Rebirth: Pampered by the Lord

Long Rui stood like a block of wood, not moving from his spot.

It was unclear why, but Long Rui was always proactive in front of Xuexue, yet in front of other women, he became like a piece of wood.

Long Yi found it secretly amusing in his heart; he had no intention of reminding the Prince that this woman wanted him to be attentive.

Gu Lingqiao waited for a while, but Long Rui still did not respond. Unhappy, she pouted and said with a smile, "Brother Rui, I want you to feed me."

Without understanding the situation, Long Rui said, "Your hand isn’t injured, and there are boundaries between men and women. You should eat by yourself! The Princess Consort would be upset if she saw this."

Hearing this, Gu Lingqiao was displeased, pouting as she said, "Does Brother Rui only have the Princess Consort in his heart, with no room for Lingling?"

She forgot that with her face now injured, unable to even wear makeup, she was no longer the stunning Miss Gu, now indistinguishable from an ordinary girl.

Long Rui frowned slightly and said, "Lingling, you will always be my good sister."

Suddenly, Gu Lingqiao screamed, "No, Lingling doesn’t want to be Brother Rui’s sister, Lingling only wants to be your woman."

Long Rui was visibly taken aback; he had never imagined Gu Lingqiao would say such a thing to him.

His expression immediately darkened, "Lingling, stop talking nonsense. This isn’t good for us."

"What’s not good about it? We’ve been childhood friends and have had a foundation of feelings since we were young. Brother Rui, think clearly, now that you’ve changed, will the Princess Consort truly treat you sincerely? Perhaps she has ulterior motives, perhaps she has her eyes on the power in Brother Rui’s hands."

Finally, with tears in her eyes, she looked earnestly and sincerely at Long Rui and said, "Brother Rui, you must understand, in this world, only Lingling is best for you. Do you remember when we were young, Lingling almost lost her life saving you? Have you forgotten all of that?"

Gu Lingqiao once again brought up the time when Long Rui made a mistake and his father punished him.

Long Rui: "Little Sister Ling, the goodness you’ve shown this Prince will always be remembered."

Gu Lingqiao wiped the tears from her face and sorrowfully said, "Well then, it’s understandable that Brother Rui finds it difficult to accept our relationship change for the time being. Let’s not talk about it today, just join me for a meal! Lingling wants to have a little drink."

After saying this, she forced a smile on her face, such a pitiable young lady, making one feel very sympathetic.

Long Rui’s heart softened, and he sat down accordingly.

Gu Lingqiao waved at the maids serving beside her and said, "You can leave now. I want to have a heart-to-heart talk with the Prince, no need for your service."

The maids lowered their heads, agreed, and turned to leave.

Only three people remained in the room. Gu Lingqiao looked up at Long Yi, her intention was very clear.

Ever since Gu Lingqiao arrived at the War Prince’s Mansion, Long Yi held a prejudice against her. He pretended not to notice her hint, standing as steady as a mountain behind Long Rui, looking straight at the ground.

Gu Lingqiao had no way to deal with him, so she said, "Guard Long, I have something to discuss with the Prince, could you leave for now?"

Long Rui glanced at Gu Lingqiao with surprise, unsure of what she wanted to talk about with him. Seeing her serious expression, it seemed quite severe, so he said to Long Yi, "You should step outside for now."

Is the Prince foolish? There’s clearly a wolf, a tiger, and a leopard sitting before him, yet he let this subordinate leave, isn’t he giving others the chance to commit wrongdoing?

Long Yi: "Prince, this... isn’t right."

This woman clearly has ulterior motives, and now she has brought up being alone with the Prince in a room, which raised Long Yi’s alertness.
