Searching For You

Chapter 180

To her, she and Hue Chi are nothing but only bounded by a one-month contract, but his parents, the mother and father of the nation does not think so. Hue Chi did not formally introduce her to them and vice versa, making it hard for her to know how to act towards them. Although she sat the farthest away from the Queen and King, she still feels nervous.

"Mother, father, my work here is done. I"ll take my leave first."

His Mother Queen stuttered, "Hue Chi, you"re not going to the dinner hall?"

"Mm… We have to get back."

"Let someone take her back. You started this event. It"s disrespectful to leave in the middle of your event." The King commanded in a stern low voice. His voice wasn"t loud and outrageous but in a low stern tone. One can tell that he means business and is issuing an order.

"That"s rude to my guest." Hue Chi retorted.

"You!" His father King clenched his jaw while a vein is about to pop on his forehead.

Yu Sha felt even more awkward at the situation. She was mad at him the whole time but have to put up a front and then now, his parents and him are having a serious pa.s.sive fight. She can"t even tell when is the right time to interrupt. She wanted to tell Hue Chi that she should leave first. She is hungry like a wild boar and preferred to eat elsewhere. Eating with all these high-cla.s.s people, no matter how good the food is, her soul wouldn"t be full.

Hue Chi had wanted to take her to eat elsewhere, food she likes, the reason why he wanted to leave. She pretty much starved all day following him around. He was aware of that but there just wasn"t enough time in between for him to properly treat her to a meal. He wanted to use this opportunity to repay her with food she prefers.

To not escalate the situation, the queen interrupted, "Hue Chi, why don"t you take your friend to the dinner hall and have dinner?"

Friend, what friend? We"re not friends! If only Yu Sha could say easily, she would deny all the way.

Hue Chi looked at Yu Sha and saw what state of mind she was in before deciding to go. Yu Sha nudged her head in response they should stop by the dinner hall. This is an event he started, it"s only the right thing he appears before the people for a moment. She wouldn"t be able to face the country if it was because of her he didn"t show up.

"Are you sure?" He asked.

"Mm… We should go to the dinner hall."

Prince Hue Chi quietly complied and led her to the dining hall. The interaction between Hue Chi and Yu Sha bewildered the Royal Couples and those who were still in the room. The Royal Couples has never seen their son act so close and casual, not even with the male confidants that works with their son.

Kao Sheng and her parents were just shocked and puzzled for the Prince has never asked anyone for opinions of anything, but he asked Yu Sha.

Was I mistaken? I was wary of Su Na, instead it was Yu Sha that I should be wary of? But Yu Sha had nothing going on for her? How was she able to attracts the Prince? Kao Sheng thought as her heart aches in pain feeling disappointed. She now had lost all appet.i.te to eat anything.


General Va Tong didn"t think that Yu Sha was going to come with Hue Chi, so he didn"t bother to tell his wife and daughter of what happened earlier. He thought that she was really in the meeting to replace Long Kue and that after the meeting, the two were going their separate ways as Hue Chi has never brought any woman to attend any events previously.

In the hallway, while walking to the dining hall, Yu Sha spoke, "We have a lot to talk later."

"Like?"

"Don"t get me started here. It"s not the appropriate place to get me started?" Yu Sha replied in disdain. If she gets started here, she"ll be too riled up and cause a scene. She practiced a lot with Su Na on holding herself back in events like this so she could control her mouth and behaviors.

Hue Chi chuckled. He never thought being scolded by someone could be this exciting, or is it only from her that he felt this way. Then he remembered when she asked him earlier if they"ve met before, the way she looked at him, the reflections in her eyes, how she touched him is like she meeting her long lost important person for the first time after being separated for decades. Was she pretending not to remember what happened? Or the person who asked him that question was not Yu Sha?

Either way, he felt there is time to probe for more information later. Right now, he has to make his appearances and get out. He, himself never really enjoys these kind of events, but only attend out of duty and obligations.
