Chapter 286: The Invite
Xing who was blaming herself till then got triggered by what the Emperor said and the tone he used.
There were a lot of things wrong in what he said. Rijun is her brother and her brother sometimes gets excited and hugs her and that would be a rare occurrence. He usually sticks to her whenever Mo Chen is around.
And Haru... How can he talk about him? What if I ate from his chopsticks? And why is he bothered by it when even Chenglei doesn’t?
Then she realised all of the things happened would have avoided if the Emperor didn’t enter her carriage and called her ’Xing ’.
Wasn’t he the main reason? And I even trusted him when he said he did nothing to me and loosened my waistband only to help me breathe !
Isn’t he getting too bold?
"Oh, really?", she snorted and her golden eyes looked at him as if they would burn him.
"You are comparing yourself to Haru..? To Haru? Haru and I grew up together eating in the same bowl and drinking from the same cup for more than ten years. We even slept in the same bed right till I left the village. Never once did I feel uneasy with him or unsafe! ", she walked closer to the Emperor and poked his chest,
" You loosened my waistband to helpe breathe..? You know what? With Haru, I’ll never have to worry because he never will touch the clothes I’m wearing. He’d have slapped me to my senses or poured cold water over me to wake me up...
And I hugged you and you let me...? Haru would have punched me in the face and stopped me.... He’d never sit next to me with his face inches away from my lips and stare at me like a pervert! So there... There is your reason why you are being treated differently! ", she pushed him back and he lost his balance and fell on the seat.
" You know what? I’m done with you! ", she waved her hands and snorted," Listen to me... You are not MY brother! You are Chenglei’s brother and that is the only reason I’m putting up with everything... Well! That, and the fact that your death will cause many unwanted things to happen and I’ll have to find a new heir to the throne and build the kingdom from scratch to finish my duties! Otherwise you’d be in pieces sticking to the walls of the carriage by now...", Xing clenched her fists in front of him and looked down on the Emperor with him staring at her dumbfounded.
Whoa! Scary!
