Still Business

Hearing that, Flora’s first reaction was that her aesthetics were so bad that Ryan couldn’t stand it.

But soon, she felt an intangible air of dissatisfaction.

Turning her head, she found that Ryan had frowned slightly at some point.

Ryan seemed to have also noticed that his expression wasn’t very good, and quickly turned his head away.

“Don’t worry so much, choose what you like.”

Flora understood.

Her train of thought just now had been seen through by Ryan.

And Ryan always hated others acting in front of him, deliberately trying to please him…

To be honest, Flora didn’t think this was a troublesome personality.

On the contrary, she really liked Ryan’s straightforwardness, even though this was a negative quality for a monarch… but aren’t crown princes also people?

Do they have to suppress their emotions?

Flora didn’t think so.

She also hoped to have a good friend who couldn’t worry so much, wouldn’t play tricks, and could be honest with her.

Considering the past experiences, Ryan obviously also yearned for such a person.

So in normal times, Ryan would react so strongly to all deception and concealment.

But it was very unfortunate that Flora was deceiving Ryan and also hiding her identity.

And she, who was so despicable, was treated as a family member that Ryan wanted to keep…

Flora also started to react a bit.

Now, wasn’t it going to be a play of doing things for the company, but in reality, it was for her reward, trying to love…

But even if she didn’t do this, she would still stay… before the nine-month deadline arrived.

(So, is it to pretend to be happy at being loved?)

Flora quickly rejected such thoughts.

Even though she had shamelessly deceived the other party about many things, she didn’t want to do that now.

Even though she knew very well that this was also for Ryan’s own good.

How could she show more of her true intentions to Ryan?

Even if this was out of a desire to compensate the other party, and to comfort her heart?

“Hmm, okay.”

Flora smiled slightly, observed carefully, and came to a suspender dress with white and red as the main colors, and black straps for embellishment.

“I didn’t say… ” Ryan went over again.

“No, no, I really think this is pretty good.” Flora smiled and said,

“Of course, the red and black representing Your Highness are indeed within my consideration.”

This time, she openly stated her considerations, concerns, and preferences.

Because compared to avoiding the red and black clothes intentionally after hearing Ryan’s words, or picking blue clothes again, this was what Flora wanted to do most now.

“…That’s really not bad.”

Perhaps it was a complement to Flora’s wearing of this set, Ryan nodded.

“Anything else you need?”

“If I buy too much and spend too much of Your Highness’ money, I’ll feel a bit embarrassed, that’s it.”

Flora frankly said what was on her mind.

“This little bit of money, didn’t I say that it’s meant to be spent, it’s not good to waste money.”

“Then buy one more.” Ryan insisted.

Flora had to start choosing again between the blue and red-black clothes.

Seeing this scene, Ryan walked to a suspender dress with the main colors of green and white.

“How about this?”

Flora was slightly stunned.

This was naturally not saying that Ryan had discovered her true identity, associating and suspecting her to be from the Heavenly Knights,

This was just Ryan simply choosing clothes with the same color as her eyes to show his affirmation of her.

To tell her, even if she didn’t choose blue, or black and red, it didn’t matter.

She only belonged to herself.

She couldn’t help but think of eight years ago, when she had just returned from the north.

The people around her were all telling her not to forget who had cultivated her,

And after that, they hated and regretted scolding themselves, scolding her as an ingrate, and saying that they shouldn’t have adopted her in the first place…

Clearly, she had never forgotten the saying “born of blue, should repay the benefactor”

These were good, thanks.

Flora said subconsciously.

But soon, she revealed a look of shame, and she was full of guilt.

Those people were not wrong.

It was true that she owed them, Owed that person.

She had nothing to be aggrieved about.

Not to mention, Ryan didn’t know anything, and mistakenly thought she was from the Blue Lion family, which was why he was doing this.

If Ryan knew of her despicable behavior, knew of her identity…

He would definitely not do this.

Thinking this way, Flora hid the sadness she had just revealed in her heart.

But what she didn’t notice was that a certain black-haired young man sensed the change in this emotion throughout the process.

Or rather, because the black-haired young man didn’t do anything, she mistakenly believed that the other party didn’t take it to heart.

And soon she would forget this unimportant thing.

Your Highness Ryan… no, Ryan, where are we going next?

Flora simply tried on three pieces of clothing, and after finding that none of them were ill-fitting, the two left the clothing store together.

She planned to wear the black and red set.

The clothing store would send the high-grade clothing, and the rest of the pieces would be sent directly.

And Flora also skillfully switched to a lively and cheerful state, and she threw the previous despondency and sadness to the back of her mind.

She wasn’t stupid, and she understood that after Ryan wanted to win her over, she understood.

She probably wouldn’t go to the restaurant at noon. Even if there was a banquet, it would probably be in the afternoon.

She actually relaxed.

Of course, Flora still didn’t think this was a date.

After all, Ryan’s behavior was more like that of a doting father to his daughter

“Where do you want to go?”

Ryan didn’t pretend anymore, and just asked.

Actually, Ryan had another plan, but it wasn’t realistic to perfectly eliminate the daytime time.

The purpose of this trip was to let Flora rest and relax, so Ryan planned to let Flora give her suggestions, after all, he didn’t have any experience of going out to play with girls, and didn’t know where girls loved to go.

But what he didn’t expect was that Flora wasn’t an ordinary girl.

She didn’t understand what ordinary girls were like at all.

However, when Ryan asked her this way, she immediately thought of the time when she and Moliara picked the honey near the military camp.

But those were not suitable to do now,

After thinking it over, Flora could only return to the starting point and do what she wanted to do.

She was naturally not interested in shopping, but looking at the daily lives of the common people of the royal capital, what things the people liked, and what they were discussing, that was within her range of interests.

Furthermore, it was rare to make a private visit, and she also wanted Ryan to pay more attention to the conditions of the people.

“Not a bad consideration.”

Ryan also agreed with Flora’s plan.

But after Flora, full of vigor, took the lead, Ryan realized that these were not right.

This inspection of the people’s conditions… did it also count as official business?

What about the vacation and relaxation they had talked about?
