Qiuling said to Feng Wu in an amused tone, “I heard that Prince Jun Linyun is searching everywhere for someone.”
Prince Jun Linyun?
This was the second time Feng Wu heard Jun Linyun’s name mentioned, but since he was of no consequence to her, she wasn’t really interested.
Although Feng Wu wasn’t interested, Chaoge, who liked buzz, was intrigued and asked curiously, “What now? What’s that about? Jun Linyun looks quite dumb, but he’s very funny.”
Qiuling smiled and said, “I don’t know exactly what it’s about. I only heard that he’s looking for some girl, and he’s been going from one family to the next.”
Chaoge said, “What? Is Prince Jun Linyun that eager?”
“Who’s eager?” Feng Xun and Xuan Yi came in from outside, followed by the most handsome teenager. It was none other than Jun Linyuan himself.
Chaoge sounded excited when she said, “Haven’t you heard? Jun Linyun is anxiously looking through the women of every family. What else can it be, if he isn’t eager for women?”
Feng Xun grumpily knocked Chaoge on the forehead. “Nonsense. It’s not like that at all.”
“Not like that? What’s it like, then? Is the rumor wrong?” Chaoge asked in bewilderment.
As Feng Xun and Chaoge bantered with each other, Jun Linyuan’s brooding gaze landed on Feng Wu as always.
Involuntarily, Feng Wu looked at him as well.
Their eyes met.
It was as if electric currents were flickering in the air, but no one else could see the sparks.
The crown prince’s unblinking gaze was fixed on Feng Wu, and his eyes seemed to grow even more brooding.
Involuntarily, Feng Wu avoided his intense gaze. Her heart was racing as it pounded hard like that of a young deer.
No one noticed the subtle interaction between Feng Wu and Jun Linyuan, because everyone was watching Feng Xun.
Feng Xun was cheerfully explaining to Chaoge, “Well, you don’t know what happened. Linyun really isn’t looking for a future wife. He wants to get revenge.”
Chaoge’s eyes widened. “What? Did someone pick on Prince Jun Linyun? Who would dare do that? He’s a royal prince! He helped us a lot by bringing us here, and I have to show my gratitude. Feng Xun, tell me. Who offended Prince Jun Linyun? I’ll get revenge for him!”
Chaoge was also very impulsive and would act before she thought things through. Rolling up her sleeves, she wanted to offer her help.
Feng Xun pressed her back down when she bolted up from her chair and said grumpily, “Don’t rush it. We also want to know who displeased him, but we can’t find the person.”
Chaoge asked, “Is that person here in the campsite?”
Feng Xun nodded.
Chaoge asked, “What’s her name?”
Feng Xun shook his head.
Chaoge stared at Feng Xun. “You don’t even know her name? What does she look like, then?”
Feng Xun said, “Not very attractive, according to Linyun’s description.”
Chaoge said, “Well, it won’t be easy to find them.”
Feng Xun nodded.
Feng Wu was attracted to their conversation, but she never thought that she would be the one they were searching for.
Until —
Tilting her head, Chaoge curiously jabbed a finger in Feng Xun’s arm. “Talk to me, then. How did this plain girl pick on Prince Jun Linyun? Did she take advantage of him? Hahaha —”
Feng Wu was intrigued as well, although she had never seen Jun Linyun before.
