She nearly revealed the secret about Nan Xian.
Feng Ruqing did not notice it. She smiled softly. “I told you. I like only Nan Xian.”
Suyi lowered her eyes slightly.
‘She likes Nan Xian. It’s not easy.
‘What if…
‘I kidnap Nan Xian at night?’
“Other than him?”
“I like beautiful people aside from him.” Feng Ruqing smiled happily.
Suyi was quiet.
‘She likes beautiful people. Nan Xian will definitely kill me if I ever dare to present her with beautiful people.’
“What else?”
“Beautiful palace maids.”
Suyi’s lips twitched. ‘Can you please not ask for beautiful people anymore?’
‘Then… Nan Xian it is. Why don’t you tell me where he is so I can kidnap him for you?”
“Don’t you know where he is?” Feng Ruqing’s smile deepened.
Suyi was stunned.
‘Does Feng Ruqing know about our relationship? When did she know? When did I reveal myself?’
“Oh, what I meant was Nan Xian is the state preceptor of our Liu Yun Kingdom. Everybody knows that he lives in Southern Bamboo Grove.” Feng Ruqing fixed her eyes on Suyi with a mysterious smile.
Suyi remained calm and secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
‘So that was why…
‘I thought that I had revealed myself.’
“Then, I’ll go and meet him tonight. You just wait for him in your room tonight.”
“Fine.”
Feng Ruqing stretched her body lazily. She grinned and said, “Then, I’ll wait for the two of you in the princess’s manor.”

At night.
It was quiet.
The man touched the young girl’s face softly with his slender fingers. His eyes were soft like a calm river and gentle like a soft breeze.
Feng Ruqing soon saw the handsome face in front of her when she opened her eyes.
The man’s beauty was simply celestial. He was elegant and noble.
“Did your mother kidnap you?” Feng Ruqing got up and leaned against the wall behind her. She smiled and asked Nan Xian.
Nan Xian smiled softly. “You know?”
“Yes, I knew it a long time ago.” Feng Ruqing shrugged and replied Nan Xian with a smile.
Nan Xian was calm. “Did you expose her secret?”
“No, I find it quite interesting that she’s acting like she doesn’t know you in front of me. So, I just want to see for how long she can put up with the act.”
‘Suyi and the white phoenix know each other. It’s impossible that she has never met Nan Xian before.
‘Moreover, her eyes would not have been so similar to Nan Xian’s eyes even if she really was a friend of the white phoenix and that she has never met Nan Xian before.
‘It’s impossible that Suyi is Nan Xian’s sister given how old she is. So, there’s only one possibility.’
“In fact, I never would have guessed the truth if she did not mention that she is a friend of the white phoenix and she never told me how old she is. I would never have known the truth just by looking at how the two of you look like each other.”
There were so many people who looked similar in this world.
The likeness among people did not mean anything much.
‘But, Suyi has revealed too much herself. That was why I could link her to Nan Xian. It seems that what I have guessed is not wrong.’
“She’s quite naive.” Nan Xian patted Feng Ruqing’s head. “She’s against the thought of you being in the middle of the Mu family’s fight. She’s afraid that you would ask about my… father. She doesn’t want you to know about that bastard’s existence. She just wants to reveal the truth to you when she’s done with the Mu family.”
‘Moreover, that person would never let me go. He’ll definitely arrange a marriage for me.’
