The other girl said it in a very relaxed and natural manner. Yet conviction was there. She was extrely serious about it. Apart from that, when Jiang Ying Yue looked at the other provocatively, there was an indistinguishable aura on her which would remind anyone of a tigress. Fierce. Dangerous. Territorial.
'Chen Wang is mine.'
'Even if he's not yet mine, I won't give him to anyone!'
'I'll make him fall for . I'll make him only look at ! I'm confident I can do it!'
Jiang Ying Yue's voice rang in her mind with these words. Sheng Lingxin was that stunned upon hearing Jiang Ying Yue's declaration. Because no useless courtesies and flowery speeches were included in her remark, it sounded so blunt, leaving no room for any other interpretation apart from what was intended to be conveyed.
'Is this really that ek and delicate woman who tried to take her life in that grand chamber?'
The pri minister's daughter watched the abandoned first miss of the Jiangs sipped on her tea so elegantly. Her action and smile exuded grace that not even rags would be able to conceal. She was the ga's protagonist. And she had chosen the general, Lu Ling as her future husband.
Sheng Lingxin's head was filled with countless thoughts, heart drowning in resentnt. Deep inside her, she was blaming the woman. If not for her, Chen Wang would have stayed longer in the capital last year. And he wouldn't be away for so long. Thinking of the whole year Chen Wang spent with Jiang Ying Yue at the border, she felt so envious, yet helpless. Why couldn't he just be Jiang Ying Yue? Why was she Sheng Lingxin?
"Don't look at like that Miss Sheng." Suddenly Jiang Ying Yue said, unnerved by the glare she was getting.
Still in her fit of jealousy, the female lead unconsciously blurted out, "I don't like you."
The marshal's daughter laughed. "I know. If I am in the sa situation as you, jealous of a woman you thought not worthy of the man you liked, I'll also say I don't like her."
"Since you know you are not worthy of Chen Wang, why are you..." Midway, Sheng Lingxin stopped. Even though she could hear her own heart break into pieces, she realized she had to stop saying whatever was in her mind. Because she had no right to command the other to stay away from the general or stop loving him.
Knowing this, Sheng Lingxin could only say one more ti, "I really don't like you..."
Jiang Ying Yue looked away from the unsightly face of the fad daughter of the pri minister. That face that would burst into crying anyti soon was so painful to the eyes. She chose to look into the darkening skies outside.
"I heard what you wanted to say to . At the sa ti, I think you already confird what you wanted." After a long mont of silence, Jiang Ying Yue said. May I excuse myself now?"
She simply couldn't stand the uncomfortable feeling anymore, being in the presence of soone crying over her man. Because of this, she favored leaving as soon as possible.
When no reply ca to her, she conveniently took it as the other's yes. She stood and then walked towards the door. Upon crossing it, she gave Sheng Lingxin one last look and then t up with Xiao Lu outside. This day beca very morable to her. She not only t her sister and forr fiance, but also the pri minister's daughter who, when she was leaving, had given her a nacing look.
'I'll pray this Miss Sheng knows her limit and understand she's already soone betrothed to another man.'
As she held Xiao Lu's arm and walked down the street leading to Chen Wang Estate, she thought of the tea and snacks laid out by Sheng Lingxin's maid. 'I really hope she knows what's best for her. Otherwise, I can't guarantee that my gu won't act up and kill her if she does sothing beyond what I can tolerate.'
...
The two girls didn't know that fifteen minutes later, whatever they had talked about had already reached Jiang Li's ears. Hai Wang was also inford since when the ssenger popped up beside the general, he allowed the imperial prince to hear about it.
As expected, the latter's face turned dark. It was remarkably concealed, but given Jiang Li's rich experiences from his three lifetis, he still managed to see the rage and disappointnt swimming in the male lead's eyes.
Jiang Li laughingly said, "Hai Wang better put a rein on that woman, or choose another fiancee."
The other man did not reply. Jiang Li wondered if it was because he was already thinking of his suggestion or still taming the rage within.
A minute later, Hai Wang spoke, "I thank Chen Wang for your advise. However, I think we better not involve an inconsequential topic like that in our talk. More than this affair, I'm more inclined to praise you for managing to train a capable person like that one earlier."
Jiang Li looked at the male lead and admired that this guy, despite being confronted with sothing sensitive as this, still managed to keep a straight face and focused more on sothing that really mattered.
He also kept a straight face and replied, "Hai Wang is teasing . My ssengers are only so-so. I'm sure you have many people more capable than him. That one just seed astounding for his speed of relaying the information, but actually, he's only fast because my future Wang Fei is involved."
'What future Wang Fei?'
This ti, the second prince could no longer help but sneer. "Lu Ling, you seed to be forgetting your identity and hers."
"The reason I'm supporting Your Highness is that I know the current Emperor will not approve of it." Jiang Li indifferently said, leaning against the tree.
Chen Heng seed offended, but asked in a joking manner, "So any imperial prince will do?"
