“hobbies? does sleeping count?” shi xi thought for a moment and asked.

tao boli laughed out loud. “i guess so. are there any others?”

“make money!”

“are you short of money?” tao boli was moved.

he had investigated shi xi’s life experiences on paper. just looking at them made one’s heart ache.

shi xi’s path was rugged, but her career was going against the current.

“who would complain about money?” shi xi’s eyes curved into crescents as she smiled.

“you’re right.” tao boli nodded in agreement. “with money, everything is easier.”

shi xi noticed that the wheelchair was turning a little slowly and said embarrassedly, “are you tired? this wheelchair is powered by electricity. 1 can push it myself.”

“it’s just, i’m not too good at turning.”

“it’s okay. i’m not tired.” tao boli wanted to spend more time with shi xi.

“but 1 think it’s a little slow.”

“sena! i’m here!” when shi xi saw an acquaintance, she immediately beckoned her over.

tao boli released his grip and stood aside.

“thank you for your clothes.” shi xi looked at the coat on her body and said in embarrassment, “it seems to be stained with some red wine. i’ll get sena to wash it and send it to your house.”

“alright.”

sena pushed shi xi and it was much faster.

when they returned to the room, sena saw the large number of wine stains on shi xi’s body. she said in surprise, “what’s wrong?”

“someone ‘accidentally’ spilled it on me. go get the clothes, i’ll take a shower first,” urged shi xi.

the red wine spilled on her body, making her feel uncomfortable.

“how could it be an accident? it must be intentional!” sena helped shi xi undo her gown and said angrily, “it must have been miss russell! she has always relied on the queen’s favor to ostracize people she does not like!”

“she’s so domineering, yet the queen still dotes on her?” shi xi was interested.

“who knows? the queen treats her better than princess helius.” sena snorted, “those who don’t know better would think that russell is the queen’s daughter!”

shi xi thought of helius’ appearance and temperament that resembled the queen and said, “then the princess is more like the queen.”

sena helped shi xi loosen the straps on the back of her dress and said, “perhaps the princess has too many things to learn from the two princes. only miss russell has time to accompany the queen, so the queen loves her more.”

the status of the royal family was noble, so there was much more to learn at the same time, and the responsibility that they had to shoulder in the future was even greater.

shi xi thought for a moment and asked, “can the princess also inherit the throne?”

“yes.” sena took off shi xi’s dress and said, “princess helius has two ph.d.’s. she’s very good at managing the palace’s affairs and the company’s operations!”

“is that so…” shi xi was deep in thought.

although ryan had never mentioned it, shi xi guessed that ryan wanted to inherit the throne.

ryan wanted to marry her, probably to hide it from others, or to protect bonita.

first, he would use her hands to cripple the second prince.

now, she had to face princess helius again.

shi xi wondered if ryan had participated in and designed the show tonight.

she wasn’t ryan’s sweetheart, so he wouldn’t feel bad even if he used her.

when shi xi came out of the shower and saw the pajamas that sena took out, she said, “prepare a dress for me. i’m going back to the banquet hall.”

“but the first prince has instructed that you don’t have to continue attending the banquet,” said sena.

shi xi’s heart tightened.

she was not allowed to go to the banquet?

then how was she going to escape?
