Twice Humbled

12/2/2025

Prince Ling immediately wondered if he was hallucinating or had misheard something?

This stunning beauty was actually being so fierce with him? This script doesn't seem right!

Then, the little beauty behind the big beauty stepped forward, hands on hips, speaking fiercely: "I'm talking to you—do you have any sense? No cutting in line!"

"..." Prince Ling's jaw nearly dropped in shock.

What was going on with him today? Prince Ling, who usually conquered every woman, had hit a wall—actually two walls—at once!

Su Li looked at the man in front of her, mouth slightly open in a daze, thinking to herself, "Is this guy an idiot?"

"Hey, can you understand what I'm saying?" Su Li slowed her tone.

Prince Ling finally snapped out of it, looking at Su Li's tone and gaze, thinking, "Why does this stunning beauty look at me like this? Her words and eyes seem to say, 'Are you sure you're not mentally challenged?'"

Prince Ling looked at this stunning beauty’s appearance—delicate, lively, with a hint of coquettish boldness—completely different from the pretentious noble ladies he’d met since childhood in the palace. So real, so unpretentious, so... daring!

Prince Ling, who was long tired of those noblewomen always trying to flatter him, suddenly found this fiery beauty ignoring him quite refreshing. The more he looked, the more charming she seemed—even her anger was adorable.

The attendants behind Prince Ling, seeing someone dare to speak so rudely to their master, immediately snapped fiercely, "Who are you to be so disrespectful to our young lord?"

"Hmph." Su Li sized up the attendant calmly, showing no fear, and said firmly, "I don't care who your young lord is. If you come to our Serenity Vegetarian Bistro, you must follow our rules. Without rules, nothing can function properly. Everyone must respect order and wait their turn. If everyone acted like you, breaking rules recklessly, how could normal order exist? Our shop wouldn't survive."

Prince Ling’s eyes fixed tightly on the stunning beauty’s bright, tender red lips, opening and closing like plum blossoms blooming in the wind, making it impossible for him to look away.

The attendant, still fiercely about to retort, was waved off by Prince Ling, signaling him to stop.

Prince Ling, always arrogant, actually stood up and respectfully cupped his hands to Su Li: "Miss, you’re right. It was improper of me."

The bell behind Su Li nearly dropped its jaw in shock.

Prince Ling is the emperor’s most favored son, used to having everything his way. Ministers all yield to him, and no one has ever seen Prince Ling bow to anyone. Yet... after being reprimanded a few words by the general’s wife, he actually admitted his fault?

This... this Prince Ling must be an impostor!

Su Li didn’t know this man’s identity but saw his apologetic attitude and softened her expression towards him. She gestured politely, "Well, since you know you were wrong, please, go ahead."

The attendant beside him grew anxious and whispered, "Your Highness, could it be... we really have to line up outside like everyone else?"

Prince Ling glanced outside and suddenly thought that experiencing ordinary life once in a while might actually be quite interesting.

So Prince Ling gave Su Li a sparkling smile and said, "Alright, then I’ll follow your rules and line up outside."

This was the second time Prince Ling bowed his head, and both times it was to the same spicy little beauty in front of him.

Then Prince Ling realized this and felt a strange sensation: "I’ve already been so accommodating to you, surely this beauty must see me in a new light now?"

But what happened next completely shocked Prince Ling...
