Chapter 320 - A Loud and Clear Slap (2/2)

“No, I don’t!” Feng Mei argued in a great flurry.

She had a grudge against Mo Xiangbin but didn’t want Mo Junhao to be critical of her, so she hurriedly pretended to be pitiful and grabbed Mo Junhao’s sleeve.

She shook it gently and still looked sad. “Junhao, I was too angry just now. I am His Majesty’s future daughter-in-law, yet how can he be partial to Shi Qingxue? He would even make me lose face in public. I was mad so I just made a few complaints. I didn’t mean it. Junhao, please believe me.”

Mo Junhao pulled back his sleeve indifferently. “I have reminded you for several times not to offend Shi Qingxue, but you provoked her repeatedly. You are inferior to her in shooting skills, and you have lost, yet why did you blame Father? Should he say something against his conscience for your dignity? Then where would his dignity as an emperor be put?”

He said a lot and made it clear that Feng Mei brought trouble to herself.

However, it was not what made Feng Mei sad most. What irritated her most was Mo Junhao’s tone.

His tone was disdainful, as if Feng Mei were good for nothing.

Feng Mei thought that she was smart, so she was conceited, and she had never been taunted in this way since childhood. Moreover, the man she loved most helped another woman scoff at her.

Feng Mei exploded at once and forgot that she was always gentle and lovely in front of Mo Junhao, shouting in a rage, “I think that you still miss Shi Qingxue, that bi*ch. It is fine that His Majesty is partial to her, but you are going to marry me. Why do you still miss that bi*ch? She doesn’t love you. You…”

“Shut up!”

“Clap!”

A slap and Mo Junhao’s angry reproach appeared at the same time, and then it fell into silence.

Feng Mei covered her right face and looked at Mo Junhao in disbelief. He looked ghastly pale and also stared at his left hand, seeming to be furious, yet he didn’t understand why he beat Feng Mei.

After a long while, Feng Mei asked in a trembling voice, “You beat me?”

Her voice was fragmented and sorrowful.

Mo Junhao softened at once and grabbed Feng Mei’s hand, explaining in panic, “No, Mei, I didn’t mean it. Don’t take it to heart…”

As he comforted her, she got more emotional.

It didn’t smooth down Feng Mei’s anger, but she had tears in her eyes and cried to denounce him. “You beat me! Nobody dares to beat me since my childhood, yet you dare to beat me because of that bi*ch…”

Hearing the word “bi*ch”, Mo Junhao felt that the blue veins on his forehead were trembling.

However, even though he didn’t feel happy after hearing Feng Mei’s words, he knew her current status and had to comfort her. “I didn’t. I just got angry as you said whatever you wanted…

“Mei, think about it. You are going to be my wife. In the future, most of the time, your every word and action can even represent me. If you say anything recklessly, what will others think about you and me? Even though you don’t care about what others think about you, don’t you care about your fiance?”

Mo Junhao said in a gentle voice and combined hard tactics with soft. He even threatened and lured Feng Mei with the title of the fourth prince’s wife which she thought about every day and night.

Feng Mei was inexperienced, so she was comforted immediately. She didn’t blame Mo Junhao who had beaten her but apologized in a hurry for her speaking recklessly. She promised that she would pay attention to her statements and actions all the time in the further and wouldn’t make her fiance lose face.

Mo Junhao kissed Feng Mei’s head gently at once and expressed with affection, “I know that you are the only person who cares about me most.”

What he said made Feng Mei highly delighted and dizzy.

Afterward, Mo Junhao said a few words and then easily lured Feng Mei who was happy and brainless back to her mansion.

Shi Qingxue had watched these people’s affected manners and felt bored.

If they didn’t block her only way, she wouldn’t waste time overhearing them.

Shi Qingxue had to wait till all people left, so then she could walk out under the big tree and run away.

After Mo Junhao persuaded Feng Mei to leave, he still stood in the middle of the road, with his head lowered, lost in thought. Nobody knew what he was thinking about. Anyway, it appeared that he wasn’t going to leave.

Shi Qingxue got impatient while waiting, but she heard Mo Junhao’s deep voice suddenly. “Why not come out?”

Shi Qingxue was speechless.

She looked around by instinct and wondered which warrior would hide under a big tree and overhear like her.

She didn’t see anybody. Then she peeped that Mo Junhao suddenly turned to the big tree where she was hidden. “I know you are hiding there. Come out now.”

Qingxue was frightened and shrank by instinct to hide behind the tree, yet then she was surprised at why she did that.

She didn’t overhear intentionally. Why didn’t they find a good place to hide and talk about secrets but chose such a path for people to walk and forced her to stay here, unable to leave?

Shi Qingxue had confidence instantly and walked out under the tree, going to Mo Junhao. Then she asked casually, “Your Highness, what can I do for you?”

Mo Junhao was shocked to see Shi Qingxue. He knew that somebody was overhearing behind the tree, and he was prepared to kill that person who might produce evidence against him, yet he had never expected that this person would be Shi Qingxue. He blurted out in surprise, “Why is it you?”

Shi Qingxue was confused after hearing this question and thought, “Why can’t it be me?”

However, she always didn’t want to say more to Mo Junhao, so she expressed directly, “Your Highness, if you have nothing to say, I will go to visit His Majesty in his residence first.”

When she took only one step, her wrist was grabbed by Mo Junhao, and she was pulled back.

Qingxue was alert and resisted with her hand, so she wouldn’t rush into Mo Junhao’s arms.

“Do you want to go after hearing my secrets? How can it be so easy? Hmm?”
