I and my bestie dressed up as a rich man's wife and ran away with the ball

When the two kids were clamoring for Lu Xi to accompany them to buy toys, Lu Xi never thought that the two kids had other ideas.

She took Yuanyuan and Tangtang to the toy store. As soon as they entered, they saw two men standing opposite each other.

Lu Xi had been busy all day yesterday and was now afraid of the competition between the two men.

Seeing that both of them were holding a bouquet of roses, although she hadn't been allowed to choose yet, Lu Xi's head started to hurt.

Tangtang was very outgoing. She waved happily at Ye An and Zhu Yuan, "Uncle Zhu Yuan, Uncle Ye An, we are here."

It was over. Before Lu Xi could cover Tangtang's mouth, Ye An and Zhu Yuan had already looked over here.

"What a coincidence, you guys are here to buy toys too." Lu Xi laughed awkwardly.

Ye An and Zhu Yuan both looked puzzled, "Didn't you invite us here?"

Lu Xi was stunned for a moment, then looked at Tangtang. Sure enough, Tangtang had curled up into a ball and hid behind Yuanyuan.

"Confiscate this month's chocolates." Lu Xi said to Tangtang, then looked at the two men.

As she expected, both of them handed roses to her.

It's not suitable for either of us to hold the baby. If we hold them together, the baby will be too big and we can't hold them all.

"This flower is so beautiful." Lu Xi smiled awkwardly, "Is it for me? I came in a hurry and have nothing to give you, so I'll just give you this flower as a gift."

Having said that, Lu Xi pushed the flowers back.

Before the two men spoke, Lu Xi took Tangtang in one hand and Yuanyuan in the other and walked to the side to look at toys. The two children stood next to Lu Xi, leaving no room for the men to get close.

Zhu Yuan and Ye An were walking behind him, and seeing that Lu Xi ignored them, they started chatting.

"Mr. Zhu, you have a heavy responsibility. It's hard for you to take time out to come here every day." Ye An held a bouquet of flowers and glanced at Zhu Yuan indifferently.

"Mr. Ye has already found another love, why would he still take the time to look for his old lover?"

"I have never looked for another lover." Speaking of this, Ye An's eyes were cold, "From the beginning to the end, there was only Lu Xi."

"Really?" Zhu Yuan said calmly, "No matter what the motive is, at least the harm is real. Mr. Ye has become a symbol of the past in Lu Xi's eyes."

"The past can also become the future." Ye An did not give in. "Mr. Zhu, are you sure that Lu Xi is really suitable for the future you give her?"

Zhu Yuan narrowed his eyes and looked straight at Ye An. All his aura as a king was pressed towards Ye An.

Ye An was not afraid, and even added, "You know better than me that the environment can kill a person. Even if you are the ruler of a dynasty, you cannot change this."

Zhu Yuan subconsciously glanced at Lu Xi's back. She was holding a toy and talking to Tangtang. She had a smile on her face and shallow dimples. There was vitality and energy in her eyes that had touched him since the first time they met.

Even though he and Ye An were at odds, he had to admit that Ye An was right.

He should do his job well. Even if he could always protect Lu Xi, as long as he stood beside him, countless eyes and attention would fall on Lu Xi.

Those visible and invisible constraints will turn into a net, tightening him and the people around him little by little.

Zhu Yuan's eyes darkened, and he looked at Ye An, "Can you give her freedom?"

"I can." Ye An looked back at Zhu Yuan, with a firm look in his eyes. "She can do whatever she wants with me. After all, I am the most rebellious person in the eyes of the world. Who would focus their attention on her again?"

Zhu Yuan was silent.

He lowered his eyes and looked at the rose in his arms. He picked this flower from the palace garden. It was warm, bright, and breathtakingly beautiful. Every petal had a standard of beauty.

These flowers, carefully cultivated by gardeners, are beautiful and elegant, but they carry the discipline of the palace.

From the moment he became crown prince, he had become part of the dynasty.

He belongs to the people and to the royal family, but not to himself.

In fact, he envied Ye An very much.

The night Ye An turned back to climb the wall, Zhu Yuan actually also turned back.

The only difference is that Ye An climbed the wall while Zhu Yuan went through the main gate.

He stood at the door holding an umbrella, watching Ye An quickly climb over the balcony and knock on Lu Xi's window.

At that moment, he thought of himself many years ago.

At that time, he was not yet the crown prince, and was not subject to countless rules and etiquette, but he had also tried his best for the things he loved.

But now, he was wearing the crown, and the slight weight of one or two pounds pressing on his body felt like ten thousand pounds, making him dare not take a wrong step.

Lu Xi has been in Lingzhou for so long, and Zhu Yuan has been quietly guarding her because he is worried that he cannot give Lu Xi space and freedom.

But the more he suppressed this emotion, the more he resisted. After spending day after day with her, Zhu Yuan finally wanted to fight for himself.

What if the blooming roses could also bloom in the palace?

But at this moment, Ye An's straightforward words once again broke his concerns.

He stared straight at Ye An, "So what? The decision is in Lu Xi's hands."

"it is good."
