When the female lead finally climbed the stairs and saw the grin the prophet had on his face, she montarily flinched, questioning herself if the man already had clues on why she appeared today.
Earlier, Rumina was in a happy mood since she could complain to a friend who knew her past and true self, but now she found it was hard not to feel downcast seeing the other seed to have predicted the reason for her trip here.
"Sir Wade." The fifteen-year-old girl curtsied and greeted. Since she was reprimanded heavily by one of the valets, she noted in her mind to not call him by his na when other people were around. "It's a good day. I'm glad to see you looking much better than before."
Jiang Li cut off his communication with the Goddess, returning to his usually bored face. "Yeah, hello. What made you sneak into our humble house again?"
"To speak with you!"
'Rude and brazen!' thought the other two young n nearby, frowning.
After throwing her a glance, Jiang Li indifferently replied, "I have to say to you in advance. But I don't plan to divine anything today too."
"Sir Wade, hehe, when did I look for you for that? Don't worry, Sir. I'm rely here to accompany you in admiring the flowers and tea."
The female lead unceremoniously sat down in front of him under the sharp and attentive gazes of the valets.
The scene was quite weird, not because a maid started casually speaking with the heir of a duke, but because the guards of that heir was treating the girl like an enemy that should be watched out, acting like fathers toward the prospective fiance of his daughter.
Jiang Li stayed silent as the girl narrated about the kind of things the male lead did to her, mostly strangely good and sweet deeds unimaginable for the future Emperor to direct to her.
"You won't believe it! I don't know why, but I felt goosebumps when that guy insisted on dancing with on that ball! It's really hair-raising. I want to run away from him!"
"..."
The valet on Jiang Li's left side glared at her: Did you try? By ntioning His Highness here, aren't you just trying to make our young master jealous? Who do you think you are?!
As if she was oblivious to the thoughts written all over that valet's face, she added with a grave expression put on, "There's also that ti when I attended Miss Lilac's tea party. I didn't know why he's there! Crazy! A man appearing in an all-girls' party! But that man forced on a tea session with him and then fed so cake, PERSONALLY, using his fork. I-It's just so disgraceful! It made so speechless!"
"..."
Valet 2: Oh? You're so speechless that you ca here running your mouth?
Valet 1: Hah! This must be intentional! This annoying girl lacks tack and awareness of people's feelings yet she will be the future Empress? Wow... So hateful! I hope once she goes back, she gets caught playing truant and be scolded or grounded!
The two young n acting both as Jiang Li's valets and guards looked as if they wished the security personnel of the mansion would beco more vigilant. Or if because of the years of familiarity with the girl, those people would not, the two valets wished they could kick her out by themselves.
Jiang Li noticed his servants dark faces and inwardly laughed.
"I think that man has beco crazy! I swear he's not supposed to be this considerate! No! He should not even pay attention! I... I hate it! In just a few days I'm sure his attitude will take a drastic turn!"
He spoke. "Well. How is it related to ?"
The female lead sighed. She got herself a cup and a saucer and then poured herself so tea. The manner she did it confird she had done this countless tis.
Well, Jiang Li never chased her away, but he also never entertained her frequent visits apart from listening to her. He never even offered his food. Such a stingy and ungentlemanly person. Her eyes darted to the man seated across her a complicated gaze.
Actually, if those ntioned above were taken out, Luke Wade was still sobody many girls in the empire wanted to marry, mostly for his money and status, or face. In fact, in most noble girls' minds, he was more ideal to marry than the crown prince.
It was not only what he could offer, but that he was freer and had fewer duties to shoulder which ans he would NOT be the type of husband his wife would only see for a few minutes every day.
Which girl didn't want so more romantic monts with their lovers or partners? Although ill for now, this guy was the Goddess' ssenger so there was no way he would not be cured by the Goddess in the future. Or so the majority assud.
Anyways, Rumina Bolden suddenly had all these thoughts in her mind because she rembered again how odd her heart was when facing the crown prince.
To be honest, she quite liked Luke Wade.
She was clearly more attracted to this older guy than the male lead, but how co her heart would beat as fast as it when he was with that person???!
Could a woman's heart hold two n at the sa ti?
She doubted it.
'This is so hateful. Why do I feel like I'm compelled to like that heartless bastard without knowing why? Is this heaven's arrangent for ? Haven't I suffered enough? Why?'
The female lead didn't know that she was in the complete control of the plot hence the reason that when she was with the person she loathed, her heart seed to be not her own.
There was one more thing she didn't know.
That was how a supre being looking at them through a mirror started to think that she was a great annoyance!
...
'Why does she have my face?' While the girl seated across Jiang Li was drowning in her thoughts, the indignant voice of the Goddess rang inside his head.
Once again, the Goddess seemingly forgot that Jiang Li could hear her and that the man looked down to hide his bright expression, forcing down the edges of his mouth which uncontrollably went up.
The voice in his head kept grumbling, spouting so many complaints, as usual.
On the other hand, Jiang Li secretly muttered in his heart, '... Well. Even though the personality is fiercer and more playful... no doubt about it... She's Xinya.'
He had to admit. Every ti, this fact was reaffird in his mind, he would feel glad and relieved.
Now the only problem was what the Goddess initially complained to him.
Why does the female lead look like 'her'?
'... Is the world trying to confuse when it gives Rumina Bolden a face similar to Ye Xinya?'
He began to ponder about this.
The world, or the person controlling the fates of the mission worlds, had unknowingly revealed to Jiang Li the real importance placed upon the Goddess' incarnations.
