Baili Hongzhuang stood up slowly, disregarding Nangong Xiu Jie's intentions. After all, he was still the Second Prince of Qingxiao Country.
Since they were in Qingxiao Country, it was only right to give Nangong Xiu Jie some face.
"Baili... Hongzhuang." Nangong Xiu Jie murmured Baili Hongzhuang's name, and a smile gradually widened on his lips. "Indeed, it's a good name! Not only beautiful, but the name itself is also very pleasing to the ears."
"Thank you for the compliment, Second Prince," Baili Hongzhuang replied with a faint smile.
However, Baili Hongzhuang's smile only intensified Nangong Xiu Jie's fascination.
Even her previous calm demeanor was already an art form, and now that she smiled, it was even more extraordinary.
On the other side, Dongfang Yu and the others exchanged glances. How did it seem like they had nothing to do with them at all?
"This Qingxiao Country is also a big country. I thought this prince would be more impressive, but he's just another philandering playboy who only cares about beauty," Bai Junyu frowned.
Their actions clearly showed that they didn't regard them highly, and such behavior was detestable.
"Gong Shaoting, Liu Qinyue clearly isn't good at handling this situation. Shouldn't you intervene?" Dongfang Yu looked at Gong Shaoting. It was unbearable, and everyone knew that Liu Qinyue's heart belonged to Gong Shaoting. How could he let someone steal his brother's woman?
Gong Shaoting's eyes grew slightly cold. Nangong Xiu Jie and Nangong Yujin were clearly underestimating everyone, but Gong Shaoting couldn't help but focus his gaze on Baili Hongzhuang.
Baili Hongzhuang and Liu Qinyue were two different women. Baili Hongzhuang lacked Liu Qinyue's tenderness, but instead, she was independent and strong, with unique insights and fearlessness.
He believed that Baili Hongzhuang wouldn't let the other party bully her.
"I have many delicacies and fine wines in my residence. Would Miss Baili be interested?" Nangong Xiu Jie's eyes gleamed with desire. If he could obtain Baili Hongzhuang, it would surely make many people jealous.
Seeing how Nangong Xiu Jie spoke so rudely without any pretense, the look of disgust in Baili Hongzhuang's eyes deepened.
She truly had no good impression of the royal family's offspring, whether it was Xuan Yuanhuan and Xuan Yuanjing from Fengbo Country or Nangong Xiu Jie and Nangong Yujin in front of her. They all had the same ugly faces.
In the next moment, a seductive and beautiful smile curled up at the corners of Baili Hongzhuang's lips, and her phoenix-like eyes brimmed with infinite charm.
Nangong Xiu Jie's heart trembled. A beauty was still a beauty, and every expression and smile she made was full of allure.
However, the words Baili Hongzhuang uttered made him momentarily stunned.
"Thank you for the invitation, Second Prince, but I am already full."
Her casual and indifferent words were so genuine and honest. Indeed, the dishes and wine on the table were almost gone, and Baili Hongzhuang had truly eaten enough.
However, her answer seemed a bit too straightforward, didn't it?
Nangong Xiu Jie couldn't help but wonder if this beauty didn't understand the meaning behind his words.
"Baili Miss, the garden in my residence is also quite nice. How about taking a walk after a satisfying meal?" Nangong Xiu Jie asked again.
"Oh?" Baili Hongzhuang raised an eyebrow playfully. "Then you'll have to ask my husband if he agrees."
Baili Hongzhuang blinked innocently, her face displaying innocence and purity. Dealing with someone like him directly would only invite his bullying behavior, so why not play around? She wanted to see how he would handle it.
