King's Regrets
The Eps 37

As long as crown prince Zhang was in Yu city, he went to Xia Lian An's cake shop almost every day, and it made the workers of Xia Lian An wonder about what the relationship between their master and crown prince Zhang was.

But, each of them asked Xiao Wei or Xiao Fen. They never get a definite answer.

Today when crown prince Zhang came to Xia Lian An's cake shop, he met a woman who could be said to be quite beautiful.

The woman was the daughter of the finance minister in Yu city.

When crown prince Zhang walked into the shop, apparently he had already charmed the daughter of the finance minister and fell in love with her.

The shopkeeper who knew the crown prince Zhang immediately took him upstairs, where he often sat and enjoyed his ordered cake.

"Who is that man, I've never seen him?" Ask the daughter of the finance minister to her friend who sits in front of her.

"I also just saw him for the first time, it seems like he's new to this town."

The daughter of the finance minister was very curious and interested in crown prince Zhang, she ventured to go meet crown prince Zhang upstairs.

"Who's that woman who went up to the second floor?" Whisper a servant to Xiao Fen.

Xiao Fen looked at the woman the shopkeeper was referring to, and then shook his head.

"Well, he walked over to miss Xia's guest." Said the waiter again who was still looking at the daughter of the finance minister.

"It looks like our missus got a love rival." Chirping Xiao Fen.

"Who's getting a love rival, Xiao Fen?"

Xiao Fen and the shopkeeper were startled and turned around, he saw Xia Lian An was already standing behind them.

"Ah no. Miss Xia. You've come." Xiao Fen.

"Yes. What were you talking about?"

Xiao Fen and the shopkeeper were silent, they did not dare to say anything in front of Xia Lian An about a woman approaching crown prince Zhang.

Since no one was willing to answer, Xia Lian An did not want to force them either. He then walked in and accidentally saw crown prince Zhang talking to a woman upstairs.

"It turns out you're talking about Mr. Jiang." Said Xia Lian An who was still looking towards crown prince Zhang.

"Ma. forgive us, miss." Said the shopkeeper in fear.

"It's okay, you guys get back to work."

"Well miss." Say both.

Xia Lian An walked into the kitchen, she did not care what crown prince Zhang and the unknown woman were talking about.

Meanwhile on the second floor, crown prince Zhang who was in the presence of a beautiful woman looked at him with a flat gaze.

He did not know the woman in front of him. Because he only knew Xia Lian An and his two loyal servants in Yu city.

"Greetings sir, I've only seen you for the first time. Are you new here, sir?" Said the finance minister's daughter gently to crown prince Zhang.

Crown Prince Zhang nodded "Yes, I am not from the Qin state."

"So you're from another country?"

"Yes." Yeah."

The daughter of the finance minister bravely sat on the seat that was in front of crown prince Zhang. And that made crown prince Zhang very uncomfortable.

"Did you come alone to this Qin state?"

"Are you close to me, so I have to answer your question, miss?"

"Ah, I am the daughter of the finance minister in this Yu city, if you need help, you can tell me. So don't be so stiff like that, sir."

Crown Prince Zhang simply nodded, he was too lazy to serve the woman in front of him.

"If you're in trouble, you can find me. My name is Fei Ling. The only daughter of the finance minister in this Yu city, in this city no one does not know me. So you can calm down."

The daughter of the finance minister instantly fell silent, she squeezed the handkerchief she was carrying. He felt that the man in front of him had already embarrassed him.

"You said you're here for your future wife?" Ask the finance minister's daughter awkwardly.

Crown Prince Zhang nodded. He looked the other way and saw that Xia Lian An was going up to the second floor while carrying orders for others.

Seeing Xia Lian An finish giving the order, crown prince Zhang waved his hand at Xia Lian An as the code called him to come to his desk.

Xia Lian An who saw crown prince Zhang calling her walked up to the table, then stood right in front of the table.

Crown Prince Zhang smiled at Xia Lian An, without saying anything crown prince Zhang stood up and put his arm around Xia Lian An's shoulder in front of the finance minister's daughter.

"Miss, this woman is the wife-to-be I said earlier. So sorry, like what I said to the lady too, if I'm not interested in anyone other than my future wife."

Xia Lian An rounded her eyes, she looked at crown prince Zhang questioningly. But crown prince Zhang just smiled getting that gaze from Xia Lian An.

The daughter of the finance minister stood up and looked at Xia Lian An in disbelief.

"Are you kidding, sir? She was just a woman who had nothing, even her family alone had no influence on this Qin state." Said the daughter of the finance minister arrogantly and looked at Xia Lian An with a disdainful look.

Crown Prince Zhang only smiled hearing the finance minister's daughter's remark, it was because he felt that he was looking at an arrogant foolish woman.

If only the woman knew that the woman she despised was the former consort of her country, she would definitely be embarrassed to not even dare to meet anyone else again.

"What are you laughing at, sir? I'm telling the truth. You must have been blind to like this woman who doesn't have anything." Said the finance minister's daughter again.

"I'm sorry, miss. But for me, this woman beside me is the most perfect woman, I do not need a woman who is influential or has a high rank. I also don't care if she's a rich woman or a simple woman. He liked me enough, and I liked him. All the wealth and power I have, I'll give it to him."

Xia Lian An's heart beat strongly hearing crown prince Zhang's words which were extremely shocking to her.

While the woman was irritated to hear the words from crown prince Zhang.

"You'll regret that you've humiliated me." Said the minister's daughter before leaving in annoyance.

Xia Lian An who was still embraced by crown prince Zhang fell silent, she did not know what to say after hearing crown prince Zhang's words earlier.

Crown Prince Zhang looked at Xia Lian An's slightly flushed face, he then released his embrace on Xia Lian An's shoulder.

"I'm sorry, I've been disrespectful. But. What I just said is the truth." Crown prince Zhang.

"Mr Jiang, didn't I say that I wouldn't open my heart before I avenged all my pain?"

"I know that, but I also don't want any woman to come near me and expect something I won't be able to do. So just by saying if you were my future wife, those women would stay away."

Xia Lian An sighed after hearing the explanation from crown prince Zhang. He really did not believe, if he would be made an excuse to reject the women who liked the crown prince of this Ming country.

"Alright, because the woman you want to drive out is gone. I have to go back, too." Xia Lian An.

"No, you should accompany me for tea here. You promised to be with me today."

"Mr Jiang, can you see down there? Today the store was very crowded, and I had to help the others. So I'll accompany you after helping them."

Crown Prince Zhang looked at the queue on the lower floor of the cake shop, and it was indeed very crowded.

"All right, I'll be waiting for you."

"Thank you for master Jiang's wisdom, then I'm back now."

Crown Prince Zhang nodded his head in agreement to Xia Lian An's words.

Xia Lian An then turned around and left the crown prince Zhang.

Crown Prince Zhang looked at Xia Lian An who kept walking away and down the stairs.

"Lian'er, when are you going to ask me for help to avenge all the pain you've ever felt?"
