Lin Sisi's voice choked with emotion. "I don't want to go out looking like this, scaring people, or upsetting you."
"You won't..." Su Yingxue wished to reassure her but wasn't sure where to begin.
A woman's appearance was ultimately important.
But to Lin Sisi, Su Yingxue thought, "Even if you hide, the Ninth Prince will still cherish and adore you."
A glimmer appeared in Lin Sisi's eyes as her choked voice revealed a hint of relief. "Jinling is kind. He doesn't disdain me and has always been by my side."
"For his companionship, you should muster some courage. Do you want him to remain confined here forever, hiding in these bookshelves with you?" Su Yingxue sighed softly.
Lin Sisi bit her lip and shook her head. "I don't want that! Jinling is a prince. He can't stay here with me forever!"
