Wei Wei happened to be hungry, so she picked up the pastries and ate them without reservation, yet she could still still hear the barely audible noises from inside.
“Allow her to come in.”
That voice seemed to carry a mixture of sounds, even the hoarsely deep and low tones were sexy to the extreme.
“Yes. Your Highness.”
Shadow led Wei Wei inside. The faintly discernible dividing curtain outlined an aloof figure.
“Come here.” Baili Jia Jue was actually sitting on the floor, his body covered in a classically styled black nightgown. His clothes half exposed the long and wavy dark black hair flowing down messily along both sides.
When Wei Wei entered, what she saw was that scene. The aloof and remote Third Prince really just sat on the brown floor, his back was leaning against the wooden bed, his two long legs casually bent up, his two arms resting on top of his knees. Even a somewhat powerful posture like this, when he was the one in this position, it also gave off a domineering gracefulness.
After hearing the sound of movement, he turned towards her direction and took a glance. Within the long and narrow phoenix-shaped eyes, floated a hint of wine. His thin lips opened then closed, as if he was mulling over something.
Out of the corner of his eyes, he glimpsed Wei Wei’s puzzled expression. Baili Jia Jue smoothly took out a piece of unopened candy from within his gown and threw it at her while indifferently saying, “Go ahead and eat.”
As it turned out, she was in the middle of eating a malt sugar candy.
However…
As Wei Wei looked at the thing in the palm of her hand and looked again at the man pulling on his collar, she was absolutely certain that Third Prince was quite possibly drunk.
No way. As reserved as he was, he absolutely wouldn’t take snacks that he carried on himself and throw it to someone else to share with him.
Baili Jia Jue saw that she didn’t eat the thing he gave her. He apathetically, calmly, and slowly scanned her face and seemed like he’d identified her after moment, then said as if it was completely unrelated, “Don’t call me Your Highness,” paused, his tone carried a trace of annoyance, “Each and everyone of you address me this way. Have you guys been teaming up?”
Wei Wei: ….
He really was drunk.
This…the drunk Highness was a bit too cute, OMG!
Wei Wei impishly looked at him. “I’ll help you get up first.” Taking advantage of a moment when no one’s around, she’ll remove the silver mask from his face, and have a good look at what in the world he looked like.
But she didn’t expect to be brushed aside indifferently by Baili Jia Jue in the end. He rubbed and rubbed his forehead, appearing very guarded. “Go pour water.” His voice carried a kind of slight hoarseness, resembling the finest cello’s timbre flowing out as it’s being played, a graceful, deep and profound texture.
Truly deserved to be Third Prince. Even though he was drunk, he still wouldn’t allow anyone to manipulate him, so much so that the innate leadership aura he emitted even became more and more distinct. The order he gave certainly was very clear.
Pouring water was but an effortless and undemanding task. Wei Wei brought the cup over and stooped down to give it to him.
Nevertheless, Baili Jia Jue didn’t take it and only bent his head down low, long eyebrows furrowed fiercely, within the pitch-black phoenix eyes there originally was only deathly stillness, yet upon her attentive gaze, there emerged a bit of a devilish aura. Sizing her up in an indifferent, inquisitive manner, “Who are you, so obedient.”
Wei Wei:…
She’s been busy rushing there and here, yet he didn’t even know who she was.
Should she say of Third Prince, ‘important people have short memories’ (said with good-natured sarcasm), or should she say that he drank so much that he’s lost his mind.
No matter what it was, the handkerchief had already been delivered, the water had already been poured, so she also should leave already.
It’s just that, she didn’t anticipate that as she was just about to get up, her wrist was pulled by the palm of his hand…
