âOh,â Bo Jinyan replied expressionlessly.
She would not marry him? He was the one who didnât want to propose to her.
âI know that you want to marry me, but you are not my type.â
âMm.â
âI am someone you could never get in your lifetime.â
Bo Jinyan was speechless.
Just like Yu Lingfeng had said, she was truly a retard!
It was no wonder he was so violent with her...
...
Ye Erruo was gloomy as she stepped out of the palace.
âWhatâs wrong, Ruoruo?â
âArenât I Brother Jinyanâs fiancee? Why did he tell everyone that I am his godsister?â
âThat was just a lie he told the outsiders. Donât worry, you are his fiancee,â Yu Lingfeng explained.
âWhy do we have to lie to outsiders?â
âSome things are hard to explain. Do not overthink things, Xiao Ruo.â
âOkay.â Ye Erruo lowered her head, her mood worsening. âI heard them call you their prince earlier. Since youâre my brother, doesnât that mean that I am a princess?â
Yu Lingfeng furrowed his brows and said, âRuoruo, you got very sick and forgot a lot of things. They are all horrible things and nightmares. Brother Jinyan and I are afraid that you will get hurt. Thatâs why we arenât telling you. All you need to know is that you are Bo Jinyanâs fiance and I am your older brother. You are our little princess. Thatâs all that matters.â
âWhat kind of illness did I have?â
âYou had a terrible fever.â
âWhat about the nightmares?â
âUgh... Xiao Ruo, I told you that if you knew, you would only get more upset. Thatâs why I canât tell you.â
âOh,â Ye Erruo responded in low spirits.
The words in her mind earlier had left her feeling ill at ease.
âDo you still want to return to the banquet?â
âI donât.â
âThen big brother will take you out to play, alright?â Yu Lingfengâs heart could not cope with her unhappiness.
âWhy hasnât Brother Jinyan come out yet?â
âHe has something important to do, so he canât head out just yet. Letâs go first and heâll come over later.â
After hesitating for a while, Ye Erruo finally agreed.
The long street was bustling with small activities arranged due to the banquet organized in the Queenâs palace in celebration of the princessâs return.
People were walking about, and plenty of stalls were selling various gadgets and shiny trinkets.
Yu Lingfeng took Ye Erruo along as they strolled through the night market while eating small treats.
He took her to try out various flavors of treats, which improved Ye Erruoâs mood tremendously.
âI want to eat this again.â Ye Erruo lowered her head and glanced at the empty box in her hand.
âOh... We will have to buy this again. Wait here for me. Iâll go buy it for you.â
âOkay.â
âRing toss! Ring toss!â
When Yu Lingfeng left, Ye Erruo began to shop around alone.
All of a sudden, her gaze fell on a rogue rabbit at a stall. It was adorable, but she needed to win the ring toss to get it.
âGive me ten rings.â
âSure thing, miss.â
âYoung Master, Young Master! Please walk slowly.â Bo Yu followed Mo Jiangye anxiously.
âWhere is she?â Mo Jiangye scanned the crowd as he looked for her frantically.
D*mn it! He had been here for more than a week, yet he had finally seen his woman. He had tried to raid Bo Jinyanâs broken old place a few times but had failed, almost alerting the enemy as a result.
âShe is on this night market street.â
Mo Jiangyeâs face darkened. This street was several hundred meters long with various winding lanes. How was he going to find her?
âYoung Master, Young Master!â Bo Yu patted Mo Jiangyeâs shoulders excitedly.
âGet lost, d*mn it!â
âLook! Is that Young Madam?â
Ah! Mo Jiangye turned his head back abruptly.
