บท 161: Princess

I felt sorry for her. I looked around. "Does this mean there are your guards hiding around us now?"

Mai Qi nodded. "Of course. But I can't tell where they are and what disguises they have taken. I don't want to know either, I just pretend that they don't exist. That way, I can keep up the illusion that I'm just out for a meal with my friend."

I sighed and patted her hands. "My dear princess, be content. Not everyone has this blessing. Look at Lu Yan, she can't imagine someone is living a life like yours." Lu Yan was busy since she started the semester. She had many part-time jobs and was rarely seen at the dorm. She would come back and collapse from tiredness. It was clear that she had financial problems but she refused to accept our charity. She was an independent and hardworking girl.

Mai Qi smiled. "My mother always tells me the same thing but I only find her annoying. She keeps on repeating the same thing."
