No!
Feng Wu shoved Jun Linyuan away, then swiftly rolled out of his arms. However, with the blood loss and her exhausted mental power, the result of her action was —
With a loud thump, Feng Wu hit the wall of the carriage, which bounced her back into Jun Linyuan’s arms.
“Pfft —”
The crown prince had kept his face straight, but seeing this, he snickered, and the smile reached his eyes.
“Are you playing hard to get now?” Jun Linyuan glanced at Feng Wu in an insouciant manner.
Feng Wu’s cheeks flushed with anger. “No, I’m not!”
Jun Linyuan said, “Didn’t you just throw yourself into my arms?”
Feng Wu’s face turned redder. “No! I didn’t! I didn’t do that!”
Seeing her squirm around in his arms like a little hamster, Jun Linyuan couldn’t help but chuckled again.
Outside, Feng, who was driving the carriage, smiled as well.
The crown prince had been poker-faced since he was little, and as a strict and serious royal prince, he had never laughed like this before.
The crown prince was the same around other people, but when Feng Wu was around, he seemed like a different person – like a real person.
Feng looked up at the sky.
A flock of white birds flew overhead. The sky was clear and bright, and the air smelled pure and fresh.
It was so good to be young.
Inside, Feng Wu wasn’t aware of Feng’s emotions. She was busy glaring at Jun Linyuan with flushed cheeks.
Jun Linyuan, on the other hand, crossed his arms and looked very proud. “You owe me one.”
Hearing that, Feng Wu, who had buried her head in Jun Linyuan’s arms like an ostrich, looked up instantly at those words and asked in a serious tone, “How do I owe you one?”
Jun Linyuan flicked Feng Wu’s forehead with a finger. “If I hadn’t rescued you in time, you’d already be mentally crippled now.”
Feng Wu mumbled, “I didn’t ask you to save me.”
Jun Linyuan glanced at Feng Wu with a half-smile. “So, do you want me to take you back to the Xuanyuan Mansion?”
Feng Wu: !!!
Jun Linyuan’s expression was casual as he looked at her. Feng Wu gritted her teeth and realized that she had to answer that question.
She could only snort feebly. “Fine. Whatever you say.”
With her head lowered and the way she bit her lower lip pitifully like a puppy dog, the girl looked especially adorable.
The crown prince’s big, warm palm was about to land on her head, when she just happened to raise it.
Smack!
His palm made contact with her head with a crisp sound.
Feng Wu covered her head. “Why did you hit me?!”
Jun Linyuan was speechless.
Ahem. Of course he wouldn’t tell her that he had only been about to rub her head. The girl would become too complacent if she knew that. Hmph!
“Why did you hit me?!” Feng Wu pressed.
The crown prince had no choice but to change the subject.
“Give it to me.” He stretched out his hand.
“What?” Feng Wu looked baffled.
With his bright black eyes, Jun Linyuan stared at Feng Wu without blinking. “That old man’s private collection.”
Feng Wu’s stomach lurched!
Those were all real treasures, which she had plans for!
Ever since she paid those hitmen to kill Zuo Qingliu, she had almost no money left. She was broke.
“I have no idea what you’re talking about.” Feng Wu snorted, then looked away.
“Feng, take us back to the Xuanyuan Mansion.”
Leaning against the carriage wall, Jun Linyuan raised his eyebrows slightly. His face was already breathtakingly beautiful, and this expression only added to it.
