The Crown Prince’s sudden appearance at Zhu House has given quite a shock to the crowd of people.
The quarrel between Zhu WuXin and Crown Prince was long known through the entire House.
Everyone thought Zhu WuXin wanted to throw away this backer, but unexpectedly he returned to look for her.
The servants quietly discussed among themselves, “Fourth Miss Zhu is indeed powerful, to be able to charm the Crown Prince until he forgets about his own ‘ident.i.ty’.”
But the Crown Prince didn’t came at the right time.
It wasn’t that she has yet to return home, but she just went out.
Last time was she has not returned yet, but this time she was coincidentally just stepped out.
But that’s okay, to be able to endure till he was t.i.tled as the Crown Prince, his patience is certainly different than ordinary people.
He can slowly wait here.
Dismissing the crowd, the Crown Prince slowly paced towards the courtyard of Zhu WuXin’s room.
As for Zhu JiLan, she stood outside the courtyard, secretly looking at the Crown Prince.
This man as gentle as jade, she has already taken a liking to him the first time she saw him.
However, no matter how much she schemed and calculated, she could never expect that the one who can be so close to him was the jiejie she ridiculed and looked down, Zhu WuXin.
She was unwilling, she believed that she won’t lose with the help from Ning An.
So, after organizing her thoughts, she staggered into the courtyard.
Hearing footsteps, the Crown Prince turned around thinking Zhu WuXin has returned.
But when he saw that it was JiLan, his gaze dropped, “Why did you came here?”
JiLan looking like she was too weak to stand up against the wind stepped forward to give her greetings but her body swayed, causing her to almost fell down.
All of the Royal heirs were skillful martial artists, their reactions would naturally be much faster than ordinary people.
Seeing that she was about to fall, the Crown Prince instinctively stretched his hands out to catch her, but he didn’t antic.i.p.ate that she would took the advantage to hold onto him.
A bear hug. 1
The Crown Prince wanted to break away from her hold but she stumbled once again, holding on even tightly on him.
“Your Highness, I , I’m sorry , I , I am feeling a bit dizzy.” 2
She has said such words, so the Crown Prince was unable to reprimand her to mind her behavior (as an unmarried lady).
He can only let her held onto him, his eyebrows tightly scrunched.
Then he thought of the wounds on her arms previously, “JiLan, tell Benw.a.n.g the truth. How did you get those injuries on your arms?”
JiLan was alarmed in his arms, as she did not expect the Crown Prince would even ask that question.
“It, it was WuXin jiejie who did it.”
Pinching her chin to raise her face up, the Crown Prince asked coldly, “How did it really happened?”
Right then, as JiLan was at a loss getting questioned by the Crown Prince, Zhu WuXin returned home.
