Wild Princess: Marrying an Ugly Prince

Chapter 176: There is No Shortcut to Love

When the carved wooden door of Bai Aoxue’s room was pushed, their conversation was in halfway, and they hadn’t had much for dinner.

Bai Aoxue and Jun Yeyan turned to look at the door.

They saw Nalan Youhong staggered into the room, with a flush face and a faraway look.

With the entry of Nalan Youhong, a strong smell of alcohol pervaded Bai Aoxue’s room.

Bai Aoxue frowned and looked at Nalan Youhong.

Jun Yeyan didn’t think that Nalan Youhong could make himself in such a state only for a while.

“What’s going on?” Jun Yeyan said coldly and looked at Nalan Youhong indifferently. But there was worry in his eyes.

He and Nalan Youhong had been supporting each other for many years and treated each other like their own brother. People all said that the Dark King was heartless, but only Nalan Youhong understood all his bitterness.

When he had nothing, Nalan Youhong decided to follow him and bet on his own life.

This’s why for so many years, no matter how many troubles Nalan Youhong made, he still solved for him. Because there was no need to say something between them. Because they’re brothers.

“I found you...You’re here...” Nalan Youhong looked at Jun Yeyan and Bai Aoxue, and said.

Then he took a few steps forward, and sat on the couch beside him.

“What’s wrong with you, Nalan Youhong?” Bai Aoxue asked him. She didn’t know what had happened between Nalan Youhong and Mumian before she came.

Nalan Youhong grinned at her, “Bai Aoxue! 5th Princess! I’m falling in love with Mumian!”

Bai Aoxue saw Nalan Youhong and said, “I know that.”

“But... But Mumian likes Zhao! She likes that zombie face! Tell me... What am I supposed to do?” Nalan Youhong made an alcohol hiccup to Bai Aoxue, and said loudly.

Bai Aoxue was walking back, but she was stopped by Nalan Youhong’s astonishing words, and looked at him surprisingly.

Jun Yeyan immediately reached out his hand, covered on Bai Aoxue’s cheek, blocked Nalan Youhong’s breath.

“Ha-ha... Mumian likes Zhao?” After a long time, Bai Aoxue pulled down Jun Yeyan’s hand and laughed. Her eyes were full of incredibility.

And Jun Yeyan also sighed helplessly after hearing these words. This guy was one-track minded, and troublesome.

Nalan Youhong heard the laughter of Bai Aoxue, and said angrily, “What? You don’t know? Are you even going to laugh at me?”

“Why do you think Mumian likes Zhao?” Bai Aoxue looked at Nalan Youhong, and asked.

“Why do I think so? She likes him all the time!” Nalan Youhong retorted loudly.

“Well, let me ask you, have you asked about Mumian’s thoughts? Or you don’t dare to ask her, so you just guess that!?” Bai Aoxue asked him again.

As soon as he heard Bai Aoxue’s words, Nalan Youhong paused for a while and then replied, “Why should I ask her? Can’t I see it?”

“If you really like Mumian, you should know what her thinks instead of moping here and misunderstanding her. How do you make Mumian like you if you behave in this way? Or how can I trust you to marry Mumian?” Bai Aoxue said coldly.

There was a kind of contempt in her words. It’s the disdain for a coward who dared not face himself, but pushed his emotions to others, and blamed them.

After Bai Aoxue saying it, the room was in silence.

Jun Yeyan saw Nalan Youhong staring at the ground and thinking something.

“If you really like Mumian, you shouldn’t be here now. You know? Nalan Youhong, you should know that some people will leave you when you don’t cherish them. There is no if and wait in your life. If you really want to lose Mumian, or let others get her, you can go on like this. Jun Yeyan and I can’t help you because there is no shortcut to love.” Bai Aoxue looked at Nalan Youhong and said again.

She did understand Mumian’s thought. If Mumian had no feelings for Nalan Youhong, she wouldn’t play with him every time she saw him.

All these just proved that she liked Nalan Youhong.

Nalan Youhong just didn’t understand it.

If these two people continued like this, they might really miss each other, and in that case, she would have to help them. She preferred to see Nalan Youhong move first than Mumian.

“Hong, Xue is right. There is no shortcut to love. If you want to get something, you have to lose another thing. Mumian and your pride, which one does you choose? Which one matters more?” Jun Yeyan looked at Nalan Youhong and said. This was what he could do for Nalan Youhong.

If he hadn’t decided yet, it’s useless for them to say so much.

Hearing Jun Yeyan’s words, Nalan Youhong thought for a while. Bai Aoxue also didn’t want to say more, just waiting for him to figure out. And there was only the sound that Bai Aoxue’s bowl and chopsticks accidentally collided together.

