Chapter 464: Wei Wei Dominated His Highness

Translator: Larbre Studio Editor: Larbre Studio

She had only been eager to advance her marriage with Murong Changfeng because she wanted to mask the pain.

Gradually, as time pa.s.sed, she selectively forgot about the man who incited excruciating pain in her whenever she thought of him, just as she had deliberately forgotten about the truth of her mother’s death…

As her memories began to resurface, she failed to notice the figure approaching her from nearby.

Yet, many others did notice the commotion, and as they turned to look, their eyes were filled with awe and astonishment.

With only a blank expression, the charming Baili Jia Jue held onto the bouquet of roses in his hand, a lone figure with his gaze fixed upon the man standing across Helian Wei Wei. Very swiftly, his intense eyes darkened.

Helian Wei Wei’s limbs began to stiffen as if her body was no longer hers to command. With clenched fists, she tried to contain the overwhelming heaviness she was feeling.

“Wei Wei.”

Whenever Helian Wei Wei revisited the past, she could not help but feel sort of carried away by it. If it had not been for the familiar voice that called on her, she would have already drifted away.

Swiftly, she came to her senses and grounded herself firmly in her own body, turning toward the source of the voice.

The red color of the roses set against the backdrop of His Highness holding them revealed an inexplicable kind of captivation that was beautiful beyond words.

However…

Why is Baili Jia Jue carrying roses?

Moreover, his facial expression seems unhappy?

Before Helian Wei Wei could utter a word, someone had already wrapped his hand around her waist and placed the roses into her hand with something that resembled a smile but not quite.

Puzzled, Helian Wei Wei raised her eyebrows. His Highness was the hardest to read when he was in this kind of mood. Cough! Perhaps it was time to say something.

“Is this for me?”

“Mmhmm.”

“The roses are beautiful, I love them.” Whatever it was, she would indulge him first.

Baili Jia Jue glanced at Wei Wei while leaning closer to gently tuck a few strands of hair behind her ears with his long and slender fingers. In a deep and devious voice, he whispered, “Then you can think about how you’re going to make it up to me later.”

Helian Wei Wei’s hand fidgeting over the roses froze and the tips of her ears reddened.

Seeing her like this, the iciness in Baili Jia Jue’s eyes melted slightly, “The Clan Meeting should be over by now, when will you be leaving?”

“Are you here to pick me up?” Helian Wei Wei tried to hide her glee as a smile shone on her face. “Well, we can leave now. I’ve got some matters to discuss with Imperial Grandfather anyway.” While talking, Helian Wei Wei turned her head around and looked at Chi Yan, “Thank you, General Chi, for saving me in the past. Whatever offensive words Wei Wei may have said once upon a time, I hope that you allow it to slide. Back then, I was young and I had an overactive imagination.”

Chi Yan looked at her with meaningful eyes and replied slowly, “I’ve never thought of it as offensive.”

Uh…What does that mean?

How was she supposed to reply to that?

Intuitively, Helian Wei Wei turned toward Baili Jia Jue and found herself mesmerized by his breathtakingly handsome side profile as the charming smile on his face widened.

Yet, Helian Wei Wei was not convinced that his smile was out of joy. Someone like His Highness would never smile like that when he was truly joyful.

As expected.

Baili Jia Jue held her even closer as he looked intently at Chi Yan and with amus.e.m.e.nt in his voice, he said, “In the future, it’d be best to stop those random thoughts, lest someone take it seriously. Imagine how disastrous that would be to settle, don’t you agree, Master Chi?”

Little Seventh Prince, who happened to be listening from the side, honestly thought that his Third Brother’s sharp tongue had improved. He would have to be obedient in the future, otherwise, he would be the next victim of his sharp tongue.

Unsurprisingly, Chi Yan remained silent as he looked at Baili Jia Jue with his eyes that were as dark as night, unmoving and unbothered.

For some reason, Helian Wei Wei could sense the air turning explosive and kept looking back and forth between them.

Baili Jia Jue did not give her a chance to think it through as his deep voice resounded again, “Didn’t you want to discuss matters with Imperial Grandfather? We should head back soon, the old man will need to rest any later.”

“Alright.” Helian Wei Wei had never been very emotionally perceptive by nature, and with the destabilizing of her soul a while ago, she figured it was best for her to digest everything by helping herself to a slice of Osmanthus cake. She then asked, “Which horse carriage did you arrive in?”

Baili Jia Jue raised his eyebrows, puzzled with the purpose of her query, “I came in that one.”

“Oh, that’s good then. Since you have a bigger horse carriage, it’ll fit all my snack boxes so Little Seventh Prince and I will be able to eat them then.” Helian Wei Wei just blurted out whatever that was running through her mind.

The corner of Chi Yan’s lips twitched a few times. Was this her only response upon hearing the entire conversation?

On the other hand, Baili Jia Jue seemed to be immensely satisfied with the slowness of his prey in certain areas of the heart and chuckled, “I’ve already arranged for your snack boxes to be replenished with refreshments and preserved fruits. There is also a new tea on board, you can have some later during the journey.”

“Okay,” Helian Wei Wei replied gleefully, completely indulging in the privilege she was pampered with.

Little Seventh Prince felt sorry for Chi Yan, with a pitter-patter, he treaded away in little footsteps alongside his Third Brother and Third Aunt.

While being escorted away by Baili Jia Jue, Helian Wei Wei turned her head around involuntarily to look at Chi Yan.

The master who had constantly been labeled as being as cool as jade with an unchanging manner to everything had his head lowered, exuding a feeling of loneliness…

“What’s the matter? Don’t feel like leaving?” Baili Jia Jue’s other hand clenched into a fist, but his smile did not reach his eyes that smoldered with darkness.

Helian Wei Wei quickly shook off the strange feeling as her eyes glistened, “I want to leave.”

“Then don’t look back.” Baili Jia Jue would never tell her of how threatened and panicked he had felt when he saw the look in her eyes as she turned to look at Chi Yan.

That’s right.

Threatened and panicked.

He could not imagine it.

He could not imagine if his prey would no longer look at him one day but at someone else.

What would he be capable of doing?

Perhaps he would personally break her limbs so that she could go nowhere.

Or perhaps, he would kill everyone.

Whatever it takes to not lose her, he will be willing to do.

Even if that meant turning into a demon!

All of a sudden, Helian Wei Wei saw a ma.s.s of black clouds billowing in from the west. She could not understand why the weather changed so abruptly, but she noticed that the pair of hands clasping onto hers was exceptionally cold. Without hesitation, she cupped them close to her lips and blew a breath of warm air onto them. She then looked up and insisted, “Remember to put on more layers whenever you go out in the future. The temperature difference nowadays is too drastic. Those who serve you should know better and prepare an outer robe for you.”

The warmth from his fingers spread into the dark corners of his heart, dispelling the darkness from his eyes. Unknowingly, Baili Jia Jue’s lips curled into a smile. “Alright, I get it. Since when did you become so long-winded like Eunuch Sun.”

“Wait a minute!” Helian Wei Wei thought that this was the perfect time to express some lovey-dovey affection. Thus, she began flipping through her ‘Court Your Wife’ manual. Eventually, she chuckled and retorted extremely gently, “Even if I’m long-winded, I’m only long-winded to you.”

That’s right! The bossy president in novels would always use phrases like this to dominate the person they wanted!

Little Seventh Prince was speechless.

He could not bear the sight. It was truly tough on his Third Brother when the person he got together with was someone like his Third Aunt…
