Chapter 442 - 160: Mockery_2
Yueyao’s mockery was so evident that everyone present could hear it. Bai Yi gave a gentle smile; it seemed he had misunderstood her earlier.
Ning Lixuan naturally detected Yueyao’s sarcasm and his face reddened instantly. He did not like Mingzhu at all; the thought of her made him want to avoid her, so how could he possibly know how tall Luo Mingzhu was now?
The young servant by Ning Lixuan’s side looked displeased and stepped forward to defend his master, "Miss, our Heir Apparent has already admitted to mistaking someone else for you and has apologized. What more do you want?"
Yueyao snorted with laughter. "I’m speaking to your master and you, a mere servant, dare to interrupt? The rules of the Duke Mansion are indeed eye-opening," Yueyao was mocking the Duke Mansion for having no rules.
Used to being flattered, Ning Lixuan’s anger rose after being mocked by Yueyao twice in a row. Just as he was about to retort, he was held back by Shen Conghao, who whispered a few words to him. Ning Lixuan glanced at Yueyao, suppressed his anger, bowed politely, and said softly, "Miss, it was our mistake. However, this was only a misunderstanding, and I hope you won’t take it to heart." Although he did not know why the young lady had come to Four Treasures Square without her family, he knew her status couldn’t be low. Moreover, as a man, it was not appropriate for him to quibble with a young lady.
Normally, Yueyao would not persist like this when she was in the right, but today, for some reason, she was a bit irritated. She didn’t let it go even after Ning Lixuan’s words, instead coldly stating, "Take it to heart? What have I taken to heart? I was just stating the facts."
Ning Lixuan didn’t expect the young lady before him to be as unreasonable as Luo Mingzhu. It truly seemed that birds of a feather flock together.
The smile died on the face of Ning Lixuan as the young servant stepped forward to mock Yueyao, "We’ve seen plenty of such tricks before, please stop harping on it, Miss." The young servant stopped just short of accusing Yueyao of trying to entice Ning Lixuan.
Ning Lixuan, being handsome and the Heir Apparent of the Duke Mansion, naturally was a highly sought-after match. Thus, he often had chance encounters with certain young ladies, and there were even those who threw themselves at him. The young servant thought of this because Yueyao had been staring at his young master for quite a while, which led him to such a conclusion.
