Chen Fenglei was very angry.
But he found himself unable to retort...
Could he tell Tang Fei that this was a rule everyone must follow, that the Princess wouldn't possibly get mad at you over this, nor would she suspect you of deliberately distancing yourself to avoid her friendship...
Wrong, the angle was off.
Why would he think the Princess harbored such thoughts? Why should the Princess get upset over this? Why would she care if you don't want to become friends with her? Is the Princess so lacking in friends? What could you bring to the Princess?
So utterly ordinary, yet how could one be so self-assured?
"Those from the Old Land..."
"They're from the Old Land..."
"Crude and vulgar with little culture..."
Chen Fenglei picked up his teacup, drained the leftover tea in one gulp, and then put on a smile again, saying, "As for the matter of titles, let's just discuss it later..."
If it really came down to it, let them hit a wall and suffer a bit.
