By the time they returned to the room, the food was already cold and she lost even more of her appetite.

Yuan You and He’an came running in when they heard the news.

“What happened, Big Sis? Why did Big Bro Long Yin suddenly leave?” He’an asked anxiously.

“Yeah, how did he suddenly go away just like that?” Yuan You was curious as well.

“He has a pair of legs. He can leave whenever he wants to. What’s so strange about that?” Hexin replied with indifference.

“Didn’t he say anything to you?” Yuan You frowned.

“I’m a nobody to him. Why would he tell me anything?” Hexin said nonchalantly.

Yuan You choked—even a dull person like her could detect something was not right. She looked at Hexin thoughtfully. “That doesn’t sound right. Weren’t you two quite close just a few days before? He even wanted to marry you. He would have told you if he wanted to return to Great Shang, wouldn’t he?”

Hexin pressed her lips together. “When did you see us being close?”

“I saw it with my own eyes and I’m not the only one. He’an saw it too, right, Cousin He’an?” Yuan You looked at He’an.

For once, He’an was quiet.

He was silent for a while before asking, “Big Sis, who is Lu Xue?”

Hexin glanced at him in surprise. “Did you hear everything?”

He’an sighed in an adult-like manner. “I overheard the conversation between you and Big Bro Long Yin when I came over here last time.”

Hexin nodded.

Yuan You asked anxiously, “What’s this about Lu Xue? What are you talking about?”

“Lu Xue is Long Yin’s younger cousin. She went missing from the frontier between Great Shang and Danjue. Long Yin is very worried about her, which is why he left in a hurry, ” Hexin explained.

Yuan You frowned. “She’s just missing. Should he be so worried about it? Besides, the frontier is quite a distance from here. What can he do by suddenly rushing over from here?”

Hexin smiled bitterly. “You don’t understand. That cousin of his holds a special place in his heart. It’s only normal for him to be so anxious when she has suddenly gone missing.”

“It’s just a missing cousin, why is he so anxious? I really don’t understand.”

Yuan You paused and her eyes widened. “Are you telling me that the person

Crown Prince Long loves is Lu Xue?”

Hexin nodded. “Yes.”

When Yuan You heard the answer, she said in a huff, “Then why would he come chasing after you when there is already another lady in his heart? He’s gone too far!”

He’an was frowning tight as well and said with regret, “How can Big Bro Long Yin act this way? Who does he think you are? If I knew about this, I wouldn’t have helped him.”

When she heard this, Hexin asked, “What did you help him with?”

He’an began stammering. “No… Nothing.”

Hexin’s eyes narrowed. “Is there really nothing?”

He’an felt guilty and he shifted his gaze.

He was really regretting it now. If he had known about this, he would not have stolen his sister’s painting and shown it to Big Bro Long Yin. He even helped create opportunities for Big Bro Long Yin to be alone with his sister.

Hexin knew her only brother very well. When she saw that look in his eye, she knew that he was hiding something from her.

“Forget about it if you don’t want to say it,” she said softly with a sigh.

When He’an saw this, he could no longer stand the guilt in his heart and confessed in a stammer, “I… I stole your painting of him and showed it to him.”

Hexin instantly turned to look at him when she heard this. She said through clenched teeth, “Beitang He’an, I’m furious right now.” No wonder Long Yin was so sure about her feelings. It was because he had seen the painting she had secretly drawn.

The thought of him reading the words on the painting made her feel even more embarrassed..
