Chapter 58 - 55

The door to the shop opened revealing a familiar figure Yu Yingyi hasn't seen in a while.

"It's been a while, Prince Yingyi." Mei Xiang said quietly.

Yu Yingyi was shocked, how did she recognize her in the disguise? Wasn't the makeover Song Feng Mian gave her perfect?

"There's no need to be so surprised Prince Yingyi, as someone who deeply admires you, there's no way I'll be fooled by a disguise. I know what you're doing. You and the princess wanted to explore the city peacefully so you both decided to dress in a disguise, spectacular, I won't tell anyone. said, Mei Xiang.

Yu Yingyi was speechless, there were people in this world who could easily see through disguises of the people they admired or loved, it was the same situation with Song Liya, though it seems Mei Xiang still didn't fully understand the situation yet.

Yu Yingyi turned to Song Feng Mian and quietly whispered in her ear. "She still doesn't know yet, you do know what to do, correct?'

"You don't need to tell me, though it's kind of scary how easily she saw through the disguise." Song Feng Mian replied.

"I know," said Yu Yingyi as she turned to Mei Xiang, "Let me introduce you two to each other. As you already know, this is my wife, but in disguise. Wife, this is Mei Xiang, she's the owner of Merchant's River House, a restaurant I ate it when I was in the lower parts of the city."

"Ah, I see. Nice to meet you, Mei Xiang, I hope you didn't try to do anything to my husband," said Song Feng Mian with a tint of threat in her voice, she was perfectly acting out Song Liya's character.

Suddenly, Mei Xiang's character became small, she's heard countless stories of the princess that no one dared to go against. Right now, she was experiencing one of the moments.

"N-no, I wouldn't dare to try to do anything. After all, that's the princess's consort," said Mei Xiang.

"That's what I like to hear, if you had dared to try something, there would've been a problem between you and me," said Song Feng Mian.

Yu Yingyi lightly slapped Song Feng Mian's arm, "Don't be like that, you should learn how to not scare people when they've done nothing wrong."

"Hmph, I'm just making sure my property stays my property, no one else can have you," said Song Feng Mian, her heart racing as she spoke those words.

Yu Yingyi once again was impressed at Song Feng Mian's impersonation of Song Liya, they were truly talented twins. If only the words directly came out of Song Liya's mouth, her heart might've leaped from her chest, but it wasn't.

"Thank you, though you already know I'll always be with you. Let me speak with Mei Xiang for a moment, I'd like to catch up with her," said Yu Yingyi.

"Fine, but you both better not do any funny business when I'm gone." Song Feng Mian warned.

"You don't need to worry so much Liya, I only love you and only you." Yu Yingyi reassured.

"Good."

With that said, Song Feng Mian started heading towards the other parts of the store to let Yu Yingyi speak with Mei Xiang.

"Prince Yingyi, I don't think you know how scary the princess is when she's mad," said Mei Xiang.

"What're you talking about? I've seen her mad plenty of times before." Yu Yingyi replied.

"Ha! I doubt it considering you're the princess's consort. Just looking at her in the eyes sends chills down my spine, I'd rather keep my head down." said Mei Xiang.

Yu Yingyi looked at Mei Xiang hopelessly, there were plenty of times where she's seen Song Liya mad. Just like right now, directing over Mei Xiang's shoulder, Song Liya's hidden figure could be seen slightly. There was a dark aura radiating from her.

Well, it wasn't like there was anything she could say to convince Mei Xiang so she decided to change the topic.

"So, how has business with the restaurant been? There must be more people visiting after all this time cause there's no way I'm still the only customer who's visited," said Yu Yingyi with worry in her tone.

Mei Xiang gasped, "Of course not, I've gotten plenty of customers. In fact, a lot of shops started to gain attention because you visited the lower parts, mines too. So again, thank you for visiting the lower parts." said Mei Xiang, grateful.

"No worries I had a lot of fun down in the city there too, Anyways, I have a question for you," said Yu Yingyi.

"What is it?" asked Mei Xiang.

"Why're you all the way in the main part of the city? I didn't expect you to be here since this area is usually filled with robles and royalty instead," said Yu Yingyi.

"Ah, I forgot you didn't know, but the owner of the store is actually my uncle. He's the brother of my father's wife, I often come here to visit him whenever I have time."

"Ha?! Wang Shu, the professional architect who's designed countless buildings is your uncle?!"

"Yep, though he hasn't done any designing in a long time because he's getting old, though he has people doing the work for him. Overall, their work isn't as good as the original work."

"Well, that's of course! Wang Shu is one of the best designers in the world, he still is. I bet even at his age, he still designs better than anyone you can name."

"You say that with a lot of confidence, though I don't disagree. Are you perhaps one of my uncle's admirers?"

"Nope, I am not like you, not in the slightest way. I am someone who took a liking to his designs because I'm interested in the same thing as him."

"I see, I was about to say something if you really were his admirer, that would be incredibly weird."

"How could I possibly be his admirer anyways? I don't even know how he's like as a person, I've only seen his works."

"I guess that's true. Hey, how about I pay you back for everything you've done for me and everyone in the lower communities?"

Yu Yingyi was confused. "How are you going to do that?"

"I'll tell my uncle to design something personally for you, none of his workers will ever touch it."

Yu Yingyi looked at Mei Xiang in disbelief, in the corner of her vision, she can see Song Liya blazing with anger and jealousy.
