Abused Female Lead And Beautiful Villainess (3rd Story)

Chapter 38: Are You A Princess? The Kind With A Ruined Reputation (8)

So, except for you, I'm not supposed to care about anyone else?

Shen Wan thought for a moment before she smiled and nodded quickly, "Okay, since you said so, I will try."

"There's no trying, you must do it. From today onward, I will let people know that I have a companion named He Wan. You are not allowed to reveal this secret. Is that clear?"

"Yes, yes, yes. I will absolutely not reveal it."

He Qingning was in a good mood, she said, "Quickly put away your expressions and show me your cold face."

Shen Wan: The little princess' taste is really a bit troublesome. She actually likes to look at her cold face.

Well, since the little princess likes this kind of fun, I'll just go along with it as long as she's happy.

Shen Wan withdrew her smile, her small face turning severe, and her expression serious. The light in her eyes also disappeared in that moment and only a cold presence can be felt from time to time. He Qingning was surprised to see it.

She didn't expect that Shen Wan could act like this. It was as if this cold Shen Wan was real.

"Smile." He Qingning was a bit disturbed and couldn't help but demand this. It was so strange to see her so cold and indifferent.

Shen Wan grinned quickly, her smile spread across her face. This look was more familiar, so He Qingning was relieved, "Good, good. You should practice more in the future. When there are people around, you are He Wan."

"Understood. In front of you, I'm able to smile, right?" Shen Wan leaned her body over the table, looking at He Qingning with a smile on her face, "I'll listen to you. Now that we're on the same boat, there's no going back."

"Yes, you can only smile in front of me."

And only listen to her.

He Qingning glanced at the pretty face close to her. Those clever eyes were really attractive. When Shen Wan obediently agreed to her, her heart was racing hard and she didn't know why.

"I have already sent someone to take care of Hong Zhu."

"Thank you, Your Highness." Shen Wan smiled in thanks. He Qingning turned her gaze away from that fair and beautiful face.

"In three days, we will set out. We may encounter many risks along the way."

"Don't be afraid, Your Highness, I will protect you." Shen Wan raised her small fist and said with a frown, "I am the cold and ruthless, most powerful He Wan whose mission is to protect the Royal Princess."

He Qingning let out an amused huff. She smiled and took a sip of tea. "You must also protect yourself. I hope that it will be the two of us together in the end." At first, she had only been fascinated by Shen Wan's skills and intelligence. Her interest made her want to bring this woman full of secrets and extraordinary skills into her side. Now, it seems that her heart is steering her in a different direction.

"Your Highness, give me a day to prepare. I have to make arrangements with the businesses I have in the Imperial City."

"Go ahead."

He Qingning thought of the list of establishments she found and mentally calculated the number of customers going in and out of them each day. She pursed her lips. Shen Wan is indeed very powerful. It's not hard to imagine the amount of hand cramps the other woman gets after counting so much money. ¹

At the same time, at the crown prince's mansion, a steward was helping Shen Shi take inventory of Shen Wan's dowry. Looking at such a desolate place with only boxes full of rags, Shen Shi's face flushed in anger. ²
