Chapter 182: Confrontation (1/2)
Translator: Guy Gone Bad
Suddenly, Murong Xue saw a familiar figure. He had a handsome face and sharp, cold eyes. Clearly, he was Prince Jing, Ye Yichen.
Qin Yuyan was badly hurt. Why didn't he stay in Prince Jing Mansion and take good care of her? Did he also want to go to Mountain Resort?
Murong Xue raised her eyebrows in bewilderment and slowly pulled down the carriage curtain. Before the curtain could completely hide her face, Ye Yichen sensed something and immediately turned to look back. He happened to see her good-looking side face disappear behind the curtain. His eyes narrowed angrily as he realized that she was in Ouyang Shaochen's carriage!
With his eyes burning with anger, he strode towards that carriage.
Before he could come up to the carriage, Xun Feng reached out and stopped him, ”Prince Jing, please don't go any further.”
Ye Yichen stopped and stared at the still curtain, his eyes eyes darkening with disappointment. She knew that he was standing outside the carriage, but was indifferent to him. ”Xue'er, I want to talk to you,” he said.
Murong Xue refused decidedly, ”I have nothing to say to you, Prince Jing. Please go back.”
A trace of anger flashed through his eyes and soon disappeared. He raised his voice, ”Unmarried men and women should stay away from each other. You have no blood relationship with Ouyang Shaochen. So, it's improper for you to ride in the same carriage with him.”
Murong Xue instantly refuted, ”My arm is injured, and I should protect it from secondary damage. The carriage of Lord Freedom Mansion is comfortable. It can offer me a smooth ride, and my wound won't be cracked again.” She was a wise woman who liked enjoyed life and didn't care about what people would think of her. She would absolutely not change the carriage because she was afraid of aggravating the injury.
Ye Yichen's eyes darkened at her words, and he said, ”The carriage of Prince Jing Mansion is also comfortable. You can go...”
Murong Xue interrupted him in a cold tone, ”Prince Jing, I have no relationship with you. It's improper for me to ride in the same carriage with you.”
Ye Yichen looked at the carriage curtain and said in a low voice, ” I'm not going to take the carriage...”
Murong Xue raised her eyebrows and said loudly and clearly, ”In that carriage must be Old Prince Jing and Old Princess Jing. As a junior, I shouldn't disturb them.”
”Old Prince Jing and Old Princess Jing already went to Mountain Resort yesterday,” Ouyang Shaochen suddenly said.
Murong Xue was taken by surprise for a second, and then asked, ”So, who's in the carriage of Prince Jing Mansion now?” When she opened the curtain and looked out of the window a few minutes ago, she caught glimpses of figures in the carriage of Prince Jing Mansion. At that time, Ye Yichen was not in that carriage...
”Qin Yuyan, the Princess of Mo Bei, is in your carriage, right?” asked Murong Xue. Except for Old Prince Jing, Old Princess Jing and Ye Yichen, Qin Yuyan was the only one in Prince Jing Mansion who was eligible to take that deluxe carriage.
Ye Yichen dropped his eyelids with a slight sense of guilt on his face. Qin Yuyan said that the weather was so hot and she wanted to go to Mountain Resort to recuperate. After a careful consideration, he agreed. But he didn't expect to meet Murong Xue here. ”Princess Qin...”
Murong Xue interrupted him in a cold voice, ”Prince Jing, you don't need to explain to me. Princess Qin and you love each other. Of course she can take the carriage of Prince Jing Mansion.”She gave a snort of contempt and thought, 'You know that Qin Yuyan and I are deadly enemies. How dare you ask me to stay in the same carriage with her? Are you trying to add fuel to the fire?'
”Xue'er... ”
”Don't say anything more, Prince Jing. Please go back,” Murong Xue interrupted him impatiently. She closed her eyes and knitted her brows, wearing a look of reluctance to listen to him anymore.
After thinking for a moment, Ye Yichen was about to say, ”I will send Qin Yuyan back to Prince Jing Mansion, and you can take my carriage alone.” However, Xun Feng cut in, ”Prince Jing, the procession sets out.”
