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

On the carriage.

Gu Huan'er breathed a sigh of relief when she finally shook off Xu Yuanqing and his companion, but couldn't help but steal glances at Chu Yungui, her heart filled with unease.

She wanted to explain the misunderstanding earlier, that there was nothing between her and Xu Yuanqing, and hoped that Prince Yun would not misunderstand. But what if Prince Yun thought she was being unreasonable or making a fuss over nothing when she explained? Wouldn't that be very awkward?

Chu Yungui thought that Gu Huan'er would be anxious to explain after she came up, since that was her usual personality.

Every time they met, she seemed to have a lot to say, and she would talk to herself regardless of whether he listened or not.

They were riding in the same carriage today, so why did the girl suddenly fall silent?

He looked at the woman's slightly flushed face, and the image that came to his mind was Xu Yuanqing, who had previously professed his love for her. So... she blushed because of what Xu Yuanqing said?

Thinking of this, Chu Yungui felt a strange sense of irritation; she didn't seem to like quiet either.

"You like that young master Xu?" Chu Yungui asked casually.

Gu Huan'er was already hesitant about what to do, but when she heard Chu Yungui's words, she quickly waved her hand and explained, "No, we just grew up together since we were little, and I have no feelings for him at all."

The irritation in Chu Yungui's heart subsided a little. "Last time at the restaurant, you were also celebrating his birthday."

"That day was not my intention. Wang Xue said she had something to tell me and asked me to go out for a walk. I didn't expect her to take me directly to Yuan Qing's birthday banquet."

After all, it's his birthday, and I'm already there, so it's not right to refuse anymore..."

At this point, Gu Huan'er couldn't help but complain, "Originally, when I saw Wang... my cousin that day, I thought I could use her as an excuse to leave, but in the end, it didn't work out."

Upon hearing this, Chu Yungui recalled the events of that day and realized that this was the truth. Did that mean he had pushed her over there?

He chuckled softly, "Are you complaining about me?"

"No." Gu Huan'er quickly shook her head, but after meeting the man's seemingly insightful gaze, she held up two fingers and pinched a very small distance between them, "Just a little bit."

Chu Yungui withdrew his gaze, recalling the woman he had just seen. "Was that young lady named Wang Xue?"

Gu Huan'er looked at Chu Yungui with surprise, her eyes suddenly becoming strange, filled with a hint of nervousness and probing, "Your Highness, you wouldn't happen to like Wang Xue, would you?"

Chu Yungui: "???"

"After all this time, I've come to accept the reality that you don't like me, but if you like Wang Xue, you won't have time to come find me."

I'm very stingy, I won't help you pursue her, and I won't tell you her preferences either. If you want to ask, go ask someone else!

Gu Huan'er's initial joy was extinguished almost instantly. It was winter, and this feeling, as if a bucket of cold water had been poured over her head, was extremely uncomfortable.

She said!

Why would the prince come looking for her out of the blue?

It's such a waste that she dressed up so specially; the more she thinks about it, the angrier she gets!

Chu Yungui listened to Gu Huan'er's inexplicable words and couldn't understand how she suddenly came to this conclusion. He then saw that the girl's face suddenly puffed up with anger, and her gaze towards him changed from joy to annoyance.

"My judgment isn't that bad, okay?"

Chu Yungui immediately spoke up, saying that this was simply a slander against him!

If such words were to get out, Chu Yungui would lose all face!

"Huh?" Gu Huan'er's anger subsided instantly upon hearing this. "Really? Then why did you ask Wang Xue?"

"I want to remind you that Wang Xue may not be a friend worth making. Knowing that you don't want to see Xu Yuanqing, she still brings him here again and again."

Either she's stupid and unreasonable, thinking she's being nice to you but that you don't appreciate it.

Either you had ulterior motives from the beginning, or whatever the case, it won't do you any good.

Chu Yungui's tone revealed a hint of helplessness. What misunderstanding did this girl have about his judgment?

When he first met Wang Xue at the restaurant, he noticed that the girl was pretentious and a bit strange. Today, after seeing her again, this feeling was even more pronounced.

Having been in the palace with so many people, who hasn't he seen? It's not hard to guess what this girl is thinking.

"So this is ah……"

Gu Huan'er came to her senses. In fact, she had been unhappy ever since Wang Xue tricked her into going there last time, and had even reminded Wang Xue never to do such a thing again.

Although they were friends, she didn't like others making decisions for her, but today Wang Xue brought Yuan Qing along.

She had clearly explained things to Yuan Qing last time, and hadn't seen him for the past few days, but Yuan Qing's attitude suddenly changed today, and she felt that it was related to Wang Xue.

Seeing that Gu Huan'er had suddenly fallen silent, Chu Yungui asked in a lazy tone, "Don't you believe what I'm saying?"

“I believe you!” Gu Huan’er nodded without hesitation. “There’s no reason for Your Highness to lie to me about something like this.”

Now it was Chu Yun Gui who was stunned. Did he really believe that?

"I will handle this matter properly, Your Highness, please rest assured," Gu Huan'er said with a smile.

Seeing the woman's pretty and bright face, which had returned to its usual joyful expression, Chu Yungui found it amusing. Her mood changed so quickly; she didn't hide it at all, it was all written on her face.

No, they didn't hide anything from each other.

He actually thought it was a good thing; no hiding anything, no keeping everything to himself, just saying what he wanted to say directly.

"Your Highness, what brings you here today?" Gu Huan'er asked curiously.

"You know about my brother and sister-in-law's relationship. Now that Father and Mother have agreed to the marriage, my brother wants to prepare a surprise for my sister-in-law."

"The Lantern Festival is in a few days, so I came to ask if you know my sister-in-law's preferences. I hope that I can make her happy and get her to agree to marry my brother," Chu Yungui said frankly.

Upon hearing this, Gu Huan'er's mouth involuntarily opened, and she quickly covered it with her hands, her every feature expressing her astonishment.

"My goodness, His Highness the Prince of Chu is so devoted to my cousin! I'm so envious!"

Gu Huan'er was overjoyed. "At first, I thought His Highness the Prince of Chu was a cold-blooded and ruthless person, but after he got together with my cousin, he was like a completely different person."

I can't believe it, my cousin is so lucky!

As she spoke, she couldn't help but add, "My cousin is so kind, it's only right that the prince treats her this way. She deserves it!"

I'm trying to think about what my cousin would like, but I'm not really sure..."

"You don't know either? Girls should all like pretty much the same things, right?" Chu Yungui asked.

"It should be, but I always felt that my cousin was different from others. She was different from other girls, but she had His Highness the Prince of Chu in her heart. I think that no matter what His Highness prepared, she would like it."
