Yuan Xins expression darkened slightly as she squeezed her hands. I may look ugly, but Im still able to tell if someone is capable.

Lu Liangwei realized that her offhand words had hurt Yuan Xin. She felt apologetic and when she looked at Yuan Xins unscarred right cheek, Lu Liangwei said sincerely, You dont look ugly at all, really! A persons true beauty is not based on how she looks, but who she is! A kind soul has much more value than a pretty face. You may think Im being contentious, but I still need to say this. You make people feel comfortable when they are around you and this has nothing to do with you being pretty or ugly.

Yuan Xins expression softened. She looked at Lu Liangwei with slight astonishment. To be honest, Ive had nothing but low self-esteem ever since my face was scarred. Ive always been hiding away in my own world and refusing to interact with others. I isolated myself more and more as time pa.s.sed, and even Prince Rui She paused and a bitter smile appeared on her face. Youre the only person in the past two years who isnt afraid of me, and is even willing to approach me.

Lu Liangwei saw the bitterness in Yuan Xins expression but did not ask further questions. She said in a self-deprecating manner, Im not a person who is easy to get along with and I sometimes have a temper. There arent many people whom I can get along with, but youre one of them.

What an honor! Yuan Xin raised an eyebrow as she replied in a casual tone. She paused and looked at Lu Liangweis pretty face. Weve known each other for almost two days and we stay under the same roof, but I dont even know your name. Thats not acceptable. My name is Yuan Xin. How about you?

Lu Liangwei repeated her name silently and said, Thats a nice name! She paused and said apologetically, Im really sorry, but I cant tell you my real name. You can call me Lu Er, though. She quickly added, Ill tell you my real name on the day I leave.

Yuan Xin did not mind that at all; she could understand that Lu Liangwei might have her reasons.

After all, Lu Liangwei was a lone woman wandering in a foreign country. It was only natural that she was being defensive.

If she chose to hide her real name, there must be a good reason for it.

It was not difficult to imagine that she could be a prominent figure who was trying to avoid trouble by hiding her name.

Its fine. You dont need to worry about it. A name is just a form of acknowledgment. Its not important whether your name is real. Its enough that I know the person in front of me is called Lu Er.

Thank you. Lu Liangwei nodded. She was happy to find out that Yuan Xin was wise and open-minded.

While they were chatting, an unexpected visitor arrived at the front hall of the Princes mansion.

Beitang Rui was aware that Wanyan Jin would be visiting the mansion today, but he was still slightly astonished when his servant announced Wanyan Jins arrival.

Wanyan Jin actually came here?

Beitang Rui suppressed the curiosity buzzing in his mind and went to the front hall with his servants.

By the time he arrived at the front hall, Wanyan Jin was already seated and having tea.

Wanyan Jin nodded in acknowledgment when Beitang Rui walked in. I hope you can forgive me for visiting without informing you sooner.

Beitang Rui was not offended.

Even though Wanyan Jin did not officially ascend to the throne in Danjue, everyone knew that he called all the shots in Danjue and it really did not matter whether the throne had his name on it. He may not call himself the Emperor, but he was just like an Emperor.

It was only normal that Wanyan Jin did not stand up in respect when he saw Beitang Rui.

Youre too kind, Prince Wanyan. Its my honor that youre able to make a trip to my mansion; why should you need to ask for my forgiveness? Beitang Rui sat at the main seat after saying this.

Wanyan Jin gave a polite smile but said nothing. His slender fingers toyed with the cup in his hand.
