Back to the moment, after QingQing took XiaoRue out from the dinner room.

"Ms QingQing....Why did you refuse Prince Li's offer? Isn't it not polite toward Prince Li?" XiaoRue is still unbelieved for what QingQing did. As a commoner, usually its a quite honor to be invited in a dinner with a prince.

"I just don't want to brother them..."

QingQing walks a little rush and doesn't pay attention to her front as she is busy replying XiaoRue.

*Bukk* And that's why she ends by b.u.mping someone's back.

"Auchh...Heyy, watch your step!!!"

At first QingQing want to angry but she cancels to be upset after knowing who b.u.mps her. It is ManQi who waits for Prince Li finis.h.i.+ng the dinner.

"Aahh, handsome guy.. I am so glad that we meet again...Now as I also stay here...why don't let we know each other closer?"

Suddenly QingQing tries to gesture her attraction by standing closer in front of ManQi, and XiaoRue feels irritated to see them so close. ManQi raises his hands to hold QingQing's shoulders and...

"My name is ManQi...not 'handsome guy', please don't miscall me, Ms QingQing!"

ManQi pushes QingQing away to clear his way and then he looks to XiaoRue who seems unpleased, it worries ManQi

"What's wrong, XiaoRue? You looks upset? Is something happen in dinner room?"

XiaoRue still feels upset, that's why she just answers shortly,

"Nothing." She walks away and directs to QingQing, pulls her arm so hard and walk away,

"Come Ms QingQing...don't you want to eat...lets go!"

"What!...Akh...bye handsome...we talk later okkk..." QingQing is in surprise that XiaoRue need to pull her so strongly till she doesn't have time to fight back.

ManQi just stands looking to them oddly.

In his mind, he is giving a common statement, 'women, I never understand them...' and then he just walks direct to the study room as Prince Li had instructed him before.

In other room, where XiaoRue serves plates and food for QingQing to eat, with her unpleased face. Although she tries so hard to hide it but QingQing can see and guess it easily,

"Ah....I think XiaoRue...you are also interesting on my handsome guy?..." QingQing points it out, and it makes XiaoRue startles...

"What...what are you talking, Ms QingQing...No...I am not..." She sudden becomes stutter.

"Ah, cut the c.r.a.p, XiaoRue... its okay to have that feeling!...he IS handsome anyway and I am okay with a little rivalry...It makes me more excited to get him, you know..."

XiaoRue wrinkles her forehead, she really doesn't get what is in QingQing's mind, she seems enjoying the situation. She signs, 'Maybe I can't compete with this woman...she looks so confident...waittt, why I should compete with her? I don't need to compete...coz I don't like...I mean...he is nice... and brave...but...'

"XiaoRue!! What are you waiting for...let's eat...don't just staring at there..."

A loud voice of QingQing wakes her up from her confusing thought. But she doesn't comfort eating with QingQing

"I am not hungry Ms QingQing...."

At the same moment, A loud noise comes from XiaoRue's stomach...it's embarra.s.sing her and makes QingQing chuckles. She smiles to XiaoRue,

"See....your stomach is more honest than you...come on, let's just eat...I hate to eat alone. And please don't call me miss again...just QingQing..."

XiaoRue gives up, its hard to refuse a warm friendly treat from QingQing. She sits and starts enjoying the food with QingQing.
