never imagined it would be the carriage of the Prince of Yun.

He sized up Prince Yun and Gu Huan'er, wondering if the two of them...

"Okay!" Gu Huan'er replied obediently and quickly walked to Chu Yungui's side.

Seeing the girl walk towards him without hesitation, Chu Yun lowered his eyes, a faint smile curving his lips, as if he were in a pleasant mood.

"Huan'er, where are you going with Prince Yun?" Wang Xue asked hurriedly.

Gu Huan'er subconsciously looked at Chu Yungui, not knowing why the Prince of Yun had come to see her today.

"Nothing to do with you."

Chu Yungui casually uttered four words, then turned to look at Gu Huan'er. The woman was pretty, with a faint blush on her cheeks, and her bright eyes were full of expectation as she looked at him, like a well-behaved and adorable cat.

His heart felt as if it had been unintentionally scratched.

"Get in the car."

Gu Huan'er nodded and boarded the carriage first.

Xu Yuanqing and Wang Xue stood there, watching as the King of Yun took the people away. They wanted to ask them what they were going to do, but the King of Yun's imposing manner made them not dare to ask a single question.

As the carriage slowly drove away, Xu Yuanqing felt as if he had been doused with a bucket of cold water.

"Does His Highness Prince Yun's personal visit to pick up Huan'er mean that he also has feelings for her?"

A look of disbelief flashed in Wang Xue's eyes. "Don't worry, there might be a misunderstanding. Huan'er and I are such good friends, and I've never heard her say that the Prince of Yun's attitude has changed."

"Don't worry, how about... we go and take a look?"

“I’m afraid that’s not a good idea,” Xu Yuanqing said hesitantly. “If the Prince of Yun finds out, we’ll both be in deep trouble.”

"What's there to be afraid of? Couldn't we just happen to bump into each other?"

Wang Xue couldn't help but feel disgusted. No wonder Gu Huan'er looked down on Xu Yuanqing; with his cowardly nature, she couldn't stand him either!

"You know Huan'er's straightforward nature, yet you act so timidly. If you want to win Huan'er's heart, you can't do it this way. Otherwise, no one would want to be with you!"

These words ignited a fire within Xu Yuanqing, and a hint of unwillingness flashed in his eyes. "You're right, then let's go take a look!"

Wang Xue was finally satisfied, but said aloud, "I don't think His Highness Prince Yun would like Huan'er. I was just worried about her getting hurt."
