Hearing the affectionate greeting, Mu Chaoyang turned around with great interest, what met his eyes was some perky view.
Mu Chaoyang tried so hard to withdraw his look, his eyes travelled all the way from the bosom to the face.
A pretty face, quite familiar.
âHmm, who is she? I think Iâve met her before.â thought Mu Chaoyang, âWas it on fatherâs birthday? Or was it on some poetry event?â
âYou may rise.â
A glimmer of smile flashed across Luo Yuyanâs face, âHow have you been, Your Highness? Me and my sister Qianqian have met you on His Majestyâs birthday gathering a few days ago.â
âLuo Qianqianâs sister? I know her! I do know her! Luo Qianqianâs sisterLuo Yuyan!â Mu Chaoyang exclaimed in his heart.
Mu Chaoyang was so impressed that both of Prime Minister Luoâs daughters were so pretty, but they were pretty in such different ways.
âThis young lady is Luo Qianqianâs sister, I need to be nice to her, probably I can dig some information about Luo Qianqian and cater to her pleasure. Yeah, I better take advantage of this opportunity.â
With that in mind, Mu Chaoyang smiled at Luo Yuyan, âIâve been well, thank you for asking, Second Lady. Are you here for the Flower Admiring Gathering as well?â
Luo Yuyan almost jumped for joy, she was overjoyed that Mu Chaoyang knew who she was.
âYes, itâs such an honor that the empress has invited me.â Luo Yuyan smiled shyly.
Mu Chaoyang nodded, âYou certainly will add more spender to the event with your beauty and elegance, Second Lady.â
Luo Yuyan chimed in, âPlease call me Yuyan, Your Highness. Second Lady sounds like we are total strangers, I donât like it.â
Mu Chaoyang was thinking exactly the same thing, âGreat! I prefer to call you by your name anyway.â
âWhen will Qianqian ask me the same question?â Mu Chaoyang heaved a silent sigh.
Mu Chaoyang and Luo Yuyan walked side by side, Mu Chaoyang intended to scoop more information about Luo Qianqian from Luo Yuyan, he was glad that Luo Yuyan was willing to walk together with him.
âYuyan, are you on good terms with your sister?â
Luo Yuyanâs smile frozen, the first reaction she had when she heard the word âsisterâ was 333, then she panicked, âWhy would The Crown Prince bring up Keer out of nowhere? Does he know something about Keer and her mother?ân/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
Then she quickly denied the thought, âNo way, father handled it with his trusted followers, and we just say Keer and her mother went to our country estate to spend time with their family, why would The Crown Prince bring up Keer out of nowhere though?â
The more she thought about it, the more scared she got. She even lost her balance and fell.
Luo Yuyan dreaded to think about the possibility of getting a scar on her face, she screamed the second she lost balance, Hongyu was deliberately walking far behind to give them some privacy so she couldnât save Luo Yuyan on time at this point.
Luo Yuyan covered her face and was ready to face her fate, but it wasnât as painful as she had expected.
Luo Yuyan opened her eyes slowly only to find she was in Mu Chaoyangâs arms, the thing was Mu Chaoyang might have reached out his arms in some hurry and confusion and he had no idea where his hands had landed, but Luo Yuyan had felt Mu Chaoyangâs hands.
Mu Chaoyangâs hands were right at her bosom.
There was no such thing as bra in ancient times, plus Luo Qianqian was wearing some gown made from silk fabric, it felt like there was nothing there.
Luo Yuyan blushed⦠â¦
Mu Chaoyang also had realized where his hands were, they felt so great! They felt firm and soft at the same time, how fascinating! Mu Chaoyang couldnât help but grab harder before Luo Yuyan tried to struggle.
âYuyan, are you all right? There is a pebble stone on the road.â Mu Chaoyang asked with concern.
Luo Yuyan was still blushed, she felt what Mu Chaoyang had done and she was more confident that Mu Chaoyang liked her, âYour Highness, you⦠â¦â
Luo Yuyan understood it was an accident in the beginning, but by no means it was an accident what she had felt when Mu Chaoyang grabbed her bosom.
Mu Chaoyang dared not to make eye contact with Luo Yuyan, he was worried what Luo Qianqian would think of him if she heard of this, he didnât want Luo Qianqian to hate him.
âIt⦠it was an accident, I was just tying to save you, please forgive me.â Mu Chaoyang foundered.
It was improper for men and women to touch each otherâs hand in passing objects in ancient times, how could Mu Chaoyang expect Luo Yuyan to act like nothing had happened.
Hearing that, Luo Yuyanâs heart sank, she turned red and white by turns in an agony of embarrassment and anger, she frowned and looked at Mu Chaoyang in the eye, âYour Highness, what are you talking about? Are you saying I should forget about this and act like nothing had happened? Are you saying you donât want to be responsible?â
Mu Chaoyang was choked, Luo Yuyan was right, Mu Chaoyang didnât want to be responsible.
He was indeed interested in Luo Yuyanâs body, but all he could think about was Luo Qianqian, he didnât want to get involved with anyone at the moment.
However, Mu Chaoyang had seen enough in the harem palace, he replied with ambiguity, âYuyan, I wonât hurt you like that. Itâs just there are so many undercurrent going on in court now and I donât have the time and energy to think about love and romance, do you understand?â
Luo Yuyan nodded, because she hated to admit she wasnât charming enough to seduce Mu Chaoyang, âI do, I do believe you, Your Highness.â
Soon Mu Chaoyang excused himself on some sill excuse because it was obviously not proper to dig information about Luo Qianqian. Luo Yuyan was surprised Mu Chaoyang needed to leave, but she didnât want to appear as desperate, she just made a bow with hands folded in front and said, âPlease take care, Your Highness.â
