Chapter 24

Ye Lanchen looked at Tang Kexin. It was obvious that he was waiting for her reply.

The Prime Minister was also curious and wanted to know what his daughter was thinking at the moment. He did not agree with this engagement from the start, but it was bestowed by the Empress, so he couldn't refute. Because though Mu Shaoyi was outstanding, he didn't like Xin'er. And even if Xin'er were to marry him, she wouldn't be happy. Marriage was not a child's play after all.

Tang Kexin could tell that if she didn't answer, Ye Lanchen would never stop.

"Shouldn't we just discuss how to catch the right mouse?" In any case, she was currently in a crazed state, so she might as well pretend to be one until the end.

"You mean you really don't like him?" Ye Lanchen was stunned, and immediately understood the meaning of her words.

His face had an even more astonished expression as he asked, "Why? You used to like him so much, and you were willing to do anything for him. This Prince even reckoned that if he wanted your life, you would give it to him without any hesitation."

The Prime Minister was stunned. 'Xin'er doesn't really like Mu Shaoyi now?'

Ye Lanjue's eyebrows seemed to twitch a little.

"How is that possible? You were completely obsessed about him. How can you just say that you don't like him already?" Ye Lanchen really had the temperament to get to the bottom of things. He wouldn't stop until he got the answer.

As she listened to Ye Lanchen's endless questions, Tang Kexin felt her head ache. She secretly sighed and couldn't help but say, "Your Highness, there is one thing you need to understand. The appreciation level of a fool can be different."

Ye Lanchen was stunned once again. His eyes flashed a few times. "So you're saying that since you recovered from your illness and not stupid anymore, your interest with Mu Shaoyi had also waned?" It seemed that Ye Lanchen really knew how to grasp the main point in her words.

However, it wasn't that she had recovered from her illness and didn't like Mu Shaoyi anymore, but that she didn't like him at all. This was because she wasn't the same Tang Kexin from before. Of course, Tang Kexin wouldn't explain this point to him.

Seeing that she didn't answer, Ye Lanchen automatically assumed that she was silently admitting it.

"Then who do you like now?" A peculiar excitement suddenly appeared in Ye Lanchen's eyes.

"You suddenly don't like Mu Shaoyi anymore. You must have fallen for someone else, right? Tell me, who do you like now? So this Prince would ask Imperial Mother to help you…" Ye Lanchen was very interested in this question.

Tang Kexin felt as if her heart was being trampled by countless horses due to Ye Lanchen's endless questioning. Therefore, she wanted him to shut up. Otherwise, she could not guarantee what would she do after the next moment. Maybe she would physically shut his mouth on impulse.

"The one whom I like now is…" Tang Kexin wanted to say something, but she hesitated. She smiled and beckoned him over.

Ye Lanchen was stunned for a moment, but he quickly moved closer to her. His expression was one of urgency, anxious to know who Tang Kexin was going to say she liked?

Tang Kexin whispered into his ear. His eyes looked as if they were about to fall out of his head. Then in an instant, his expression changed. From shock to astonishment, then to fear, then to disbelief.

Seeing the changes in the Fourth Prince's expression, the Prime Minister was somewhat stunned and curious. This daughter of his, just who did she say she liked now that she had actually frightened the Fourth Prince to such an extent?

Ye Langchen stood rooted and forcefully swallowed a mouthful of saliva. He stared at Tang Kexin in astonishment before turning to the Prime Minister, then slowly turning to look at Ye Lanjue.
