“Your Royal Highness, you’ll compensate me for my loss, won’t you?” Feng Wu swayed his arm back and forth.
“Your Royal Highness?” Jun Linyuan snorted.
“Brother Jun~” Feng Wu took the hint right away!
Jun Linyuan glanced at her, then gave a reluctant grunt.
Naturally, Feng Wu wouldn’t let such a great opportunity go to waste. She immediately took out that translucent stone and showed it to Jun Linyuan.
“Your Royal Highness… I mean, Brother Jun, have a look at this stone. Is there anything unusual about it?”
Jun Linyuan glanced at the stone, then turned his cold gaze to Feng Wu. The look in his eyes reminded one of the night sky, which was a mystery that couldn’t be comprehended.
Feng Wu looked confused.
Jun Linyuan snorted. “So, you really did hold something back.”
Instantly, Feng Wu realized what Jun Linyuan meant, and involuntarily tried to put the stone back into her pocket, but —
Jun Linyuan moved quickly and took action first as he grabbed the stone.
“Give it back to me!”
Feng Wu jumped up, trying to take it back.
The stone would lead her to the broken star piece, which was something she cherished more than her own life. She wouldn’t let anything happen to the stone!
Jun Linyuan raised his hand when Feng Wu jumped at him to grab the stone. Needless to say, she fell right into Jun Linyuan’s arms.
Feng Wu wanted to stand up, but realized that she was restrained and couldn’t get up no matter what. She snapped, “Jun Linyuan!”
Jun Linyuan snorted. “Do you want to know the secret of this stone or not?”
“Yes!” A wild cat only a moment ago, Feng Wu turned all gentle and tender the next moment. Holding Jun Linyuan’s arm, she pleaded, “Brother Jun, please tell me. Please~”
The crown prince shifted, then tapped his left shoulder with his right fist.
That was too obvious a hint to be missed.
In an obsequious manner, Feng Wu started massaging Jun Linyuan’s shoulders.
As a Supreme Level medicine refiner, Feng Wu had unparalleled skills in identifying pressure points, and was an expert in exerting just the right amount of power. As soon as she started working, Jun Linyuan felt pleased right away.
“How’s that? Does it feel good?” Feng Wu asked obsequiously.
For the sake of the broken star piece, sucking up to the crown prince was nothing.
Jun Linyuan made a vague sound. “Not bad.”
Feng Wu opened a hidden door in the wall of the carriage and pulled out a small square table which had a mini tea stove made from red clay on it. Feng Wu carefully poured a cup of tea, and only handed it to Jun Linyuan when the temperature was right. “Your Royal Highness, would you like some tea?”
Jun Linyuan glanced at Feng Wu. The teenage girl had exquisite features and flushed cheeks. With her eyes lowered like this, she looked so docile. She reminded him of a delicate bud covered with spring morning dew and which gave off a refreshing scent.
When she made an effort to play up to someone, she could be very irresistible.
“How’s the tea? It’s not too hot, is it?” Feng Wu’s smile was a little scary in Jun Linyuan’s eyes now.
Darting a grumpy look at her, Jun Linyuan patted the empty spot next to him.
Feng Wu sat next to him right away. What she failed to notice was how close that put her to Jun Linyuan.
She looked eagerly at Jun Linyuan, then turned her nervous gaze on the translucent stone. As much as she wanted to ask, she was able to keep her silence.
“Is the broken star piece that important to you?” Jun Linyuan asked all of a sudden.
Feng Wu was ready for some explanation from the young master here, but was rendered speechless by the question.
The expression on Jun Linyuan’s handsome, well-defined face —
