Chapter 60: Falling into Water

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

“You must be joking, my brother. I’m on your boat, and is there any possibility that you will throw me down?” Liang Yi resists the anger in his heart and manages to keep smiling.
Yan Ling doesn’t know what Liang He means, which angers Liang Yi so much.
But Yan Ling can clearly feel the anger in Liang Yi’s heart. She notices that his fingers folding his fan are a little white: he must be holding the fan so hard.
“Maybe. If you don’t believe it, I can show it to you now.” Liang He narrows his eyes as if he were threatening, which makes people feel creepy.
It ssems that Liang Yi doesn’t feel it at all and unfolds his folding fan suddenly. It is clear that a breeze is blowing, but he still shakes his fan in a pretentious way with a provocative smile on his face.
“Of course I won’t believe it, brother. I didn’t make any mistakes. How could you throw me into the lake for no reason?” Liang Yi seems sure that Liang He could not really do that to him.
Liang He’s face has been gloomy for a long time, and now it’s getting worse. He is about to move forward, but Yan Ling pulls his sleeve gently from behind.
Yan Ling sees very clearly that Liang Yi is intentionally annoying Liang He now and tries to seduce Liang He to hit him. The purpose of his doing this can be explained later. But if Liang He really hurts him, many people will get the news immediately.
Such is a simple and childish provocative method. Now that Yan Ling can see it, how can Liang He not? However, knowing that this is a trap, he may still jump into it. Liang He is in such a state of mind now.
Although Liang He understands that Liang Yi has no good intentions, his intuition tells him that Liang Yi’s target is not him, but Yan Ling who stands beside him.
Liang He has been thinking that way since the moment Liang Yi got on the boat. Then, when Liang Yi asked Yan Ling’s name again, Liang He became a male lion guarding its own territory, but he managed to suppress it.
Although Liang Yi has been talking with Liang He since then, it can be clearly seen from the perspective where Liang He stands. Liang Yi’s eyes have been following Yan Ling, and there is still a playful smile in his eyes.
With such a hostile eyesight following his beloved woman, calm as Liang He is, he could not bear it. If it weren’t for Yan Ling’s prevention, Liang He would really beat Liang Yi here.
Because Liang He blocks his view, Liang Yi did not see Yan Ling’s action, but he could guess what happened. Then the smile on his face is even bigger.
“I haven’t seen you for a long time, my brother. I suppose you wouldn’t refuse if I want to be close to you. I’m just afraid that I would bother your interest of boating?” Liang Yi smiles without any disguise, which makes them want to beat him.
“What if I say that you do interrupt us?” Liang He was on impulse, and now he calms down after he was stopped by Yan Ling. Although his tone is still bad, he can hold back his anger.
“He is just joking, Your Highness. Please don’t mind. You know that His Highness likes joking.” Yan Ling smiles and mediates between them.
Of course, Yan Ling isn’t interested in alleviating the conflict between the two brothers. She says this only because she doesn’t want them to fight here. In addition, Liang Yi seems to be doubtful about the relationship between them.
Liang He and Yan Ling ignored others while they walked in the street hand in hand all the way. However, Liang Yi cannot see them like that.
If Liang Yi can’t find out Yun Shen’s identity, coupled with the excessive intimacy between Yun Shen and Liang He, it’s not hard for Liang Yi to guess who Yun Shen is.
Although, to some extent, Yan Ling is not afraid that her identity will be revealed, she still feels troublesome if her identity is known by such a person as Liang Yi.
Moreover, even if everyone knows that the Crown Prince and the oldest daughter of the prime minister are deeply attached to each other, Yan Ling, after all, is still a virgin girl. The royal family will definitely say no to their marriage if they know she dressed like a man and behaved intimately with the Crown Prince in public.
After hearing Yan Ling’s words, Liang Yi doesn’t speak any more, but the smiling eyes keep staring at Liang He’s sleeve as if he could see their hands holding together behind.
Yan Ling takes a few steps back uncomfortably and pulls out her hand. Liang He immediately becomes unhappier and thinks that Liang Yi is not only annoying, but also always presents himself on an undue occasion.
“Ew…” Suddenly a sound comes from the other side.
Yan Ling turns to look at there, only to see that Qingyu is lying on the ship’s rail sickly, and Liyi is taking care of her.
“What’s the matter?” Yan Ling asks as she is walking towards them.
“She seems to be seasick.” Liyi says worriedly.
Looking at Qingyu whose face turns white and lips tremble but she couldn’t speak, which makes Yan Ling worried: what a stupid girl. “You should have not gotten on the boat now that you are easily seasick. As I said, you are too dull.”
Although she thinks that, how could she care about it so much? Yan Ling runs to them in a hurry, patting the back of Qingyu carefully to smooth her breath.
Liang He did not expect that and naturally does not know how to deal with it. Moreover, his mood is not very good, so he just ignores them.
Looking at them and carefully checking on their dressing and appearance, Liang Yi suddenly thinks of something. However, he still needs to verify his speculation.
Thus he quickly kicks three small stones from the ground with internal power, and attacks the three people not far away.
When Liang He finds out, it is too late. He knocks out the stones in the same way, but they only intercept two stones, and the last one flies straight to Yan Ling.
Yan Ling is standing on the edge of the boat which they rented temporarily and it is not as steady as Liang Yi’s fancy pleasure-boat. In addition, Yan Ling is still holding Qingyu, which inevitably leads to her losing gravity.
When Liang Yi’s stone suddenly hits her, Yan Ling is immediately out of balance. Before people around her could react, she already pushes Qingyu in and falls into the lake himself.
Seeing that he cannot save her, Liang He attacks Liang Yi with a black face. Finally, Liang Yi falls into water almost at the same time as Yan Ling.
Liang He, of course, jumps into the water and helps Yan Ling to get on the boat, then he frowns, watching Liang Yi who is in the water, looking in a terrible mess. It seems that he wants to save him, but finally he seems to be thinking that the one in his arms really matters.
