“What do you feel the reason was?” Baili Jia Jue’s fingers stiffened. His posture was cold as he watched her. The tone of his voice was indifferent just like it was previously.
Wei Wei’s eyebrows raised. She naturally didn’t know, that’s why she asked.
“Inside that brain of yours, if there wasn’t straw, then there must be soybean pulp.” Along with Baili Jia Jue’s mocking tone of voice, there was also a hint of sensuality. “Of course it was because the color of your skin left a rather deep impression on people. Otherwise, what reason would there be? Even men are not as dark as you.”
Wei Wei glared at him. This Third Prince really was too, too, too, not cute!
She merely asked one more question. Did he have to go so far as to deliver a personal attack? After making fun of her IQ, he even mocked her skin…
Watching that little head lowering, the ends of Baili Jia Jue’s mouth couldn’t help but curved up into a demonically cool smile. “However, victory is interesting.”
Interesting?
He-he.
The corners of Wei Wei’s mouth twitched. Did he think he was choosing a mascot?
“Since you were the one who came up with the idea, then you should abide by the agreement.” Baili Jia Jue’s voice sounded out again. “This Highness doesn’t like people who doesn’t abide by the rules. After returning to the capital, at the martial qi competition there, you need to use all of your effort. Old grandfather is still very astute.”
Wei Wei laughed lightly. “Don’t worry, Your Highness. Since I’m already cooperating to become Third Prince Consort, of course I wouldn’t cause you to lose face.”
“Don’t undervalue yourself.” Baili Jia Jue said softly. Because the two of them were separated by a very small distance, his breath, in that way, gently hit her behind the ear and a burst of limpness and numbness struck her. “Just be yourself and it’ll be fine. This Highness’ face still won’t be lost or what not.”
Hm?
Wei Wei’s pair of eyes looked up slowly. It was clearly just a few simple words, yet they gave rise to something a bit different in her heart.
“Just be yourself and it’ll be fine.”
Based on this sentence alone, Wei Wei resolved to coexist as peacefully as possible with Baili Jia Jue in the future. In any case, she still had a backup plan. Only as a last resort would she use it.
“Understand?” Baili Jia Jue looked down at her. His thick eyelashes cast an enchanting shadow. As she looked up, she actually saw the outline of his resolute thin lips, beautiful yet no less domineering. “Since you’ve understood everything, then let’s set out now.”
“So fast?” Wei Wei’s shapely eyebrows raised. Her money had still not been collected. “We can’t. I still have something to do.”
Baili Jia Jue slowed his footsteps. “What thing?”
“A few personal matters.” Wei Wei certainly wasn’t willing to disclose every inside information to Baili Jia Jue, not because she had to guard against him, but rather from the beginning, she and Hei Ze had already agreed that the matter of them opening shop would not be disclosed to anyone else. She came to Armament City mainly in order to meet up with Hei Ze. Even if they were to leave, it’d still need to wait until she’d properly make business arrangements before leaving.
Baili Jia Jue glanced at her, his tone of voice was level. “One day. I’ll only give you a day’s time.”
“You also want to stay?” Wei Wei knitted her brows. “That won’t be too safe, you know.”
Baili Jia Jue brushed the dust that wasn’t on his body. “There’s nothing unsafe about it.”
“But looking at the little tyrant’s attitude, there apparently seemed to be some conflict with you, Your Highness.” Wei Wei said this very tactfully already. Actually, she wanted to say ‘the way he looked at you is simply like he was itching to slaughter you.’
Baili Jia Jue ‘mm hm’d once. “It’s a matter from our childhood. It was but me wanting him to wear a dress, but he wouldn’t wear it, so I could only personally put it on him, that’s all.”
Helian Wei Wei:…
Your Highness, could you not talk about such a perverted thing in such a light and easy way, eh hey, hello.
Have a young man wear a dress?
No wonder whenever the little tyrant saw you now, he wished he could hack you to death every single minute!
Which young man would want to wear a dress, eh, hello!
