The number one spendthrift woman in the capital actually brings glory to her entire family?

Sikong Jin suddenly felt a headache, a terrible headache, she was in a real bind!

"Ninth Princess, this official... this... this official..."

She suddenly didn't know what to say. Why did she suddenly feel a sense of guilt? It seemed that Xing Fuhua was quite interested in Sikong Jin?

Sikong Jin, you bastard, you didn't even have the skills, yet you actually won the girl's heart!

After cursing under his breath, Sikong Jin managed a stiff smile.

"Ninth Princess? Brother Jin, you didn't call me that before. Seven years have passed, and you've even become so unfamiliar with how you address me?"

what?

Brother Huan Jin?

Sikong Jin cursed the original Sikong Jin in her heart again.

"No... I just feel..."

"What do you think? You think this is basic etiquette? You're still as unfunny as ever. After all these years, you still have such outdated ideas in your head."

Xing Fuhua pouted, her beautiful face showing the coquettishness of a young girl.

Sikong Jin felt a sharp pain in her head. She thought, "If I really married a wife like this, then..."

"I never imagined that you've had such a hard life all these years. When Commander-in-Chief Sikong left, I was still in Luocheng. I originally wanted to come back and see you, but as soon as I arrived at the Sikong residence, the Sikong family head told me that you had gone to Malan City for training..."

Xing Fuhua's tone was somewhat wistful, and her bright eyes were slightly downcast. "In the past few years, I have been accompanying my father in Hangu City or in the palace to accompany my mother, while you have been following the Grand Commander-in-Chief on his campaigns all year round. It is really not easy to see you."

"Thank you for your concern, Princess."

Sikong Jin was stunned for a while before whispering. At this moment, the fragmented memories in her mind slowly came together. She vaguely remembered that Sikong Jin and Xing Fuhua seemed to have played together happily for a period of time.

“You’re such a boring guy, you always say these polite things… Why don’t you tell me about all these years…”

"Oh, the moonlight is so beautiful tonight. Look, the stars in the sky are so bright. The farthest and brightest one is called Polaris..."

Sikong Jin suddenly looked up at the tranquil night sky, pointed to a bright star on the horizon, and exclaimed in surprise.

Xing Fuhua also raised her little head and looked in the direction Sikong Jin was pointing. She immediately frowned and asked in surprise, "Isn't that the Ziwei Star?"

……

After the banquet, Sikong Jin took his leave, and Ninth Princess Xing Fuhua saw him off at the door.

She walked in front, and Sikong Jin walked behind, the faint shadows cast by the streetlights falling at Sikong Jin's feet.

The two continued walking until they reached the plane trees in the distance of the Prince Duan's residence. Xing Fuhua, who had been walking silently with her head down, suddenly stopped. She turned around, raised her head, and silently looked at Sikong Jin. Sikong Jin also stopped walking at the same time.

"Brother Jin, no matter what happens in the future, Hua'er will always be by your side, and I will always protect you."

Her clear eyes were filled with unwavering determination, and her clear gaze almost made Sikong Jin want to run away, secretly lamenting her predicament.

He could only chuckle awkwardly twice, then lowered his voice and said, "Shouldn't I, as a man, be saying that?"

In an instant, Sikong Jin almost made up his mind that if he were really a man, he would marry Xing Fuhua without hesitation.

Xing Fuhua raised her eyebrows and smiled faintly, "Brother Jin, do you know that when you said that, I found you very charming?"

Sikong Jin raised her eyebrows. "You are the most charming girl in my heart."

'Unfortunately, I can only like men…'

Sikong Jin added another sentence in her mind.

"It's really not easy to get a compliment from you, I'm very happy."

A warm, gentle light flowed in Xing Fuhua's eyes. As Sikong Jin stared blankly, Xing Fuhua slowly took her hand. The soft touch made Sikong Jin almost want to pull her hand back immediately. However, Xing Fuhua handed her a purple card instead.

"I know you're short of money. Here's two hundred thousand taels. Take it and use it. Don't keep squeezing your subordinates out of their meager salaries. Everyone's having a hard time."

Lady Sikong's ears turned bright red. She, who was usually fearless, wanted to hide in the ground for a moment.

"No...no need...I can handle it."

Seeing Sikong Jin's embarrassed expression, Xing Fuhua couldn't help but cover her mouth and laugh. Ignoring him, she suddenly turned and left.

Sikong Jin stared blankly at the voucher in her hand—it was a voucher from Hongding Department Store.

After a long while, she came to her senses and was about to put the card back into her sleeve when a faint, cool fragrance suddenly wafted into her nostrils. She subconsciously looked up and saw a tall, aloof figure standing indifferently under a plane tree less than three zhang away. The golden auspicious cloud pattern on the hem of his robe tumbled wildly in the desolate night wind, drawing one messy arc after another.

The man's face was somewhat blurred in the dim light, but Sikong Jin recognized him in an instant!

"The Crown Prince of the Northern Empire!"

Sikong Jin exclaimed in surprise, her eyes filled with astonishment. Then, her suppressed anger began to flare up—this guy had swindled her out of an extremely expensive dinner!

"You wouldn't happen to be here to pay back my meal bill, Your Highness?"

Sikong Jin walked over, glanced at him, and spoke slowly.

Di Beizun ignored her completely, his handsome face expressionless. He glanced at Xing Fuhua as she walked away before fixing his gaze on Sikong Jin. His expression was so unbelievable that it made Sikong Jin's heart skip a beat.

This man is too unfathomable; I can't see through even a fraction of his thoughts.

"Why are you here?"

Sikong Jin asked again, "Could it be that you've come to see her?"

Thinking of this, Sikong Jin raised her eyebrows with a meaningful look, but before she could feel happy, Di Beizun's deep voice crushed her completely.

I can run into you anywhere.

His tone was so disdainful, and his brows furrowed slightly.

Sikong Jin was taken aback, then shrugged. "I run into you everywhere I go, don't I? What are you doing here so late at night instead of sleeping? Are you spying on my fiancée? Luckily, we didn't kiss, or you would have gotten away with it..."

"Based on those few words, I could take your head, you idiot!"

Di Beizun finished speaking, didn't even glance at her, and turned to leave.

Sikong Jin watched his retreating figure, a glint of cunning flashing in her eyes. A wicked smile curved her lips as she chased after him. "Hey, Your Highness, the moonlight is lovely tonight. Let's go for drinks and find some courtesans. My treat!"
