Keep It A Secret

"Ah? What's going on? Is there a story here?"

The old lady smiled and said, "Oh, she has a sweet tooth like Zihan. While in the Capital managing the family's business, she got bored at night and sneaked into Prince Shunqin's residence by climbing over the wall to steal food from the kitchen. The young prince saw her, and since then, he couldn't forget her. He vowed to marry her, and that's how their love story began."

Qiao Mai widened her eyes in surprise. "Wow, did I accidentally become involved with a future princess?"

"Hehe, you're quite witty. You don't care, but you act like you do."

"I do care. Who said I don't care? Having a powerful ally can come in handy, and you never know when I might need it. So, is Jiaru in the Capital now?"

"Yes, her father couldn't go, so her mother took her there, and they've arranged the wedding date with the groom's family."

"Does that mean I won't get to see her anymore?"
