Chapter 74 Part 2 — Which hand of yours slapped her? (1/2)

”Apolo-… apologies… I-it wasn't on purpose.”

Who knew that Feng Lingran would suddenly grap her arm and stare intensely at her with his dark eyes.

”I… I…”

Not waiting for Xiao Xi to finish.

Feng Lingran said, ”Ben w.a.n.g will settle this with you later.”

Ah?

Xiao Xi was slightly dumbfounded, what did Feng Lingran mean ah?

He can't possibly want to settle the scores with her for b.u.mping into him right?

She suddenly recalled Zi Yi's parting words. Her heart palpitated, could it be that Feng Lingran… really recognise her?

”What happened?”

Feng Lingran's gaze drifted to the handprint on Xiao Xi's face. His eyes flashed with an indescribable emotion.

The guard thought that Feng Lingran wanted to punish Xiao Xi, so he hurriedly said, ”Replying to the Regent, it was all this dancer's fault. She had first came to the courtyard wearing very little, wanting to serve you, but this small one had drove her away. Who knew that she had a hidden grudge with Miss Yun, when Miss Yun came out, she mocked and even hit Miss Yun.”

Xiao Xi was stunned when the guard started spouting nonsense.

”Ling Ran, it's wasn't like this. I only wanted to see if you had came back yet? Not to mention, I don't even bear a grudge against her, it was her who had slapped me first, that's why I retaliated.”

Xiao Xi almost bite her tongue in regret when she finished. Feng Lingran was already suspecting her to be the little fox, now that she made a move, it was the same as confirming it!

Xiao Xi sneaked a glance at Feng Lingran, at the same time, his gaze also moved towards her, staring at her. Xiao Xi hurriedly looked away and lowered her head.

”Presumptuous! How can the Regent's name be called by the likes of you?” The guard heard Xiao Xi being so arrogant and shouted.

Shocked at the Guard's sudden raised tone, Xiao Xi once again fell into the arms of Feng Lingran. Her watery black eyes stared at him, as if she was a frightened little fox.

Yun Shaofu suddenly had the urge to tear Xiao Xi's mouth apart, even she didn't dare to call him the Regent, Lingran. This lowly dancer think she could enter Feng Lingran's eyes just because she was slightly pretty?

Feng Lingran calmly spoke to guard, ”Ben w.a.n.g just heard that you wanted her to leave a hand behind, which hand were you referring to?

Xiao Xi glanced at Feng Lingran in fear. H-he he he… what did he mean by this? Did he really want to chop her hand off?

The guard immediately replied, ”She hit Miss Yun with her right hand, so this small one will cut her right hand off.”
