The moment Lin Sisi walked in, Su Yingxue rushed out.
Lin Sisi greeted her, but Su Yingxue ignored her.
Chu Jinling noticed Lin Sisi standing there in confusion and kindly stepped in to help smooth things over for Su Yingxue. "Miss Lin, Dr. Su had some urgent matters today, which is why she left in a hurry."
"I see!" Lin Sisi nodded. "I was wondering why she ignored me! Oh, Ninth Prince, what brings you here?"
As the daughter of a prominent military family, Lin Sisi had some knowledge of royalty. Compared to her scoundrel of a brother, Chu Xiuwen, and the haughty Chu Chengye, she found Chu Jinling, who seemed to idle around all day, more endearing.
Chu Jinling had a penchant for smiling, and when he did, it was like a breath of fresh air. "I own this bookstore. As the proprietor, it's only natural for me to visit regularly."
"Proprietor?" Lin Sisi's eyes revealed a hint of surprise. "I never expected you to own a bookstore!"
