After being reborn, I was won over by the heartfelt words of my loyal bodyguard.

Chapter 277: The Person I Admire

"Actually, I have the same thought as you. I also think that the girl just now really looks like the princess. But isn't the princess supposed to be very fierce? How come she is so beautiful now?"

The shopkeeper said this very quietly, because he genuinely felt that the girl from earlier really was the princess.

Forget it, they should hurry up and deal with things now, so they don't end up in trouble later.

Inside the private room, Gan Luo focused his attention on the teacups on the table and poured himself a cup of tea.

"Your Highness, do you have someone you admire?" Xin Ruyu asked this question here.

"I only want to tell you one thing: I don't have anyone I like right now, and even if I don't have anyone I like, you will never be able to have me. I hope you can understand this."

Xin Ruyu hadn't expected Gan Luo to be so heartless; he was truly astonished. Xin Ruyu fixed his gaze on Gan Luo, desperately hoping that Gan Luo could...

"But for me, you have always been in my heart. Why can't Your Highness just look at me?"

"Because I think you are not worthy of me, a toad. You are just trying to eat swan meat here, aren't you? I just want to tell you one thing: stay away from me."

Gan Luo spoke coldly, his eyes filled with disgust. Lin Fengmian saw Gan Luo and understood the meaning in his eyes. He knew just how much Gan Luo loathed Xin Ruyu.

Before this, Gan Luo would never have treated Xin Ruyu like this. Why is he treating Xin Ruyu so naturally now? But the more he does this, the more interested Xin Ruyu becomes, because the more he can't have something, the more he wants it.

Gan Luo sensed Xin Ruyu's inner thoughts and at that moment felt that Xin Ruyu was truly ruthless.

"I only want to tell you one thing. I hope you will stay away from me in the future. After all, I don't want to have any entanglement with you at all, especially since there are so many girls here."

Xin Ruyu then told Gan Luo, "I hope Your Highness will not regret what you said."

Finally, Gan Luo used his mind-reading ability to try and understand Xin Ruyu's thoughts, but he found that he couldn't find out what was going on in Xin Ruyu's mind at all. At this moment, Gan Luo felt a bit of a headache.

After all the dishes were served, Gan Luo and Lin Fengmian ate with great relish, while Xin Ruyu, completely selfless, seemed to be an outsider.

"He's just a guard, yet he's dining with his master here. Is that really acceptable? If other people saw this, wouldn't they laugh their heads off?"

"What does my pampering have to do with you? I just want to tell you one thing: don't say such things here again, or get out of here."

Hearing Gan Luo say this, Lin Fengmian felt a warmth in his heart, because he was genuinely happy.

Afterwards, everyone barely managed to finish a meal together. Gan Luo left without looking back, taking Lin Fengmian with him. Once they returned to the princess's residence, Gan Luo immediately looked at Lin Fengmian.

"I have something to tell you, which is that you must observe Xin Ruyu carefully in the future. I am quite curious to see what kind of trouble Xin Ruyu will cause now."

"Your Highness, you can rest assured that I will take good care of this matter. However, I would like to refrain from dining with you at the table from now on, as it would be somewhat inappropriate."

How could Gan Luo not know what Lin Fengmian meant by those words? Gan Luo then directly told Lin Fengmian that from now on, whatever Gan Luo said, Lin Fengmian had to use it in accordance with the rules, otherwise, Gan Luo would not be so polite.

The only thing Lin Fengmian could discern from Gan Luo's eyes was that Gan Luo was indeed somewhat alive.

But for Lin Fengmian, it always felt a bit out of place with the poetic spirit, didn't it? How he wished Gan Luo could be more reasonable these days, but judging from Gan Luo's current demeanor, he seemed completely unwilling to reason.

Lin Fengmian then respectfully agreed to Gan Luo's request. However, for him, what the person had just said did indeed make a lot of sense.

After returning to the Prince Yu's residence, Xin Ruyu immediately summoned his advisor. Upon arriving, the advisor inquired, "Your Highness, have you encountered any difficulties? If so, please tell me. I will certainly help you resolve any issues that I can handle."

Xin Ruyu had already told his advisor, "I met Her Highness the Princess today, but she seems to have a bloodlust for me. What do you think I should do to improve her attitude towards me?"

It turned out that the matter was related to Gan Luo, and the strategist really didn't know what advice to give.

"Regarding this matter, I think Your Highness could ask the maids in the palace what the princess likes."

If it were about something like this, shouldn't Xin Ruyu have asked Gan Luo what she liked? Why would she be asking Gan Luo, a maid in the Prince's mansion, what she likes?

After that, Xin Ruyu went directly to summon Zhao Wuji to the Yuwang Mansion.

Upon arriving here, he was in a state of confusion, having no idea why he had been called here.

"I have something to ask you now, and it concerns my happiness. I hope you will think about it carefully."

Zhao Wuji had no idea what Xin Ruyu wanted to ask, so he simply said, "I will tell you anything I know."
