“This humble woman dares not laugh, I only hope that the Prince can help this humble woman push this matter aside,” murmured Qiao Xiaomai with a tightened face.

“No problem, no problem.” Yang Ye nodded in agreement.

Speaking frankly, the root of this issue lay with him.

If he hadn’t called Ma Dongshu and consequently Cen Hong, none of this trouble would be present now.

“Thankyou, Prince,” Qiao Xiaomai appeased him with an artificial smile.

Yang Yefeng eyed her skeptically, clicking his tongue slightly.

Qiao Xiaomai returned his gaze, her eyes questioning.

Yang Ye leisurely raised his hand to pour another cup of tea, he sighed faintly, “If I were to offer you the position of chief wife, would you accept?”

Qiao Xiaomai; “…Prince, please don’t make fun of this humble woman.”

“I’m not jesting – consider my offer seriously,” Yang Ye held up his teacup, not drinking, only lightly shaking it in his hand, a serious look glinting on his handsome face.

Qiao Xiaomai’s face tightened again, “Prince, thank you for your love.

However, this humble country girl probably doesn’t qualify to be your chief wife.”

“Only a wife, there’s no need to worry about qualifications. I’m the type of person who likes freedom, and my wife can also be free to do whatever she likes,” Yang Ye raised an eyebrow.

“This humble woman was born to live a busy life. She can’t enjoy easy fortunes,” replied Xiaomai.

Clicking his tongue, Yang Ye sipped from his teacup, his lips stained with water, shiny and beautiful, “Excuses, all are excuses.”

“You, you’re fond of Tong Sanlang, aren’t you?”

Qiao Xiaomai stayed silent, her clear eyes met Yang Ye’s gaze, without any evasion.

“You won’t admit it?” Yang Ye placed his teacup on the table, casually picking up a mulberry. His fair slender fingers paired with the dark purple mulberry; quite a delightful sight.

Qiao Xiaomai remained mute.

Yang Ye threw the mulberry into his mouth, pulling up a corner of his lips to smile, “You, you’re stubborn and headstrong. Once you set your mind on something, it’s hard for others to change your perspective.”

“However, I have to remind you. In search of a good mate, you should open your eyes wide and see all aspects of that person. Don’t let yourself be fooled and pay with your whole life because of a moment of blindness.”

Qiao Xiaomai; “…”

Her eyelashes didn’t even flutter, but the words stirred a storm in her heart.

What did Yang Ye mean by this?

Did he already uncover the secret of the Tong Family and was warning her out of fear of her being deceived?

After thinking for a while, she spoke, “This humble woman does not need to use her eyes, I can feel it with my heart.”

“Huh, how naive,” Yang Ye scoffed on hearing this, “Young maidens like you who have not seen the world are the easiest to fool. A few sweet words could throw you into an utterly confused state.”

Qiao Xiaomai; “…”

Dear Prince, thank you. But, Tong Sanlang has truly not hidden anything from me. I already know his background.

Concluding this in her heart, a smile spread on her face, “Thank you for your concern, Prince.”

She really meant this gratitude.

Yet, for fear of Tong Sanlang getting hurt, she was not able to bring herself to smile brilliantly, she only maintained a calm facade.

Seeing this, Yang Ye thought she was obstinate and unwilling to realize the truth.

Sighing again, Yang Ye offered, “Fine, I promise you today, as long as you stay true, no matter what happens in the future, I will ensure your safety.”

Qiao Xiaomai; “…”

She should be overjoyed by this, but she felt like crying instead.

Good grief! Had Yang Ye really set his sights on the Tong Family?
