According to past practice, Min Youan would never trust a person without a long period of testing and experience, even if that person was her mother. But this time, for some reason, a voice in her heart told her that this woman was trustworthy.

After much deliberation, he decided to take a gamble!

Xia Tongsheng looked at Min Youan standing motionless by the window, wondering what he was thinking. "Damn it, I've already made my stance clear, so why don't you give me some reaction? You're neither agreeing nor disagreeing. Don't you know it's cold for me to be shirtless like this?"

Even though it's June, can't she be cold-hearted?

Min Youan pondered for a while. Xia Tongsheng was a disciple of Master Guigu, so she must have some real skills. Bringing her to his side might have some benefits!

"Very well! I agree!"

At worst, we can just send more people to monitor her, and kill her the moment she becomes suspicious!

Xia Tongsheng breathed a sigh of relief, finally having weathered the crisis.

Min Youan went out, but stopped just before leaving. "Your chest is too small!"

It took Xia Tongsheng several seconds to realize that he had just been criticizing her for having small breasts. She immediately threw a pillow at him, but he was already far away, and she only hit thin air!

"Would I die if I didn't say that?! It's so hurtful!" Xia Tongsheng, the murderer, clutched her chest, pushed it in slightly, and comforted herself, saying, "If I squeeze it, I still have breasts!"

The next day, Xia Tongsheng deliberately chose a strapless light blue dress and added some scraps of fabric underneath to make her breasts appear larger. She looked at herself in the mirror; her breasts were bigger, and she had cleavage. Only then did she nod in satisfaction.

Yingling looked at her and asked in surprise, "Miss, what's wrong with you today?"

Do I look any different today than usual?

"Yes, didn't you used to say you were embarrassed to wear strapless tops? Why are you dressed like this today..."

"I'm asking you, have my breasts gotten bigger?"

Yingling nodded shyly, "It's especially big today!"

Xia Tongsheng smiled smugly, "That's good!"

"Miss, are you going to seduce the prince?"

Although Xia Tongsheng doesn't like Min Youan, women are all vain. Last night he said he had small breasts, so she had to win back his pride.

However, when confronted with Yingling's questioning, she stubbornly denied it, "Is that so? Is your young lady that kind of person?"

"Yes, didn't you ask me to seduce the butler last time?"

"Little girl, are you having trouble getting over this? Didn't I tell you not to seduce the butler last time?"

"Anyway, Miss has already caused indelible damage to my young heart!"

Xia Tongsheng gave her a hard knock on the forehead. "Stop pretending! I'll make it up to you later!"

Yingling then smiled with satisfaction.

Upon arriving at Min Youan's courtyard and finding the study, Xia Tongsheng saw Cang Jue standing guard outside the door. She smiled at him and was about to push the door open to go in.

Unexpectedly, he stopped her, saying, "Your Highness, the Prince has ordered that no one may enter the study without his permission!"

"Damn, so many problems!" Xia Tongsheng couldn't help but mutter under her breath. Of course, she only dared to say this when Min You'an wasn't around. If Min You'an were there, she would have chickened out long ago.

She called out through the door, "Your Highness, I've come to pay my respects. Also, I'd like to talk to you about what happened last night!"

"Come in!" His voice remained cold, devoid of any discernible emotion.

Cang Jue, who was guarding outside the door, looked puzzled. The prince had never allowed the women in the mansion to enter the study. Why would he make an exception and let the princess in today?

However, he would never dare to disobey the prince's decision. He immediately opened the door to let Xia Tongsheng in, but blocked Yingling behind Xia Tongsheng.

Yingling looked at him defiantly, "What are you doing!"

"His Highness only allowed the Princess to enter!" This means you are not qualified!

Just as Yingling was about to argue, Xia Tongsheng shook his head at her and comforted her with a few words. Seeing that she had calmed down, he then stepped inside.

The layout of the entire study can be described in one word: "large"!

It's spacious, with large bookshelves and large calligraphy brushes. In short, apart from the people inside, every detail is exceptionally good.

This interior design style, in modern terms, definitely means that a designer was hired; otherwise, how could someone with his taste design such a high-end, sophisticated, and classy layout!

Min Youan was reading memorials when she heard her come in. He asked teasingly, "What was the topic of conversation last night? Were you talking about small breasts or your father?"

Xia Tongsheng was furious at his sarcasm, so she immediately moved closer to him, cupped her chest, and questioned him, "Look at me, where's it small!"

Min Youan couldn't help but laugh out loud. This was the first time Xia Tongsheng had ever seen him laugh, and one word could describe her feelings at that moment—horrified!

Okay, she was so scared she couldn't count anymore; "horrifying" is clearly two words.

Xia Tongsheng finally understood why Min Youan didn't like to smile. Damn it, who can stand a cold, expressionless person who actually has two little dimples when he smiles?

The impact of that smile was like a shockwave!

Xia Tongsheng looked at her and silently prayed in her heart, "Your Highness, please don't laugh, I'm afraid I'll have nightmares tonight!"

Min Youan realized she had laughed and immediately tried to stop herself, but it was too late; she had already seen everything!

"Don't tell anyone!"

"Don't tell anyone what happened. Was it the prince's smile or his dimples?" she asked with a mischievous grin, seizing the opportunity to immediately retort—that's always been her style!

Min Youan's expression turned cold. "Sometimes, reacting too quickly can also be fatal!"

Xia Tongsheng bit her lip and immediately put on an innocent look, "Ah! Well, everything went black just now, I didn't see anything!"

Min Youan was satisfied with her reaction. "Let's get down to business!"

"Your Highness has come to confirm your promise from last night. Is Your Highness certain that you will use my own possessions in exchange for the Xia family's network of connections?"

"Sure!"

"I have said everything I needed to say! Your Highness, please feel free to make any requests you may have!"

"Gone!"

Xia Tongsheng didn't expect his request to be so simple. Apart from asking him to help her persuade her father, he had practically no other requests!

She couldn't help but wonder if her business had been too easy. She felt like she had made a fortune!

Actually, it wasn't a zero-demand situation. She cried later on. How could Min Youan possibly do a losing deal?

If so, there are only two possibilities: either you are wrong, or you are terribly wrong!

After Xia Tongsheng left, Min Youan's expression turned fierce, and the murderous intent and coldness in his eyes became even more obvious.

"Cang Jue!"

"Your Highness!" Cang Jue answered as he entered the room.

"Send men to keep a close watch on the Princess. If she shows any sign of abnormality, kill her without mercy!"

Cang Jue hesitated. What was going on? Hadn't he just been giving the princess special treatment? Why was he suddenly so intent on killing her?

Is this love or harm?
