Chapter 249: Extremely Ridiculous (1/2)
Even though I was rescued by Pei Rumo in the end, it was because he had some use for me. Bai Luochu raised her eyebrows and stared at Pei Wuchen.
Bullshit. My nominal fiancé had such deep sentiments for another woman and he even pledged his undying love for her. If he didn’t need to apologise in her stead, he probably wouldn’t bother about my existence.
Pei Wuchen was embarrassed after hearing Bai Luochu and his face was flushed red. He was at a loss of what to do as even though he said that Feng Wan’er had a smooth sailing life, he hadn’t experienced much hardship himself. Putting aside the fact that he was an imperial prince of the Cloud Water Nation, due to his exceptional talent at a young age, he was chosen as the last disciple of the Phoenix King Valley Master. If he had anything to worry about, it would be fighting over the throne after his Emperor Father dies. However, his ability was lacking when it came to matters involving the nation, stressing him out even more. Even the women in the capital city had nothing to say about Pei Wuchen compared to his brothers when it came to political achievements.
After being criticized by Bai Luochu, Pei Wuchen didn’t know what to say.
Bai Luochu noticed that Pei Wuchen was silent and she chased him out. “Does Your Third Highness have anything else to say? Please leave if you have nothing else to say. I am very tired and wish to rest.” Bai Luochu spoke and turned around to leave.
“Wait a moment.” Pei Wuchen called out to Bai Luochu. Bai Luochu turned around and asked politely, “Yes? Your Third Highness can speak freely. I am listening.”
“You are getting too close to my First and Second Brother these few days. If possible, please keep your distance from them. After all, you are my nominal fiancée. If you grow too close to them, tongues might wag and it won’t be beneficial for either of us.”
After hearing what he said, Bai Luochu had the urge to strangle Pei Wuchen. If it wasn’t for the fact that she couldn’t clear up the aftermath, she would have already made her move.
Now he thinks about the engagement between us...
“I don’t really understand the meaning behind Your Third Highness’ words. I have a good relationship with the First Prince because of his life saving grace from the Bestial Battle Arena. If I fail to reciprocate, people might think that I am an ingrate.”
“As for my relationship with His Second Highness, everything started after he risked his life to save me in the Falling Cloud Mountain Range. Why can’t we get to know each other better?”
Pei Wuchen obviously didn’t expect for Bai Luochu to treat him this way. He was rather shocked and didn’t know what to say.
She is reasonable... She suffered so much and as her nominal fiancé, apart from feeling that she wasn’t suitable for me and silently acknowledging Feng Wan’er’s actions, I failed to do anything for her.
