Chapter 242 - There is not only one who covets Qingxue (2/2)

“Okay.” Shi Baoyou had to answer obediently but didn’t give up. She couldn’t control herself and demanded in a soft voice, “I have a presumptuous request and hope that you can agree, Your Highness.”

Mo Junhao was quite impatient, but he couldn’t show that he was heartless, so he had to ask, “What request?”

Shi Baoyou looked shy again and pointed at the jade pendant on Mo Junhao’s waist, requesting softly, “I hope you can give me something that is close to you, Your Highness.”

Mo Junhao’s eyes fell on his waist as she gestured. That was an ordinary jade pendant, and he often wore it just because he found that its color was nice. It was not valuable, but after all, it was something close to him. It would easily cause some people to gossip if he was careless.

He was hesitant.

Shi Baoyou hurriedly explained, “I don’t covet your possession, but I can’t see you frequently, so I miss you very much. Hope that I can have something to place my feelings on. Please make my wish come true…Your Highness.”

Every man hoped that he could be loved and missed by a beauty, and it satisfied Mo Junhao’s strong vanity.

He made use of the opportunity and agreed, but he didn’t become dizzy because of the beauty. When he took off the jade pendant and gave it to Shi Baoyou, he didn’t forget to remind her. “I can give you the jade pendant, but you need to put it away and can’t give it to anybody else.”

“Your Highness, I would surely take it with me as you give it to me. How would I give it to somebody else?” Shi Baoyou felt sad and looked depressed again because Mo Junhao doubted her in this matter.

However, Mo Junhao didn’t love Shi Baoyou so much, and she annoyed him just now, so he didn’t have the plan to comfort her.

He said something randomly to Shi Baoyou and then told a guard to help her get out of the carriage.

After Shi Baoyou got out, she was sent back to the mansion by Mo Junhao’s guard.

So she didn’t see that a young man got into the carriage from the other side after she left.

The young man walked into the carriage. After seeing Mo Junhao, he didn’t bow to the prince but sat down. What was more, he even joked, “Your Highness, you are so fortunate. One more beauty fell in love with you, and you are so lucky to be loved by pretty girls.”

This man was named Luo Ziyuan, the second legitimate son of the Minister of Penalty, Luo Sen. Meanwhile, he was a secret assistant of Mo Junhao.

He seldom showed up at ordinary times and even pretended that he didn’t know Mo Junhao, but they kept a good relationship in private and were almost like brothers.

Mo Junhao didn’t get angry because Luo Ziyuan didn’t behave. He just leered at Luo Ziyuan coldly and asked impassively, “I can give her to you. Do you want her?”

“Gee!” Luo Ziyuan shouted exaggeratedly and asked purposely, “This is a great beauty. You are willing to give her to me?”

“Why am I not?” Mo Junhao yawned with boredom and didn’t love Shi Baoyou sincerely as he showed in front of her. He played a good role as he turned his back on her.

Even Luo Ziyuan who claimed to be inconstant in love thought that he was inferior to Mo Junhao after seeing that. “That lady may feel sad to death after seeing that you are so heartless.”

Mo Junhao kept silent and agreed that he was heartless.

Luo Ziyuan tut-tutted, “So it appears that she is right as she chose not to have sex with you. Otherwise, after you are intimate with each other, she would be abandoned by you cruelly.”

Right, Luo Ziyuan stood outside the carriage from the beginning and heard every sound inside.

Even though he didn’t see them with his own eyes, he could guess how vivid it had been in the carriage just now.

But he hadn’t expected that Mo Junhao changed his attitude on the spot after Shi Baoyou refused to sleep with him. It was different from this prince’s style as he was always gentle to women.

Mo Junhao sneered. “Who is she? She is just a toy. A toy should behave like a toy. She even wishes to get what she shouldn’t get. So I should teach her a lesson.”

He would lure her and then beat her. That was it.

“Aren’t you afraid that she won’t get back to you after you treat her cruelly?”

Mo Junhao shrugged.

To be honest, he wasn’t afraid at all.

Shi Baoyou had refused to have sex with him, but what she said and did could show that she loved him to the bone. How would she give him up so easily?

Even if Shi Baoyou gave him up, it didn’t matter.

From the beginning, he just wanted to flirt with Shi Baoyou, and the result was not important.

After realizing Mo Junhao’s plan, Luo Ziyuan looked astonished. Then he criticized in his heart after quite a while, “Asshole.”

“Gee, since you are so clear-minded, why can’t you forget Lady Qingxue alone?” Luo Ziyuan asked in confusion.

Although in the eyes of the shrewd people, the fourth prince Mo Junhao tried his best to pursue Shi Qingxue all the time must because of Shi Junhe’s influence, Luo Ziyuan stayed with Mo Junhao most of the time and saw everything clearly.

Mo Junhao did fall in love with Shi Qingxue.

“Qingxue…” Mo Junhao called Shi Qingxue’s name and looked in a daze for a moment.

His eyes were blank, and he seemed to be lost in his memories and could hardly come back to reality. After a long while, he murmured and sighed deeply, “She is really different. I don’t know what to say, but to me, she is different from the other women.

“In the beginning, I thought that she was obstinate and even spoilt, but I don’t know since when she seemed to shine.

“She didn’t insist on staying with me all day long. She is confident, smart and graceful. Although she is still arrogant, she isn’t annoying at all.”

Mo Junhao thought of Shi Qingxue, with a smile on his lips and tenderness on his face.

Luo Ziyuan had sharp eyes and instantly found that Mo Junhao loved her, which was greatly different from his insincerity to others.

However…

“Your Highness, don’t forget that now not only you want to marry Lady Qingxue. Weren’t you unwilling to have a conflict with His Excellency all the time in the past and even planning to steal him from the crown prince? If you do something to win Shi Qingxue, I am afraid that it will be difficult to draw His Excellency over to your side, right?”

Luo Ziyuan reminded him calmly. From the beginning, he didn’t approve of Mo Junhao marrying Shi Qingxue.

After all, if Mo Junhao wanted to get the power of the Shi Army, he had many ways, and even ruining Duke Shi’s family was a good way!
