Huang Xi encountered Ai Fen while seeing the King, Xiaoming, in the King's palace. He bowed to her and walked ahead when Ai Fen stopped him.
Huang Xi's steps came to a halt and he slowly turned to face her. "Yes, Your Highness?" He kept his tone formal and looked at her with inquisitiveness.
Ai Fen took a step toward him and said, "I did not want to turn Commander Huang Xi unhappy. Forgive me, if he got hurt by my words that day."
"I do not understand Her Highness," Huang Xi chuckled, "she was not either truthful to me. My equation with his elder sister was completely different from the feelings I carried for the Second Princess."
Ai Fen vividly remembered how Lóng Wei had told her that he would not say to Huang Xi the truth, then how he found out, she wondered.
