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

Chapter 523: Evasion

But if she really did that, Li Jingyang, who was standing next to her, would probably get angry and think that she was just like Ye Ruoruo.

Not wanting this situation to occur, Lin Rusi stood calmly to the side, observing the other person's appearance.

As if sensing this, the other person suddenly turned their head and smiled in Lin Rusi's direction.

She noticed this, but instead of saying anything, she carefully examined the man's appearance.

Upon seeing this, Lin Rusi immediately realized the other person's identity.

This person does indeed know martial arts and is a woman of the martial arts world; her name should be Shen Liuying.

If I remember correctly, this person also liked Li Jingyang, but at that time he already had Ye Ruoruo by his side and could not stay with Li Jingyang.

"This person also stepped forward, could it be..."

Before Lin Rusi could finish speaking, the two people's laughter interrupted her thoughts again, and she realized that they had even started gesturing when they got excited.

We interacted constantly, back and forth.

Just as Lin Ru thought this was the limit, the person in front of her suddenly exclaimed.

When everyone looked over, they saw that Shen Liuying, who was competing, had slipped and fallen towards Li Jingyang.

"Be careful."

The next moment, Li Jingyang had already picked the person up.

Shen Liuying leaned against the other person's chest, her face flushed with embarrassment, not daring to look anywhere else.

Fortunately, Li Jingyang put the person down immediately, otherwise people would definitely have thought that the two of them were a married couple.

Seeing this, Lin Rusi was unwilling to stay any longer and turned to walk upstairs.

Just as she turned to leave, a gaze followed her, the strange look in it going unnoticed.

"How are you? Did you twist your ankle?"

"Thank you for your concern, young master. My foot is fine. It's just that my foot slipped a bit during the movement just now. It must be from the injury I've been carrying. I need to exercise it properly."

Upon hearing this, Li Jingyang simply nodded and looked around, trying to find the figure from earlier.

But finding no figure below, he turned his head to look at the guards not far away.

Because there were strangers around, he didn't approach them, but instead cast his gaze toward the room of the two people upstairs.

Realizing that Lin Rusi was going back to rest, and not wanting to interrupt her rest, he turned his gaze to Shen Liuying.

"Young master, do you have other matters to attend to? Would you be willing to accompany me to purchase some items?"

"Just tell them what you need, and they will prepare it for you. I have other things to do, so I'll leave now."

Unexpectedly rejected, Shen Liuying raised her delicate eyebrows slightly, but quickly looked away, revealing a relieved smile.

"It was I who was being inconsiderate, knowing that the young master had something to do but still trying to drag you out."

He waved to the person and walked directly to the person who had just made eye contact with Li Jingyang.

She didn't care that Shen Liuying could sense the guard's location. Instead, she nodded to the person and turned to leave.

He waited until he returned in the evening, but instead of going to find Shen Liuying, he went straight back to his room.

"Madam, I'm back."

"Ah."

Lin Rusi still remembered what had happened before, and was somewhat cold towards people.

He thought it was just because he was too tired these days, so he didn't think much of it and reached out to hold that hand.

"Doesn't my wife miss me? These days we've only seen each other once. I miss you so much."

"Really? Not tired at all? Go wash up and rest."

He withdrew his hand, pushed the person towards the basin, and then lowered his eyes again to look at the things on the table that he had already looked at several times.

In fact, Lin Rusi regretted it a little when she returned to her room at noon. After all, if she had gone directly there at that time, she could have found out the other party's purpose.

Once that person achieves their goal, they will be able to pluck that peach blossom that never grew in their previous life.

But just as she mentally prepared herself to push open the door, she found that there was no one downstairs. She knew then that she had completely missed her chance and could only wait for Li Jingyang to make the first move.

Lin Rusi turned her head to look at the figure who was washing, hesitated for a long time, and finally let out a sigh as the person walked to her side.

Is there something you need?

"It's nothing serious, it's just that our food supplies have started to dwindle these days, and I'm worried we won't be able to hold out for much longer."

Hearing Lin Rusi's concern, he clenched her hands tightly again and gently rubbed them a couple of times.

Once the cold little hands began to warm up, he gently pulled her into his arms.

He lowered his head, wanting to kiss those red lips he still longed for, but before he could say anything else, his hand, carrying his scent, stopped him.

"Is there something you want to say to me, Madam?"

"I just think you're too tired and should rest. The dark circles under your eyes are a bit scary. Did you encounter any trouble on the way?"

That should make things clear enough, right?

But Li Jingyang took it as concern, and gently pulled the person into his arms, quickly walked to the bedside, and placed the person in the bedding.

Lin Rusi wanted to move, but the even heavier body pressed down on her, making it hard for her to breathe.

"It's so heavy."

"I thought I had lost a lot of weight recently."

Ignoring the other person's words, Lin Rusi tightened the blanket around herself and then closed her eyes.

Seeing this, Li Jingyang assumed the person was exhausted and could only hold them in his arms and slowly close his eyes.

A familiar scent wafted into his nose, and he yawned before falling asleep.

He regained consciousness the following day.

Looking at the people beside her, Lin Rusi thought of Ye Ruoruo and Shen Liuying, who had somehow gotten close to her, and her good mood vanished instantly.

She slowly got out of bed, quickly washed up, and then left the room.

When we returned to the inn, it was already dusk.

Although she hadn't done anything today, Lin Rusi didn't want to run into Li Jingyang, so she headed straight for another empty room.

As she closed the door, she suddenly saw the cloth tiger on the table and couldn't help but reach out and grab it.

Will they be separated? After all, this change was forced upon them by themselves.

Will repeatedly encountering the true love from a past life truly awaken those memories?

Lin Ru thought that the other party might become estranged from his real wife because of her, and her heart ached even more. She couldn't help but hug the little toy tightly.

I'm fine, after all, something even more tragic happened in my previous life.

But there is one person who cannot be changed, and that is Changning, whom she gave birth to after going through countless hardships.

"What should I do?"

Lin Rusi, who thought she was smart enough, now felt that her brain was not enough and gripped the little doll even harder.

"Should I leave with Changning?"

"What happened to Changning? Why did Madam suddenly come to Changning's room?"

Upon hearing Lin Rusi's words, Li Jingyang pushed open the door and sat down next to her.
