To eliminate the hidden threat of Sang Zhong as quickly as possible, Li Cheng once again orchestrated a "chance encounter" with Hua Manman.
Hua Manman was quite surprised to see the Crown Prince blocking her path.
'I can't believe the Crown Prince hasn't given up on me yet!'
Hua Manman curtsied to him, then turned and started walking in another direction.
Li Cheng hurried after her. "Lady Hua, wait a moment."
Hua Manman stopped but refused to look at him, speaking sullenly.
"If the Crown Prince has an order, please state it quickly. I don't wish to be accused of improper conduct again."
Li Cheng smiled helplessly.
"Are you still angry with me? Last time, in front of Prince Zhao, I only spoke without thinking because I was furious.
I'm apologizing to you. Isn't that enough?"
Hua Manman huffed. "I am unworthy of the Crown Prince's apology."
Li Cheng moved to stand in front of her. Gazing at her delicate and beautiful face, he asked with deep affection.
