Chapter 1362: Falling into the Fire Pit
Now, the Fourth Prince astonishingly claims he’s not doing well at the War Prince’s Mansion, which is utterly ridiculous.
Xuexue turned her face away, avoiding his gaze, with a cold expression: "Fourth Prince, I am a married woman, please refrain from addressing me by my maiden name to avoid misunderstandings that could tarnish my reputation and yours as well."
Xuexue felt sick to her stomach; did this scumbag really think she would foolishly fall for his crafted illusion of love as she did in her past life?
In her past life, it might have seemed sweet.
But now, just the thought of it makes her want to vomit.
In her past life, she was truly blind to have loved a wolf in sheep’s clothing.
With his incessant "married woman," the Fourth Prince’s brow furrowed, his face grew dark, and the atmosphere became tense.
To Situ Yongjie, the Fourth Prince was a formidable figure not to be offended, so he quickly put on a smile: "Hehe... it’s cold outside, let’s not stand here freezing, everyone come inside and we can talk."
Celestial Master Zhang was also astute and swiftly changed the subject: "You don’t say, the wind at the General’s Mansion’s gate is quite strong, oh dear, it’s so cold that I have goosebumps."
He said this while hugging himself and rubbing vigorously, as if it was really cold.
The group grandly made their way to the front hall and took their seats.
All along the way, the Fourth Prince’s gaze never left Xuexue, while Situtu Qinger kept her eyes fixated on him. Seeing his affectionate gaze constantly on Xuexue, a trace of resentment flashed across her face.
However, she was clever and knew that young lads from noble families disliked jealous women, let alone the Fourth Prince who was a royal, with even higher standards.
