Not even a minute later, Hue Chi came out of his room with a robe on. "What is it? It was just about a minute ago that you flew out." That was not enough time for him to be fully dressed, so he threw on a robe, the quickest way to not be half naked. Her reaction felt more like she was shyer than being fazed by his toned, beautiful body, which takes away the joy of teasing her. Meaning, she would still react the same if the man was someone else, her natural blushed embarra.s.sed reaction.Eager for answers, she asked, "You"re not using your power?"
He nodded slightly and replied, "Mm…"
"What made you change your mind?" Yu Sha wanted to know so she could convince him not to use his ability when she"s around.
"Why?"
"Just want to know." She replied honestly.
Hue Chi thought of the words the elderly woman said. The woman that was Yu Sha"s grandma. What does she mean if he uses his power and Yu Sha uses hers, something bad will happen to Yu Sha? Since then, he"s been afraid of the unknown but a part of him also wanted to know what will actually happen. He does not always use his ability all the time, only from time to time and used it most often when Yu Sha is around in order to detect her movement. But since then, he has yet to use his ability. "I rarely use it, except the last two times."
Huh?! So, I misunderstood that he uses his ability all the time? He doesn"t always use it? Yu Sha was dumbfounded at why she came to such a conclusion before confirming with him. She spent too much energy thinking of ways to get even with him that she didn"t even bother confirming some stuff with him. Also, she has a tendency to jump to conclusions without any detective work behind her conclusion.
Hue Chi glanced at her, "You, do you really want to make people raise their shield against you?" He was referring to what she did at Prestique Shopping Mall that is frequent by the Royals, Elite Social Circle and other wealthy families. Ordinary citizen can"t even afford to go there. Prestique was owned by Tatsuo Xiang, another member of the Social Elite Circle who was present at the meeting earlier in the week. A location that often host high society events. Tatsuo Xiang owns a third of real estate business and buildings across Aires.
"Tsk… They already raised their shield against me. Might as well do something worthy for them to."
Yu Sha replied arrogantly. It was originally his fault that they raised their shields against her. And now, why doesn"t he even feel bother a bit by what she did. Wouldn"t it look bad to the Royal Family when an outsider treats those less fortunate better than the royals?
"I can reimburse you. It was matters of my country, should be resolved by me."
"I didn"t do it to get reimburs.e.m.e.nt from you." Yu Sha replied sternly. She, in a way wanted to do it to irritate him, his mother and the elites. If they are going to spy on her every movement, might as well show herself boldly.
"I know." He replied with a hint of respect behind his tone. He saw her wonderful uplifting speech to the survivors at Harvest. Anyone who still have a bit of humanity left in them would be moved.
Suddenly there is commotion outside the penthouse door. A woman"s voice ordering the security guard to open the door.
Soon, the door flung open. The security guard couldn"t stop but only said, "Your Highness," and allow the Queen to go inside.
Straight down the short hallway was the living area, where she saw Yu Sha and her son, Hue Chi standing looking at each other. What is going on? Now this time, my son is in bathrobe? The Queen panicked. Is that really my son? Worried, she darted towards them fuming angrily. She called him but he didn"t pick up and after threatening everyone, she is finally here. She wanted to discuss matter of Yu Sha to him, but she didn"t think Yu Sha was already back.
"Hue Chi!" The Queen shouted. "Did you purposely ignore my call?"
"Queen Mother, I didn"t have my phone with me for the last couple of hours." Hue Chi, often referred his mother as Queen Mother in front of others and calls her mother when it"s just her or his father.
Long Kue had told her that Prince Hue Chi is on his undisturbed time and the time is not up yet but still she insisted on seeing him. So, she came all the way to see him not expecting to see him still in bathrobes this time of day.
"Hue Chi, I need to talk to you." The Queen irked her face at Yu Sha wanting to have some privacy with just her son.
Yu Sha understood and left to her room. She could guess what the Queen wanted to discuss with Hue Chi but she could care less. It"s not like he"s someone important to her. They"re just bound by a contract because he caught her doing something unsighty. She just wants to serve her time so that he can drop what she did.
Seeing that Yu Sha disappeared into her room, the Queen started, "Why is she here? Why do you allow her to be here with you?"
"She is doing some work for me."
"Why her? You"ve never allowed any women to work for you?"
Hue Chi didn"t reply except remaining silence. He also wanted to know why he feels comfortable having her around and the more he observed her, the more he comes to like her.
"Did you know what she did today?" She asked unhappily.
"I heard." Rumors spread quick and he"s always on tabs on what she"s doing all the time. So, to make the conversation goes quicker, he didn"t deny.
"Do you have anything to say? If she respects you, she wouldn"t do what she did today. That is a slap in the face to you!" The Queen tries to find flaws and fault in Yu Sha"s action. How one take her actions is a reflection of oneself, not Yu Sha.
"Mother, respect has to be earned."
