She stood her ground. “I was pretending because I dressed up? That’s such an ungracious accusation.”
Feng Xun smirked. “Ungracious? I’m speechless! I can’t believe that you can say such things. Feng Wu, you really are a piece of work!”
As she played the fool to pull Feng Xun this way and that, Feng Wu racked her brain for a way out.
She never expected these people to return!
Feng Xiaoqi stared eagerly at all the dishes on the table as he rubbed his empty stomach. He felt like crying.
All that food was within his reach, but he wasn’t allowed to eat. That had to be the greatest torture of all!
Hence, in order to get on with his meal ASAP, Feng Xiaoqi said, “You people were the reason my sister dressed up in the first place!”
All eyes were on this pretty teenager at those words.
Feng Xiaoqi went on, “It’s the truth! You’re all the crown prince’s people, and His Royal Highness is here himself! Wasn’t dressing up what my sister was supposed to do? Would any girl react any differently?!”
That successfully shut Feng Xun up… he wanted to retort, but all words failed him…
The beautiful lady was going to confess that it was her idea to get Feng Wu polished up, but seeing how angry Feng Xun was, she pursed her lips and kept her silence, deeming it not a big deal after all.
However, Feng Wu found it a very big deal!
Because the look Feng Xun was giving her was so strange!
And there was Jun Linyuan! The guy wasn’t like his usual self at all!
From what she could remember, Jun Linyuan had never liked to be mentioned in connection to any girl. However, his intense gaze had been on Feng Wu the whole time ever since he stepped into the courtyard, which made Feng Wu’s heart race as she felt all twitchy!
“Feng Wu, you’re not in love with His Royal Highness, are you?” Fairy Muyao, who had remained quiet, spoke all of a sudden!
Those words struck everyone else like a thunderbolt!
Whoosh!
All eyes turned to Feng Wu instantly!
Even Jun Linyuan was staring at Feng Wu now…
Shocked by that question, Feng Wu took a step back and waved her hands. “What? Of course not! I was just being polite! That was all!”
“More excuses!” Feng Xun snickered. “You like Boss Jun and that was why you dressed up like that and pretended to be all gentle and virtuous. You thought you could attract Boss Jun that way, didn’t you?!”
Feng Wu could feel Jun Linyuan’s gaze bore into her skin, and her cheeks burned!
His gaze was sharper than a needle and hotter than fire!
Feng Wu felt the hairs on the back of her neck stand up… Jun Linyuan was pissed. The guy hated it when girls showed affection — he wouldn’t hesitate to take lives when he was really angry!
At the thought of that Nine Transformation Spirit Restoration Pill which she hadn’t had a chance to refine and her weepy mother and naive brother, Feng Wu waved her hands right away. “No! You’re mistaken! There’s no way I’m in love with him! You’ve got to be kidding me!”
“The harder you try, the more you’re exposed.” Now that Feng Wu was exasperated, Feng Xun calmed down. With his hands behind his back, he casually said, “Your explanation shows how much you want to cover it up, which means you’re telling lies. Feng Wu, you’re actually a pretty good storyteller.”
