Chapter 48 - Cutting the Backway

Wei Ruo Yi walked slowly in front while Xiao Jin An followed behind with a slight smile on his face. It was neither fast nor slow, neither arrogant nor impatient.

After they had walked out of the secluded corridor, a person landed gracefully from a tree outside the corridor.

Xiao Jin held a piece of red leaf in his mouth, and watched Wei Ruo Yi's leaving figure thoughtfully. Then, he took out the few autumn dates and the few exquisite pastries he had hidden in his bosom. He sneered, and threw all the things under the tree, then patted the bits and pieces of leaves on his hands and left.

Don't remember him?

She was pretty good at lying! He was so angry that he broke a few branches in the process!

What was this? Water quality Yanghua, see one loves one, and then throw another? Even though he was young, he had quite a few playthings!

To think that he was afraid that she would be hungry waiting for Esteemed Empress Chen here, and that she had lost a lot of blood previously, so he brought autumn dates and pastries here to fill her stomach with hunger and replenish her blood. However, he didn't know that she was such a heartless and uninterested person who was full of lies.

It could be said that he recognized her true appearance today, like a mountain high above the water, like an endless ocean. They would never see each other again in the future.

This was exactly what she wanted. Anyway, she had previously said that they would never have anything to do with each other ever again!

Don't remember? Hehe! To think that she was able to say it out loud!

Wei Ruo Yi walked to the bustling place of the Red Leaf Courtyard and felt that he seemed to have been fooled.

Wherever she went, Xiao Jin An would follow close behind and instantly attract everyone's attention.

What did that mean?

Every step she took had Fourth Prince accompanying her. Even if she went to pay respects to the Esteemed Empress Chen, the Fourth Prince would follow her. Wasn't that just announcing that there was something going on between them?

Don't be like that!

In the beginning, Wei Ruo Yi had only guessed this. If she walked a little slower, Xiao Jin An would warn her from behind, ”Chong'an, be careful.”

”Huh?!” Wei Ruo Yi suddenly felt goosebumps all over his body. When he was in that quiet corner earlier, he had called her Chong'an County Lord. But now, he had already automatically removed the two words ”County Owner”.

She really wasn't familiar with him!

If his gaze was truly sharp like a blade, Wei Ruo Yi felt that his path here was riddled with holes.

Those small eyes that had been filled with envy, jealousy, and hatred for her, wished that they could instantly turn her into a sieve.

The purpose of this Red Leaf Great Assembly was clear. If no one else followed her, or accompanied her to the Esteemed Empress Chen, what did this mean? People with eyes, people with brains.

She had been scammed silently by someone …

”Actually... What I just said was infuriating! ” Wei Ruo Yi looked back and said to Xiao Jin An who was standing behind her, ”About that, I still remember His Highness the Fifth Prince. I just had an argument with him, that's why I didn't want to talk to him. ”
