Reborn: Femme Fatale First Daughter

She was now pouting her red lips, glancing at Feng Yuran with a pair of watery eyes. Her expression seemed to say that if Feng Yuran dared to bring it up, she would readily do it regardless of everything. “The royal kids are really demanding. All of them enjoy bullying people. One made me kneel on the granite pavement despite the chilling winter weather; while the other required me to kneel just because I haven’t done it in front of him before.”

“She’s an honest kid and down-to-earth, and now, she looks so angry, wronged, and upset.” Seeing Mo Xuetong’s complicated expression, Feng Yuran couldn’t help feeling light-hearted so he chuckled. “There’s no need. It’ll be too much for me. Don’t go to that Qin party next time, and then you won’t have to run into Fifth Princess. She’s been rude since a child. She lacks proper manners.”

“More importantly, she won’t bump into Bai Yihao either. I’m sure Mo Xuetong won’t take a fancy to anybody else except Bai Yihao. I really can’t say for sure about Bai Yihao. He’s real trouble. Though I don’t fear him, we’ll both suffer if we confront each other. In that way, I’m afraid someone else will take advantage of us.

“I’ll never do something like that. And I’m also sure that Bai Yihao won’t let anybody else to be the oriole behind our back. I think that’s why we two have been on friendly terms all this time.

“We both know we’re equally capable, so why do we have to fight to let others pick up the treasure?”

Mo Xuetong smiled. “Does Her Highness fancy Sir Bai?” Mo Xuetong didn’t expect to hear Feng Yuran call people rude. Few would believe Mo Xuetong even if she spread the word out. However, in terms of being arrogant, if Feng Yuran was ranked second in the list, no one dared to claim themselves the top one across the entire kingdom of Great Qin.

Feng Yuran rolled his eyes and languidly opened his mouth, he deliberately answered ambiguously, “Well, I can’t say for sure about her and Bai Yihao’s relationship. Anyway, Father is always fixing those two up. But we haven’t heard anything from the Yan Kingdom yet. They might want to wait until the Fifth Sister grows up and can handle things.”

In fact, Bai Yihao didn’t agree at all. The Yan Kingdom Empress didn’t push things either, as if she wasn’t so keen about having a niece as her daughter-in-law. Hence, this marriage had been pending. It was the internal affairs of the Yan Kingdom royalty, thus Emperor Zongwen couldn’t have pressed them. He could only hope the two could grow to admire each other in time and then restored the good relationship between the two countries through a marriage. Therefore, though he knew Fifth Princess had been throwing herself at Bai Yihao, he just let her.

In time, should Bai Yihao finally fall for Fifth Princess, he would naturally figure out a way to marry her; if not, Emperor Zongwen didn’t think there was anything he could do to help at all.

Well, of course, Feng Yuran wouldn’t explain things clearly in that way to Mo Xuetong.

However, Mo Xuetong swiftly detected the ambiguity in Feng Yuran’s words, which made her surer of her speculation. She had guessed the relationship between Fifth Princess and Bai Yihao right. That was why Fifth Princess had been so hostile to every girl who approached Bai Yihao. Luckily, she didn’t tell the princess that Bai Yihao insisted on taking her as his disciple back then. Otherwise, on that day, she would have suffered more than kneeling.

Her bright eyes fell on Feng Yuran. She decided to leave. “Your Highness, it’s not early. I’ll go back.”

Looking around, Mo Xuetong suddenly became uneasy. Though few people lingered at the shop, the guards were guarding the door as if they wanted to hide what was happening in the booth. She couldn’t quite understand how the cautious Feng Yuran would have done such a thing.

Seeing her blush and fidgeting in the room, Feng Yuran had a light smile on his delicate lips, so he gently reminded her. “Alright, go back then. You don’t have to go to that Qin party since I’m also good with Qin.”

However, whoever heard these words would have interpreted it in some other way.

He was good at bragging. While mocking the man in the heart, she put on a smile on her face. “I’m sure Your Highness can play the Qin well.”

By now, Feng Yuran finally dropped the idea of bothering her. He waved, signaling the guards to clear the way. Mo Xuetong led Mo Yu and Mo Ye out of the bookstore. After the three getting in, the carriage slowly rode on.