“I know what to do! Thank you!” Nalan Youhong suddenly stood up from the couch without his former depression, and looked at Bai Aoxue and Jun Yeyan in high spirits.

Bai Aoxue was relieved when she saw this. It was best for him to figure it out.

“Now that you know what to do, just go ahead.” Jun Yeyan said with a smile and glimpsed at Nalan Youhong.

Nalan Youhong didn’t stay any longer and quickly left the room.

Bai Aoxue and Jun Yeyan looked at each other and smiled. One hoped that Nalan Youhong would succeed, and the other hoped that Mumian would tantalize Nalan Youhong more times.

“Eat it while it’s still hot. We will go tomorrow morning and arrive in Yangzhou the day after tomorrow. So have a rest early.” Jun Yeyan picked up some food for Bai Aoxue and said softly.

Bai Aoxue nodded and didn’t say more.

After they finished the dinner, only Wenxi and Hongxiu came to clear the table. Looking at them, Bai Aoxue asked, “Where’s Mumian?”

She asked while knowing the answer.

Hongxiu blinked her bright eyes and looked at Bai Aoxue, and answered carefully, “Miss, Mumian was called out by Nalan Youhong!”

Wenxi looked at mysterious Hongxiu, and shook her head. Miss obviously knew everything. Only Hongxiu didn’t know that.

“Oh...” Bai Aoxue lengthened the tone and looked at Hongxiu unbelievably.

Hongxiu was anxious when she saw Bai Aoxue didn’t believe her. She came up to Bai Aoxue, and said, “Miss, I promise that this is really true. Nalan Youhong called Mumian on his own and Mumian was happy, and the two people left talking and laughing. I heard that Nalan Youhong was going to take Mumian see the scenery.”

Jun Yeyan’s mouth twitched when he heard Hongxiu’s words. What scenery could they see in this dusty place? How did Nalan Youhong come up with that idea?

“It’s too late, why do they see the scenery?” Bai Aoxue sipped tea.

“Miss, Mumian and Nalan Youhong were interested in each other. It was normal for them to see the scenery. Maybe Mumian will get marry soon after!” Hongxiu looked at Bai Aoxue contemptuously.

Bai Aoxue saw Hongxiu’s eyes, and didn’t know what to say after hearing her words.

Hongxiu really thought she didn’t know anything? So she came to despise her?!

Bai Aoxue touched her nose. There was a flash in her eyes and she said, “Let’s bet, Hongxiu. Just bet whether Mumian is going to marry soon.”

Hearing this, Hongxiu looked at Bai Aoxue warily. When she saw Bai Aoxue was not joking, Hongxiu cautiously said, “What if Miss does not allow Mumian to marry!?”

“Do you think I’m that person? If one of you tells me that you are going to marry, I will give you the richest dowry!” Bai Aoxue said gently, but there was no joke in her eyes.

“Wenxi and I will not marry. We’ll stay with Miss all the time. If Mumian wants to marry, then let her go! Anyway, she and Nalan Youhong are already together! We’re happy for her.” Hongxiu said anxiously after she heard Bai Aoxue’s words.

She never thought of getting married.

Bai Aoxue smiled softly and didn’t say more, but she was actually thinking, if later Hongxiu and Mumian get married, will she be a little lonely?

“Well, do you want to bet? I’ll bet on your two months’ salary. If I lose, I’ll give you two months’ salary, and if you lose, your next month’s salary will be mine.” She laughed.

Hongxiu heard this and still worried whether Bai Aoxue would cheat. But she thought if she won she could have two months’ salary, so she agreed without thinking.

“Okay! I bet Mumian will soon be married to Nalan Youhong!”

Wenxi looked at Hongxiu and blessed for her in heart, and thought how naive she was.

Bai Aoxue looked at Hongxiu who was full of confidence, and snickered, “Then I will bet she won’t marry Nalan Youhong within one year.”

“We can’t let Mumian know the bet!” Hongxiu said instantly. What if Mumian knew that and shared her money?

Bai Aoxue nodded and looked at the sky, “It’s too late, so you go back and have a rest. Tomorrow we’ll have to get up early and keep going.”

Wenxi and Hongxiu were also a bit tired today, so they nodded, cleaned things and left away.

When Jun Yeyan saw Bai Aoxue rubbing her eyes, he held her hands and said, “Go to rest, and I’ll ask them to find Hong and Mumian. Don’t rub your eyes. This is not good.”

Bai Aoxue felt the warmth in her hands and nodded.

She never thought of her own life, but she was grateful that he was companying with her.
