The Princess And The Lord

Chapter 328 - Meeting The Enemy II



"Lord Long Ming, I don't know you will be here? What a great coincidence" Yang Qiong Yan smiles so wide it almost touch his ear. After the last meeting Yang Qiong Yan heart becomes restless he worried what Zhao Li Xin would do, he knew someone like Zhao Li Xin never giving empty threat, he had sounded this news to Lao Min Na but she hasn't reached him back so he doesn't know what to do except prepare for the worst.

Zhao Li Xin doesn't bother to answer, he only gives Yang Qiong Yan quick glance before he shifts his gaze back to Lory while Lory stares back at him with questioning looks 'Why he looks angry suddenly?' Lory tilted her head while strokes his strong jawline. Her worry eyes soothe his anger like an oasis in the desert, he holds Lory hand that touches his jaw then he smiles back at her to show her he's okay. ​​

He's expression become gentle and his smiles brighten up the night suddenly hundreds of lantern on the street become dull compare to him, men and women halted there pace to take a glance on Zhao Li Xin mesmerizing smiles, the ladies stare at him with love-struck expression, some can't hold herself she bravely approach him.

"Young Master…" the lady greeted with bashful face.

Zhao Li Xin lift his head and suddenly the brightness in his eyes disappeared "What.." he glare at the stranged lady coldly.

The lady startled, why suddenly he becomes dark where is the dazzling smiles from before she thought this gentleman is kindhearted man, she squeezes her handkerchief on her hand nervously "I…..I…ehm, may I know this young master name, you look quite familiar" she coating her words so no one accused her as a loose woman who picks up a random guy on the street.

Zhao Li Xin frown with annoyance "No and I don't know you!" then he holds Lory's shoulder and ignoring the pitiful lady.

The blatant rejection make her face turn red like boiling crabs, she can hear other ladies laughing at her. She doesn't want to stay any longer "My mistakes" she bows her head and leaves in a flash. peoples would have guessed that lady will not show her face in public for a few weeks.

"You see, there's a lot of weird people out there so you understand why I'm worried if you leave alone" he warns Lory seriously. Even in this situation he takes advantages to justify his desire to confined Lory inside the Manor.

"I never go anywhere alone, I have Girsha with me" Lory pouts.

"I know but you must always bring shadow guards with you, you know what would I do if something happened with you" he pleads at Lory with his puppy eyes, of course, she can't say no if he make that face 'This is not fair!'

On the side Ming Yue Yin hear what Zhao Li Xin said she almost holler 'You massacre peoples!' thankfully she can stop herself.

Just like before the two of them flirting without regard for other people's presence, Yuan Shan eyes filled with envy why is that beautiful man treat that woman nicely, compare to herself that woman's appearance is so ordinary she's not matched with that handsome man at all.

"Master Long Ming" Yuan Shan suddenly called "My name is Yuan Shan, I'm Yuan Shao's sister, I always admired your reputation" she makes her voice as sweet as possible, at least she want to leave a good impression in front of Zhao Li Xin.

"Oh" he answers briefly. He doesn't even give Yua Shan a glance.

His quick answer make Yuan Shan exasperated but she can't do anything, she bites her lips to hold her anger, she looks at Yuan Shao for help but he only gives her mocking smiles, Yuan Shan doesn't understand why her owned brother don't want to help her if she able marry with Long Ming isn't their family who will have the benefit so why not help her this time.

"Brother…"Yuan Shan pleaded him to help her.

Yuan Shao snort in disdained "This lady is lord Long Ming fiancée, you should not bother Lord long ming farther because he's not a patient man" he warns Yuan Shan just to honor the blood relation between them wether she listening or not is her own choice.

Yang Qiong Yan already guessed the woman inside Long Ming embrace should be his fiancée "So this is miss Luo Ri Yi, It is very nice to finally put a face on the names" he greeted Lory courteously.

Lory could see this man is hiding a lot of things in his eyes, she let herself go from Zhao Li Xin embrace than she cupped her fist and bow graciously "Is a pleasure to meet you too Marquis Yang"

Yang Qiong Yan eyes flickering with interest 'so she's not a coward' he thought "Are you here to enjoy the Lantern Festival?"

"Yes, I am at first I want to go alone with Jiao Zi but my fiancée is a worrywart so he's coming with me and on the way we meet with General Yuan, I heard about General Yuan reputation so I insisted him to tag along" Lory narrated the relationship between them and Yuan Shao at the same time to warn Yuan Shan about her relationship with Zhao Li Xin.

Yang Qiong Yan can't believe lory words easily he still needs to investigate this later, he hopes Yuan Shao and Zhao Li Xin are not joined forces if they do then he would not have the chance. Yang Qiong Yan maintain his polite smiles "I never knew Lord Long Ming such a worrywart, you must be very precious for Lord Long Ming"

Lory see the gleam in Yang Qiong Yan vicious eyes, she can feel his eyes sizes her up and down, Lory smiles calmly "I'm a very fortunate woman" her modest answer intrigued Yang Qiong Yan.

"Let's go!" Zhao Li Xin pull Lory closer "We need to leave before the festival over"

"You right!" Lory cover her mouth in surprised, then she nods her head politely to Yang Qiong Yang "Marquis Yang, Miss Yang, Miss Yuan, I'm sorry we need to leave now, have a nice day" Lory hold Zhao Li Xin arms and both of them walk away, Ming Yue Yin make playful smiles then she prompt to followed Lory, Yuan Shao nods his head then he prepares to left but Yuan Shan called him.

"Brother can I follow you, we haven't spend time together since you return home" her words sound sad and hopeful but Yuan Shao knew what she want is not him, such a cunning woman just like her wretched mother.

"No, I'm busy today, if you want to talk let's talk at home!" he didn't gives Yuan Shan leeway.

"Brother Yuan, can we talk? I have something to say" Yang Wei Lan didn't want him to leave with that stranged woman somehow her heart becomes restless when she watches them together.

Yuan Shao feel annoyed "Miss Yang we are not close so I don't know what you want to talk about, I'm busy today so excuse me" he turns around and chassed Ming Yue Yin figures. The two women grind their teeth they look at each other and they share their hatred to the same enemy.

Meanwhile, Yang Qiong yan rubs his chin and contemplating, the two women with Zhao Li Xin seem not simple, he needs to investigated who they are and also what is Yuan Shao's relationship with Zhao Li Xin, this not good, he must contact Lao Min Na right away!

"Brother Yuan is that man really Long Ming?" Yuan Shan asked.

"He is" he nods his heads.

"About his fiancée. Do you know her background?" she probes farther, although she used to Like Yang Qiong yan but after she met Zhao Li Xin, Yang Qiong yan looks dull in her eyes and so she changed her target.

Yang Qiong Yan smirked "I don't know, the rumor said she was a maid before"

"A maid?" Yuan Shan dumbfounded "How could a maid become Long Ming fiancée, are you sure about it?" she can't believe a lowly maid could climb Zhao Li Xin bed.

Yang Qiong Yan shrug his shoulder "Well, that is the rumor but nothing concrete perhaps Long Ming only have a small fling, he is a man afterall"

"Yes, perhaps like that" Yuan Shan mutters.

Yang Qiong Yan sneered inwardly, he doesn't dare to provoke Zhao Li Xin but he can use this stupid woman to created disturbance and created a distraction to divided Zhao Li Xin attention away from him while he waited for Lao Min Na order, he can use Yuan Shan just like his Father used Qian Qin Wei, mother, and daughter both lack in brain capacity so is their faith to be used by other people.
