“Wei Wei?” Heize raised his brows. When did his grandfather become so amiable? Huh, there must be something going on.
Old Master Hei simply waved his hand, “Go on.”
“Goodbye.” Helian Wei Wei did not overstay her welcome, she had an appointment after all.
As they were sitting in the same carriage, after the oil lamp was lit, Heize would surely notice something that others did not. He inquired, “What happened to your neck?”
My neck? Helian Wei Wei reached up to touch her neck, glancing sideways at her reflection in the bronze mirror.
Immediately, her face became burningly hot.
She recalled Chi Yan’s slightly cold gaze in the military camp.
She had only realized that it was all the fault of His Highness leaving his mark!
“This doesn’t really look like a mosquito bite,” Heize remarked with a sneer in his eyes. However, he was a little astonished.
He understood very well what kind of a person the Third Prince of the current imperial court was. He was indifferent and distant externally and internally. Although he was courteous, in reality he would not get close to anyone.
He had his own set of principles and would never quarrel with anyone, but you could feel his displeasure and the pressure he subconsciously put on you… Thus, until now, even the elders of the four influential families did not dare to offend him.
When Wei Wei was about to marry the Third Prince, Heize was worried that she would become his pawn because she did not have the support from an influential family.
He assumed the Third Prince married her because of the pressure from the Retired Emperor.
However, the Third Prince’s behavior toward Wei Wei made Heize’s jaw drop. The Third Prince was a severe germaphobe that absolutely hated having bodily contact with anyone. Thus, Heize never would have imagined he would brazenly leave a hickey on another person’s neck… It was so brazen, like how he treated his private possessions.
Some people claimed that the Third Prince merely entered the bridal chamber on the wedding night to maintain Wei Wei’s dignity.
When did His Highness learn to take others’ opinions into consideration? In most situations, he just did things his own way!
Did the Third Prince actually make a move because he could not help it anymore?
Then, Heize looked at Helian Wei Wei with sympathy. It was indeed more tormenting than being a pawn to be chosen by a man like the Third Prince, even having to be ‘branded’ before leaving the house…
Helian Wei Wei saw the look in Heize’s eyes and immediately knew that he had guessed everything correctly. Thus, she did not bother to hide it. With a slight raise of her eyebrows, she said, “Based on your experience, how long will it take for this mark to disappear?” She could not possibly wander around the academy with a love bite on her neck constantly.
“Looking at this amount of force he used, it has to be at least two to three days.” Heize smiled gloatingly.
Helian Wei Wei shot him a glance. “Looks like I’ll have to buy a robe with a higher collar.”
“Bring the Third Prince with you, let him spend some money,” said Heize, to which Helian Wei Wei was quite satisfied with.
Soon, the two of them arrived at the place where they had to part ways.
Unexpectedly, Helian Wei Wei had just hopped off the carriage when she saw Yun Biluo and the others returning to the academy at the same time…
