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

Chapter 37: Not a Good Person

Lin Rusi was stunned by Lin Ruqin's question.

"How could I possibly understand him?"

A flicker of panic crossed Lin Rusi's eyes, but she quickly regained her composure. "I heard some rumors, otherwise why would I be so determined to break off the engagement with him?"

She grasped Lin Ruqin's hand and said firmly, "Sister, Li Zeyan is really not a good person."

"Would you like to reconsider?"

Lin Ruqin curled her lips and pulled her hand away from Lin Rusi's.

"No need, what's there to consider?"

"Li Zeyan is actually quite good, I have no complaints about him."

"I accept my fate."

Lin Rusi sighed, unsure how to comfort Lin Ruqin.

The two of them remained silent and continued to drift on the lake for a while.

Lin Ruqin told the boatman to return, "I suddenly remembered that I have other things to do, so I won't stay here any longer."

After the boat docked, Lin Ruqin jumped out of bed.

As she brushed the dust off her clothes, she said, "If you want to continue shopping, you can."

"I'll go first."

Before Lin Rusi could disembark from the boat, Lin Ruqin left without looking back.

Lin Rusi looked at Lin Ruqin's retreating figure, wanting to say something but then stopping herself.

I've said everything I could, but she still won't listen. What can I do?

Lin Rusi wondered if she wanted to just watch Lin Ruqin jump into the abyss.

Lin Rusi got out of bed, looking somewhat sullen.

What should we do next? Are we really just going to stand by and watch?

Just as Lin Rusi was lost in thought, she caught a glimpse of a dark figure out of the corner of her eye.

Her heart skipped a beat; she had a bad feeling for no reason.

The next second, Li Zeyan's smug laughter came from beside him.

"Lin Rusi, Lin Rusi, I really didn't see that coming."

"You know me so well."

Lin Rusi's face turned deathly pale. She bit her lip and took two steps back.

She never expected Li Zeyan to be here!

When did he arrive?

Lin Rusi clenched her fists nervously, suppressing the panic in her eyes, and asked, "What do you want to do?"

"It's daytime now, and there are people around. If you dare to approach me, I'll call for help immediately!"

"Hmph, I don't mind letting others see the Third Prince's true colors!"

Li Zeyan not only didn't feel scared, but instead curled his lips into a smug smile.

He approached Lin Rusi with a half-smile, his eyes reflecting her fear.

"how?"

"So you're already unwilling to admit it?"

"Lin Rusi, I know you like me."

Lin Rusi seemed to have heard a joke, curled her lips, and sneered, "Li Zeyan, are you crazy?"

"How can you be so narcissistic? What do I like about you?"

Stop patting yourself on the back, and take a good look at your own capabilities!

Lin Rusi's words were quite blunt, showing no respect whatsoever to Li Zeyan.

However, Li Zeyan didn't care about saving face.

"It's okay, Lin Rusi. I know you like me, but you just don't want to admit it."

Li Zeyan's smile held a hint of something deeper.

He approached gradually, his eyes gleaming with lust.

Lin Rusi recalled Li Zeyan's actions in her previous life and the venereal disease he had contracted, and a wave of disgust washed over her.

"Don't come near me!"

Lin Rusi stared intently at Li Zeyan, her eyes filled with hatred for him.

"I feel disgusted just looking at you now, do you think I could ever like you?"

As she spoke, Lin Rusi frowned and turned her head to the side.

She kept gagging, and it looked really disgusting, Li Zeyan.

Li Zeyan stood frozen in place like a stone, especially after seeing Lin Rusi's disgusted expression; his heart felt as if it were being gripped by an invisible hand.

For a moment, even breathing became incredibly difficult for him.

"Lin Rusi, even if you really dislike this prince, you don't need to make such a disgusting face!"

Lin Rusi smiled and met his gaze without flinching.

Am I wrong?

"That's right, I don't like you at all, I feel disgusted just looking at you!"

Lin Rusi said bluntly, "Get out of my sight right now!"

Li Zeyan's face grew colder inch by inch.

His eyes turned bloodshot, and his gaze toward Lin Rusi held a chilling intensity.

"Lin Rusi, don't be ungrateful!"

Lin Rusi blinked, looking at him with a blank expression.

How am I ungrateful?

"It's your own fault for being useless, so stop slandering me."

As Lin Rusi spoke these words, disgust lingered between her brows.

Her expression and her words were like a dagger, piercing Li Zeyan's heart without mercy.

He was completely enraged by Lin Rusi.

"Lin Rusi, don't be ungrateful!"

Li Zeyan pounced on him fiercely, like a wild beast.

Lin Rusi's heart skipped a beat, and she quickly stepped back, afraid that Li Zeyan would bump into her.

Fortunately, she dodged in time, otherwise Li Zeyan would have really caught her.

Lin Rusi looked at the enraged Li Zeyan with disdain and uttered a sound of utter despair.

Li Zeyan didn't run into Lin Rusi; instead, she avoided him.

Li Zeyan's body, propelled by inertia, staggered forward two steps.

Lin Rusi sneered, curled one corner of her lips, and then kicked Li Zeyan hard in the butt.

Li Zeyan cried out in surprise, followed by a muffled thud.

Li Zeyan fell into the lake, waving his arms and shouting something.

"Hurry and save me!"

"Someone, please save me!"

Li Zeyan choked on some water, and his face turned deathly pale.

Lin Rusi's heart skipped a beat; she was somewhat surprised.

She thought Li Zeyan could swim, but it turned out to be all her imagination.

At the same time, Lin Ruqin walked to Hongzhi's side, who was standing behind the trees.

"Has the person been found?"

Lin Ruqin asked expressionlessly.

Hongzhi nodded vigorously, muttering under her breath, "Everything has been done according to Miss's instructions."

"Okay, now take me to see him."

She was looking forward to seeing what Li Jingyang's expression would be when he saw Lin Rusi and Li Zeyan pulling and tugging at each other.

It's going to be amazing.

Lin Ruqin couldn't wait to see the show.

Soon, led by Hongzhi, Lin Ruqin found Li Jingyang.

She quickened her pace, stepped forward, and bowed softly to Li Jingyang, "Your Highness."

Li Jingyang frowned, his gaze towards Lin Ruqin now carrying a deeper meaning and a hint of penetrating insight.

What are you doing?

"Bring me here."

Lin Ruqin's eyes darted around, her brows furrowed, and she feigned panic as she said, "Your Highness, I really have something urgent to discuss with you."

She knelt down with a thud, tears streaming down her face.

"Your Highness, please save my sister!"

"Besides Your Highness, I really don't know who else to ask for help."
