After being reborn, he was doted on by his scumbag brother.

"You are right. If I hadn't survived, I wouldn't exist in this world, and you wouldn't have been able to see me."

After hearing this, Ye Hengjing felt somewhat fortunate, "Then I really have to thank God for blessing you to grow up well and for me to get to know you."

Li Yaxuan was stunned when she heard this. She didn't expect Ye Hengjing to say such a thing.

"I'm nothing special. There are so many people in this world, one more or one less won't make a difference."

Ye Hengjing disagreed and said, "You are wrong to say that. Everyone in this world is special. Even twins cannot be exactly the same, let alone other people."

Li Yaxuan smiled when she heard that. "You are really good at talking. When you say that, I feel like I have become special. In recent years, my mother has not allowed me to go out because she is worried about my health, and I rarely communicate with others. As time goes by, I can clearly feel that I am very timid and I don't dare to speak much. If my cousin hadn't helped me persuade my mother to take me out, I am afraid that I would still be able to complain to myself in the yard."

Ye Hengjing comforted him, "Be more confident. From the two times I've met you, I think you have many good qualities. You are straightforward, sincere, and brave enough to rush forward for the people you care about even when you are afraid. These things really impressed me."

Ye Hengjing's praise made Li Yaxuan feel a little embarrassed and her face turned slightly red.

This was the first time someone praised her like this and discovered so many of her strengths that she herself was not even aware of.

"How can I be as powerful as you say? I feel embarrassed when you say that."

Ye Hengjing smiled upon hearing this and encouraged him, "You actually have many good qualities, but they have not been discovered yet. You have to believe in yourself. It is not easy for you to survive and see this beautiful world, so you must cherish it."

Li Yaxuan was a little surprised after hearing this, "You are so unhappy, but you still think this world is beautiful?"

Ye Hengjing nodded upon hearing this, "Of course, there is no conflict. This world itself is very beautiful, and my unhappy life does not affect its beauty. In fact, I have always longed to go out and see the scenery I have never seen, but unfortunately I am trapped by this identity, and I don't know if I can fulfill my wish."

Upon hearing this, Li Yaxuan imitated Ye Hengjing's previous behavior and encouraged him, "It will definitely work. As long as you keep believing, your wish will come true one day."

Ye Hengjing smiled when he heard this, "You are right, I will definitely do it. I will borrow your good words then."

Li Yaxuan smiled and nodded, suddenly thinking of something.

"Ah, aren't we talking about you? Why have I talked about so much of my own business? Let's get back to the point. So this time you have this opportunity to escape temporarily, even if you are reluctant in your heart, why did you finally come?"

Ye Hengjing twitched his lips when he heard this. "This is only a small part of the reason. It is true that I can get some fresh air, but the most important thing is to reassure my elder brother. Our country does not allow people from other countries to be queens. In order to make my elder brother believe that I will not compete with him for the throne, marriage is the best way. If I marry the princess of the Great Qi Kingdom, it is naturally impossible for me to divorce her. That will cut off this way out, and my elder brother will always believe me."

Ye Hengjing's words surprised Li Yaxuan. "He has treated you like this, and you still want to mend your relationship with him? Is it really worth sacrificing your own happiness just to make him worry-free?"

Ye Hengjing chuckled upon hearing this, "It's worth it. I can actually understand my eldest brother's concerns, and I know that he is not targeting me. He actually still cares about me as his younger brother. It's just that this road to the throne is destined to be full of thorns, and he has to be more cautious, so no one dares to trust it except himself. As long as he sees my sincerity, I believe we can still go back to the way we were before."

Li Yaxuan sighed when she heard this. She didn't expect that although Ye Hengjing looked a little unkind, he was actually very soft-hearted.

Even though his family was not that good to him, in his heart, they were still very important to him. They were his weakness and his armor.

But who would care about the grievances and sufferings he had to endure because of this?

"Your idea is not wrong, but don't you think your idea is too unimportant? You shouldn't let yourself suffer such a great injustice because of this. At least you shouldn't sacrifice your happiness in the second half of your life for this."

Unexpectedly, Ye Hengjing did not refute, but nodded in agreement.

"You're right. Fortunately, my thoughts have changed. This time, I want to really work hard for myself and find the person I really want to spend my life with. I want to find that person now and take her to see the place where I grew up. After my eldest brother succeeds to the throne and everything is stable, I can take my lover to see the outside world. This is enough for me."

Li Yaxuan smiled unconsciously as she listened to Ye Hengjing's description.

"It all sounds so wonderful, I wish you success in finding that person."

Ye Hengjing nodded and said with a smile, "Thank you very much, Miss Li."

Li Yaxuan smiled indifferently, "Second Prince is too polite, this is all right. Look, you were just busy talking and didn't even touch a single bite of the dishes. The chef at Tianxianglou is famous for his excellent cooking skills, Second Prince, please try some."

Ye Hengjing chuckled when he heard that. "Okay, now that you mention it, I'm really a little hungry. But I've never seen these dishes before. Are they all specialties here?"

Li Yaxuan looked at it for a long while, also looking embarrassed.

"You also know that I don't go out very often, and this is my first time coming to Tianxianglou. It is said that the dishes at Tianxianglou are very special and not available in other restaurants. I saw it today and it is indeed true. To be honest, these dishes look unfamiliar to me, and they must not be ordinary dishes."

After Li Yaxuan said this, Ye Hengjing became even more curious and couldn't wait to try it.

"Since we can't come to any conclusion through discussion, let's just taste it."

Li Yaxuan nodded when she heard that. The two of them took a tentative bite and saw looks of surprise on each other's faces.

"It tastes great. Even though I'm used to eating delicacies from land and sea, I still think this dish is more special. What do you think?"

Li Yaxuan nodded frequently after hearing this. "You're right. The taste is sour and sweet, very special. It seems that there is a reason why the chef here is praised by so many people. I thought he was just being praised before."

In the following time, the two tried other dishes one by one, and each one made them praise it highly.
