33 CHAPTER 33 : Friends, small & Mid- size garden gathering

Li Xi Rui could only stare at the man in front of her. They have just met a few days ago. Looking at that face, she remembered how he kept on touching her that day. She could just let him because she was too shocked with his action. How could she not? The so called cold face prince was touching her. Is he really that casual? Everytime he brushed his hand on hers, she had goosebumps.

"Well, well your prince is here. Go greet him", Xin Yin nudge her again.

Li Xi Rui grumbled mentally, 'He is not my prince!'.But seeing as they're currently partners, and Long Jie is helping her to save her family, she relented. "Long Jie, are you here to accompany little princess?", when had she talked like this to him? She had never used this friendly tone to him before.

"Yes, Yun-er missed you", he said without batting an eye lash.

'Jie gege is truly shameless!He is the one pestering me to come and see Jie Jie! Now he put everything on me', Lan Yun Yue could only glare at her cousin. She still remembered Jie gege said when Jie Jie get married, she will not be able to see her again. But if Jie Jie married him, she could see her Jie Jie all the time. With this in mind, she promised to help her gege.

Sitting down at the garden table, Long Jie occupied the seat beside Xi Rui and the little princess occupied the other side. Xin Yin happily looked at her friend's plight. 'Spring is here', she thought.

"Someone here is watching flower while someone else is doing the other's work", Rui Sheng appeared out of nowhere. Rui Sheng invited himself and sat beside Xin Yin as she look at the man who come from nowhere.

This is the first time Lu Xin Yin saw Rui Sheng. 'How could a man like this exist?!', she kept on staring with wide eyes. That long silky white hair blowing in the wind, with straight white eyebrows, the pale skin, truly looked like a deity. Li Xi Rui really wanted to wipe the imaginary drool from the corner of her friend's mouth.

"It's been hard on you Sheng. Let me offer you a cup of tea", Long Jie lifted the teapot in front of him and automatically, Rui Sheng put forward his own magical cup.

'But that is my tea', Xi Rui wanted to say. Why is this second prince always took her tea?, Li Xi Rui could only endure. If it was the old her, she would already snatched her teapot away!

Little princess Lan Yun Yue ignored the men and munched on the sweets in front of her. Xin Yin had been forgotten at the corner of the table. She herself didn't mind it since she is still staring at the deity-like man beside her. The originally a meeting between two misses is now become a mini garden party.

"Greetings your highness, Princess, young master Rui Sheng, Miss Li and Miss Lu. It seems so lively in here. I'd just come to meet my sister", this voice belongs to Bai Wu Chen. He had come to visit his sister, Bai QiQi. When they went to the garden to enjoy the weather, they are greeted with a lively scene.

"We are sorry if we interrupted the prince, princess, young master and the two misses. We will leave you to resume the gathering", Bai Qi Qi wanted to go away from these nobles. She knew the characters of these nobles but seeing them altogether like this overwhelmed her.

"QiQi, no need to be polite, come here. You too Wu Chen. There are still plenty of cakes and sweet", Li Xi Rui invited them to sit with her. She already asked Xiao Xi to brew a new pot of tea and fetch more sweets from the kitchen. She had always treated the two people like her friend. QiQi couldn't reject her benefactor's offer and helplessly sit beside the infatuated miss Lu Xin Yin. She understood what that miss is going through right now. After all, when she saw the young master Rui Sheng, she also behaved that way. Bai Wu Chen chose the seat beside his sister and the little princess.

The small garden gathering has now become a mid-size garden gathering. The group is harmoniously interacted with each other when a cough interrupted them.

*Cough* "It seems like this prince come at the right time", the uninvited guest said while holding his arms behind him.

'CROWN PRINCE?! WHAT IS HE DOING HERE?!' is what had been on their mind. This is Li residence! His ex-fiancée's home! The one place he shouldn't be coming casually is here.

"This prince had come to meet the left prime minister", he explained himself. He could feel all their gazes are on him. Even Lu Xin Yin had been awaken up from her stupor. The lively mood had dimmed a little after the arrival of the crown prince.He himself realized this

Meanwhile, the left prime minister had just arrived at the entrance of the garden when he is greeted with the scene in front of him, 'Since when had these group of people gathered in his house? Will this be a frequent thing?'. He is happy his daughter has made friends but couldn't she make some normal friends? What is this group of royalty doing in his house?!
