However, Feng Xun was too absorbed in his own thoughts to notice the oncoming storm. He jabbed “Feng Wu” in the temple and gritted his teeth. “You make me so mad!”
The crown prince had never been jabbed in the temple before.
He brushed off Feng Xun’s hand.
Feng Xun didn’t realize how strong “Feng Wu” had become. He only stared at “her” and said in frustration, “Do you know what that kind of behavior will do to a girl? You’re not married yet. Your reputation will be ruined!”
Jun Linyuan had a brooding look in his eyes.
Feng Xun went on babbling for a while before he reached the conclusion. “Anyway, you need to marry His Royal Highness as soon as possible! Otherwise, you’ll have a lot to lose!”
The crown prince glanced at Feng Xun and walked away.
“What’s that look on your face? I’m so mad!” Feng Xun said in frustration.
The courier station wasn’t big, and there were a lot of people. In the end, only the royal family and the high-ranking officials could spend the night inside. The rest had to set up tents around the station.
After they settled in, naturally, Feng Wu ran into Jun Linyuan’s room.
Of course, she had to.
With the ninth trial, Feng Wu couldn’t stay more than ten steps away from Jun Linyuan, and nothing was more important than completing that trial.
Jun Linyuan glanced at Feng Wu but didn’t say a thing.
Feng Wu asked, “What?”
The crown prince wanted to say something, but hesitated.
Feng Wu quickly set up her bed on the floor. She then asked Jun Linyuan in bewilderment, “What did Feng Xun say?”
The crown prince shook his head. “Nothing.”
Feng Wu was curious. “If that’s the case, why do you look so preoccupied? He must have said something to you. Just tell me. I’m not that fragile. I can take it.”
The crown prince looked at her for a moment and suddenly said, “You should go back to your own room.”
What?
Feng Wu stared at him in disbelief, then narrowed her eyes. “What did you say?”
“Go back.” Jun Linyuan stared at Feng Wu.
Feng Wu was angry.
When she didn’t want to be around him, he did all he could to trap her.
But now, when she had to stick around because of the ninth trial, his attitude changed completely.
Feng Wu stared at Jun Linyuan.
Jun Linyuan also looked back at Feng Wu.
Hmph!
Feng Wu rose to her feet and headed for the door, but she walked very slowly.
She was sure that Jun Linyuan would stop her.
But to her frustration –
She was about ten steps away, but Jun Linyuan still hadn’t said a thing.
In fact, the crown prince was thinking along the same lines as Feng Wu.
He felt at quite a loss when Feng Wu walked away, as if a hole had opened up in his chest. He opened his mouth.
But he wondered if it would weaken his authority if he stopped her.
He decided that he would stop her after she took the 11th step.
Hence –
While Feng Wu waited for him to stop her, he was waiting for her to take one more step. It was a stalemate.
The atmosphere grew rather awkward.
Anyone else might not have been able to stand it, but not Feng Wu. She was great at enduring awkwardness.
