“No, no, no, my dear master… The key to this task is that His Royal Highness has to return the flowers voluntarily.”
Feng Wu cried out, “What?!”
The fairy nodded.
Feng Wu asked, “How much time do I have?”
The fairy said, “You have until the end of today.”
Feng Wu asked, “Can I do it tomorrow?”
The fairy said, “You have until the end of today.”
Feng Wu asked, “Are you sure?!”
The fairy said, “Very.”
Feng Wu rubbed her own forehead.
What kind of system was this? Why did it seem to specialize in making Feng Wu’s life miserable?
“Master? Master?” The fairy feared that it was too hard a blow to her young master.
She knew the saying, “To explode in silence, or die in it.”
And she was worried that her young master might explode…
But Feng Wu didn’t know what the fairy was thinking…
Taking a deep breath, Feng Wu adjusted her facial expression, slowly turned around, and stared at Jun Linyuan with her clear, bright eyes.
She then smiled at him.
Although she tried her best to beam at him…
Her smile still looked forced.
Meanwhile, the crown prince had crossed his arms in front of him and leaned back against a pillar as he casually studied Feng Wu.
With his great looks, his unhurried demeanor looked exceptionally attractive.
“Teehee —” Feng Wu smiled awkwardly.
This was so embarrassing…
Only a moment ago, she was trying to steer clear of Jun Linyuan, but now —
She needed his help again.
Despite her reluctance, Feng Wu still slowly approached him.
And the crowd…
They exhaled in unison.
“She’s turning around and going back.”
“Why do you think she’s doing that?”
“It’s obvious. She was trying to play hard to get and thought His Royal Highness would stop her, but he didn’t even say a word.”
“That’s right. Look, she’s going back to His Royal Highness because of that.”
“I don’t think that’s the case. His Royal Highness seems to really like her.”
“No, he doesn’t. She’s like a toy to him, that’s all. He’ll play with her when he feels like it and cast her aside when he doesn’t.”
–
Most of the people saying those things were girls.
They were jealous of Feng Wu, which affected their judgment. Naturally, they wouldn’t say anything nice about her.
Feng Wu heard them as well.
But the system had given her the lousy task, so what choice did she have? She was a victim as well!
Despite her torment, Feng Wu still had to keep smiling, which wasn’t easy at all.
“Y- Your Royal Highness…” Feng Wu inched forward until she reached him.
The crown prince raised his eyebrows and smirked.
His demeanor was so casual that he seemed to be enjoying a show.
Feng Wu felt like screaming. This was so humiliating!
However, she needed the broken star pieces and had to force herself to smile. “Your Royal Highness… Teehee…”
Jun Linyuan found the silly girl very amusing.
He was convinced that she was infatuated with him, but she just wouldn’t admit it. He wanted to see how much longer she could play hard to get.
“You’re back, again,” he said sarcastically.
“Ahem —” Feng Wu cleared her throat and nodded. She looked incredibly docile.
