773 To Each Its Own 3 (1/2)
Jun Wu Xie's demeanor really went beyond Lei Chen's expectations. He had thought that since the kid had already voiced his acceptance of his invitation, that would also mean that the youth was also keen in getting closer to him. But after just saying a couple of words, the kid had suddenly lowered his head and became fully absorbed with his cat! !
The smile on Lei Chen's face became a little awkward and Fan Jin had quickly detected Lei Chen's discomfort and sudden awkwardness. He turned his head to look at the cold and distant Jun Wu Xie and suddenly felt a headache coming on.
Although he had known all this time that this Young Miss' personality was not something the average person would find easy to accept, but Lei Chen here was at the very least the Crown Prince, and wouldn't showing someone of his status and position such complete and total disregard in such a blatant fashion deeply embarrass him?
”Cough….. Jun Xie is still very young and is rather shy. I would implore Your Highness to forgive us.” Fan Jin knew at the back of his head that Jun Wu Xie would definitely have an ulterior motive behind her accepting Lei Chen's invitation, but…..
[My dear Young Miss, this person is the Crown Prince for heaven's sake! Even if you are not used to indulging in polite exchanges of formalities, can't you at least say a word or two in acknowledgement? Just leaving Lei Chen's words hanging ominously in the air might be just a tad bit overboard, won't you agree?]
Having experienced the tumultuous incidents from before, Fan Jin had been forced to grow up quite a bit.
”Ah….. A shy personality.” Lei Chen said, rubbing at his chin, his half narrowed eyes glancing over Jun Xie's face. The small face wouldn't exactly be considered highly handsome, but could still be considered to be delicately attractive. Those looks wouldn't be able to compare with the beautiful and alluring Fu Xuan, or the adorably sweet Qu Ling Yue in the slightest, but when that pair of cold distant eyes had swept past him earlier, Lei Chen had somehow felt his heart suddenly miss a beat, as if that one light and fleeting glance had gripped at his heart, causing his eyes to involuntarily glance briefly at that slender waist and those small delicate hands.
At that young age, it was still difficult to differentiate one's body structure to be male or female and that tiny waist did not even seem like it would be able to stand up to a tight embrace from him.
”He sure is.” Fan Jin reaffirmed with a laugh.
”I might have been too forthcoming, I hope I had not frightened little brother Jun.” Lei Chen said with a smile.
Jun Wu Xie did not even lift her eyes in the slightest but Qiao Chu at the side cringed up with goosebumps running up his arms.
[What's with him and his little brother Jun! ?]
