"Sir, would you like a cup of tea?" Ruo Qiu asked as she forced a smile when the two came face to face with each other. She quickly looked away and muttered under her breath, "I'm afraid that your mouth might become drier than the Sahara Desert with your constant yapping."
The young man sipped from the cup.
"Anyway, I, the Prince of Yan, never apologises."
"It's the Prince of Yan." Ruo Qiu's mother gasped softly and quickly got up from her seat. Her sister followed suit.
Both women did a small curtsy and greeted the prince in unison. "Your Highness."
Seeing as how Ruo Qiu is still standing proud and tall, her mother nudged her from the back. Reluctantly, Ruo Qiu did a curtsy.
"Oh boy…I might be well versed in this trope but this is gonna be a tough nut to crack." Ruo Qiu thought.
"Prince of Yan." Chen Zheyuan cleared his throat and frowned at the prince.
"Forget this matter. We are here on an official duty to escort the general and his family into the Capital." He explained seated down and sipping tea from the cup.
Ruo Qiu looked at the two young men and couldn't help but sigh. Appearance wise, she prefers the second male lead. Personality and temperament wise, she also prefers the second male lead. If only the male lead and second male lead could just swap roles.
If you wish to change the male lead, you only need 1 million CP!
"1 million?! You might as well just tell me straight up that it is impossible to change!"
"The General is making his rounds at the gate. I will send someone to inform him." Ruo Qiu's mother spoke politely. Immediately, she gestured for the butler to send a message.
Then, she turned back to face the Prince of Yan and said politely. "The General won't be able to return immediately. Instead of waiting, if I may suggest, that the two gentlemen leave ahead first with my two daughters. The General and I will follow right after."
"That's right, that's right. I could see this coming from a mile away. The supporting characters are pushing for the main characters to get a chance to spend some time together, ain't it." Ruo Qiu nodded with a smug expression as she thought to herself.
"Well, I guess my second daughter fervently agrees."
"Wha-Wait. No? I mean, yes?"
"I'll go pack our baggage now, Mother."
"That settles it." Chen Zheyuan smiled.
