I'm competing with the male lead for a woman[GL]

Chapter 49: "This Prince only needs the Princess."

For the first time in her life, Shen Shuang looked at a woman and was stunned by her beauty.

After all, she had never seen such a gorgeous woman before. Everything, from the floral hairpin on her forehead to the sleeves that swayed just so, was perfect.

The smile at the corners of her eyes had to be just right - not too much, not too little - and it was only this woman before her who could pull off a white gown and a gentle, shallow smile.

Shen Shuang couldn't take her eyes off of Chu Shao's stunning face, her own amazement almost overflowing.

At first, Xiao Jin thought Shen Shuang was looking at her, but when she realized that Shen Shuang's gaze wasn't directed at her, she knew something was off.

Following Shen Shuang's unwavering gaze, she saw Chu Shao's smiling face.

Shen Shuang was lost in thought, her expression hazy.

Of course, Chu Shao's smile didn't seem particularly kind, either.

Taking all of these factors into consideration, Xiao Jin felt like this misunderstanding was probably too big to resolve easily.

To ease the awkwardness, she coughed and asked, "Miss Shen came to the Yan Mansion today. Is there something you need?"

It wasn't until Xiao Jin spoke that Shen Shuang recovered from Chu Shao's beauty attack.

She pursed her lips, feeling like it was really hot out today.

So she turned all of her vexation into words and aimed them at Xiao Jin, saying, "Your Highness Yan, you're actually asking what instruction this common girl has to give?"

Xiao Jin frowned, still not entirely sure what the other woman was talking about. Then, she saw Shen Shuang become angry enough to laugh and demand, "Have you forgotten what His Highness did all those years ago?"

...

"Have you forgotten?"

This sentence carried a devastating impact.

Not only did the courtyard fall into an eerie silence, even the birds perched on the withered trees had shrunk into balls and dared not chirp.

Don't talk about the deathly silence that enveloped the courtyard; even the birds perched on the withered trees were cowering and too afraid to chirp.

Xiao Jin had no idea what the original owner had done to Shen Shuang, but her intuition told her that it wasn't anything good. It was an absolute disaster, and she was having a terrible experience in this transmigrated world.

Xiao Jin's silence was in sharp contrast to Chu Shao's smile. While one grew increasingly quiet, the other's smile deepened.

It was at this point, with the eerie atmosphere reaching its peak, that Chu Shao released the wheelchair's handgrip, took a step forward, and kindly looked at Shen Shuang as she softly asked, "Miss Shen's words have piqued this princess's curiosity. I wonder, what did Her Highness the Prince do to you all those years ago?"

To Xiao Jin, this sentence was like the sound of a death knell.

But to Shen Shuang, it was a different story.

She never expected that this woman was the rumored Prince Yan Wife.

Xiao Jin was really unworthy.

In Shen Shuang's eyes, Chu Shao's words were gentle, and the smile on her lips was as thick as the blossoming flowers in spring.

A woman as peerless as her deserved the best man in the world.

Even if she wasn't the best, she certainly couldn't be paired with someone like Xiao Jin.
