Chapter 543 (2): Held In High Regard
“Won are all like this. The more you love soone, the greater your hatred is towards them. You don’t have to worry; he will die.” Situ Li spoke without emotion before instructing his guards to secretly escort Du Rin out.
As Du Rin glanced outside the curtains of the horse carriage as it passed by the Prince Hao Residence, she happened to see Pei Qianhao and Su Xi-er locked in a tight embrace at the entrance.
Jealousy flooded her. I have struggled and fought an uphill battle just so that I can even begin to take her revenge. anwhile, Su Xi-er sits in her ivory tower with the world at her beck and call. Her voice resounded in Du Rin’s mind, Who are you to challenge ?
Du Rin felt uneasy even after the carriage had long passed the Prince Hao Residence.
What she didn’t know was that Pei Qianhao had watched the carriage pass with a glint in his eye. There were rarely any horse carriages that would pass by at this hour, and it seed to be too much of a coincidence that this particular carriage had to pass by the entrance of his residence.
The sa thought passed through Su Xi-er’s mind as she spotted the sa carriage. Though Du Rin has been acting rather sneakily lately, she hasn’t made any major moves.
“A-Jing, nothing would happen to the Western Region King on his way here, right?”
Pei Qianhao hugged her tight as they walked into the residence. “You think Du Ling is an easy opponent?”
“I’m not very familiar with the Western Region, and that includes their king. A-Jing, could you tell more about Du Ling?” Su Xi-er’s tone was inquisitive, and an expectant look appeared in her eyes. Now that she had decided to reclaim her identity, Du Ling would be her brother.
She had a younger brother from her past life, but now she had an older brother as well. She had always wished for an older brother in the past; for soone to dote on her when she was younger.
Pei Qianhao was a little upset when he saw her being so interested in another man.
“A-Jing, stop being jealous. This is serious.” Su Xi-er stood on her toes and gave him a peck on the lips.
The guards who happened to see it while they were passing by quickened their steps to vacate the area. Prince Hao and the Princess Consort are being lovey-dovey now, I’d better retreat!
Pei Qianhao caressed her head. “Among won, I respect you the most, while among n, he holds a similar position. Does that tell you what you want to know?”
Earning Pei Qianhao’s praise was hard enough, let alone gaining his respect.
“So you hold him in very high regard. I’d have reclaid my identity sooner if you had told .” Su Xi-er smiled mischievously with a playful glint in her eye.
“ Xi-er, with the civil unrest in Dongling, the rapid developnt of the Western Region in recent years has already put them far ahead of the forr. Not only that, they’ve even started to catch up to Xiliu in strength, and are a very real threat to the four nations in the Central Plains. However...” Pei Qianhao tapped her on the nose playfully before he continued. “This Prince is not afraid of him. Even if ten Du Ling’s appeared, he’d be no match for .”
This was a classic part of Pei Qianhao’s personality - extraordinary confidence, and unbridled arrogance.
Su Xi-er then smacked him gently and asked, “A-Jing, are you afraid of then?”
“What do you think?” Pei Qianhao narrowed his eyes as a dangerous glint flashed in them.
Su Xi-er shook her head. “How would I know?”
“This Prince will tell you then.” Pei Qianhao whispered into her ear, “This Prince is afraid that you’ll bar from the bed if you happen to be unhappy soday. That is what I’m most scared of.”
“You- shaless!” Su Xi-er pushed him away as she glanced at him shyly.
He would still climb into my bed even if I refused him. It had been extrely tiring for in the few days after he returned from the army barracks.
