Chapter 7: She Is Like This!

Jian Ningxi was truly exasperated by this little flirt's constant questioning about what kind of girl he liked. Hearing her ask again, he wanted to say the exact opposite of her—anyway, someone capable of marrying the Crown Prince certainly wouldn't be like her.

He suddenly reached out and pointed to Lan Linglong, who was standing nearby, "Someone like her!"

As soon as these words left his mouth, Crown Prince Zhou raised an eyebrow, looking thoughtful, while Lan Linglong froze in shock before being overcome with infinite joy. Did His Highness the Crown Prince mean he liked... liked her?

Lan Xiaoyu was also quite happy; she had finally pried the answer out, so her mission could be considered complete.

"Congratulations to you two, congratulations to you two! Well then, please enjoy your chat, I won't disturb you further, ha."

She cupped her hands in a respectful bow and backed away, her posture looking exactly like a wanderer from the martial world.

Without waiting for Jian Ningxi to say another word, she swiftly lifted the curtain and ran off.

"Since that is the case, I shall not disturb you two either." Zhou Lingtian smiled from the side and also began to walk out.

Jian Ningxi was momentarily stunned. "Crown... Prince... General—"

What was the Crown Prince doing leaving him here all alone?

He wasn't expecting him to converse with this woman, was he?

Jian Ningxi felt a massive headache coming on. He had thought that little flirt would ask some more strange and peculiar questions, but he hadn't expected her to suddenly leave, and even the Crown Prince had left.

Now...

He had to deal with this beautiful, gentle, and graceful woman all by himself, and on top of that, he seemed to have just said he liked women of that type. So, what was he supposed to do now?

He was choosing on behalf of the Crown Prince, and this woman was quite dignified.

But who could tell him how he was supposed to handle what came next???

————————————————————

Zhou Lingtian did not care about his friend's urgent desire to flee back to the military camp in extreme embarrassment. As soon as he stepped out of the pavilion, he chased after that "little fish."

Compared to Lan Linglong, he found this little fish to be far more interesting.

However, since the type Jian Ningxi liked turned out to be like that, he might as well inquire further later and then ask his Imperial Father to bestow a marriage upon him.

Thinking this, he caught up to Lan Xiaoyu in a few steps, conveniently blocking her path.

Lan Xiaoyu was lost in thought regarding her glorious career and, without paying attention, bumped into someone.

Fortunately, her reactions were swift; her feet crossed in two turns, and she stood steadily a few steps away. Her blue skirt flared out into a beautiful shape, looking like a cluster of blue irises, accompanied by the golden bells on her wrists that chimed most melodiously. On this summer afternoon, it was a sight that brightened one's eyes.

Once Lan Xiaoyu stabilized herself, she looked up and saw it was the Great General. She paused for a moment and tilted her head to look at him.

"Do you need something?"

"Now that you've asked the Crown Prince about his preferences, aren't you going to ask me?"

Lan Xiaoyu felt that this person was truly considerate. She had intended to ask him after the Crown Prince, but because of Lan Linglong's outburst, she couldn't stay any longer. She hadn't expected him to chase her out.

As expected, he also wanted her to help act as a live advertisement, didn't he?

Lan Xiaoyu hopped over and patted his shoulder. "Alright then. Actually, the questions I want to ask you are much more profound than the ones for the Crown Prince. You know, he is the Crown Prince, so I wouldn't dare to be impudent. But you, Great General, you must be someone who is unconstrained by trivialities and heroic and free-spirited, right?"

Zhou Lingtian looked at the small hand pressing against his shoulder; it was as white and tender as she was.

And her words were even more interesting—"wouldn't dare to be impudent"...

Wasn't she being impudent just now?

Nevertheless, he still smiled and said, "Naturally. Go ahead and ask."
