“Woman, why are you running so fast?” Yuan Ming stayed in the ancient book; he felt dizzy as he was jolted.

Upon hearing this, Helian Wei Wei stopped. “You’re right, why am I running so fast? I am already late anyway.”

“It’s probably curfew time now,” Yuan Ming said lazily, “Have you forgotten about the rules in your academy? Looks like this is really the power of love. It can even make you willingly climb over the wall in the middle of the night.”

With a push of one arm, Helian Wei Wei handily leaped over the wall as she was about to answer Yuan Ming.

Just then, she heard a deep, pleasant-sounding yet gentle cough from her back, along with a light herbal scent wafted in the air.

Helian Wei Wei subconsciously turned around.

A student who was standing beside a man appeared like he had spotted a ghost, nearly shouting out loud for someone to come over.

However, the man elegantly interrupted the student’s words, “Behave yourself, Little Wine.”

“But, but she!” Little Wine had never seen a lady of good upbringing climbing over the wall in his life, even a female bandit would not be so brazen. Moreover, there was a curfew in White Academy. People who openly ignored the academy rules like her would definitely be expelled if they were caught!

Knowing that she had been caught red-handed, Helian Wei Wei chose not to hide anymore. She looked at the guy who was sitting under the silk flower tree, there were a tea set and a white jade black stone chess set near his arm. She said with a smile, “How elegant, Master Wushuang.”

“Have a drink,” Jing Wushuang was the kind of person whom people would find it hard to hate him, especially with that warm disposition. It was very easy for people to let their guard down in front of him.

Helian Wei Wei glanced at the light that dimmed down afar, she thought for a moment before saying, “No, it’s the academy rule that boys and girls shall not get close to each other. I’ll have that drink with Master Wushuang after we leave the Academy.”

Little Wine looked at her, his mouth agape, and thought, you have already climbed over the wall, do you even care about the academy rules!

Jing Wushuang said with a faint smile on his face, “Alright then, I’ll not have Lady Wei Wei around. See you in cla.s.s tomorrow.”

“Great.” Helian Wei Wei’s lips quirked into a smile, her beautiful silhouette walking through the academy.

Little Wine, the student who was standing beside Jing Wushuang pursed his lips and said, “Master, that woman is obviously lying to you. You have favored her by offering her tea, but she brushed you off with such an excuse.”

“Do you know who is she, Little Wine?” Jing Wushuang put down the white piece in his hand.

Little Wine shook his head. “No.”

“You don’t usually come out from the residence, so naturally you won’t know.” Jing Wushuang countered it and conquered a black piece. “She is Helian Wei Wei, who has just married the Third Prince. You must remember to never offend this person.”

Little Wine was not impressed at all. “Simply because she is the Third Princess Consort?”

“No.” Jing Wushuang put down his last piece, reversing an unfavorable round. “It’s because she’s the person who beats me in martial arts.”

Little Wine was shocked and forgot to reply. After a moment, he said, “But Master, you once said that you will marry the person who beats you in martial arts, now… this…”

Jing Wushuang did not say anything further. He paused for a moment, a light breeze blew past them, his robes flew with the wind. “Little Wine, do not say these sort of things in the future, it will ruin her reputation.”

“Yes.” Little Wine lowered his gaze, but the itching of curiosity inside him was uncontrollable. Over the years, he had never seen Master having any unique emotion toward a woman. He was always courteous to everyone, people could not hate him despite being rejected by him.

However, this Helian Wei Wei was somehow slightly different, it was the first time Little Wine seeing his master inviting someone for a tea.

Too bad she was already married…

“Are you saying that the reason I have to wait for such a long time because she met Jing Wushuang on the way here?” Baili Jia Jue coldly curled his lips, he casually loosened his collar, his other hand was rested by his side. His eyes were cold, but he looked like he was smiling.

The shadow guards who reported the incident only knew what they saw, they did not know where Helian Wei Wei went earlier. But as the saying went, by saying less there will be fewer mistakes, they lowered their eyes.

But people who knew him well would certainly know that he was not smiling.

Little did they know that Baili Jia Jue’s deep-set eyes were slowly covered in ice following their silent affirmation.

Once Helian Wei Wei entered the room, she had a feeling that she was unjustly blamed.

Seeing her walking in, Baili Jia Jue ordered the shadow guards, “Retreat, all of you.”

“Yes.”

The room suddenly became very quiet after everyone had left. It was so quiet that she could not even hear the humming of insects.

Probably because Baili Jia Jue had regained his martial Qi, his body had an aura of the Fire Qilin, normally, no small living things would stay at a place where the King of mythical beast existed.

However, the atmosphere was slightly tense as it was too serene.

Helian Wei Wei knew that she was in the wrong. She cast a glance at the white moonlight and said, “I was quite busy today, so I was late.”

“You can ask Shadow to let me know if you’re busy, but you never even say anything,” Baili Jia Jue said faintly.

Helian Wei Wei had never thought about that. Looking at the things placed on his table, she could tell that he had waited for quite some time, but she was too vigilant, she was not used to ordering Shadow to run errands for her. She was not used to using servants of the others, especially after the incident of Hei Zhu.

Baili Jia Jue looked at her. “You either did not prioritize this matter or you are unwilling to spend time with me.”

Helian Wei Wei admitted that she had really forgotten about this matter when she got busy, but, “It’s not intentional on my part, and it’s not that I am unwilling to do it, I was just too busy.”

“Too busy?” Baili Jia Jue pursed his lips.

He sounded so cold.

Helian Wei Wei got it in an instant, “You still have your man following me around until now?”

Baili Jia Jue did not deny it, he had always been like this.

Helian Wei Wei closed her eyes and remained silent for a moment, then she said, “If Your Highness is so distrustful of me, why did you even sign that contract? If that’s the case, I think it’s better for both of us to think twice about this contract to ensure if there is really a need for it.”

Baili Jia Jue looked at her and coldly said, “Do you want to terminate the contract?”

Helian Wei Wei remained silent.

Baili Jia Jue tossed away his robe, seemingly his whole body had been reduced to the lowest temperature and said, “Suit yourself.”

He entered the house without looking back upon saying that.

Helian Wei Wei looked at him for a while until he disappeared behind the door, their relations.h.i.+p might look strong, but it was actually very weak.

It was just like what the people said.

They got together solely for the reason that he wanted to stall the Retired Emperor off.

The Retired Emperor seemed to be very satisfied with both of them and this had indirectly relieved Baili Jia Jue’s pressure.

They were always scrutinized by others when they were at the palace, thus they had to display affection in public. But it was different here, so it did not really matter.

Perhaps the Third Prince had thought about this before giving her such an answer…
