135 A young maidens hear (2/2)
At that time, she was still unable to understand whether Jun Mo Xie was an evil man or a good one, but then as an after effect of the trouble that her father and brothers sprouted at the Jun residence, she started asking herself: [So I really fancy bad men? Do I really like him? What is this feeling?]
[This feeling…. Is really, really wonderful...]
In the following days, even though she was afraid since her father and brothers started interfering in these matters, her heart still carried a sense of apprehension. Even though she didn't meet him again for a long while, just the thought of him was enough to make her a little shy, and she started thinking that she fancied him. With these thoughts in her mind, her heart leapt and her face would blush since she would long for their next encounter….
The mind of a young maiden can be very elusive, almost like a poetic dream, full of endless fantasies…. Although Dugu Xiao Yi was a high-borne, she wasn't as arrogant and haughty as some of the other powerful women of the kingdom; her heart was that of a delicate young maiden's, and wasn't very different from that of an ordinary farmer's daughter.
All the interventions and pressure that followed in the succeeding days abruptly forced out these feeling, and made them stronger.
If it hadn't been for the wild speculations of Princess Ling Meng….
If it hadn't been for the naughty interventions of the Dugu Family, then these emotions would have gradually diluted…..
Then, Jun Mo Xie would have only remained a very interesting character in her life… an interesting man and a very reliable person; that's all! Believing that he is just another very interesting man, with passing age and increasing distance, he would've become a transient passerby in her life, who she'd only recall as a faint memory in time to come!
But due to the blend of circumstances, Dugu Xiao Yi suddenly started gripping harder to the thought that Jun Mo Xie was a rare exception, and started becoming so convinced about it, that she slowly built a cocoon around herself….
At the moment when she heard his voice today, her heart suddenly started pounding so hard, that it almost skipped a few beats, and she didn't know how to react since she didn't know how he felt about her. Her face had suddenly started burning and she had even contemplated the idea of running away….
[Do I….. him… really…. Destined to be together?! Oops….. people will think shameful things!] Dugu Xiao Yi's good-looking face was suddenly red.
”Thief Jun, this night has been a real eye-opener for me. Don't even think of doing anything to Miss Dugu!” Ye Gu Han looked at him coldly. [I don't know what means Jun Mo Xie used in order to attract Miss Dugu's high level Xuan beast cub towards himself… but it's undeniable that he only did so to trouble Miss Dugu Xiao Yi.]
[Dugu Xiao Yi's pet's affection for this man is quite obvious: and now that the cub is so attached to Jun Mo Xie, it will undoubtedly make things very uncomfortable for her, in fact it might even put her in harms' way in the future since her pet might seek him again, which is a very dangerous thing!]
In addition to their masters, high-end Xuan Beasts rarely ever develop any kind of attraction towards strangers. Although Ye Gu Han couldn't explain this mystery, and even felt that it was quite incredible, but he was still convinced that the young master Jun must have used some very shameful methods to attract the young cub. What other explanation could there be for this?
”What? Thief? Don't call me a thief!” Jun Mo Xie was somewhat depressed. [Did I bother anyone? Why would he act so blindly, and be so hostile towards me? This isn't fair, ah, I simply didn't do anything. This animal simply jumped into my palanquin and slept off in my arms. I'm a handsome and suave guy, that's a rare thing…. Makes me stand apart!]
[I'm the real victim here…. This isn't fair!]
”Thief Jun, are you refusing to hand over Little White to Miss Dugu?” Ye Gu Han was feeling very fortunate that he was escorting the Young Miss personally, otherwise it would have been hard for her to escape Jun Mo Xie's trap. And if anything untoward happened to the young Miss Dugu, then it would have sprouted a big dispute in the capital. As far as he was concerned, he absolutely needed to stop this thief's conspiracies!
”Ye Gu Han, right? Why would you be so narrow-minded? Anyway, you are the Princess's guard, why would you even intervene in this matter? Who do you think you are, this matter is between me and the young Miss…. Why are you sticking your foot into it?” Jun Mo Xie returned Little White to Dugu Xiao Yi, as he replied to Ye Gu Han, feeling wronged by the man's accusations.
