Chapter 613 - The General Strategy
Lory walks side by side with Yang Xi Ying while Sanguan Wu Ci only a step away from behind her, because she is a married woman is not appropriated for Sanguan Wu Ci walk beside her which is dampened his mood quite a bit, unlike them the over-excited third prince walk beside Ming Yue Yin while bragging how great he is.
The gullible Prince didn't realize Ming Yue Yin scratching and rubbing her hands for quite some time, Lory didn't bother to help her she only throws teasing smiles towards Ming Yue Yin then received with a furious glare. Yang Xi Ying shakes her head watching her two best friends able to bicker through eyes, she doesn't know it's possible and why Lory teasing Ming Yue Yin doesn't she realize she has the same problem.
Yang Xi Ying peek behind her and caught sanguan Wu Ci stare at Lory with a warm gaze, Lory sigh inwardly 'This is not good'
On the other hand, Lory didn't bother with Sanguan Wu Ci, she didn't care about the opposite side when she was single and she didn't care less when she already married especially when she marry someone like Zhao Li Xin, that man just turn her beauty standard upside down.
"Do you enjoy the Banquet?" Sanguan Wu Ci suddenly breaks the silence but he didn't call anyone name so Lory doesn't know who is he talking to, however, Yang Xi Ying knew Sanguan Wu Ci is talking to Lory so she also not answering.
"Ehm, madam…Zhao" he reluctantly called, the name Madam Zhao gives bitter after taste in his tongue, but still he is too dense to understand his own feeling, or maybe he doesn't want to admit he fall for an ordinary married woman.
"Oh…" Lory turns her head to the side "It's not bad…" she replies nonchalantly..
"So, you don't like it?" Sanguan Wu Ci pretends to be oblivious.
"Not like that…I just feel better if my husband could come with me" Lory make half-shrug as she walks, she doesn't realize Sanguan Wu Ci face turn to black, Yang Xi Ying faintly smile, Lory is so smart but how come she become so dense but at least she is honest, Yang Xi Ying hope sanguan Wu Ci would not hold some illusion about Lory again who knows what that demon lord would do, then again she never saw Zhao Li Xin jealous.
They finally reach the front gate Lory turns around then casually asks "Young master Sanguan, is Lao Min Na still at your place?"
Sanguan Wu Ci looks perplexed although he knows the enmity between them he can't take a side with Lory because Lao Min Na is too important for his family, because her pill and elixir his father and grandfather cultivation raised to the level they never dreamed form that's how Lao Min Na solidified her position at sanguan family.
"I know your relationship with miss Lao is not good but we owed her a lot, that's why we can't discard her when the situation got rough" his expression filled with remorse, he doesn't want to disappointed Lory however compare to power and glory, a woman position is deemed to lose.
"Well, it doesn't matter for me" Lory shrug indifferently "Just send my words to Lao Min Na, tell her: the worst thing about making deal with a demon he never forgot to collect – but I'm ready, I hope she would too…."
Sanguan Wu Ci looks puzzled "What do you mean?"
Lory smile mysteriously "She'll know…"
Before sanguan Wu Ci could ask further, a black carriage stop below the front gate stairs and a black figure with a golden mask exit from the carriage, the man imposing aura met the third prince shiver to his bones, on contrary Lory climb down from the stairs while smiling at him "I know you will come?" Lory teased Zhao Li Xin she doesn't realize how coquettish her words sound.
Sanguan Wu Ci feel his heart stirred and the blood in his veins boiled, he never knew she could make a sound like that. Just like a beast Zhao Li Xin could feel someone eyeing his precious treasure, he pulls Lory waist towards him in a possessive manner "Do you think I would let you go home alone?" he whispers seductively in her eyes, immediately lory face turn red like a ripe apple.
Their intimate interaction make Sanguan Wu Ci choke from anger, he really wants to hit Zhao Li Xin and pull them apart, sadly he knows that impossible, so he tamped his rage and look away before jealousy burns his eyes. Zhao Li Xin deliberately make sanguan Wu Ci angry even though he looks calmed but Zhao Li Xin is furious when he saw Lory talking with sanguan Wu Ci, she even smiles at him!
Zhao Li Xin wrapped his hand around her waist until there's no gap between them, even for husband and wife their behavior is not appropriated, the third prince and Sanguan Wu Ci furrows their brows feeling annoyed by their brazen behavior, Sanguan Wu Ci blames Zhao Li Xin for he thought he is disrespect Lory but the truth is Zhao Li Xin become more brazen because he is influenced by Lory.
