Chapter 41 – Prince got to know The Evil Prince and his Precious Wife The Sly Lady (1/2)
Listening to his explanation, Murong Xue was speechless, Murong Ye was only older than her by an hour, and he was just a fourteen year old kid; it was difficult for him to take the role as a parent and at the same time also be a matchmaker.
She took a gaze at him and asked him softly: “Are you done talking? If you are, you may leave now, and also bring Gu Haoyu with you……”
“No wait.” Murong Ye was shocked and replied: “It took me a lot of effort to choose such a great future brother-in-law!”
“I’m not interested with him!” Murong Xue shook her head.
“Even if you aren’t interested in him, you still have to talk to him since he has already come to visit!” Murong Ye smiled.
Murong Xue looked at him and said: “I have nothing to talk with him!”
“You can ask about how his parents are doing, or if he is busy with work and so on… I tried so hard to invite him to come; it’s ill-mannered if you just ask him to leave like this…..”
Murong Ye pulled Murong Xue to Gu Haoyu and smiled: “Both of you have a little chat first, I’ll go and check with the kitchen servants to see whether the high-tea is ready to serve.”
He left both of them without saying another word.
Murong Xue looked at Gu Haoyu and sighed: “My brother is such a dandy, sorry for the disturbance, please let me lead you to the main door perhaps!”
Gu Haoyu was shocked by her words, but his expression return to calm almost immediately and he smiled: “After you, Miss Murong!”
Murong Ye looked on as his sister and Gu Haoyu left. He felt depressed as he merely wanted them to have a chat.
His world was crushed completely as his hard work and efforts were completely stomped beneath his sister’s feet, as if it was nothing.
A ray of sunlight sparkled up the road, Murong Xue was still silent and even in their stroll, the atmosphere was filled with a slight discomfort as it was too quiet.
After a while, Gu Haoyu could not stand the silence any longer, and started to state out his intentions, “To tell you the truth, the reason why I’m here today was not purely out of your brother’s kind invitation, I am willing to come over by myself because I’ve heard so much about you and I admire you, Miss Murong, so I’m here to meet you personally.”
“Admire me?” Murong Xue exclaimed, she looked at Gu Haoyu in disbelief, “Have we met before this?” In her memory, there was no one like this man standing in front of her right now; she had only met a few people since her arrival at Qing Yan.
“Of course! I first saw you when you broke off your engagement which shocked everyone in their seats during the banquet dinner by Prince Jing.” Even now, he still remembered the scene vividly in his mind, the girl who was once as gentle as a dove changed into a completely different person- a brave girl with such strong courage that even the mighty sun loses its power.
Murong Xue was stunned for a moment, as her eyes blinked quickly she tried to recall back to that night. She was busy entertaining Ye Yichen and Qin Yu Yan then and did not manage to see who was in the hall. “Gu gongzi, don’t you have a slight judgmental thought about my misbehavior?”
That night, she had gathered up her courage and announced the breakoff of her engagement with Prince of War (Ye Yichen) in front of everyone, her family and friends were enraged by her actions!
“Why would you think so? Just as you mentioned, you’re the first daughter of Zhen Manor, how can you marry a person like that? It was Ye Yichen loss to overlook your positive traits, my lady.” Gu Hao Yu praised her while looking at her with pure adoration in his eyes.
“Oh, how sweet of you to say that, Mr. Gu!” Murong Xue smiled in bliss, Gu Haoyu who had lost himself in her beauty, blurted out, “Miss Murong, actually, I…”
Suddenly, three men in black attacked him out of nowhere, cutting his conversation.
