What did that mean? Everyone looked at the three of them curiously.

Didn't everyone know the bet between Princess Lin and Miss Liu? Since even Prince Lin's wife agreed to marry him, what reason did he have to oppose this? It was normal for men to have three wives and four concubines, let alone a good man like Nangong Lin who had power and influence.

"Big Brother Lin." Liu Zhixue screamed in panic. She had never thought that Nangong Lin would be unwilling to marry her. How was this possible?

"Little Lin Lin, you have no need to worry about my feelings." Yan Xiaoxi continued to play to the end.

"This prince promises that in this lifetime, the only mistress of the Prince Lin's estate will be Yan Xiaoxi. Do you want a concubine or not?" Nangong Lin's words resonated throughout the entire Cloud Lai Inn. Each and every word was heard by everyone.

This …

Prince Lin really cared deeply about Prince Lin's estate. Not only did he give away Liu Zhixue, who was such a peerless existence, he even doted on Princess Lin by herself. Just what kind of ability did this princess have? Even Prince Lin, whom they were so proud of, had been eaten up by him.

"Little Linlin." These words were not part of their plan. Yan Xiaoxi had not expected that Nangong Lin would actually give her a solemn promise in front of everyone's eyes.

She felt that meeting Nangong Lin was her life's greatest fortune. With his indulgence, his love and forbearance, she instantly became the happiest woman in the world.

Nangong Lin, how could she, Yan Xiaoxi, have been able to make you treat her in such a manner?

"Xi Er, this king will not marry Liu Zhixue." Nangong Lin repeated once again, expressing his decision.

Upon hearing this, the people in the inn immediately understood. The marriage had been arranged by Princess Lin, who was virtuous and magnanimous. She hadn't asked for Prince Lin's opinion on the matter; he was the only one who wanted to save her.

He did not love Miss Liu, but only Princess Lin. For Princess Lin's sake, he had actually hurt the childhood sweetheart of Miss Liu mercilessly. Think about it, Prince Lin from back then had doted on Miss Liu in such a way as well.

After all, Miss Liu was only a passerby in Prince Lin's life. Anyone present could tell that Prince Lin's heart had long since been completely occupied by Princess Lin. From the moment he entered the door, he had never taken his doting gaze from her, never even sparing her a glance.

Her love for Princess Lin definitely surpassed Liu Zhixue's love.

"Big Brother Lin, the wager that I made with little sister prince's concubine, she can't renege on it?" Liu Zhixue's eyes were filled with tears. Her eyes were filled with anger, unwillingness, and grievance as she gazed lovingly at Nangong Lin.

Looking at the pitiful Liu Zhixue, Nangong Lin's heart did not waver.

"Xi'er didn't go back on her words. This King wasn't willing to marry you." His words were light and carefree, but they were like a sharp knife that stabbed into Liu Zhixue's heart and caused her to bleed profusely. That kind of pain penetrated deep into her bones and left her speechless.

Haha, how laughable. She used all her effort and plotted everything, only waiting for This King to say that she wasn't willing to marry you.

At this moment, Liu Zhixue truly realized that Nangong Lin truly did not love her.

Once beautiful is a passing cloud dream, like a gorgeous fireworks, beautiful but short, dissipating with the wind.

She, Liu Zhixue, would rather destroy the thing that she could not get than let others be happy. There was still one last chip in her hand, and as long as she took it out, she believed that Brother Lin would definitely change his mind.

Even if she didn't have love, she would still stay by his side. If she didn't, she didn't know what she would crazily do.

"Sigh, Miss Liu is so pitiful. Father has committed evil and was abandoned by Prince Lin twice." The inn began a lively discussion.

"That's right, why is Prince Lin so heartless?"

"However, Princess Lin really didn't do anything wrong. She's magnanimous and honest. It's only right that Prince Lin dotes on her.

"That's the truth."

"I can only say that Miss Liu and Prince Lin are fated to be together." For a time, they were all pitying Liu Zhixue's words and praising Yan Xiaoxi.

Nangong Lin's cold gaze immediately quieted down the noisy inn.

"Let's go." Nangong Lin embraced Yan Xiaoxi's slender waist and led her out under the envious gaze of the crowd.

Liu Zhixue was frozen in place. At this moment, she was like an abandoned object, which nobody cared about. It was extremely tragic.

She clenched her fists, her long nails digging into her flesh, her eyes full of anger.

After pausing for a while, Liu Zhixue put on her disguise again and followed closely behind the two of them with a stiff smile on her face.

She, Liu Zhixue, would not give up so easily. She must become Nangong Lin's concubine.

Yun Lai Inn was already a crowded place. The matter of Liu Zhixue being abandoned by Prince Lin once again quickly spread through the streets and alleyways.

The commoners held different opinions towards Liu Zhixue. Some thought that she was very pitiful, but some thought that she was shameless and that she and Princess Lin loved each other as much as ever. Why did they need to interfere?

Prince Lin had even said that he wanted to be with Princess Lin for a lifetime and that they would be a pair. How could she not understand such an obvious piece of advice?

"Little Lin Lin, do you think that Liu Zhixue will leave Princess Lin in a fit of anger?" Yan Xiaoxi was lying in Nangong Lin's warm embrace, asking with her eyes closed.

"I won't." These words were said with absolute certainty by Nangong Lin.

If Liu Zhixue was so easily discouraged, then it would no longer be Liu Zhixue. Ever since she was young, he had known that Liu Zhixue was very stubborn.

He lowered his gaze, gently looking at Yan Xiaoxi in his arms. This woman, in order to solve this problem, she hadn't even slept enough. She actually ignored the gazes of the crowd and began to plead for a hug in public.

Thus, Nangong Lin would naturally not refuse a beauty that presented herself at his doorstep.

The entire Southern Water Kingdom knew that Prince Lin was about to pamper her to the heavens. They would rather offend a villain than Prince Lin. Otherwise, Prince Lin would fly into a rage.

Nangong Lin did not mind such rumors. Since he was able to pamper Yan Xiaoxi without damaging his dignity, why wouldn't he be willing to do so?

Seeing that Yan Xiaoxi did not respond, Nangong Lin was still worried about what had happened. Lowering his head to look, he saw that Yan Xiaoxi, who was curled up like a cat in his embrace, had actually fallen asleep. Her eyelashes were so long, and her skin was glossy and white.

When some commoners saw this scene, they couldn't help but feel that their Prince Lin's cultivation had truly gone berserk, and he was deeply entrapped within Princess Lin's charm.

After returning to the Lin King's Manor, Nangong Lin carried Yan Xiaoxi back to her room and placed her on the bed. He lovingly covered her with a blanket before leaving the room.

Liu Zhixue received countless gazes along the way, as well as various discussions. In this sort of situation, she still returned to the manor and acted as if nothing had happened. She continued to stay in peace, as if the bet had never happened.
