After her mind was read, the spoiled brat became the darling of the whole group.

Without hesitation, Xie Xing replied, "100 quotes praising the Prince."

Jun Lanjin: "..."

I thought it would be something confidential, but it turned out to be nothing at all.

Fortunately, Xie Xing's move was well-intentioned, and Jun Lanjin reached out and picked up the note from her palm.

Upon opening it, I was surprised to find that it contained both pictures and illustrations.

It depicts Junlan Jin's glorious deeds from his childhood.

Almost everyone who is surrounded by admirers will experience a life filled with failures.

Jun Lanjin raised his eyes and looked at Xie Xing with some surprise.

Xie Xing rubbed his hands, which had just been burned by the flames, and looked up at Jun Lanjin: "Your Highness, are you happy now?"

Jun Lanjin's lips curled up slightly. He held the paper between his fingers and chuckled, "Not bad."

"What was that just now?"

Xie Xing put his hands behind his back and said, "I went to the countryside to find a master to learn from, just so that one day I could please the prince."

I did learn magic tricks from a folk master, and it took me several days to learn.

But this new trick was learned by Xie Xing from watching modern idol dramas.

Jun Lanjin smiled, his handsome and devilish face becoming even more radiant at that moment.

Just as he was about to speak, he suddenly caught a glimpse of a man standing not far away.

He looked up, his gaze shifting away from Xie Xing as he looked in that direction, where Luo Hanfeng and Wen Yan were standing.

Luo Hanfeng stood not far away, dressed in a light green brocade robe, his long hair tied in a ponytail, looking very noble, but at this moment, his face was as black as charcoal.

He gripped the railing tightly, his knuckles turning almost white, and the veins on his hands bulging.

Darkness churned within his light-colored eyes, like swirling clouds. He pursed his thin lips, meeting Jun Lanjin's nonchalant gaze, and forcefully suppressed the murderous aura emanating from him.

A smile played on his lips as he looked back at Jun Lanjin.

Why?

He has so much, so why does he have nothing, yet still receive others' flattery?

Just because of that face?

Beneath Luo Hanfeng's calm gaze lay a thick killing intent.

Xie Xing noticed Jun Lanjin's gaze and followed it in that direction.

But then Luo Hanfeng was seen standing not far away.

Upon seeing him, Xie Xing's happy smile vanished.

What is he doing here?

He's everywhere, and I don't want to see him right now!

The moment the thought crossed my mind, the system's voice rang out.

[Ding, male lead's hatred level +10.]

Ok?

The sudden surge in hatred startled Xie Xing. Where did this hatred come from?

Jun Lanjin paused for a moment, a faint smile on his face. He twitched his fingers slightly, gently tapping Xie Xing's head with the hand holding the jade fan, and said in a low voice, "I ran into an acquaintance."

"Go say hello?"

Before Xie Xing could speak, Wen Yan walked over.

He smiled, exuding an air of dashing charm, "Isn't this Prince Jin and Miss Xie Wu? What a coincidence."

After speaking, Wen Yan's gaze fell on Xie Xing and said, "Miss Xie really had a good hand just now. She really went to great lengths to make Prince Jin smile."

"I am curious. Would the Fifth Miss do me the honor of taking another look?"

Xie Xing didn't have much affection for Wen Yan either.

She discovered that Wen Yan cared deeply about Jun Lanjin and wanted to know everything about him.

This person even planted spies at the entrance of Prince Jin's residence, just to find out what Prince Jin did every day.

So perverted.

Wen Yan couldn't read minds and had no idea what Xie Xing was thinking at that moment, but Jun Lanjin and Luo Hanfeng, who could hear his thoughts, had indescribable expressions.

Especially Jun Lanjin.

His smile froze slightly, and his gaze toward Wen Yan held a hint of danger.

"As the Crown Prince also said, I prepared this little trick specifically to make Prince Jin smile."

"Why should I do something so thankless and exhausting if I don't want to please the prince?"

Luo Hanfeng walked over silently.

His gaze fell on Xie Xing, and a smile appeared on his lips: "Prince Jin, Miss Xie the Fifth."

As soon as Xie Xing saw him, he thought of the time when this man pulled him into the pond and forcibly kissed him at the rockery.

She snorted coldly, giving Luo Hanfeng a cold look: "What bad luck today, I can run into all sorts of people, what a nuisance."

She speaks bluntly and harshly now, completely different from how she spoke to Jun Lanjin just now.

Luo Hanfeng clenched his fists at his sides.

Jun Lanjin glanced at his tightly clenched hands, chuckled, and said calmly, "Xie Wu, you shouldn't speak so rudely."

Xie Xing's harsh expression softened slightly, and he turned to Jun Lanjin sweetly, saying, "Your Highness is right."

The other two: "..."

That brat's attitude changed so drastically.

Both Wen Yan and Luo Hanfeng were now extremely annoyed.

No matter how many times, Xie Xing's attitude towards Jun Lanjin was always so different that he wished Luo Hanfeng would concentrate all his hatred on Jun Lanjin.

He already has enough, so why should God be on his side?

The inner voice described him as a beautiful, strong, and tragic villain, a character that evoked immense sympathy.

Just because this person was dying, had a good appearance, and was ultimately the loser, everyone felt sorry for him.

Even that magical system was on his side.

To win over Jun Lanjin, you need to build up his favorability and prevent him from dying.

He was subjected to extreme humiliation because he would ultimately be the victor.

Why?

In terms of misery, he was born in the cold palace, suffered the cold looks of the palace servants and the humiliation of the princes. He had nothing and climbed up step by step. Who is more miserable than him?

In terms of appearance, Luo Hanfeng knew that he was not bad-looking, otherwise he would not have disguised himself in public and always appeared harmless.

In what way is he inferior to that short-lived wretch?

A loser, someone who has lived in everyone's expectations since birth, someone who has lacked nothing since birth.

He already has everything, why should he need any more favor?!

What's even more infuriating is...

Xie Xing treated him with all sorts of humiliation, disgust, and disdain.

She used all sorts of tricks to please Jun Lanjin, showing him a level of patience and gentleness she had never shown before.

What Luo Hanfeng wanted was something Jun Lanjin disdained.

Just ridiculous.

Like a madman, he couldn't help but yearn for this special person who could hear his thoughts to be extremely gentle and helpful to him.

But the other party completely disdained it, regarding it as worthless.

Luo Hanfeng lowered his eyes, concealing the gloom and madness within them.

unfair.

This is not fair at all.

[Ding, male lead's hatred value +20. Current hatred value: 50.]

Xie Xing was shocked.

How did the hatred value increase so much all of a sudden?

Wen Yan tightened her grip on the fan, and said with a forced smile, "Miss Xie really does listen to Prince Jin."

Xie Xing put aside the matter of hatred points for the time being, and instead smiled and said, "Of course, this young lady is not familiar with the young master."

The phrase "not familiar with" abruptly shut Wen Yan down.
