He touch the temple of his forehead, trying to subdue the anger that keeps spilling over.

He's so mad that when Xiang Xia made a greeting to him he didn't budge. But he went straight on his room.

After a week Xiao's s injury is fully healed. Bai Shin Lin send home elder Murong and the kid to the capital.

The camp was getting busybecause it was suppose to be the infamous forest hunting where the men of the family would go hunting on the mountains and the amount they will get will be cooked & shared to everyone. It just like having some kind festival around.

All the men are mandatory to participate while women sends then off. However, Bai Shin Lin as being herself finds the hunting quit amusing. She decided to tag along with the group guided by his highness Xiao on front. Lou Ren takes part also and he was one beside her. She's on standby on Xiao starting that day that he ditch him. She wouldn't let herself get caught by that so she's distancing herself. Xiang Xia seems to attached himself to Xiao more than ever. Well, it's not really of her concern. Lou Ren was beside him. that's all she care. She's so comfortable with the calm aura he's emiting and sometimes when she's bored she lets him sing a song for her. They were like having a date, the two of them.

They were still at the foot of the mountain when a loud yell came. It's from Xiao's fans. Ladies who tag along just to see him. And when he shot a deerthey cheer on him .Actually the yell was so loudthat her eardrums almost went numb. Men felt jealous of his accomplishment that they started to feel inferior and frantically look for a prey. With the commotion and competitionshe felt like to join them. Grabbing her bow and arrows she walks past by Lou Ren. ”And where are you off to milady...?” While saying that a hint of doubt flash across his beautiful face. ” I'm gonna catch a bear” she said proudly sticking her nose high up.

”Coming to the hunting alone is pretty dangerous much more catching a prey... Milady please think of your actions before doing them...Leave the hunt to the men.” he dissuade her but her resolve is still and she will gonna catch a bear more than him. ”I will follow you milady...” She stopped him even before speaking. ”Uuh uhhn. You stay here. I'll be back with something”

”Please stop being reckless. His highness was so worried of your actions that he let me watch over you”

Xiao again? What did he take her for. She has no privacy or whatsoever..All his time, Lou Ren was so watchful of her because Xiao ordered him? If he didn't command him, he won't be on her side by that time? Was that the logic behind that? She really taught that it was his genuine feelings that he sticks on her side. All this time she considered him as her first close male friend.

Of course, would this beautiful advisor stick his butt over her!

She turn her back against him with her arrow and bow. She walks faster than before. ” Milady please wait!..”

”Don't worry, bears are pretty hard to catch especially when they are big and sturdy...”Lou Ren felt a sign of relief. Knowing that her ladyship is listening to him even though a little. ”I decided to catch a tiger” she declared with a full confidence. Just that she didn't know where she get the self confidence she was spouting this time. Guess she's just that unstable for the moment.

” Milady please listen ....” she walks him off and find her prey.
