17 I WONsT LET YOU GO (1/2)

”MEOW”

[ Little girl, I had an idea... follow me]

after saying that, Janus who transformed back to being a cute little black cat, started to run. To catch every ones attention, he even chose to run in the middle of the group of palace maids causing them to be startled. They step aside one by one unconsciously and stand apart giving the cat some space.

Mu Lingxi was not sure what exactly is the plan but since she don't have any other better idea in mind, she started to follow her running cat.

”Sorry,... ooopppss sorry,... excuse me... I have to go...” she said as she made her way between the standing palace maids, running to catch up with her cat Janus. Occasionally bumping to some of the palace maids along her way since she was running while trying to cover her face afraid that if they stare any longer, they will remember how she looks.

The master and cat duo just left like that while the remaining people on the scene was left standing with mouth agape. The beautiful lady just come and go without giving any explanation so they shifted back their attention to Prince Long Yue who just like them was also dumbfounded for the sudden turn of events.

”I really don't know her and there is nothing going on between us. I just had an argument with her. That's all.” Prince Long Yue explained hurriedly as he saw how Madam Choi look at him.

Madam Choi might be a simple palace maid, but for Long Yue, she was like his second mother and he can't bear to see Madam Choi misunderstood him. So even though he was a prince, he felt like he needs to give her some explanation.

Madam Choi knew Prince Long Yue better than anyone. Maybe even better than how Concubine Lin, Prince Long Yue's biological mother, knows her son. Seeing the young prince expression, as if a child who was being accused wrongly, Madam Choi's heart as a mother butt in. Although she was still a maiden and don't have a son of her own, she already treated this prince as her own son.

Being the one who technically watch how Long Yue grew up, she knew if Prince Long Yue was lying or not. And right now she feel that he was telling the truth. She believes him right away.

”I know that the young prince was saying the truth. Now, we have to leave and go back to the banquet. Everyone was waiting for you” Madam Choi replied.

Hearing Madam Choi's reply, Prince Long Yue heaved a sigh of relief.
