Vol 7 Chapter 1 (1/2)

Book 7 Chap 1 – So near and yet so far

As everyone in the hall waited expectantly, Ji Yanran flitted in and acco her is the current expert of astronomy, his old friend Zou Yan

Ji Yanran has lost soht but it has not affected her beauty at all Besides, her freshness and purity is soainst

Zhao Ya and Zhao Zhi are all outstanding beauties but when compared to her, they immediately paled in comparison

There’s a little more sadness in Ji Yanran’s pretty eyes, and who knows if it may be because she misses him

Zou Yan on the other hand looks energetic as he accompanied Ji Yanran into the main hall

Xiang Shaolong was afraid that Ji Yanran would recognize his build so he hurriedly hid behind Zhao Ba and Zhao Zhi

Zhao Mu as duained his senses and stepped forward, saying loudly, “Welco”

Everyone can’t help but lean nearer towards the entrance, to take a look at this beauty famed for her looks and intellect

Xiang Shaolong was instead pushed out of the way

Zhao Zhi’s voice rang next to his ear, “Mister Dong!”

At this tiuests one by one and Xiang Shaolong was startled as he turned around to look at Zhao Zhi as behind hi as she stared deeply at hi to say?”

Zhao Zhi replied gently, “Mister looks really like so Jun has only leaked a little news, he did not reveal everything at all so he pretended to look interested and asked, “Would that be Miss Zhao’s lover?”

His words are obviously teasing as he knows that Zhao Zhi will definitely not be able to take it and he’ll thank his lucky stars if she will henceforth ignore him However, Zhao Zhi’s pretty face blushed instead as she lowered her head with shyness She suddenly shook her head and walked away

Ji Yanran’s laughter could be heard tinkling fro out in cold sweat What is this all about? Isn’t Zhao Zhi in love with Jing Jun? Then why does she look as if she has feelings for hi Jun’s rival in love? If she doesn’t like Jing Jun, why is she returning his letters?

Just as he was feeling numb, it was now Zhao Ya’s turn to look for him

Zhao Ya had an obviously jealous expression yet she pretended to be nonchalant and said, “Everyone is in a hurry to get to know Ji Yanran but why is Mister hiding here?”

Xiang Shaolong’s hatred towards her was still strong so he deliberatelyin a coarse voice, “I aly attractive to woet close to s so it’s better that I stay away”

Zhao Ya was stunned on hearing it To think that there is such a thick-skinned man in the world ill boast of his charm towards women, especially when the recipient of his speech is a wo herself because she could not resist his lure?

She als won’t listen to her, insisting on staying put Even though he insulted her, she seems to feel a masochistic joy in it

Looking at how uncertain and sad her pretty face looked, Xiang Shaolong felt a sense of acco women, because once those wouarantee that they will not be able to leave me Hai! That would really be a headache”

Zhao Ya was absolutely flabbergasted There’s not a single person whom she has just met would dare to say such shas this person has said so to the core ever since she

She was absolutely confused and unconsciously said, “But all et Learned Lady Ji’s heart and body, why is Mister the only exception?”

Xiang Shaolong found it very interesting to make fun of her and replied with a smile, “People say that talent can arouse jealousy, I think that this sounds very reasonable If I o of me, we’ll certainly incur the jealousy of others Won’t it bring unnecessary trouble that will be disadvantageous toup the family business here That’s why I can only suppress my lust Hai! To tell you the truth, back in Chu, I ht!”

Zhao Ya blushed on hearing that but at the same time felt a ridiculous sense of wild excitement She lowered her head and said, “Has Mister always been so direct in your talks omen whom you’ve just met?”

Xiang Shaolong was secretly finding this funny as he replied, “I’ve always spoken from my heart towards women You can excuse yourself if you don’t like to listen, I’ve always been like that”

Zhao Ya’s sense of self-respect could not tolerate this any further and she replied angrily, “Mister does not respect how a girl feels at all, ould be able to tolerate such talk”

Xiang Shaolong saw that the attention of everyone else were all centered on Ji Yanran and no one took notice of them at all so he chortled, “Wos, you can tame them into obedient creatures Hei! Horses that I have taken a liking to, every single one of them will ultimately surrender to my whip”

These words are even er and replied angrily, “Mister is too overbearing towards wo thes at all?” But in her heart she was confused, unable to determine what kind of a person is this horse fanatic At one entleman who does not chase after women, the next moment he’s suddenly like a sex maniac

Xiang Shaolong secretly thought that he’s h and said nonchalantly, “To me, horses have better arded so their minds”

Zhao Ya was stunned, for these words seemed to have stirred the pain in her heart

Xiang Shaolong realized that Zhao Zhi was peeping at hist the crowd so he winked at herher so furious that she hurriedly turned her head away

Zhao Ya noticed it and she asked with furrowed brows, “What has Mister spoken to Zhao Zhi about?”

Xiang Shaolong was thinking that it was none of her business, since he did not even ask her what did she and Marquis Pingshan spoke about He went near her ears and said, “She is a wild horse, and Lady is another horse”

This time Zhao Ya has finally reached the end of her patience and she suddenly looked livid and was about to repri, “Mister Dong Kuang has gone over that side, Miss Ji would like to get to know tonight’s star!”

Everyone turned around to look towards the two of them

Xiang Shaolong cast awith a ser It’s best that from now on Zhao Ya will lose her interest in him, which would save him a lot of unnecessary trouble

Hai!

If she could just cultivate herself by staying at hoive her, but now it’s a totally different ed to squeeze past the crowd to reach Zhao Mu’s side

Ji Yanran’s pretty eyes landed on hileam suddenly darted past but when she noticed that it’s not Xiang Shaolong, her eyes dies in her expression were obvious

Xiang Shaolong forced the feelings of excite pays his respect to Miss Ji and Mister Zou”

Ji Yanran regained her senses and returned his boith a s heard of Mister’s name Yanran is also a horse lover, I must seek Mister’s advice if the opportunity arises”

Xiang Shaolong feels the regrettable feeling of her being so near and yet so far! He secretly thought that if he doesn’t make use of this rare opportunity to secretly make her understand, he’ll need to spend a lot more trouble in future If she could not find hione to Qin and thus make her way there, they would have missed the chance to meet

He immediately nodded his head and replied, “How can I live up to Miss’s praise I’ve heard of Miss Ji’s excellent horse na, and wonder if you can me see it and it would be an eye opener for me”

Ji Yanran and Zou Yan were equally startled

Ji Yanran was iized as her pretty eyes stared at hily as she said, “If Mister is free, why don’t you co and I can learn from your expertise”

Everyone around the They did not expect that this person would be able to have the chance to interact with this rare beauty in close proxi horses
