"You dare to talk back to me!?" Mo Qin Yi was furious as the grip on Qianru"s elbow tightened made her frown uncomfortably."You hurt my Mistress." Liu Wei said unruffled, the tip of his sword touched Mo Qin Yi"s chest.
Liu Wei was aware that his bold action could cause trouble for himself, but he couldn"t let any other man except his master to touch his mistress casually like Mo Qin Yi did. This was part of his responsibility.
In the other hand, Mo Qin Yi shot dagger looked at the insolent guard, who had a big gut to threaten him. He signaled the four guards around him to be ready to attack Liu Wei.
The four guards surrounded the three people with their swords aimed toward Liu Wei.
"Don"t you know?" An evil smirk rose in the corner of his lips. "Hurting a royal family could cost your life?"
Liu Wei"s gaze turned cold as he grew more alert with his surroundings, although his focus was still on the crown prince in front of him.
Actually, Mo Qin Yi wouldn"t be the end of Liu Wei"s sharp blade if he released Qianru, but his pride wouldn"t allow him to be threatened by a low guard like him.
Upon hearing that, Qianru immediately realized what Mo Qin Yi was up to. Her eyes hardened while looking at Mo Qin Yi with disgust, and before he could do anything, Qianru had pushed down Liu Wei"s sword and with her free hand she slapped hard Mo Qin Yi"s face.
Her action was caught all of them out off guard, they would never thought Qianru would be so fierce like that.
A loud sound of skin against skin left them bewildered, even Mo Qin Yi himself still not aware about what had happened when his head forced to look another way.
Only when a sting pain spread on his left cheek, he realized he was slapped by her.
Qianru swatted Mo Qin Yi"s hand away from her and took two steps back, seeing this, Liu Wei stepped forward and shielded Qianru behind his back.
The four guards who were surroundings them became tense, it only needed one small movement from Mo Qin Yi to attack! Regardless of Qianru"s status, she was not in her own country and in Rockstone Kingdom, where a man could have more than one wife, their people didn"t value highly a woman"s life.
This crown prince from Rockstone Kingdom really didn"t have any scruples with his way of conduct!
"May your highness crown prince could conduct himself with dignity." Qianru rigid voice sounded from behind Liu Wei"s back.
From Mo Qin Yi"s line of sight, half of Qianru"s face was covered and it only showed her brilliant and irritated black eyes.
"Did I do something wrong toward you?" Mo Qin Yi folded his arms across his chest, looking at Qianru"s captivated eyes.
"You are not supposed to touch me casually." Qianru"s voice was still as cold as a winter breeze.
Mo Qin Yi laughed his head off when he heard this reason. "You are my childhood friend what wrong with holding your hand? In Rockstone Kingdom it was only a trifling gesture." He looked at Qianru side way while grinning. "Except if you have another idea about that."
The mockery in Mo Qin Yi"s tone was clear, he didn"t regard his action was an offense for Qianru.
Liu Wei really wanted to chop this obscene crown prince"s head off, if he wasn"t a royal family, Mo Qin Yi would definitely have died by now in his hand.
"I am not your friend. I am a wife of Prince Xiao Jun from Azura and in Azura your gesture of touching me is unacceptable." Qianru said sternly.
Something was different about her when she talked in strict manner like this.
Mo Qin Yi was in daze, lost himself in the beautiful fierceness in her eyes. "Qianru…"
"Call me Princess Xiao." Qianru cut off Mo Qin Yi"s word icily.Find authorized novels in Webnovel，faster updates, better experience，Please click for visiting.
A surge of pride and admiration ran in Liu Wei"s veins the moment he heard how his mistress stood her ground and didn"t let this spiteful prince took any advantage of her further.
"My guard only does his job and since you have released me, you can order your guards to put their sword away now. Next time, don"t touch me casually." Qianru swiped her eyes toward the four guards. "Although Rockstone Kingdom is less strict with the norm between male and female compare to Azura, but I am not Rockstone"s people and I hope the crown prince could respect that."
With that being said, Qianru strode away right under Mo Qin Yi"s eyes gracefully, held her head high, she didn"t even spare another glance at him.
The four gourds looked at each other and then Mo Qin Yi, wasn"t sure what they should do. They didn"t receive any order to block Qianru"s way, but there was no order to let her go either. As a result, they were standing on their spot like statue.
However, before Liu Wei shoved those guards away from Qianru"s path, a sweet and sultry voice was sounded from beside them along with light steps of several women.
"What happen here? Why it feels so tense?" Zhao Tianqi along with her five maidservants was approaching them. "Princess Xiao, what had you done to enrage the crown prince"s guards?" She was eyeing the four Mo Qin Yi"s guard who were still holding their sword high, in attack position.
Because Mo Qin Yi was in dazed by Qianru"s fierce behavior, he didn"t realize Zhao Tianqi had been watching them from afar for quite long time.
She watched how Mo Qin Yi held Qianru and insisted to not let her go and also the slap on his face, that scene had infuriated her greatly as if, it was her face that was being slapped, she thought after that Mo Qin Yi would take an extreme measure for Qianru"s brazen act, however until this very second his eyes were still looking at Qianru with infatuation.
