Chapter 58: The Flies Around

Book:The Counterattack of the Princess Published:2024-6-2

Liang Yi is going boating on the lake, which is also a relief to his recent bad mood. However, he runs into Liang He.
After the last event, Liang Yi and Liang He are more antagonistic to each other, just like fire and water. They don’t even want to maintain their seemingly good relationship when they are alone. Although in others’ eyes, they are still close brothers.
Liang Yi intended to relax. Although Liang He was very uncomfortable to see Liang He, he had no plan to pick a quarrel with him.
However, just when Liang Yi is going to ask the boatman to avoid him, he happens to see the figure of a thin man.
At first, Liang Yi just feels he is familiar. Later, noticing that he and Liang He are very intimate and don’t mind being seen, Liang Yi remembers that he is the man he has once met.
Liang Yi keeps silent and observes them carefully. Then he finds that they are smiling and full of affection, which makes them look like a couple in love instead of just close friends.
Seeing this, Liang Yi feels something is wrong after he has been surprised. Liang Heming cares about Yan Ling very much. He even turns against him for the sake of that woman. But now, how could he get involved with a man behind her?
Liang Yi wonders if Liang He is just playing tricks with Yan Ling, trying to win over the power behind her. On second thoughts, however, Liang Yi denies this idea.
There is a saying, “The one who knows you better than yourself is your enemy.” Liang Yi is very clear about Liang He’s attitude towards Yan Ling. It is more than playing tricks.
Last time, Liang Yi had intended to investigate the identity of that man, but didn’t make it. In the following period of time, although Liang Yi paid attention to him, he never saw the man again, and he forgot him as time went by.
However, what Liang Yi didn’t expect was that he saw the man again by coincidence. Moreover, the relationship between the man and Liang He would never be as simple as they said.
It is precisely because of this that Liang Yi suddenly doubts the identity of that person. Since the first time they met, Liang Yi carefully has been observing him. Liang Yi always feels that the man is familiar, but he clearly remembers that he has never known such a person before.
This sounds contradictory and others who hear it may think it’s bullshit. However, Liang Yi knows clearly that this is the fact.
“Your Highness, shall we leave or stay?” Seeing Liang Yi doesn’t speak for a long while but stares dully at a single direction, the boatman asks strangely.
Of course the boatman knows that the Third Prince is staring at the Crown Prince’s ship. However, this is precisely what is strange.
Commonly, the Third Prince will either go there to say hello, or he will leave quietly. Why does he keep staring at the Crown Prince today?
As the Third Prince’s servant, he more or less knows about that Liang Yi has suffered a loss because of the Crown Prince, which makes the situation even stranger.
The boatman has thought for a long while before he asks the question. Normally, he cannot interfere with whatever the master wants to do. But, the Third Prince’s keeping staring at the Crown Prince’s boat makes him feel a little anxious.
They have been hostile to each other, and Liang Yi was punished by His Majesty not long ago, and it is normal for them to be angry and dissatisfied with each other. However, no matter what he thinks about, he can’t express it.
The boatman thought that his master wanted to do something to the Crown Prince’s boat and let him sink into the water.
The Crown Prince is proficient in martial arts and can swim, but there always are ways to frame him. He is worried that his master is planning this, so he can only say something to interrupt the Third Prince’s thinking.
When Liang Yi hears this, he smiles and says slowly, “don’t you see that Liang He is over there? As a younger brother, I would be scolded for lack of proprieties if I don’t say hello to him. ”
After saying this, Liang Yi asks the boatman to pull over regardless of the reactions of other people around him.
Liang He and Yan Ling did not notice Liang Yi on this side. However, when his boat is approaching, he is very noticeable.
Liang He takes a look over that direction and finds Liang Yi standing on the bow of the boat and smiling at him. He frowns and wonders why he is here.
“Why is he here?” What Liang He didn’t say is said by Yan Ling.
Obviously, Yan Ling also notices him. If one asks Yan Ling what mood she is in when she sees Liang Yi, she will answer without hesitation that it’s like flies around her that cannot be driven away. The flies would fly over her eyes from time to time, making her feel sick.
“I don’t know. It may be a coincidence.” Liang He frowns but he cannot be sure.
Because of what happened before, when Liang He sees Liang Yi’s boat approaching, he subconsciously guards Yan Ling behind him and quietly clenches her hand to make her feel more secure.
Yan Ling didn’t understand when she hid behind him, but looking at Liang He’s serious expression, she suddenly thinks of when Liang He broke into the door, and the situation becomes familiar to her.
“Don’t worry, I’m okay.” Yan Ling feels a fit of warmth in her heart. She raises her head and smiles at the man standing in front of her.
Looking at the fancy boat approaching, Yan Ling suddenly thinks of something and pulls her hand out of Liang He’s. Then, she takes a few steps aside and keeps the distance with Liang He.
Liang He frowns more tightly. Of course, he understands that why Yan Ling did so. But, he feels slightly unhappy at the bottom of his heart.
Liang He even subconsciously doubts that Yan Ling keeps a distance from him because she doesn’t want to be seen by Liang Yi and is unwilling to let him know their relationship. Furthermore, it is worth exploring why she doesn’t want to make their relationship known to the public.
Liang He and Yan Ling have completely different interpretations for a single action, which amounts to a difference between heaven and earth.
Yan Ling must feel helpless if she knows what Liang He is thinking about now. After all, Yan Ling is gradually used to the Crown Prince’s increasingly childish jealousy.
