Feng Wu was dumbfounded and felt as if she had been struck by lightning. Looking up, she stared at Jun Linyuan in bewilderment, and her clear eyes were filled with innocence and confusion.
Jun Linyuan’s rosy lips curled into a half-smile, and he said, “If you don’t like me, why should I give you flowers?”
That was so true!
All the onlookers gave Feng Wu strange looks.
Feng Wu was speechless.
She now knew what “inexcusable” meant.
“Huh?” When the crown prince didn’t hear her answer, he raised his eyebrows and gave Feng Wu a goading look.
What could Feng Wu possibly say?
She tried to explain herself. “Well… It’s actually not like that…”
Jun Linyuan slowly approached her with a cold smile on his face and asked, “What is it, then?”
“Well… I…” Despite the smile on her face, Feng Wu was screaming inwardly.
How was she supposed to know what the system wanted her to do? She was as confused as everyone else!
“If it’s not like that, then explain yourself.”
The crown prince was usually uninterested in other people, but now, he was closing in with eyes that glinted coldly.
Feng Wu said, “I… I… I just don’t think these flowers are good enough for someone as elegant and graceful as you, so I want to take them back and give you something more suitable another day.”
“When will that be?” The crown prince stared at Feng Wu.
It was only a random excuse, and of course, she didn’t know when that would be.
Damn you, Jun Linyuan!
Feng Wu cursed inwardly. She wondered why this man wouldn’t leave her alone.
But she couldn’t lose her temper just yet and had to maintain that adorable sweet smile.
Grinding her teeth, Feng Wu smiled. “Your Royal Highness, are you really not going to give them to me?”
Jun Linyuan gave her a half-smile. “Little Feng Wu, are you really that in love with me?”
All Feng Wu had to say was yes and he would give her the flowers.
However, Feng Wu failed to recognize Jun Linyuan’s insinuation, and she waved her hands in denial.
“No, I’m not in love with you at all! Jun Linyuan, please believe me! I don’t have any feelings for you! Don’t believe the rumors!”
Jun Linyuan’s face immediately turned as dark as ink.
Around them, everyone became so quiet that they could hear their breathing.
The temperature seemed to drop.
Feng Wu eyed the flowers eagerly.
Although she still had a whole day ahead of her, if Jun Linyuan refused to give her the flowers, there was nothing she could do.
Moreover, what if Jun Linyuan decided to destroy the flowers?
Feng Wu had just jinxed herself.
The moment that idea popped into her head —
Jun Linyuan’s slender fingers wrapped around the flowers.
Shit!
Feng Wu’s pupils contracted.
Since the system had specified that she had to get those flowers back, she wouldn’t be able to accept any other flowers.
If Jun Linyuan destroyed them now, then her 6th trial would be… Feng Wu couldn’t bring herself to imagine her failure.
“Wait, wait —”
Feng Wu rushed over to him and wrapped her hands around Jun Linyuan’s wrist so tightly that she almost gave him bruises.
“Those are my flowers! You can’t destroy them!”
Feng Wu glowered at Jun Linyuan.
Jun Linyuan was baffled.
Had he misunderstood something?
If the girl cherished the flowers so much, how could she not be in love with him?
Was Feng Xun correct in saying that she was being dishonest and playing hard to get? Were her physical reactions more trustworthy than her words?
