Rebirth: Pampered by the Lord

Gu Lingqiao had always been wary of this topic, and now that Xuexue brought it up in person, she naturally felt uncomfortable.

"Let me tell you, don’t think I can’t get married! All these years, I’ve been waiting for Brother Rui!" The implication was that Long Rui had delayed her lifelong happiness, hence no marriage.

Long Rui, sitting beside her, heard Gu Lingqiao’s words, and his mood instantly soured. He secretly glanced at Xuexue beside him, and seeing that she wasn’t angry, he felt relieved.

Xuexue remained calm and composed, smilingly saying, "Miss Gu is overthinking, the meaning of this Princess Consort is, I am sixteen this year."

Gu Lingqiao didn’t immediately grasp it: "Ah?"

Xuexue casually said, "Miss Gu is older than me, shouldn’t call me sister, it sounds absurd, and others find it odd as well. Better to call me Princess Consort, it’s much more pleasant."

Gu Lingqiao was furious, before the Prince, wasn’t this wretched woman deliberately trying to embarrass her? Just because she’s a few years younger, what was the big deal?

She deliberately refused to call Xuexue ’Princess Consort,’ making herself seem inferior by a large margin. According to her relationship with the Prince, they should have been on equal footing, or even she should take the lead.

"Miss Gu?" Gu Lingqiao stood silently by the side, her face showing no expression, but Xuexue knew she was surely furious, yet had to maintain her lady-like demeanor in front of Long Rui, only suppressing her anger.

Gu Lingqiao suddenly raised her head, eyes filled with tears, and said with a crying voice: "The Princess Consort suddenly brought up Lingling’s sad past, Lingling laments how time flies, and in the blink of an eye, it’s been over ten years since separating from Brother Rui. Lingling, because of her deep feelings for Brother Rui, has decided he’s her husband for life, refusing to marry hastily, missing out on many suitors. Back home, she’s become everyone’s laughing stock, Lingling’s heart is bitter!"

After speaking, she bowed her head and cried.

Xuexue did not expect Gu Lingqiao to be so cunning, even confessing to Long Rui at this moment.

"Miss Gu, you are so gentle and beautiful, much like a flower, why put yourself through such hardship? Another day, the Prince and I will introduce you to a talented and artistic man, and you’ll never have to live in such misery again."

Gu Lingqiao sniffed her red nose, pitifully looking at Long Rui and said: "No, now that I’ve seen Brother Rui, everything before was worth it."

This woman was shameless enough, an unmarried girl openly confessing to a man. Xuexue was even slightly suspicious whether she was still pure.

Xuexue elbowed Long Rui, who was uninvolved, leaned towards his ear, and whispered, "Hey! She’s speaking so intensely, you should show some response!"

Long Rui: "What!"

Xuexue glared: "Pretend, keep pretending."

Long Rui said bitterly, "Wife, last night was terribly busy with work, slept late; I was dozing off just now and truly didn’t hear what you were saying?"

Fine, his act was flawless, Xuexue admired it, and didn’t expose him, it was perfect to let Gu Lingqiao give up.

The two huddled together whispering, Gu Lingqiao strained to hear but couldn’t make out their words. She waited on the side for Long Rui to be touched and then marry her.

Long Rui cleared his throat and said: "Lingling, it’s getting late, you should go back. As for the chef’s issue, I’ll handle it for you."

Lastly, he added: "Don’t worry about the duck heads either; they’re bound to be tastier than before. You should head back; the Prince and Princess Consort have yet to have breakfast!"
