After refusing marriage, she was pampered by the prince who acted as a shield.

Chapter 160: Comfort

"Your Highness, I understand what you mean."

Ye Ruoruo was intelligent and noticed Lin Rusi's doubts. It seemed that she needed to explain this matter properly.

"Oh?"

"I think you probably want to ask me if I have any inappropriate feelings for the Prince, but I think you don't need to worry about this. Although the Prince is a good person, we are not on the same path."

At this moment, Ye Ruoruo also spoke her mind directly.

All she wanted was to travel the world, practice medicine, and save lives; she had no interest in marrying into royalty or nobility.

Moreover, through these few encounters, it is quite obvious that the two people's personalities are completely incompatible.

"I have absolutely no other opinion about Your Highness. The only reason I'm staying at the Prince's residence is because your health hasn't fully recovered yet."

After saying that, Ye Ruoruo also hoped that Lin Rusi could rest assured.

Lin Rusi finally breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this.

"Miss Ye, please don't take this to heart. I was just asking casually."

Ye Ruoruo didn't take it to heart.

"That's quite normal. After all, there are many girls in the capital who have their eyes on the Prince. It's always right for the Princess to be careful."

Ye Ruoruo also knew that Li Jingyang was quite popular among these young ladies, so it was understandable that Lin Rusi was worried about her status.

Unfortunately, I've never been like those people.

They also didn't want to waste their time on such emotional matters.

"Miss Ye is indeed intelligent. I was just being presumptuous in judging you."

The two were talking together, unaware that their conversation was overheard by Li Jingyang, who was standing outside the door.

Li Jingyang didn't know how he felt right now.

Although this proves that Lin Rusi cares about him, this feeling still makes him feel somewhat uncomfortable.

Only then did they enter the room inside.

When Ye Ruoruo saw Li Jingyang, she thought of her answer just now and felt a little embarrassed, afraid that this man would hear her.

“Miss Ye, I have something to say to the Princess. If you have nothing else to say, please go back now.”

Upon hearing this, Ye Ruoruo was naturally delighted and quickly left their room.

Li Jingyang's face immediately turned cold, and one could vaguely sense that he was somewhat angry.

"Your Highness..."

"Sisi, why did you have such strange thoughts just now? My relationship with Miss Ye is only about your health. Why did you ask those questions?"

Li Jingyang also had some doubts about this matter.

"I……"

Upon hearing this, Lin Rusi didn't know how to explain the problem, but no matter what, whenever she thought of the things she had experienced in her past life, she always felt a sense of confusion in her heart.

However, this is indeed not fair to Li Jingyang.

"Sisi, you know perfectly well that there's only you in my heart, and there's no room for anyone else, so why do you still doubt my feelings for you?"

Li Jingyang also felt uneasy.

Is it because I haven't done enough?

Lin Rusi saw that he was really angry, so she tried to find a way to comfort him.

"No...that's not it. I had a very long dream last night...Your Highness, would you like to hear it?"

Upon hearing this, Li Jingyang also found it somewhat strange.

But he nodded nonetheless, wanting to see why this woman had such strange ideas.

"What do you think."

“I had a strange dream that night. In the dream, I was tricked by my older sister and married to Li Zeyan. I suffered all kinds of abuse and contempt from everyone and eventually died of depression. The person who really married you was Miss Ye.”

Lin Rusi hesitated for a moment, but still told Li Jingyang about what had happened before, using the dream as an excuse.

Li Jingyang was both amused and exasperated upon hearing this.

"It's just a dream, how can it count! Besides, you heard it yourself, Miss Ye has no feelings for me at all, it's all just your own imagination."

He felt somewhat helpless, but at this point he remained patient and did not continue to lose his temper.

"I know it was just a dream, but the feeling in the dream was so real that I couldn't help but ask Miss Ye if she had those kinds of thoughts about you. I admit that I was being too selfish."

After thinking about this, he lowered his head somewhat helplessly.

For a moment, she didn't know how to face Li Jingyang.

"Sisi, I've made it very clear. From now on, there will only be you by my side. Whether it's Miss Ye or Miss Wang, they are just strangers to me."

After saying this, he pulled Lin Rusi into his arms.

Feeling this familiar warmth calmed Lin Rusi down considerably.

Thinking of himself, he felt a little embarrassed for asking Ye Ruoruo such an unreasonable question earlier.

"I'm sorry, I shouldn't have done that."

Li Jingyang didn't take the matter to heart.

The next day, he brought some gifts and went to find Ye Ruoruo.

"Your Highness? Why are you here? Your body has only just recovered and you are still weak. If you catch a chill, it could cause lasting health problems."

Ye Ruoruo frowned helplessly when she saw Lin Rusi come to find her.

“Miss, I know my own body. I was just looking outside today and the weather was nice, so I thought I'd come over and have a chat with a girl.”

After saying this, he took out the gift he had prepared and placed it on the table.

“What happened yesterday was indeed my fault. That issue must have caused trouble for the girl. I came here today specifically to apologize to her.”

But to everyone's surprise, Ye Ruoruo didn't care about these things at all.

“Your Highness, it’s nothing serious, and I didn’t take it to heart. As for these gifts, you should take them back. I’ve never had much need for these things, and it would be a waste to give them to me.”

Upon hearing this, Lin Rusi didn't want to force herself, so she nodded.

"Actually, there's something else I'd like to remind the Princess."

Ye Ruoruo took the initiative to speak.

"Please feel free to speak, young lady."

"When I took the princess's pulse that day, I also noticed that she was overly worried. Although this is not a big deal, if it continues, it will definitely affect the princess's health. So the princess should pay more attention to this matter in the future."
