I am loyal to the maiden.

At dinner time, Bai Li Hongzhuang and Shangguan Yingying had their meal together.

Shangguan Yingying was extremely enthusiastic and seemed to have an instant connection with Bai Li Hongzhuang. She pulled Bai Li Hongzhuang aside and talked about various things. However, Bai Li Hongzhuang could sense that Yingying was still thinking about Wen Ziran.

From the subtle expressions, Bai Li Hongzhuang could tell that Yingying would occasionally glance outside, although her actions were small, they didn't escape Bai Li Hongzhuang's notice.

Bai Li Hongzhuang also looked towards the outside, wondering if Beichen and Ziran would come together during dinner. Naturally, she hoped that the disagreement between Yingying and Ziran would be resolved sooner.

Since Yingying arrived, she had been talking about various things regarding her childhood with Wen Ziran and Emperor Beichen. Although Yingying mainly spoke about Beichen, she couldn't help but mention Wen Ziran. From her expressions alone, Bai Li Hongzhuang could understand Yingying's feelings towards Wen Ziran.

However, Beichen hadn't come with Wen Ziran until now, which caused Bai Li Hongzhuang to furrow her eyebrows. She hadn't asked Yingying about the reason for their recent unpleasantness with Wen Ziran, but since Yingying had already come to Tian Gang Sect, Ziran should also come to see her.

After a while, two sets of footsteps could be heard outside the room. Upon hearing the sound, Shangguan Yingying's gaze changed slightly, but she forced herself not to look outside.

Wen Ziran followed behind Emperor Beichen and entered the room. After seeing Bai Li Hongzhuang, Beichen's lips curved into a gentle smile, and then he sat down next to Bai Li Hongzhuang.

Wen Ziran glanced at Emperor Beichen and then awkwardly sat down next to Shangguan Yingying. Witnessing this scene, Bai Li Hongzhuang couldn't help but find it amusing. Wen Ziran didn't resemble his previous carefree and sunny self. Now, he had such an expression when facing Yingying.

Shangguan Yingying also knew that Wen Ziran was sitting beside her but didn't say anything. She simply ate her food, focusing on herself.

The atmosphere became awkward for a while. Bai Li Hongzhuang glanced at Shangguan Yingying and then at Wen Ziran. Neither of them spoke.

Under the table, Beichen held Bai Li Hongzhuang's hand and smiled, "Don't mind them; it'll be fine soon."

Bai Li Hongzhuang didn't know how Beichen could determine all this, but she had always trusted his words.

At Beichen's signal, Bai Li Hongzhuang quickly finished her meal and then walked out with him.

After Shangguan Yingying saw that Bai Li Hongzhuang was preparing to leave, she wanted to say something but hesitated. However, after Beichen held Bai Li Hongzhuang's hand and left, she still didn't speak.

Beichen and Bai Li Hongzhuang returned to their room together. Bai Li Hongzhuang had a faint smile on her lips, believing that once Yingying and Ziran met, the problem would be resolved soon.

"You called Ziran over?" Bai Li Hongzhuang asked with a smile.

"He caused trouble himself, and if he doesn't deal with it, should I ask my wife to handle it for him?" Beichen replied.

Upon hearing this, Bai Li Hongzhuang couldn't help but laugh, "You're not ashamed to say such things."
