章 338: Saving That Stamina

Yu Zhen instantly approached Li Xueyue, ignoring his sister. He grasped both of Xueyue's hands and squeezed it whilst looking over her carefully. No one dared to abuse the Crown Princess, but it was better safe than sorry. Seeing as there weren't any visible injuries on her, he nodded in satisfaction.

"You look lovely," Yu Zhen complimented under his breath so that only she heard it.

He watched in amusement as she blinked in surprise. She peered up at him with slightly parted lips. She always looked at him like that as if she was astonished by the sight of him. He wondered why. 

"I should be saying that," Li Xueyue responded.

"Lovely isn't a word to describe me," he mused, chuckling when she bit her bottom lip and averted her gaze.

Yu Zhen wondered if this was also 'a calculated move'. He couldn't help but think of that phrase each time she did something. But he had a feeling that everything she showed him was natural and not forced.
