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

Chapter 238: Teasing

Li Jingyang immediately instructed the housekeeper to prepare hot water and bring over clean clothes for him to change into.

After the two had washed and cleaned themselves, they called Wanxia and Wanqi to serve the dishes.

Lin Rusi prepared all the meals herself, and Li Jingyang's eyes were full of anticipation.

Seeing this, Lin Rusi took the initiative to put a piece of sweet lotus root in Li Jingyang's bowl and said gently, "Want to try it?"

Under her gentle gaze, Li Jingyang did not refuse. His long, slender hand held the chopsticks with an air of nobility. The lotus root noodles melted in his mouth, soft, sweet, and fragrant.

His eyes lit up instantly.

"I didn't expect Sisi's cooking skills to be so good." Li Jingyang's voice was clear and pleasant, and his dark eyes were full of appreciation.

At the same time, he couldn't help but be shocked; he had never known that Lin Rusi had such skills.

"But Sisi, when did you learn such a good skill?"

Seeing Li Jingyang's puzzled expression, Lin Rusi subconsciously replied, "I've been learning since I was little."

For a moment, the man remained silent, his eyes filled with scrutiny. No one knew Lin Rusi better than him; when did she develop a liking for cooking?

He remembered clearly that Lin Rusi had always been pampered and would never cook, let alone have been in the kitchen since childhood.

When did the girl in front of me start to change? Probably when her engagement to Li Zeyan was called off.

It started when she began rejecting Li Zeyan and avoiding him in various ways.

Li Jingyang suddenly wanted to know what had happened back then that could have caused Lin Rusi to suddenly become like this.

Fearing an answer he didn't want to hear, Li Jingyang tentatively asked, "Sisi, why did you suddenly refuse the arranged marriage with Li Zeyan? I remember you two were engaged."

The man pursed his lips, his lip line tight, and looked expressionless.

However, his large hand was clenched into a fist at his side, so Lin Rusi didn't see it.

Seeing this, Lin Rusi swallowed a mouthful of food and then frowned slightly: "I just didn't like him, so I refused."

Upon hearing this, Li Jingyang was immediately taken aback, then a smile appeared on his face.

Lin Rusi happened to look up and meet his gaze, and was immediately drawn to his handsome smile.

Li Jingyang has always been aloof and quiet, so he rarely smiles.

Therefore, this smile is especially precious!

For a moment, Lin Rusi was stunned.

She pressed her red lips tightly together and unconsciously murmured, "Your Highness is so handsome. I never get tired of looking at you. I have never seen anyone more handsome than Your Highness."

"Hmm?" Li Jingyang raised his handsome eyebrows slightly, as if he hadn't expected Lin Rusi to say that.

Lin Rusi's gaze was undisguised, as if she wanted to devour the person.

"So Sisi likes me that much? Or is she just after my good looks?" Meeting her gaze, Li Jingyang feigned shyness and slightly covered his lips.

Lin Rusi finally came to her senses and was greatly surprised. She never expected Li Jingyang to say such a thing, and her eyes widened instantly.

"Your Highness, you..."

Seeing Lin Rusi's indescribable expression, Li Jingyang smiled gently.

"What's wrong? Sisi, won't you tell me?"

This was truly unlike Li Jingyang, leaving Lin Rusi momentarily at a loss for how to respond.

So they could only respond with silence.

However, this expression led Li Jingyang to misunderstand. He lowered his eyes and looked hurt.

Lin Rusi immediately glared at him: "Your Highness! Can't you be normal for once?"

Her eyes were clear, and her voice was unusually annoyed.

Li Jingyang slowly got up, walked to her, placed his hands on either side of her, and looked at her with tenderness in his eyes.

"Sisi, why won't you answer my question?"

Lin Rusi blushed instantly, immediately dodged, and pushed him away forcefully.

She had only one thought in her mind right now: danger!

This kind of Li Jingyang is far too dangerous.

Thinking this, she took a small step back, but what she didn't expect was that every time she took a step back, Li Jingyang would take a step closer.

Gradually, Lin Rusi could feel the man's breath on her face.

This made her even more aroused, and she quickly pushed the person away.

"Your Highness, we haven't eaten yet." Lin Rusi panicked, her voice trembling with nervousness.

Li Jingyang seemed to have seen something interesting and couldn't help but smile.

"Your Highness!" Seeing Li Jingyang advance instead of retreat, Lin Rusi suddenly stood up and ran quickly to the side, trying to avoid his approach.

The man wasn't in a hurry; he just followed along with a smile on his face.

He had never seen his little girl look so adorable.

On the other side, Lin Rusi seemed to have been hit where it hurt, and there was a hint of panic in her eyes.

She turned her head to the side and couldn't help but purse her lips: "If Your Highness wants to make a scene, could you at least wait until after dinner?"

Li Jingyang nodded and readily agreed, "Okay."

After saying that, he walked quickly towards Lin Rusi, took her wrist, and said softly, "Sisi, let's eat first."

As he spoke, a slightly teasing chuckle escaped his throat.

As if amused, he sat down opposite Lin Rusi, looking at her with a smile in his eyes, as if trying to see right through her.

Lin Rusi frowned, but ate quietly. Li Jingyang's gaze made her a little nervous.

After a busy day, Lin Rusi was really hungry, but she could only pretend to be calm and eat.

Soon, although the meal was extremely difficult to eat, it was eventually finished.

Looking at the somewhat chaotic state of the room, Lin Rusi glared at the man, then sighed helplessly.

"Your Highness, now things are really messed up. Soon everyone in the Prince's mansion will know." Lin Rusi sighed softly.

The man didn't say much, just smiled slightly, as if he was watching a good show.

"Wanxia and Wanqi, pack up the house." With that, Li Jingyang led the two away.

The two quickly returned to the inner room, and Li Jingyang became even more arrogant.

"Now that no one's around, is Sisi ready to cause trouble for me?"

Li Jingyang's eyes crinkled with laughter, his handsome face beaming with a broad smile.

This was the first time Lin Rusi had seen him smile so many times in one day. While she was surprised, she felt even more sweetness in her heart.

"Your Highness, Wanxia and the others are still outside," she reminded them softly.

But Li Jingyang didn't care at all. Instead, he reached out and put his arm around her waist, pulling her into his embrace. He said softly, "So what? Isn't this how husband and wife should act? Even the Shen sisters know this, so why don't they?"

Unexpectedly, Li Jingyang still remembered Shen Mengyi's words.

Lin Rusi looked even more helpless: "Your Highness, how do you still remember that sentence?"

She asked him helplessly, but to her surprise, the man not only didn't say anything, but instead kissed her directly.

Like a dragonfly skimming the water, it quickly disappeared again.

Before Lin Rusi could react, she suddenly felt a sharp pain in her lower abdomen, as if she had been hit.

Sensing something was wrong, her expression froze on her face; she knew all too well what that kind of pain felt like.

It wasn't a serious illness, nor was it too painful; it's just something girls experience every month.

Just then, a surge of heat from below made Lin Rusi tremble violently. She quickly got out of Mo Jingyang's arms and ran away.
