Xiao Yi blinked, as if he hadn't heard her clearly. It was only after a moment's thought did he come back to himself. He no longer blamed her for what happened three years ago. He had to thank her for what happened three years ago.

And now, after thinking about it for three years, this request of hers for peace had really come out of her mouth?

Was she really going to make up with him?

A smile broke out on Xiao Yi's pretty face. It was a smile that captivated Shen Yuanxi and made her lose her train of thought.

"Yuanxi, I've always wanted to make up with you …" The corner of Xiao Yi's mouth curled up as he leaned over and whispered into her ear.

Do you know that ever since three years ago, after we made the acquaintance of each other, I've always wanted to make up with you, to treat you well?

Do you know that since three years ago, there has been a person that I remember in my heart? Her name is Shen Xi?

With a warm breath, Shen Yuxi's cheeks flushed red. She pushed at Xiao Yi and said in a low voice, "Since that's the case, let's not confront each other in the future, okay?"

"Alright." Seeing Shen Yuxi's reaction, a smile appeared on Xiao Yi's face once again. He had been using the wrong method all along.

Shen Yuanxi turned her head, no longer daring to look at Xiao Yi. Her devilishly devilish face wore a smile. Was she trying to make him drunk to death?

A warm sensation spread across Shen Yuxi's hand as she was gripped by the hand. She turned to see Xiao Yi looking at her with a smile on her face. It seemed as if she wouldn't let go of her hand no matter what.

"Yuanxi, it's getting late. It's time for us to go to the national banquet." Xiao Yi blinked as if she hadn't noticed anything amiss with her actions. She wore a pure and innocent expression, making people unable to bear to talk about her.

Shen Yuanxi sighed. She thought that Xiao Yi must have eaten the wrong medicine today. She would let him have his way this time.

Seeing Shen Yuxi remain silent, Xiao Yi couldn't help but smile even wider. She thought to herself, "Sure enough, I used the wrong method before …"

Just as she'd expected, the servants' eyes lit up as they walked out of the room holding Xiao Yi's hand. Seeing the incredulous expressions on her guards' faces, Shen Yuxi couldn't help but break into a smile.

"Miss, you …" Nightmare Pearl's voice trembled as it glared at Xiao Yi and Shen Yuxi, its eyes filled with shock.

Was she seeing things?

The young miss had always been at odds with the eighth prince, so how could she be so intimate with him now that she had entered his sleeping quarters?

No, no, no. Most importantly, how could Miss allow the Eighth Prince to hold her hand?

This was not in line with Mori!

Upon hearing Nightmare Pearl's reminder, Shen Yuoxi realized that although the men and women of Great Yan Nation weren't particularly wary of each other, holding hands in broad daylight wasn't the right thing to do.

With this thought, Shen Yuanxi shook off Xiao Yi's hand and looked at him warily, as if she were calling for someone to come over and hold her hand.

Xiao Yi rubbed his nose, a shy smile on his face. He'd been too excited to think about it.

However, it didn't matter as long as their relationship with Yuan Xi was at peace. Sooner or later, he would be able to do it in broad daylight …

"Isn't this eighth brother and Miss Shen?" A strange voice interrupted Xiao Yi's thoughts.

Xiao Yi's eyes darkened as he turned his head to look coldly at the speaker.

The person who spoke was also startled by Xiao Yi's stare. His heart skipped a beat, and he subconsciously halted his steps.

Shen Yuxi also looked over. The person who had spoken seemed to be the Second Prince, Xiao Yuan. He was a prince that the Emperor neither liked nor disliked.

Xiao Yuan only paused for a moment before becoming angry.

He was the second prince, and was a full three years older than Xiao Yi. Even though he wasn't favored by Xiao Yi, he was still better than the other princes. What right did Xiao Yi have to stare at him like that?

Xiao Yuan looked at Shen Yuxi, who was standing beside Xiao Yi, and rolled his eyes. He thought that she was angry at him for bickering with him again, so he laughed. "Eighth brother, why are you staring at me like that? If anyone dares to provoke you, can't you just let them apologize? "

Shen Yuanxi couldn't help but twitch her mouth when she heard this. She thought back to her previous life, when the Second Prince had encouraged her to do so. When she heard this, she immediately became angry and started bickering with Xiao Yi again.

Now that I think about it, she was really stupid back then.

Xiao Yi turned her head coldly, a playful smile on her face. However, there was no warmth in her smile, and her tone was bone-chilling. "Second brother, since that's the case, please apologize to me."

Xiao Yuan was stunned as he stared at Xiao Yi, as if he hadn't heard his words. "Eighth brother, what did you say?"

"I said, second brother, please apologize to me." Xiao Yi's voice was sinister to the extreme, her eyes expressionless.

Shen Yuan Xi couldn't hold back her laughter anymore. This Second Prince really knew how to cause trouble.

Shen Yuxi wasn't too concerned about Xiao Yi's request, because if Xiao Yuan didn't, he would be very upset for a period of time in the future …

Shen Yuxi was well aware of Xiao Yi's abilities. He had already achieved great things by the time he turned sixteen, regardless of whether it was in his previous life or his current life.

With his sharp eyes, Xiao Yuan saw Shen Yuxi's smile in an instant and asked angrily, "What are you laughing at, Miss Shen?"

"Huh?" Upon hearing Xiao Yuan's words, Shen Yuxi looked at him and blinked innocently, saying, "What are you laughing at …"

Xiao Yuan was furious, but he didn't dare to offend Shen Yuxi. He wasn't Xiao Yi; he had the support of the emperor and the empress. Thus, Xiao Yi and Shen Yuanxi had been on bad terms and hadn't been punished, much less detested by the emperor.

However, it was not certain if Shen Yuxi's target of hostility would be any other princes.

Xiao Yi turned to look at Shen Yuxi's smiling face, the corners of her lips curving upwards. Once again, an intoxicating smile appeared on her pretty face.

Shen Yuanxi wrinkled her nose, trying to resist the urge to bleed out of it. She had never realized in her previous life that this guy could be so attractive.

Xiao Yuan looked at Shen Yuxi and Xiao Yi's eyes, a trace of anger on his face. "Eighth brother, Miss Shen, why are you two here alone?" The national banquet is about to begin … "

Before Xiao Yuan could finish his sentence, Xiao Yi's gaze stopped him.

Xiao Yi sized Xiao Yuan up with a cold smile. "Don't worry about why we're here. You, on the other hand, will have to worry about it after today."

Shen Yuanxi smiled. Xiao Yi no longer asked Xiao Yuan to apologize. In that case, Xiao Yuan would have a difficult time in the future.

With that, Xiao Yi ignored Xiao Yuan and turned to Shen Yuxi with a smile. "Yuanxi, let's go."

Shen Yuxi looked at Xiao Yi's gentle face and couldn't help but marvel at the speed at which he changed his face. It was truly amazing …

Shen Yuxi pursed her lips, no longer looking at Xiao Yuan. She nodded, and the two of them headed back to the Imperial Feast Garden.

It was already getting late, so Shen Yuxi didn't want to be late along with Xiao Yi and attract everyone's attention.

Behind them, Xiao Yuan glared at them with bloodshot eyes and a savage expression on his face. He clenched his fists and said while gnashing his teeth, "Xiao Yi! Shen Yuxi! We'll see! "
