Chapter 391: His Highness’ Concern
Translator: Larbre Studio Editor: Larbre Studio
The little one was excited to hear about the Haunted Night and started leaping around behind the man. Black mists formed from resentment were emitted from the bottle gourd he was carrying. “I want to observe the Haunted Night! Ah, I understand it now, she will only be back during the Haunted Night, am I right!?”
The man hummed once again, his deep voice slowly disappeared in the faint breeze…
The Trading Compound was bustling as the night drew in. Yun Biluo stood in the lobby on the first floor. Unlike Helian Jiao Er, she did not show any sense of superiority and she was more gentle.
Therefore, she blended in with everyone nicely.
In addition, since she was not in good health, her face was pale and this caused others to feel obligated to take care of her.
Therefore, the Superior Compound’s students were heart-wrenching when they saw that she was trying to hold back her tears.
The main reason was that the person standing in front of her was not anyone else but Baili Jia Jue who was going to choose his secondary consort.
“Your Highness, it was my fault.” Yun Biluo looked at Baili Jia Jue with her beautiful, teary eyes, “You can punish me in any way, but please don’t ignore me.”
A few of Yun Biluo’s friends from the Superior Compound came with her as they were planning to have some tea in the teahouse. They were not expecting to see the Third Prince.
Based on Sister Yun’s words, it seemed like she indeed had a complicated relations.h.i.+p with the Third Prince… No wonder there were rumors that Sister Yun was someone special to the Third Prince.
They thought that the rumors were fake after they saw how cold the Third Prince treated Sister Yun.
Now, it seemed like the Third Prince’s coldness toward Sister Yun was because he cared about their past too much.
Due to Yun Biluo’s faithfulness and Third Prince’s coldness, it was gut-wrenching for the spectators.
“Get off.” Baili Jia Jue’s tone was light as if he was totally unconcerned.
Yun Biluo’s eyes were teary but she resisted her tears from falling down. She looked at Baili Jia Jue with stubbornness. She knew that he liked women who would listen to him since he was young.
However, only those who defy him would cause him an impulse to conquest.
“What do you want me to do for you to forgive me?”
As she was talking, her gaze flashed past behind Baili Jia Jue lightly and brightened up suddenly. Her voice became even gentler and she gave out a radiant smile. “I will never give up until you are willing to forgive me. I will always be by your side and protect you.”
Yun Biluo’s voice was not soft. Many were moved by her words.
Helian Wei Wei who was walking into the teahouse with Heize heard her too.
Heize listened to her words mischievously and turned to look at Helian Wei Wei at his side, “Are you really not doing anything about this?”
Helian Wei Wei looked at the two in the middle of the lobby without changing her expression as pain struck her heart. She pressed it down and had no intention to pause her steps. She would not mess up her plan even if she encountered some undesired scenes. She put on a faint smile and continued moving forward as if anyone in front of her did not matter to her.
Heize smiled with mischief and tagged along behind her.
Baili Jia Jue who was standing with his back facing the entrance did not notice Helian Wei Wei. His eyes were dark as night, indifferent yet elegant.
Panic struck Yun Biluo’s heart. Her gaze lit up slightly as if she thought of something. She raised her arm and started waving toward Helian Wei Wei, “Wei Wei!”
She looked very friendly. Those who did not know them would think that they were in very good terms.
On the other hand, Baili Jia Jue’s face finally had some emotions when he heard her name. He frowned slightly and stopped his movement to leave. He turned and looked at Helian Wei Wei first. His gaze was only starting to warm up when he saw Heize beside her. His ink-black eyes which would make girls crazy sink…
Yun Biluo already walked up to Helian Wei Wei at that time. With a gentle smile, she asked, “Why are you here?”
Helian Wei Wei looked at her, her lower lip curved into a smile but her gaze was oddly cold. She clearly asked her not to act to be close to her before this.
As if she forgot, Yun Biluo continued talking to her. Her smile became even gentler when she gazed past Heize, “I saw Wei Wei leaving Master Hei’s carriage that day and I’m seeing Master Hei again today. We must be fated.”
Helian Wei Wei kept quiet. She stared at Yun Biluo’s smile until Yun Biluo could not maintain her fake smile anymore. She lifted her lips and said with a cool tone, “Lady Yun, there are things that shouldn’t be overdone.”
Finished, she did not say anything else. She walked past Yun Biluo and… Baili Jia Jue at the side.
Yun Biluo’s hobby in acting was her own business. Helian Wei Wei did not want to act alongside the ‘pitiful lady’ in her drama. She guessed that His Highness would be more than happy to keep the servant girl that he had been protecting unwittingly company.
She did not think the same. She never had the thought of letting Yun Biluo know anything related to Heize.
She could roughly guess Yun Biluo’s tricks. Since she could not get any advantage from her, she might pick on someone related to her…
Yun Biluo looked at the back of Helian Wei Wei who did not give her face at all; the corners of her mouth curved.
The moment Baili Jia Jue missed Helian Wei Wei’s arm, he cooled down completely. The slight smile from his face disappeared completely as if it were never there.
He felt like his chest was stuffed with cotton. He became vexed without any reason and there was a strong sense of ruthlessness between the movement of his sleeves.
Heize who sensed everything raised his gaze to meet Baili Jia Jue’s.
He sneered internally.
Why is this woman making things hard for herself? I am afraid that she will not have a route to retreat in the future. Will the plans she made earlier be useful?
Perhaps Heize paused for too long, Helian Wei Wei pulled him and went upstairs straight; her expression was as indifferent as water.
Baili Jia Jue who wanted to approach her stood there coldly. His gaze was deep as if there was no end…
He frowned slightly and hid his fingers as beautiful as tusks within his long sleeves. He was unsure whether it was because of the cold weather or because he was outside for too long, causing the ends of his fingers to get cold.
This seemed to happen quite often, especially when he faced Heize.
She was more defenseless than ever.
A soft and gentle light was emitted from the ever cold eyes.
He understood her.
She would never allow anyone to be this close to her if she did not trust him completely.
Even the name she called out when she was drunk previously was related to Heize.
She only hid her secrets deeper in front of him. She never requested his help even when she really needed something. She went to look for an outsider instead…
