Lu Ruojiang finds it hard to speak out, Qian Ningning is so repulsive, how can he be honest about his identity? But he also doesn't want Qian Ningning to misunderstand him like this.
Sensing his silence, Qian Ningning asked suspiciously, "Why are you acting so strange today? Did you remember something?"
Before Lu Ruojiang could speak, Qian Ningning thought of their conversation just now and exclaimed, "You're not really a prince, are you?"
Upon seeing Qian Ningning's self-conscious retreat, Lu Ruojiang immediately denied, "Of course not!"
"How could I possibly be a prince? I was just making an analogy. And if I really were a prince, why hasn't anyone come looking for me by now?"
"That's true," Qian Ningning didn't delve further, "Alright, let's get to work. The guests will be here soon."
"Okay."
...
Lu Ruojiang has probed multiple times, but Qian Ningning has always kept her distance from the prince's identity.
Qian Ningning doesn't dislike wealth and prosperity, she is just very clear-minded, knowing that the gap between herself and the royal nobility is greater than the distance between heaven and earth, so she never deludes herself.
And just as Qian Ningning said, can a prince really always control himself in an environment full of beautiful women?
If this prince is not Lu Ruojiang, then he wouldn't believe it either, so he can understand Qian Ningning's retreat.
However, even so, Lu Ruojiang never thought of giving up. He just wanted to work a little harder, give Qian Ningning a sense of security, and let her know that even after knowing his true identity, she still had enough confidence to believe that he loved her. Today, Qian Ningning didn't open the door, but instead dressed up carefully as if she was going out. Lu Ruojiang was a little surprised: "Do you have something to do today?" Qian Ningning was putting on makeup and said, "We have something to do."
"What's the matter?"
"I told you before that when I was in the music academy, sister Liang took good care of me. Unfortunately... before she passed away, I promised her that I would take care of her younger sister. Over the years, I have come to see her as my own sister. She has been busy lately, but today she finally has some free time, so we should tell her about our situation."
Seeing that Qian Ningning was about to draw her eyebrows, Lu Ruojiang walked over, took the eyebrow pencil, and started drawing for her. "Ningning, you should have told me earlier. Now I'm going to see your sister, and I haven't prepared anything. It's really impolite."
Qian Ningning watched Lu Ruojiang focus on drawing her eyebrows with a gentle expression, and couldn't help but smile: "We haven't made any preparations yet. It's not too late to prepare things when the day really comes."
"Okay, I'll listen to you," Lu Ruojiang put down the eyebrow pencil and let Qian Ningning look into the bronze mirror, "Not bad, right?"
Qian Ningning was quite surprised that Lu Ruojiang's eyebrow drawing skills were actually quite good.
I am very satisfied in my heart, but Qian Ningning glanced at Lu Ruojiang and asked, "With such great skills, did you practice on some young ladies?"
Lu Ruojiang exclaimed, "I only practiced in private because it was the first time I liked someone. I never had the time to practice before."
"I'll reluctantly believe you," Qian Ningning nodded at Lu Ruojiang and said, "If I find out you're lying to me—hmph!" She even waved her pink fist as she spoke.
Lu Ruojiang held onto that fist and casually pulled Qian Ningning into his arms, then leaned down to give her a kiss. "Ningning, why are you so adorable?"
Qian Ningning looked at Lu Ruojiang, "If I weren't adorable, you wouldn't like me."
"How could that be? I admit that your appearance was a big part of why I fell for you at first sight, but we've been together for so long, even a celestial being would become mundane to me."
"I like your appearance, but I love your inner self."
Qian Ningning was very moved, then reached out and grabbed Lu Ruojiang's face, "Am I tired of looking at me?"
"Uh..." Lu Ruojiang had cold sweat on his forehead, "No, how could I be tired? I will never get tired of it in my whole life. It was just a casual remark, I didn't even think about it."
This is almost there. Qian Ningning withdrew her hand, finally satisfied.
