Chapter 78 Interrogation of Cheng Ying (2)
Cheng Ying lowered her head shyly and said softly, "Actually, there's nothing special about it. I just suddenly realized something."
He Mingxuan excitedly pressed, "How did you come to this conclusion? Tell us quickly!"
Shen Xiaoran couldn't wait to ask, "What happened later that made you change your mind?"
Qin Yaoyao was even more excited, clenching her fists in front of her chest and saying eagerly, "I want to hear the details, tell me quickly!"
Looking at the three people in front of her with bright, expectant eyes, Cheng Ying stopped being shy and began to openly recount her life journey.
She slowly said, "When I first met him, I mistook him for a frivolous and rude scoundrel. But later, I met him again in the palace and even got into a fight with him. However, after hearing his explanation, I realized that I had misunderstood him. Because of this, I felt very embarrassed and guilty, so I decided to become friends with him. As we got to know each other better, I gradually discovered that he was not the same as the rumors suggested."
"Rumors say she's a spoiled brat who only knows how to eat, drink, and have fun, but in my time with her, I've found she's actually quite intelligent. Although she enjoys eating, drinking, and having fun, she's not addicted to it. While she may be arrogant, she never uses her status to intimidate or bully others. On the contrary, she has her own ideas about many things and lofty ambitions. For example, she wants to join the army, even though she might not achieve great success, because she wants to try and make herself valuable. She enjoys her leisure time because her family protects her and doesn't require her to do anything, but she also wants to provide for her family."
"So that's why you like my brother?" He Mingxuan asked curiously.
Cheng Ying smiled slightly and replied softly, "No, actually at this moment I just admire him."
"And then what happened? What made you develop feelings for my brother?" He Mingxuan continued to press.
As Cheng Ying recalled the past, a hint of tenderness flashed in her eyes, and she slowly said, "Later, we went through many things together, and he always managed to protect me and care for me at crucial moments. His thoughtfulness and consideration gradually touched me, making me realize that my feelings for him had long surpassed simple admiration."
"Oh, I see!" He Mingxuan nodded in sudden realization.
"So that's why you helped your cousin get into the army?" Shen Xiaoran suddenly remembered something else and couldn't help but ask.
Cheng Ying smiled and explained, "Yes, I know your cousin has always wanted to join the army, and I hope to help him realize this dream. Moreover, I believe that with his ability and courage, he will definitely be able to make a difference in the military."
He Mingxuan felt deeply grateful to Cheng Ying after hearing this. She knew that without Cheng Ying's help, her cousin might not have been able to successfully enter the army. Now, seeing her cousin's increasingly good performance in the army, she felt extremely gratified.
Shen Xiaoran looked at Cheng Ying and Qin Yaoyao curiously and asked, "So, which of you two confessed your feelings first?" Her eyes sparkled with anticipation, as if she couldn't wait to know the answer.
Qin Yaoyao smiled and replied, "It must be the Fifth Prince. He took the initiative! Our Ying-jie is quite oblivious when it comes to this."
Upon hearing this, Cheng Ying couldn't help but chuckle softly, a hint of tenderness in her eyes. She glanced at Qin Yaoyao with amusement, then smiled and said, "Indeed, I might be a little slow when it comes to matters of the heart, but fortunately, the Fifth Prince has always been by my side, helping me understand the beauty of love." Her voice was filled with happiness and gratitude.
