"How troublesome …"
Sitting in his seat, sensing the gazes from all around him, as well as the hostility, Chen Heng could not help but frown.
Even though he did not know why, Olivia's actions had brought him much trouble.
Her actions not only did not leave him with a good impression of her, but it was also easy for bad rumors to spread, tarnishing Chen Heng's reputation.
As for letting his imagination run wild and thinking that she liked him, Chen Heng would not think about it and would rather avoid it.
Different to what ordinary people thought, to Chen Heng, having some sort of relationship with the Crown Princess was the biggest problem.
In this world, everything has a value. If you want something, you have to pay a certain price to exchange for it.
If Olivia had openly offered a price for Chen Heng to swear loyalty to her, Chen Heng might have considered it.
However, if he had a relationship with her, it would mean that he had joined her faction.
No matter what happened, when that time came, Olivia's enemies would unconsciously put Chen Heng in Olivia's faction.
This would be a passive choice, and it would be free.
Apart from having a relationship with Princess Olivia, he would not be able to obtain anything else.
Some people might be interested in this matter. After all, it was a rare experience to have something to do with a princess royal and have a romantic story with her.
However, Chen Heng was not interested at all.
People were just people.
From how Chen Heng saw it, putting aside all of her glory, the so-called Crown Princess was just an ordinary woman, and in some aspects, she was no different from a normal woman.
There was nothing strange about her.
Moreover, he was not the only one.
Given how pure her methods were, she had most likely seduced many people before.
If she treated him like this, wouldn't she treat others like this in the future?
Looking at the passionate and beautiful Olivia, Chen Heng's expression was calm as he inwardly shook his head.
After glancing at her, he looked away from her and did not look at her again. Instead, he continued to look to the side.
As time passed, the atmosphere of the banquet became more and more lively.
A group of dancers danced beautifully, adding to the atmosphere.
These dancers were all very beautiful. They all had exquisite features and tall figures. It was obvious that they had been specially selected.
The dancing dresses they wore were also very thin, and some of their private parts were faintly visible. As they continued to dance, they gave off a very unique feeling.
In the surroundings, many people were already staring at these dancers with their eyes wide open.
When the banquet reached its climax, the smell of alcohol permeated the entire hall. Someone let out a low laugh and casually hugged a dancer, pulling her into his embrace.
There were many people doing this, and Princess Olivia ignored them. She even smiled as she wore her dress and joined in the banquet.
Because of her identity, no one dared to treat her like a dancer, but there were many who danced with her.
However, while relaxing, Olivia turned some of her attention to Chen Heng.
In a corner, Chen Heng was sitting there by himself, and he was still sitting there with his back straight.
At this moment, under the dual effects of the wine and the environment, most of the others were already disheveled, but he was still sitting straight. His whole body sat there like a straight sword, appearing very eye-catching.
This was a stark contrast to the people around him.
Olivia could not help but feel quite surprised. Just as she was about to go up, she saw a small figure stealthily walking towards Chen Heng.
It was a young girl who was only 14 or 15 years old. She looked quite similar to Olivia, but they were also very different.
Looking at this girl, Olivia felt quite startled before inwardly shaking her head.
"S-Hello …"
Verna picked up her dress and walked over to Chen Heng before mustering up her courage and saying, "That's right.
"Do you still remember me?"
She mustered up her courage and looked at Chen Heng seriously.
"It's you?"
Looking at Verna, Chen Heng stared for a moment before coming back to his senses and giving a slight smile, "What are you doing here?
Is there a senior here as a guest? "
Chen Heng asked softly.
Verna stared for a moment before hurriedly nodding.
Standing there, she looked at Chen Heng, not knowing what to say.
Just like that, the situation became quite awkward.
Chen Heng smiled, "No matter what, take a seat first, or else you'll be too tired.
If you don't mind, you can sit here. "
Looking at Verna, his expression was quite gentle, and he looked like a courteous gentleman. His actions and actions made others feel good about him.
Compared to Verna, Chen Heng was much more talkative.
In actuality, he had always been like this; he was very good at talking and liked to communicate.
In just a short period of time, they began to talk about their own stories, seeming quite happy.
"My hometown is in the south. Every autumn, there will be purple flowers and a type of wild fruit."
Chen Heng smiled, "Next time, if I have the chance, I'll give you some."
Verna smiled and nodded.
"If it's possible, please give me your address."
Chen Heng's expression was as gentle as ever as he said softly, "Next time, when my father's carriages arrive, I'll have someone give it to you."
Verna hesitated for a moment.
Olivia did not say that she could not reveal her identity.
It was just that those around her who knew who she was would treat her differently. No matter who it was, they would treat her with respect and caution, just like how they treated Olivia.
Instinctively, she did not want Chen Heng to be like that.
As such, after hesitating for a moment, she said to Chen Heng, "I usually stay at big brother Kerry's place. If you want to find me, you just have to take the things there."
"I see …"
Chen Heng paused before smiling, "Alright."
Verna did not know that even though she thought that she had hidden it well, by now, Chen Heng had pretty much guessed her identity.
This was not something that was too difficult to guess.
Even though there were many nobles in the Kutu Royal City, there were not many top-tier nobles.
With Chen Heng's personality, he had long since investigated all of the people in the Kutu Royal City.
Within this group of people, there were not many who fit Verna's description, so it was quite easy to guess. It was just that he did not have enough information, so he could not immediately confirm it.
However, after what had happened today, as well as the information that Verna had unintentionally revealed, Chen Heng had pretty much guessed her true identity.