If only they know if Lory in her old world she would 'french kiss' Zhao Li Xin the moment she met him buy because she knows people in this world are not used to it so she and Zhao Li Xin only hug a little, she thought it's still alright.
Yang Xi Ying and Ming Yue Yin already immune by this scene, to be honest, they are envy how passionated the relationship between them, they also want to be in a lovey-dovey relationship with their lovers.
Two more carriages arrive, from one of the carriages a man with a fresh and gentle look got off from the carriage, his gaze grew to soften when he found Yang Xi Ying, he dashed toward her as if no one else enters his sight "Finally you come out, do you know how long we are waiting for you" he complained but his words filled with indulgence.
Yang Xi Ying's heart fluttered, his husband had changed a lot after he interacts with Zhao Li Xin and the King palace, she wonders who teach him to be so sweet, can't be Zhao Li Xin isn't it?
"Are you waiting too long?" Yang Xi Ying giggles, her husband is so adorable, she likes it very much!
"Well, Not too long, are you tired?" he smiles warmly while holding her hand.
Ming Yue Yin mouth twitch, there's too many 'dog food' for today isn't it, why her best friend didn't spare a single dog like her?
She suddenly remembers someone and her eyes unconsciously search for someone but unfortunately, that person isn't there, her expression turns sullen and she pursed her lips in upset, suddenly Yun Wei Qun faces lean too close to her face, her reflex is taking two-step back and raising her fist on her chest, she almost hit Yun Wei Qun face.
"What?" Ming Yue Yin almost shouted in anger, can't he see she is in a bad mood!
The stupid friends thoughtMing Yue Yin is shy, he so confident to himself he missed the disgust filled her eyes.
"Her highness you must be new here, let me show you the most beautiful place at Yun Dao city, I assured you will not regret it" Yun Wei Qun believe no one can resist his charming smile. Yun Wei Qun is a handsome young man however his stupidity covers her prince charmed.
Ming Yue Yin instantly scrunched her face "No, thank you!" she takes long strides to the carriage without giving Yun Wei Qun to talk more, if she does there is a high possibility she would hit his stupid face.
Su Yi lifts the curtain to help Ming Yue Yin enter the carriages m just when she lifts her knee inside the carriage she almost stumbles backward from shocked, luckily she managed to hold the side of the carriage.
"HAH!" Ming Yue yin jolted exaggeratedly when he found large men sit on the lotus position while glaring furiously at her, she squinted her eyes and realizes who that is "Yuan Shao, you scare me to death!" she widens her eyes in anger, she almost draws her sword from her ring.
Yuan Shao face staring at her with a stern look then he scoffed "I just realize that I'm too patient in this relationship"
"Huh?" his words make her puzzled her, why he looks so angry?
Yuan Shao suddenly grabs her wrist and pull her into his embraces, Ming Yue Yin wince slightly when her nose hit his sturdy chest. She clueless about what happened, why Yuan Shao acted this way? the man she knows liked to keep a formal distance and always mind his manner in front of her, this is the first time she looking at her with passion burn in his eyes.
"Wh…what is going on?" the fierce empress suddenly loses her courage, she feel so embarrassed but excited at the same time it make her confuse she has a strong urged to runaway, but her body locked inside his strong arms.
"Yue Yin, I hope you don't think our relationship is only platonic, I want you to know that I really want you and I wanted you to bear my children in the future" he looks at her intensely as his low deep voice tingling her ear and her heart beating like a war drum.
"Ba..ba….baby?" she stuttered, why he suddenly talk about a baby.
Her timid reaction make her look defenseless and cute, this type of charmed even the stoic Yuan Shao couldn't bear it, he could feel the blood rush to his head and run below his waist, his breathing become erratic and he feel suffocated by his desire. This is the first time he ever felt like this to a woman.
As his body couldn't take it anymore he cupped her face gently then land his lips on her soft red lips he realizes he was craving this lip from the moment he met her, he wants her, he always does but the difference status between them make him hesitated, that's why he went so far away to make name for himself so he could become the man she deserves, he make her wait for him to return but he realizes how conceited he is.
Who doesn't tempted by a strong and beautiful woman like Ming Yue Yin, he lucky enough she still wait for him for a year but he should have known that his position is not certain, who knows if one day a man comes and swept her away because he always there, what if she changes her heart. Yuan Shao realizes how foolish he is, he should follow Zhao Li Xin's example.
He should make her cross the bridged and then burn the bridged before she realizes what happened!
