41 Jealousy? (1/2)
The expression of everyone changes when they heard the sharp words of the princess, especially Ming Yue who was called a slut by Yun Yi.
”Y-your highness eldest princess that young lady was my daughter, I just asked her to accompany young master Bai around the city” when Ming Tiankong heard what the princess said, his aged face frowned and he said immediately. He look at his daughter who was lowering her head not daring to look up.
”Oh, so you're the daughter of the city lord” Yun Yi said as she look at Ming Yue up and down, ”You are beautiful, never really expected that a beauty like you would appear in this small city”
Ming Yue still had her head lowered as if she didn't heard what the princess just said. No one noticed but the rim of her eyes were turning watery and cloudy. Biting her lips, she endure not to cry as she remain still.
”Oy, aren't you too harsh on your words towards her?Apologize to her now” Bai Shen said as he holds Ming Yue's hands. He could feel that she was offended when the princess called her slut earlier.When he hold her hands, he could feel her shuddering and then she tightly hold his hands.
Ming Yue gaze Bai Shen a short gaze and smile at him, when Bai Shen saw her smile, he felt that his whole world suddenly shone brightly. Those smile of hers that could bring light even in the darkest hours, it was like the moon giving light in the night.
Seeing the small interaction between the two, the city lord smile inside and said, ”The two of you must be tired right, quickly enter and we will continue in the mansion”
When Yun Yi saw that her fiancee hold the hands of the woman in front of her, her eyebrows frown. The jealousy inside her heart intensifies and she felt she was being treated unfairly by her fiancee. She then enter back into her carriage with a downcast expression.
”You enter here” when Bai Shen was about to mount a horse, they heard a voice from the carriage. Although it never said who it is, they all knew that the princess was pertaining to Bai Shen.
Bai Shen smile helplessly and entered the carriage while Ming Yue mount a horse given by her father.
Inside the carriage nobody talks, Bai Shen, Yun Yi and the maid were all quiet. Although the distance towards the mansion was just a few minutes away, Bai Shen felt that he was inside the carriage for over an hour. The silence and the heavy pressure was making him very uncomfortable. The princess in front of him was staring at him all the time not even blinking.
When they arrive at the mansion, they just ate their dinner and went back to their rooms. Bai Mei was surprised when she saw the princess came with her brother in the mansion. She frowned and just stay silent.
