Long Rui looked up at her and smiled, "Wife, why do I feel there's a sour tone in your voice?"
Xuexue turned her face away, "Stop being vain, who's jealous of you?"
Long Rui laughed joyfully, "I never said you were jealous, yet you admitted it so readily."
Xuexue glared at him angrily and asked, "What's going on with that childhood friend of yours, Little Sister Ling?"
Long Rui hugged her tightly; Xuexue struggled a bit but didn't break free, eventually settling obediently in his arms.
"Wife, don't overthink it. I only consider Lingling as a sister, there's absolutely no other intention."
"You don't, but she does! When you're not in the mansion, she comes looking for trouble."
"Impossible. Lingling has always been timid and afraid of trouble since childhood."
"How come the Prince doesn't believe me?" Xuexue looked at Long Rui angrily. Despite saying there was nothing between them, the moment she spoke, Long Rui reacted strongly, defending Gu Lingqiao.
