The Anarchic Consort

Chapter 209: Feeding His Highness

Translator: Misty Cloud Editor: Misty Cloud

“Why don’t you continue talking?” Baili Jia Jue stopped moving and it was as if a smile had fleeted by so quickly before it disappeared.

Although Helian Wei Wei felt that the matter was not handled properly, but it was still necessary to say out these words: “Your Highness, we have a contract that said that we must cooperate and help each other out, not to control or restrict each other.”

Baili Jia Jue did not look at her but he seemed to not take her words into account yet it also seemed somewhat distracted. Even when the hot tea that he was pouring had overflowed, he did not seem to notice it and only answered in a frosty tone: “What you mean is, you can only see Hei Ze while you do not need to care about This Lord here?”

“No.” When Helian Wei Wei saw the hot tea was about to touch the wound on his palm, she quickly reached out, held his left hand and pulled him to the side. She then reiterated, “I just think that we should not restrict and control each other’s freedom. If today, Your Highness wants to meet a woman and I do not allow you to go, Your Highness would definitely not feel comfortable. After all...”

“I won’t.” Before she could even finish her sentence, he had immediately interrupted her and said it in a cold tone very clearly, “This Lord knows whom This Lord is going to marry.”

In other words, it’s you who is unclear on whom you are going to marry.

Being told in such a manner by this man made a sense of guilt creep into Helian Wei Wei’s heart. According to common sense, the average couple usually avoids such taboo topics.

“Have you ever thought about it? If you lose your reputation before the martial qi competition, what would the consequences be?” Hearing his voice, there seemed to be no change in it but the clouds outside had suddenly gathered in a flurry. The gentle breeze had suddenly intensified and turned into a raging wind, when it blew past the ear, it was as if there were tens of thousands of war horses on a rampage. In a chilling tone, he said: “The consequence would be that you will not be able to marry into the royal family your entire life.”

Helian Wei Wei was just about to speak when she heard him continue, “This Lord will not allow anyone to come between our contract. If you insist on meeting him, then This Lord will have no other choice but to act and help the Hei Family discipline their Second Master.”

Helian Wei Wei was stunned momentarily, she had never imagined that things would have progressed and developed in such a direction. She had finally understood what everyone had been saying about the Third Prince’s methods.

All this while, he had been very indifferent to the point of seemingly being unconcerned.

His Highness was a person that as long as you do not touch his bottom line, everything could be easily discussed.

If one were to disrupt his plan, he would be very generous to show you the various means he ad and what he could do.

No matter what, in this game, she was just a chess piece. That was why for him to care about her reputation in this instance was also reasonable.”

Helian Wei Wei smiled sweetly as she looked up and said, “I got it.” She then went back to seat back at her original position in a polite manner, yet she suddenly seemed so distant.

A cooperation should be like a cooperation, although Third Prince says things in a ruthless manner, but what he said was the truth.

It was just that this had triggered off an alarm in her heart.

She would never be the chess piece of anyone.

This game was started by her, hence it should also be ended by her.

From now on, she had to think hard and plan carefully how to retreat and get out of it entirely.

It was because she had discovered that this partner she chose to cooperate with was more dangerous than she had thought initially.

If she did not pay attention, what lay ahead might just be just a deep dark abyss.

She liked to work with such people, which would make everything easier.

However, at the same time, she also knew that she had to be cautious of stepping back as well.

This game was not only for them to join hands to deal with others, it was also on how they supported each other.

In the face of such an evenly matched opponent, Helian Wei Wei felt that she was filled with fighting spirit. She was even thinking that after everything was finished, when she goes out to roam the world, she would look for Baili Jia Jue and challenge him.

For now, it was still best to know her own place.

As for Hei Ze’s side, she could only find time when she was back at the academy.

Baili Jia Jue found that he did not like her sudden obedience at this very moment. The distant feeling that she was emanating was as if there was an invisible wall that pushed him a meter away.

All of this just for a man called Hei Ze.

Hmph.

Great. This was just great.

Baili Jia Jue narrowed his eyes, his expression was arrogant yet lonely at the same time. His face was cold as if a blizzard had just blown by.

It was just a prey that he paid a little more attention to.

He slowed tightened his grip, he felt that everything was so ridiculous in his heart and he couldn’t help but squeeze the scroll in his hand.

The atmosphere in the carriage seemed to have dropped to a freezing point.

When Eunuch Sun flipped open the door curtain, he saw this scene and was hesitating whether or not to retreat.

Baili Jia Jue raised his head and glanced at him before he leaned back lazily. With one hand, he casually loosened his robe and placed his hand on one side and asked, “What is it?”

Something was wrong. Eunuch Sun knew his Master very well, whenever he was in a bad mood, he would act in this manner.

This was strange, according to what they said, His Highness’ mood had been relatively good throughout the journey. He even ordered for some refreshments to go along with the tea and said that it was specially for someone.

How did things turn out this way?

Eunuch Sun thought for a moment before he said, “Your Highness, would you like to pair this osmanthus cake with the tea? Or would you like me to get a honey pickled dessert instead?” He asked in a cautious manner as he held the tray in his hands.

“There’s no need.” The low voice of Baili Jia Jue could be heard despite the sounds of raindrops falling. “No one is eating it anymore.”

Hearing this, Eunuch Sun found that things weren’t right as he cast a careful glance in the direction of Helian Wei Wei.

Helian Wei Wei reached out and took the tray from him as she placed it by Baili Jia Jue’s side. After careful consideration, she said, “Your Highness’ wound can only recover faster if you eat more.”

The wind outside seemed to have weakened a bit.

Baili Jia Jue glanced at her and did not refuse. His gaze rested on his left hand before it darted over to her face.

Having being waiting by Baili Jia Jue’s side for so many years, Eunuch Sun instantly understood the meaning of His Highness. After a quick evaluation of the scene in front of him, he said: “Miss, His Highness’ hand is injured and it is not convenient for His Highness to eat. This old slave’s hands are dirty as well, so I can only seek Miss’ help to persuade His Highness to eat more.”

Not waiting for Helian Wei Wei to refute, Eunuch Sun quickly withdrew the carriage.

Helian Wei Wei was still hesitant on her side.

Over at the other side, Baili Jia Jue had already picked up a piece of the osmanthus cake with his hand that was wrapped with the white handkerchief. Most probably it was because that piece of cake had touched his wound, he furrowed his brows and that piece of cake fell off and rolled to her feet.

Helian Wei Wei did not give it much thought and immediately picked up another piece and brought it to his lips.

Just as she thought that he would take it from her with his hand, Third Prince opened his mouth and leisurely too a bite out of it. When he bit into it, he gently touched her fingertips. It was a sensation that was difficult to ignore and Helian Wei Wei couldn’t help but withdraw her hands immediately. However, looking at his knitted brows, she felt that she might have overreacted and it looked as if she was making a fuss out of nothing.....
