Indeed, one cannot communicate with Shen Chuwei using normal reasoning!
Otherwise, I would be halfway to death with frustration, while she would think I'm happy.
Shen Chuwei spoke meekly, "The banquet is not an important event. Although I am but a Lady, I am also entitled to attend. Your Highness has even taken me to one before."
As she spoke, her voice trailed off, lacking conviction.
Xiao Jinyan raised an eyebrow, "How do you know the banquet is not an important event?"
Shen Chuwei was stunned for a moment and admitted that he was right; sometimes banquets are indeed very important events. After thinking, she said, "If it's not an important event, Your Highness can still take me. I'm not greedy."
Xiao Jinyan paused in his tea drinking, probably not expecting Shen Chuwei to say that.
He spoke with a frustrated air, "Then how can you let me take someone else?"
