Baili Jia Jue’s slender fair fingers rested on the sandal wood low table. His gaze fell on Helian Wei Wei’s body and his brows raised.
Wei Wei felt that she was already near enough as this big horse carriage still didn’t have much room, if she moved forward a little more, the two of them would undoubtedly touch.
“It’s easier to put on dress the wound if we are closer.” Wei Wei leaned her face to one side, as she used the needle and dabbed a bit of the ointment made with the Heavenly Mountain Snow Lotus. Without raising her head, she said, “It wouldn’t be good if I offend His Highness later.”
He seemed to take a quick look at her and replied faintly. “There’s nothing not good about it.”
“Hmm?” Wei Wei raised her brows and faced him directly. She even wondered if this man’s mysophobia had been cured.
When she heard him slowly say. “In any case, sooner or later, you’d still have to offend.” When he said the word ‘offend’, don’t know if it was deliberate or not, but he extended his hand to cross over Wei Wei, and let down the curtains behind her, his voice was neither soft nor heavy as it streaked across Wei Wei’s ear, his breath struck her ear and made her feel a bit limp and numb.
Wei Wei tilted her face downward, saw the man’s pure and cold eyes, and shifted her position. This man was simply the evildoer of evildoers, whoever he wanted to bewitch someday, she reckoned it’d be very easy.
Wei Wei raised her head and smiled as she moved forward and leaned a bit closer. She moved naturally as one hand held Baili Jia Jue’s wrist and the other with the silver needle in hand. Bit by bit, she carefully pricked open the place where the shard sunk into. Her entire self gave people a kind of very comfortable feeling.
Only that, she felt that the two of them were still too close to each other.
She also didn’t know if Third Prince had any objection to her touching his hand. From beginning to end, he looked down at her, the feeling of his presence was too intense, practically made Wei Wei crease her long, shapely eyebrows.
However, this didn’t affect Wei Wei’s treatment of the wound at all, as her hands didn’t even tremble a bit. She first picked out that shard from the hollow of his palm then immediately applied ointment before using the white handkerchief to bind and finish her work!
“All done.” Wei Wei stood up and was going to have the horse carriage stop, so she could go down.
But Baili Jia Jue turned to the outside and instructed. “Go a bit faster towards the very front.”
Wei Wei: “…”
On the table, the smoke within the qilin incense burner increased as Baili Jia Jue uncovered its lid and took a glance at her. “Going down now, do you want everybody to know that you’ve been in my horse carriage.”
No, she totally didn’t have that intention.
Having people know would be unceasingly troublesome.
What she most disliked precisely was dealing with this kind of troubles. Wei Wei yawned, a little sleepy. “Then when should I go?”
Baili Jia Jue’s enchanting eyes narrowed. Did she dislike staying together with him in the same carriage that much?
Seemingly like it was a careless gesture, Baili Jia Jue threw away the lid in his hand, and leaned his body back wearing a smile that wasn’t a smile. “You certainly can go.” If she moved, he’d break her pair of claws to save his heart from being vexed.
Wei Wei glanced at him, and actually felt that this person was a little unhappy. “Then you have them stop the carriage.”
The fingers concealed in Baili Jia Jue’s sleeves clenched as his demonically cold smile formed, pure and cold. “Go faster.”
Wei Wei: “….”
Was Third Prince purposefully making things difficult for her today?
If not, why was he so unreasonable?
“How about I freeload off His Highness here for a short while more?” Having chatted with him until now, Wei Wei understood him a little. His Highness was like this because he didn’t want other people to know of the relationship between the two of them.
Baili Jia Jue replied. “Mm.” and leaned his head a bit to the left, as if he didn’t want Wei Wei to see his expression at the moment.
Actually, it was the same whether Wei Wei slept here or not. In any case, as long as she could meet Hei Ze for a bit before they entered the capital, and properly discuss matters concerning the selling and buying of armaments prior to the martial qi competition, that was fine.
Thinking this way, Wei Wei casually found a place to sit down, leaning against the carriage window, self-consciously distancing herself from Third Prince a bit.
Sensing her intent, Baili Jia Jue’s eyes levelly faced her gaze. “You seem to shun me.”
“Hmm?” Wei Wei thought she misheard. “No, doesn’t Your Highness loathe people getting near you?” She was just doing what was appropriate.
Baili Jia Jue fixated his gaze on her. “After the martial qi competition, you and I will be getting married. There’s nothing inappropriate about us getting used to each other prior to that.”
Wei Wei smiled. “It’s not necessary to get used to each other. I’m fine with it.”
“I’m not fine with it.” Baili Jia Jue’s voice was very level. “You also know that I loathe having others come close to me.”
Wei Wei choked up on his words.
“Then…” Wei Wei still had to think of a solution. Actually, this truly was a problem. How could there be people who still had to keep a distance when standing next to each other after they were married? One look and it would be clear that they were faking it.
Third Prince was truly thorough, in one fell swoop he had cut off all of her possible excuses. “Come here.”
“What’re you doing?” Wei Wei looked at his slender fingers tapping on the tabletop and was rather puzzled.
Baili Jia Jue looked at her as if looking at an idiot. “Getting used to each other ahead of time.”
“How…” However, Wei Wei’s words were cut short, not for any other reason except that in the next second, she was pulled into an embrace. A floating sweet scent, slightly cool body temperature coupled with the strong smell belonging to a man, made Wei Wei’s body stiffen.
As if he hadn’t sensed her reaction, Third Prince’s expression was as calm and composed as before, as if embracing her like this, was truly just so he could get used to her earlier.
Wei Wei felt that her muscles stiffening like this, was too uncomfortable, so she immediately also had no qualms about loosening her arms, and raised her eyebrows to inquire. “You can put up with this?”
“This is within my limits.” Third Prince’s tone of voice was very level, so level that Wei Wei felt that she was being too suspicious. She shouldn’t have suspected the man’s intent just now, he probably truly couldn’t stand other people physically getting close to him. No wonder he’d rather suffer from his wound, than to have the servants bind it up. When she came in, he even wrinkled his long brows, probably because he didn’t like people standing in his personal space. She’d touched patients with mysophobia before. They viewed everyone as germs. It’s difficult enough for Third Prince to embrace such a big germ like her in this way.
Thinking this way, Wei Wei posture became even more relaxed as she yawned lazily and said in a daze. “Then tell me when you can’t stand it anymore, then I’ll push you away.”
“Ok.” Baili Jia Jue extended his hand and embraced her even more tightly, the softness in his embrace made his curve his thin lips up, the air of an evildoer clear on this face.
Taking the bait so easily.
It could clearly be seen that this little thing still cared much about him.
The fire qilin that been watching turned its head. This liar whose eyes doesn’t even blink when he tricked people, was he really its master?
However, it’s true when he thought about it.
The way His Highness treated his prey was that there’s no means he wouldn’t use.
Merely, when it came to patience, this was apparently still the first time.
It was quite evident that Wei Wei’s concern with other men caused His Highness to lose this patience……
