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

Chapter 159: Testing the Waters

Upon returning to the Prince's residence, Li Jingyang quickly learned of the matter.

"I never expected things to turn out like this. Show me this icon."

All I saw was a black crescent moon icon, something I'd never seen before.

“Your Highness, we have already investigated. There are indeed people who have gone missing in those parks, and the condition of the bodies doesn’t match. I think these people were likely replaced by assassins who came to the ship to carry out the assassination.”

After Ye Qing finished speaking, his expression became even more solemn.

I never expected these people to have such audacity.

"hateful!"

Li Jingyang's expression was solemn.

It's one thing for these people to harm themselves, but it's intolerable that they've dragged Lin Rusi and these innocent workers into it.

"Your Highness, what should we do now?"

Ye Qing took the initiative to speak.

"We must investigate the organization of these assassins at all costs. They dared to do such a thing right under my nose, and they must pay the price for their actions."

"Yes!"

That night, Lin Rusi had a very long dream. In the dream, the person who ended up with Li Jingyang was not Lin Ruqin at all.

Instead, it was Ye Ruoruo standing before her.

Now I finally understand why I always had a strange feeling when I saw this girl.

It turns out, she was Li Jingyang's destined one.

The next morning, Ye Ruoruo came over to check Lin Rusi's body as soon as she woke up. However, Lin Rusi was not as enthusiastic as usual, and she looked strange.

Ye Ruoruo also found this situation rather strange.

"Your Highness, what's wrong with you today? Is something wrong with your health again?"

When Ye Ruoruo asked, Lin Rusi immediately felt embarrassed.

He felt as if he had stolen the life that originally belonged to Ye Ruoruo.

"No...it's nothing. Have you been getting used to living here these past few days?" Lin Ru thought of changing the subject.

"Of course, the princess has taken great care of me. These days here have been the most pleasant time of my life. I must thank the princess."

Upon hearing this, Lin Rusi gave an somewhat awkward smile.

"If you like, you can stay here for a while longer. If you need anything, just let me know."

Lin Rusi felt guilty, as her position originally belonged to Ye Ruoruo.

Now that the real person has arrived, is it possible for me to change the ending of my past life?

If Li Jingyang ultimately chooses Ye Ruoruo, what should I do then?

"Your Highness, what exactly are you trying to say?"

Ye Ruoruo was very smart and could tell at a glance that Lin Rusi was not asking these questions at all.

"I..." Lin Rusi hesitated, unsure how to bring up the question.

After all, they were each other's destined ones, and her position was somewhat awkward. However, they had been through so much together, and she felt unwilling to give up so easily.

Lin Rusi did not reply.

Ye Ruoruo genuinely believed that the princess was unwell, and at this moment she also took her pulse.

Only then did they discover that the pulse was steady and there was nothing wrong with it.

"There doesn't seem to be anything unusual. Could it be that I've offended the Princess in some way?"

Ye Ruoruo carefully reviewed her actions and realized that she hadn't done anything that would offend Lin Rusi.

Upon hearing this, Lin Rusi denied it.

“Miss Ye, I didn’t mean anything by it, but… I have a question I’d like to ask you what you think.”

"I see. If Your Highness has any questions, please feel free to ask."

Upon hearing this, Ye Ruoruo didn't take the matter seriously at all.

Lin Rusi still wanted to get to the bottom of this matter.

If it's destined that the two of them will end up together, should I step aside as soon as possible?

“These days, I’ve noticed that you and the prince get along quite well, so I’d like to ask what you think of the prince.”

Ye Ruoruo was startled.

I had heard before that the wives of wealthy families would also take the initiative to find concubines for their husbands.

Could it be that Lin Rusi has taken a liking to him?

"Your Highness, why ask this? There is absolutely no way I could agree to that."

Upon hearing this, Ye Ruoruo misunderstood Lin Rusi's meaning and refused the offer without even thinking.

Although she was not a wealthy heiress, she would never become someone's concubine.

It was only at this moment that I began to feel somewhat uncomfortable.

"Promise me?"

Lin Rusi was also puzzled when she heard this, but after thinking about it for a moment, she understood what Ye Ruoruo meant. She realized that the girl must have misunderstood.

"You misunderstood. I didn't mean that. I just wanted to ask about this matter. Just tell me what you're thinking."

Hearing Lin Ruosi say this, Ye Ruoruo also felt a little strange.

Why should a woman ask other women for their opinions about her husband?

"Your Highness!"

Ye Ruoruo thought of Li Jingyang and also felt that this question was a bit difficult for her to answer.

But considering the few times we've met, my impression of him has been quite good.

Although his words were indeed a bit unpleasant, he had always treated his wife quite well, which made him far better than those men outside.

"Your Highness is undoubtedly a dragon among men, unlike anyone I've ever met before. But why is Wang Fei suddenly asking this question?"

Upon hearing this, Lin Rusi also felt a little nervous.

Was it destined that the two of them were a match made in heaven?

If that's the case, then what exactly is the value of my relationship with Li Jingyang?

"princess?"

Seeing Lin Ruosi staring blankly in front of her made Ye Ruoruo feel a little strange.

Could it be that the princess has misunderstood the relationship between the two of them?

"Your Highness, have you misunderstood something? Although I have been meeting with the Prince alone these days, I have only informed him about your health. The Prince is very concerned about this matter, so he asked me to report to him every time I come here. Other than that, we have nothing else to say."

Ye Ruoruo dismissed the matter with disdain.

She has her own pride, so how could she possibly fall in love with someone else's husband?

"I……"

Lin Rusi felt a little embarrassed upon hearing this, but even if she told him about her past and present lives, who would believe her?

Looking at her, Ye Ruoruo also felt that Lin Rusi lacked a sense of security.
