87 Not Cute Nor Pretty (2/2)

”My apologies Consort Pan but his highness has asked that no one enter the room but you.” He explained.

”En! Chu'mei, be good and stay here.” With that command, Chu'mei had no choice but to watch her lady enter the room.

The door closed.

Chu'mei looked at her wrist and then at the emotionless Feng Ju. ”You clearly see that I have no intentions of going in. You can let go now. Stop trying to take advantage of me. You're going to ruin my reputation.” she took her frustration out on him.

Feng Ju was a handsome man. No woman has ever talked down to him before. It was only her who dared not respect him. Today he was not going to listen to her. Instead of letting go like a gentleman, he tightened his grip and pulled her towards him. His strength was no joke. Chu'mei's body literally flung over to him. One more step and she would run into his chest.

His cold gaze; Chu'mei felt her body shrink in front of him. The first thing she thought of was, he smelled good. She had lost herself for a moment.

She blinked a few times.

”What are you doing?” with a shaky voice she asked when his face advanced towards hers.This heavy feeling…she had never felt this uneasy feeling before. So awkward! She had no choice but to look away.

”Not cute nor pretty.” Feng Ju released her. He took a few steps back and crossed his arms.

Not cute? Nor pretty? What was that supposed to mean. Chu'mei got offended. She took a step forward. ”Eh! What is that supposed to mean?” She placed her hands on her hips like an angry wife to a husband who had done wrong.

He shook his head disapprovingly. ”You asked if I was taking advantage of you. And that was my reply.”

”What?” She didn't understand his meaning.

To help her, he put one finger up. ”First, you are not cute in anyway.” A second finger went up. ”Secondly, you are not pretty. I have no reason to take advantage of you.” All of this was said with a straight face.

Chu'mei's whole face turned red; half embarrassed, half angered. ”You lackey! Who cares what you think.” She crossed her hands and turned away. The two of them were stuck waiting outside for their masters but that didn't mean they had to look at each other. Ever since that conversation, their backs were turned away from each other.