“If the little tyrant go and gather an army, then what?” Wei Wei raised her brows. She didn’t believe that the little tyrant would just swallow this grudge.
Baili Jia Jue unhurriedly arranged his sleeves and responded. “This Highness would not give him the opportunity.”
Wei Wei had always felt that today’s Third Prince was slightly irritable. Wonder how he’d deal with the little tyrant in a moment.
In any case, she should first silently say a prayer for the little tyrant. Amitabha, may lord Buddha preserve you.
For the sake of being able to quickly take care of her own matters, Wei Wei also didn’t follow Baili Jia Jue to return together.
However, she wasn’t mistaken. When Baili Jia Jue confronted the beautiful youngster, he wasn’t very gentle at all.
Actually, when the fire qilin saw his master return, he profoundly breathed a sigh of relief.
The beautiful youngster’s face was extremely upset. “Imperial Older Brother, if you have the ability, don’t have the fire qilin trap me and let us instead fight one on one.”
“With you?” Baili Jia Jue lifted his eyes open, faced him, and took a glance.
The beautiful youngster immediately stuck out his own small chest, and adopted an attitude of ‘grandpa, I’m prepared to meet the enemy at any time’.
Baili Jia Jue coldly continued to speak. “Not interested.”
The beautiful youngster’s temper flared and started to grit his teeth. “Then just let me go! I’m sleepy!”
“You can sleep with me here today.” Baili Jia Jue propped up his chin, as if he didn’t notice the the fiery rocketing rage in the beautiful youngster’s eyes.
The beautiful youngster smiled coldly. “Are you afraid I’ll go move the rescue soldiers? All right. No matter what, you’re still my imperial older brother. This time, I’ll reluctantly let you off and just sleep at your place. However, don’t you grind your teeth in the middle of the night and also don’t snore. Otherwise, I wouldn’t be able to sleep.”
Baili Jia Jue knitted his brows and looked at his expression as if he was looking at a freak. “Who told you that this Highness will let you sleep on a bed.”
The beautiful youngster was momentarily somewhat at a loss. “What?”
“Sleep on floor.” Three words were dropped indifferently. Baili Jia Jue then immediately turned around towards the direction of the room’s couch and walked over.
The beautiful youngster watched that pure and cold, lonely figure’s back as his whole face scrunched into a steamed stuffed bun (shaped like a cream puff). Why did he feel that he was being played by his imperial older brother.
Why?
Could it be…
The beautiful youngster seemed as if he’d figured out something, as his eyes shined suddenly. “Imperial Older Brother must care about my partner a lot, right?”
Baili Jia Jue’s hand taking off his clothes slowed slightly, however, from the beautiful youngster’s angle, nothing could be seen.
The beautiful youngster saw that he didn’t have any reaction, and got ready to use a stronger drug (stir him up some more). “Actually I heard that my partner doesn’t like Imperial Brother at all. It was for the sake of rejecting Imperial Brother’s consort selection that she ran to Armament City.”
As before, Baili Jia Jue didn’t pay attention to him and extended his hand to casually throw his clothes on the wooden chair, then leisurely took the porcelain cup from the wood tabletop.
The beautiful youngster knitted his brows. Could it be that he’d guessed incorrectly.
Imperial Older Brother basically didn’t have any special feelings for that Helian Wei Wei?
Was it only simply because Wei Wei offended him that he dragged her out like he did just now?
The beautiful youngster was unwilling to give up. He didn’t believe that he wouldn’t be able to exasperate him!
The bright eyes turned as the beautiful youngster continued to speak. “I truly didn’t expect that there’d be a day when Imperial Brother could also be rejected. However, thinking it over carefully, it was nevertheless reasonable. After all, once a woman already has a sweetheart, no matter how perfect the man standing in front of her may be, she still wouldn’t be moved. Imperial Older Brother probably doesn’t know yet, but between that partner of mine and the Hei family’s second young master, there certainly wasn’t only that little bit of a relationship at the academy…”
