Princess is Glamorous in Modern Day

Lu Li's thoughts were very simple. She felt that Xia Wanyuan and Xuan Sheng treated her very well, and she wanted to treat them well too. Since Xuan Sheng did not like porridge, she could help him buy something else.

Facing Lu Li's clear eyes, Xuan Sheng felt a little helpless. "I don't need you to buy it for me, and you don't have to pity me. I don't need it."

"I don't pity you." Lu Li subconsciously stirred her two index fingers in front of her. "I just think you'll feel uncomfortable if you drink too much."

"You don't have to care if I feel uncomfortable. Besides." Xuan Sheng was halfway through his sentence when he suddenly leaned close to Lu Li. The fragrance on his body enveloped Lu Li, and her almond-shaped eyes widened in shock.

Xuan Sheng smiled, his beautiful eyes shining. "You care so much about me and like me?"

Lu Li was stunned by Xuan Sheng's smile and subconsciously nodded. When she reacted, she hurriedly shook her head. However, she could not hide the blush on her face.

Looking at Lu Li's inexperienced appearance, a smile flashed across Xuan Sheng's eyes. He straightened his body. "Come in. I have something to tell you."

Lu Li hesitated for a long time before following Xuan Sheng into the room.

She believed in Sister Xia. She felt that anyone who could make friends with Xia Wanyuan was a good person.

Xuan Sheng's room looked a little messy. There was a pile of wine bottles on the table.

Xuan Sheng tugged at his tie and casually threw it aside. His exposed collarbone shone white under the light. Lu Li turned her head away in embarrassment.

"Do you drink, little girl?" Xuan Sheng took two glasses, poured a glass of red wine, and handed it to Lu Li.

"No." Lu Li waved her hand. She had never drunk since she was young.

"Alright." Xuan Sheng did not force her. He poured himself a glass and drank it like water.

He poured himself another glass, then leaned back on the sofa. "I know why you like me."

Lu Li was subconsciously a little shy when her most secretive thoughts were exposed so bluntly. The light in the house was very dim, but it could be seen that she was blushing frighteningly.

A smile appeared in Xuan Sheng's eyes. "Do you know why Xia Wanyuan chose you as her manager?"

Lu Li was stunned. "Because she's a good person. She saw that I didn't have a job."

Xuan Sheng took a sip of red wine, his eyes sparkling. "You're half right. The other half is because you're very likable. You're very clean, the kind of clean that doesn't stain anything in the secular world. Looking at you makes one feel good."

Lu Li felt her entire body heat up from Xuan Sheng's words. "I didn't."

Xuan Sheng's gaze landed on Lu Li. "Your world is innocent and pure. You're pure white, while I'm strong black. It's too normal for you to be attracted to me."

Lu Li felt that there was something wrong with Xuan Sheng's tone. She looked up and saw Xuan Sheng looking down, looking very lonely. "CEO Xuan."

"Mm." Xuan Sheng smiled. The corners of his lips were clearly curled up, but in Lu Li's eyes, Xuan Sheng was very sad. "Little girl, you can tell, right? I like Xia Wanyuan, just like how I attract you. Someone like Xia Wanyuan attracts me strongly, but look, will we have an outcome? No, because we're not on the same path."

Lu Li was confused, but it did not stop her from feeling the intense sorrow in Xuan Sheng. She felt her heart ache and subconsciously apologized, "I'm sorry."

"What's there to apologize for?" Perhaps it was because Lu Li was too clean, so clean that Xuan Sheng could not help but say a few more words to her. "Go back, little girl. Follow your Sister Xia and see more of the world. You will realize that there are many people who are on the same path as you in this world, and they are the ones who can travel with you."

As a young lady, she would always be blinded by the outer appearance when she was young and mistakenly think that she was attracted to him. As time passed, she would always realize that at that time, being attracted was not worth mentioning.

Lu Li did not know what to say and could only stand up and walk out. Someone suddenly set off a firework outside the hotel, and Lu Li subconsciously turned around.

The fireworks outside the window were brilliant. Xuan Sheng also turned to look at the fireworks. His exquisite eyebrows were clearly extinguished by the light of the fireworks.

Fireworks fell in the blink of an eye. Lu Li thought of a sentence. He's more lonely than fireworks.

Lu Li bit her lip, then pushed open the door and left the room.

The door closed. Xuan Sheng turned around and drank the red wine in his glass. He shook his head. "Little girl."

Lu Li returned to the next room and the fireworks began outside the window again. This was the first time Lu Li, who had always slept well, could not sleep.

After the fireworks dissipated, she called her grandparents. She knew that in order to answer her call, her grandmother would always put her phone by her pillow when she slept at night.

Although it was already late at night, the call was picked up after two rings.

"Good granddaughter, why aren't you asleep yet?"

Hearing Grandma's voice, Lu Li's thoughts seemed to calm down a little. She nestled in the warm blanket. "Grandma, I want to ask you a question."

"Tell me, what's wrong?" Lu Li's grandmother had never gone to school, but she had learned all her life philosophy from her grandmother.

"Grandma, what if I fall in love with a boy and he says that he's not the same as me? He seems to have already experienced a lot." Lu Li did not know what Xuan Sheng had experienced, but she could feel the desolation emanating from Xuan Sheng, making her heart turn cold.

"Good granddaughter, how old are you this year? Isn't it just liking a boy? This is a small matter." Grandma's teeth were a little exposed. She chuckled. "If you like him, go and fight for him. Time will tell you the answer. But you have to remember not to disturb others' lives."

Grandma was almost 70 years old. She had experienced too much in the long river of time. In front of time, all questions could be answered.

"Mm! Okay, Grandma." Lu Li nodded.

"What kind of boy is he?" Grandma asked curiously. "Can you let Grandpa and Grandma take a look at him too? My good granddaughter has grown up."

"Grandma! You're laughing at me again." Thinking of Xuan Sheng's bright eyes when he approached her, Lu Li quietly blushed. "Grandma, sleep early. I want to sleep too."

"Okay, be careful not to kick the blanket. Be careful not to catch a cold." Grandma patiently instructed for a long time before hanging up the phone.

Lu Li crawled out of the blanket and secretly smiled when she thought of Xuan Sheng.

It didn't matter if Xuan Sheng didn't like me! It didn't stop me from being good to him!
