Her Highness Doesn’t Want to Work Hard Anymore

Nonsense

Hua Manman was silently estimating the distance between the top and bottom of the mountain in her heart right now.

According to the principle of sound wave transmission, if someone were to stand at this position and from this far away, normally they would not be able to hear any sounds or conversations that took place at the top of the mountain in the octagonal pavilion.

But Zhao-wang is not an ordinary person.

He comes from a long line of martial artists, and has sharp ears and eyes.

It’s possible that he could even hear movement inside the octagonal pavilion.

That means.

Zhao-wang may have heard all the obscene things she was saying just now.

In this moment, Hua Manman really wanted to die on the spot!

Just now, she was so focused on how to create an opportunity in order to complete the system task that she never even considered someone might be standing in some corner not too far away, listening in.

Even though she and Zhao-wang are not husband and wife as they have not consummated their marriage, Zhao-wang is still her husband nominally after all.

And she actually admitted her ambiguous romantic history with other men in front of him!

When coming face-to-face with the green hat1 that came to one’s door, I’m afraid no man would possibly take it lightly.

What’s more, Zhao-wang is not a broad-minded person.

He will definitely not forgive her for this!

Hua Manman felt so guilty, but she had to maintain her character on the surface, so she pretended to be in a daze as she asked:

“Wangye, weren’t you teaching martial arts to my younger brothers? Why have you come here all of a sudden?”

Li Ji looked at her with a half-smile as he sat in his wheelchair.

“I had Chen Wangbei stay behind to teach them instead.

Once I heard that you were here, I came to look for you. I didn’t expect to hear you talking about your past romantic endeavors.
It looks like I came at the perfect time.”

That last sentence of his was spoken with quite a lot of meaning.

Hua Manman really wanted to clutch her head and jump off from the top of this rockery.

Sure enough, he heard it all!

Even if she were to jump into the Yellow River now, she wouldn’t be able to wash herself clean!

Hua Manman could no longer pretend to be ignorant, and could only gather her courage and try to explain:

“Wangye, you misunderstood. I was just talking nonsense just now, I have nothing to do with Song Ding at all.”

At this moment, Hua Qingqing’s voice rang out from behind her:

“Were you talking nonsense just now?”

Hua Manman froze.

She really wished she could die on the spot!

Why did Hua Qingqing have to run down right at this moment?

How could she make it out of this in one piece?

The heavens must be trying to kill her!

Hua Qingqing quickly ran down the rest of the steps, holding the hem of her skirt in her hands, and asked again persistently:

“Was it really nonsense? Do you really have nothing to do with Song Ding?”

Li Ji looked at Hua Manman leisurely and said slowly:

“I also want to know whether what you said just now is true or not?”

Hua Manman was caught between a rock and a hard place. She almost broke character and was on the verge of collapsing on the spot.

Given the current situation, she was no longer able to consider having the best of both worlds.

She could only bite the bullet and say:

“What I said just now was the truth. Song Ding did express his affection for me, but I didn’t agree.”

Li Ji looked deep into her eyes and said leisurely: “But you didn’t reject him either.”

Hua Manman was stunned. H-how did he know?!

The surprise in Li Ji’s heart was no less than that of Hua Manman.

He originally thought that this woman had a few thoughts, but was overall very simple.

He didn’t expect that she was capable of actively seducing a man.

This woman is much more complicated than he expected.

Thinking that she wasn’t that much different from other women, Li Ji’s mood suddenly plummeted.

A sense of dullness came over him, and he felt like all of this was boring.

He was no longer in the mood to pursue this matter further, and instead turned to look at the flowers and plants beside him.

Hua Qingqing politely greeted Zhao-wang, then covered her red and swollen cheek with her silk handkerchief and left in a daze.

Green Hat = Chinese slang, to wear a green hat means that your significant other is cheating on you.
