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

"Your Highness, are you really not annoyed by me?" Gu Huan'er blinked, staring intently at the man in front of her, and asked softly.

The voice was soft and gentle, its sweet tone like a kitten's paw scratching at Chu Yungui's heart, instantly softening it.

"real."

Chu Yungui nodded, his tone tinged with helplessness, but he was in a good mood. He had been somewhat hesitant at first, but now it seemed that things were fine as they were.

Gu Huan'er was overjoyed. The fact that the prince didn't find her annoying was the best news for her.

Almost every time she saw Prince Yun before, he would avoid her like the plague. Later, she didn't dare to approach Prince Yun, worried that if she went, he would leave again, so she always stayed not far away and secretly watched.

Fortunately... he didn't hate himself.

When Chu Yungui saw that the girl had stopped crying, he realized that his actions had been too rash. He quickly let go of her, a hint of unease flashing across his handsome face.

"I apologize, I was too presumptuous."

Gu Huan'er left the man's embrace, secretly lamenting that this was probably the only opportunity she would ever have in her life.

I wonder if crying will work next time?

But she's not a crybaby, and besides, she can't find a reason to cry. It's such a pity!

"Don't worry, I will take responsibility for you." Chu Yungui said seriously, his expression seemingly calm, but his ears were already bright red.

Gu Huan'er was slightly taken aback, "Take responsibility?"

Chu Yungui nodded, clearly having made up his mind, "I will definitely give you an explanation."

Even after Chu Yungui helped her down from the carriage, Gu Huan'er still felt dizzy and hadn't recovered from what had happened.

The prince suddenly hugged her and comforted her so gently. Most importantly, he said he would take responsibility for her and give her an explanation.

Is it the kind of responsibility she's thinking of?

The moment the thought crossed her mind, she felt it was absolutely insane. How could such a wonderful thing fall from the sky and land on her head?

Wang Xue and Xu Yuanqing, who were following closely behind, were both surprised to see Chu Yungui leave.

"So His Highness Prince Yun was just sending Huan'er to the Song residence. We can rest assured now."

Xu Yuanqing breathed a sigh of relief and a smile appeared on his face. He had been wondering why His Highness Prince Yun would suddenly like Huan'er. It turned out to be a false alarm!

However, Wang Xue felt that things were not so simple.

Previously, Prince Yun had always avoided Gu Huan'er, and she had noticed it every time. But today, the prince actually took the initiative to send Huan'er away, which was very strange!

She had just witnessed Prince Yun helping Gu Huan'er out of the carriage; this would have been absolutely impossible in the past!

She was the one who liked Prince Yun first, but she kept it to herself. However, because her family background was not as good as the Gu family's, and her personality was not as unrestrained as Gu Huan'er's, she dared to say anything directly.

She had originally thought that since Gu Huan'er had lost face, she could take the opportunity to appear more often in front of Prince Yun, and perhaps the prince would fall in love with her.

But she hasn't had many chances to speak with His Highness yet, and Gu Huan'er has already made such progress, how can this be allowed!

"Could it be... that Prince Yun really likes this kind of thing?"

"Wang Xue, what did you say?" Xu Yuanqing didn't hear what she said and asked subconsciously.

Wang Xue glanced at the slow-witted Xu Yuanqing and shook her head, saying, "If you don't step up your efforts, Huan'er might end up in the Yun Prince's mansion!"

"What?!" Xu Yuanqing's expression changed drastically. "How is this possible?"

"Why is it impossible? Before, His Highness Prince Yun was unwilling to see Huan'er at all, but look at him now, he's taking the initiative to see Huan'er off. Who knows, he might suddenly fall in love with her in the future."

As she spoke, Wang Xue pretended to be kind and reminded her, "As Huan'er's good friend, I know you are genuinely good to her, which is why I want to help you."

If you don't know how to help yourself, then you really can't do anything. After all, it seems like things would be quite good if Huan'er married into the Yun Prince's mansion.

Xu Yuanqing frowned and subconsciously clenched his fists. He had liked Huan'er for so long and hoped to marry her. He couldn't just watch her marry someone else.

Since there's still time, he might as well go back and tell his mother about it. After all, his mother has always liked Huan'er, so they can propose marriage as soon as possible.

"I'll have my mother propose marriage as soon as I get back!" Xu Yuanqing said solemnly.

Wang Xue's eyes lit up; this guy has finally come up with some tricks up his sleeve!

She watched the direction Chu Yungui's carriage left in, bid farewell to Xu Yuanqing, and then quietly followed.

She could no longer sit idly by and wait for her fate, otherwise she would have no chance at all. At this moment, she couldn't help but regret that if she had acted sooner, Gu Huan'er would not have had any chance.

Today, as usual, Song Jingshen inspected the shops and then watched the opening of the Song Family Barbecue branch.

The shop hadn't even opened yet, but there were already quite a few customers waiting outside. As soon as the doors opened, they started buying things without saying a word.

"Young master, our newly opened shop is doing incredibly well, there's absolutely nothing to worry about."

The shopkeeper's face was full of smiles. "Since you released the news yesterday, many people have come specifically to see it, just waiting for today's opening."

"Not bad." Song Jingshen showed a satisfied look. "The food that Fifth Sister makes tastes absolutely amazing. I've never heard her mention it before. These shops she's opened are really making a fortune."

Nowadays, the most popular snack business in the capital is the Song family's shop. He heard from his fifth sister that there are actually many more snacks to be made. Just thinking about that prospect makes him feel that it is amazing.

"The Fifth Sister's cooking is so delicious that not only ordinary people, but even we can't stop praising it."

The shopkeeper smiled broadly, genuinely pleased to see the Song family's business thriving.

"You all need to be more careful. Business is booming, and I'm sure there are plenty of eyes watching us. Be extra vigilant."

"Don't worry, young master, we will handle this properly. If we find anything amiss, we will inform you immediately."

Knowing the manager's abilities, Song Jingshen was reassured and asked, "How did Shen's Barbecue Shop fare yesterday?"

"Yesterday, after causing dissatisfaction among the guests, there was a commotion. Many people asked for a refund without even tasting the food. Miss Song disagreed. In the end, the first table of guests let everyone try his food and let everyone judge the situation."

It is said that in the end, Young Master Shen felt he was in the wrong, so he asked everyone to leave.

"So, Shen Huai'an does have some sense after all?"

"I heard that Young Master Shen and Miss Song had a big fight yesterday, which was quite ugly. It seems that the matter was entrusted to Miss Song, but Miss Song did not learn the essence of our barbecue at all, and directly guaranteed that it would be exactly the same as ours, which led to this joke yesterday."

The shopkeeper shook his head. These things look simple, but how easy are they to imitate?
