"Don’t mention it! It’s just that the child and I are not destined, no one else is to blame."Princess Sherry smiled at Su Xiaomeng and then said,
"I heard from Eric that you’ve returned to London, and the two kids have gone to the Royal Kindergarten... The Royal Christmas event ended during the day, and I really didn’t want to attend the dinner, so I found a lousy excuse to leave."
"Speaking of it... I’ve got a lot of family and friends, but I didn’t want to go to any of them, then suddenly thought of you."
"That should be my honor."
"Studying and taking care of two kids at the same time... it must be very exhausting, right? Would you like me to help you with Bath..."
"Oh, please don’t."
Su Xiaomeng hurriedly said.
"Have you thought it through, while I still hold the status of a royal member..."
"Don’t tempt me any further, I might really not be able to resist."
"Haha!"
"May I... ask one more thing, is leaving because..."
"I’m still young."
Princess Sherry said seriously,
"Even though Harry has a noble status, and the Royal Family is a place many people flock to... but I really don’t find any value or meaning in being Harry’s Princess, a member of the British Royal Family."
Her gaze unintentionally fell on Shuangshuang’s starry wide eyes, she softly smiled,
"Maybe, it’s like this, you don’t have to do anything, yet you’re admired and envied by others..."
"Prince Harry’s reputation... doesn’t seem very good..."
Su Xiaomeng cautiously chose her words.
"Well... anyway, after divorcing him, there will be a new princess, and I don’t want to care too much anymore."
Shirley said.
To Su Xiaomeng’s relief, the Shirley who said these words showed not a trace of resentment on her face, but rather a sense of relief anticipating liberation.
"Sue..."
"Mm?"
"I am a fake princess, but you are real."
"..."
Su Xiaomeng was stunned for a moment, then hurriedly pointed to her own face and said,
"With my black eyes, black hair, yellow skin..."
"You know I’m not referring to bloodline..."
"..."
"When the child was just gone, I was really depressed, but Eric helped me a lot."
"A man with an empire, with ambitions, who is willing to pamper you to the bone, what are you if not a princess?"
Su Xiaomeng pursed her lips, after a long time, she said,
"Life is still long, Arthur and I have a long way to go... Shirley, neither of us should envy the other."
"..."
"Only until the moment before a person dies, can you determine whether this life has been more happy or more painful. Do you agree?"
"Of course."
"If you’ve decided to divorce Prince Harry, not cherishing this royal noble status, then I think the so-called royal noble status, to you, is nothing more than a pile of dirt, worthless."
Shirley looked at Su Xiaomeng with wide eyes...
After a long time, she laughed out loud,
"A pile of dirt, worthless indeed!"
"I was just saying... uh... don’t take it too seriously."
"You’re insightful... living wiser than me..."
Being praised by a British Princess made Su Xiaomeng feel a bit uneasy.
"Do you have... wine?"
Shirley asked.
Su Xiaomeng nodded,
"Just a bit left, do you want to drink?"
"Can I have a little?"
"Sure."
Su Xiaomeng stood up, went to the wine cabinet and picked a bottle, didn’t really look, then opened it.
Shirley, upon seeing this, immediately widened her eyes,
"There’s no need to open such an expensive wine!"
Su Xiaomeng quickly looked at the wine bottle, the surface densely covered with French words, she could only vaguely make out a few words, and shook her head bewilderedly,
"Is it expensive? Ah well, never mind then!"
Shirley was somewhat amused and helpless,
"This bottle of wine must be worth tens of millions of British Pounds..."
Su Xiaomeng’s hand trembled, almost unable to hold the bottle stable, indeed being startled by the number,
"Really?"
Shirley took the wine bottle from her hand and told her the provenance and year represented by the French on it.
"..."
Su Xiaomeng was annoyed inwardly.
A bottle of wine for tens of millions of pounds... does it contain gold? No, even if it was filled with gold, it wouldn’t be so expensive.
"I won’t forget..."
Shirley caressed the wine bottle’s surface,
"There was a time I mistakenly opened a similar bottle, and Harry punished me by making me kneel for over five hours..."
"..."
Su Xiaomeng took a deep breath, took the wine glass, and poured her a glass,
"Drink it, even the most precious wine, if not drunk, holds no value."
"Hahaha! Won’t your husband be heartbroken?"
"My husband is lying in a hospital bed and can’t manage something so far away for now. Besides... he never told me not to open this bottle of wine, it’s his fault!"
Shirley raised her glass,
"To your good husband."
"To your new, better life."
