However, there was a difference between men and women.
If he were to save Shu Xi, he may just as well have taken the girl's innocence and been forced to marry her.
Ming Chen was really placed in a difficult situation.
He glanced at the female companion beside him in embarrassment, but only saw a grim face full of displeasure on Xue Lu's face.
"Your Royal Highness, you don't need to look at me; I can't swim!"
Xue Lu's voice was very cold.
She could clearly assess the situation and know that there was no other way than to have Ming Chen go down there to save the drowning girl.
Xue Lu would not want to get herself dirty and embarrassed just for the daughter of the Minister of War, who was pathetically drowning in the lake.
If the chances of being with the Crown Prince were reduced to zero, they might as well be reduced to zero.
She was never attracted to Ming Chen in the first place.
