Pampered Poisonous Royal Wife – o

Looking into Hepburn Jess’s indifferent eyes, Edith took several deep breaths. Good! Very good! Hepburn Jess! Emory! Just you wait!

Sitting back down, Edith swallowed her anger and replaced it with a friendly smile.

"I appreciate Mrs. Gu’s sentiments, but I am of the Country Zi Royal Family and cannot marry just any man. My grandmother once said that the one who matches me must be the best man, like General Gu, for example." As she spoke, Edith cast a tender glance at Gu Yelin, with undisguised affection in her eyes.

Seeing Edith flirt with her husband, An Yiqing reacted with laughter rather than anger, "Oh? That’s truly a shame. A man like Ah Lin is one of a kind in this world; it seems Princess Edith has no chance of finding another. Ah Lin, if only you knew the Doppelganger Technique, you could create another Ah Lin and fulfill Princess Edith’s wish."

Gu Yelin gently kissed the girl’s forehead, gazing at her with focused eyes, "Even if there were a second Gu Yelin, a third, a fourth, or even ten thousand Gu Yelins, they would all love An Yiqing alone. In this world, no matter how many Gu Yelins there are, they would only love An Yiqing."

An Yiqing hadn’t expected Gu Yelin to confess publicly; warmth filled her heart, and she smiled sweetly. No longer bothering with Edith’s intentions, she clung to Gu Yelin’s arm, resting her head on his shoulder, smiling warmly and feeling extremely happy.

Hepburn Jess watched them with envy in his eyes. Emory glanced at Edith’s darkened face with a smile, thinking this woman was truly clueless.

Edith hadn’t anticipated Gu Yelin’s lack of cooperation; she was so angry her heart trembled, yet she continued to smile.

Watching the tenderness between An Yiqing and Gu Yelin, she had a thought, and a plan formed in her mind.

"General Gu, Mrs. Gu. We’ve had such a delightful conversation today, it’s truly hard to part. How about this: after the banquet ends tonight, would you both come to my place for a casual dinner?"

Emory furrowed his brow, "Edith!"

Edith seemed not to hear him, turning to smile at Emory, "By the way, Emory, since you are friends with Miss An, why don’t you join us too? How does that sound?"

Emory frowned, feeling uneasy. Gu Yelin remained silent, leaving the decision to An Yiqing. Hepburn Jess lowered his gaze, lost in thought.

An Yiqing gave a meaningful smile, "Since Princess Edith has invited us, Ah Lin and I would be honored to accept."

The first-day banquet of the World Business Association concluded at three in the afternoon. Everyone gradually left the hotel, with An Yiqing and Gu Yelin walking hand in hand toward the main entrance to wait for their car.

"General Gu," Edith approached with a charming smile on her exquisite face, "Don’t forget about tonight. I’ll be waiting for you at home."

Oh! This blatant flirtation was too brazen!

An Yiqing shook her head amusingly, smiling. Gu Yelin acted as if he hadn’t heard, wrapping a shawl around An Yiqing. There are too many lechers; one shouldn’t show too much skin.

Without a response from Gu Yelin, Edith felt a bit awkward. An Yiqing humorously glanced at Gu Yelin and decided to smooth things over.

"I’ll remember, Princess Edith. Farewell."

Edith curled her lips and angrily left the hotel, stomping off in heels. Emory gave An Yiqing an apologetic glance and followed her.

In the car heading back to the hotel, An Yiqing and Gu Yelin sat side by side. Zhang Yuksheng and Xing Bin explained the day’s events to An Yiqing, and after finishing, they took a sip of water and noticed Zhang Yufeng looking upset.

"Xiao Feng, what’s wrong?" the elder brother asked.

Zhang Yufeng glanced at An Yiqing, shaking her head.

Zhang Yuksheng was puzzled, full of questions as he looked at An Yiqing. An Yiqing laughed, leisurely smoothing her skirt, "It’s nothing serious, someone’s interested in Ah Lin and invited us to dinner tonight."

"Oh?! Someone’s trying to poach from us, huh?!" Zhang Yuksheng was surprised, then glanced at Gu Yelin and laughed heartily, "That girl is too unlucky; she chose the wrong person to covet General Gu. Everyone knows General Gu’s foundation is diamond-hard; they’ll exhaust themselves trying!"

"Exactly, so tonight we’re going to see what’s happening and enjoy ourselves. But Xiao Feng worries I’ll be wronged and wants to teach a lesson to that dinner host. I told her not to at the risk of her getting sulky." An Yiqing chuckled, not forgetting to pinch Zhang Yufeng’s cheek.

Zhang Yufeng puffed out her cheeks, indulging in a rare moment of brattiness. Persons like that young lady are such a bother! Causing concern!
