She had done all these solely for the purpose of 'courting her wife'.
"Ahem..." Helian Wei Wei cleared her throat first before putting on a smile, her midnight-like dark eyes were filled with indescribable love. "I have something for you, you would be my man in the future if you accept it. You would be mine, no matter poor or rich, dead or alive, do you accept it?"
Baili Jia Jue stared at her, his originally cold eyes became as limpid and clear as spring water, simple and naive like an angel. He did not say yes but he did not say no either.
At the moment, Heize could not take it anymore. Finally, he heard Helian Wei Wei asking the question, so immediately he created a disturbance, "Say yes! Say yes!"
Perhaps it was because of him shouting that sentence, more blessing words could be heard around them.
Baili Jia Jue lifted a corner of his lips, looking at Helian Wei Wei with a deeper meaning, "Okay, I'll allow you to have me to yourself." I will let you monopolize me tonight...
I knew proposing is a sure win tactic in courting a wife!
Helian Wei Wei put on a smiling expression and took out a black woolen case from her pocket. She opened the case, revealing two thin circle platinum rings.
There were no jewels embedded on the rings, but there were variants of a wave in the middle of the rings, one flowing toward the left while another flowing toward the right. It became a platinum little heart when both the rings were overlapping together.
While she was just about to put it on Baili Jia Jue's finger, she was held horizontally by him. Her dark long hair fell perpendicularly over her cloak, sweeping across the cold staircase and the valuable carpet again and again.
Comments and sighs flooded through the room, covering the bustling all around the world.
Owing to the fact that they could not believe what they just saw at all.
That man who always existed as a God.
Their most respectable and heartless Third Prince would actually take the initiative to carry a woman!
Naturally, Heilian Wei Wei could feel those glances of people firing at her. She could not help but bury her head in his good-smelling c.h.e.s.t...
Chapter 429 - Feeding Each Other
Baili Jia Jue put his arms around the person who was leaning on the bookshelf. He was so arrogant that he would never tell the person in his arms that he was actually the one who could not let go.
Just like a man who had been staying in the dark for far too long, he had suddenly seen the first ray of sunlight, feeling the warmth and dazzling of the light.
He instinctively wanted to hold onto the light and never let it go...
A violent collision brought a sweet and numb sensation, causing Helian Wei Wei to tighten her hand and pulled out those stacks of scrolls.
The Xuan papers fell onto the ground, she could hear a noise behind her but she could not care less anymore.
The ultimate happiness surpassed everything.
The connection between their feelings had brought them closer and made them fond of the feeling of getting a close physical relationship.
Those servants who were guarding outside were sharp-witted, all of them pretended as if they did not hear anything.
There were officials who came over to look for the Third Prince since such a serious incident had happened. Helian Jiao Er was simply killed following His Highness' order. Regardless of whether it was the General's residence or Prime Minister Su, they would not let it go easily.
However, none of them dared to say anything to Baili Jia Jue as Helian Jiao Er had committed a serious crime by intending to kill the princess consort. Apart from the elders from the four influential families, the others would not be able to cause any big stir no matter what they did.
Su Yan Mo was bursting into tears as she was forbidden to enter the palace.
It merely took two months for the Su Family to fall to such a state unknowingly.
It slowly came to Madam Su's realization that those privileges that used to belong to her were vanishing gradually.
Even though she has martial Qi, even though she has become the Third Princess Consort.
She's just an orphan, how can she fight against those bigwigs?
She never expected her to work her way so steadily.
First, Helian Wei Wei broke her source of income in Jiang Nan. Then, she seized the opportunity to hit her father with a devastating setback on the matter of manufacturing weapons.
From that day onward, the three words 'Prime Minister Su' would provoke laughter whenever it was mentioned in the court.
Now, that little bastard went so far as to!
Went so far as to kill her most precious daughter!
Su Yan Mo's eyes reddened. All these were happening too soon, and there was no time for them to figure out a way or to pull some strings before they received the news of Jiao Er's death. Is there anything crueler than seeing one's child dies before oneself?
It was all because of that little b*stard!
One of them lost her life, while the other lost all her reputations.
She would make that little b*stard pay for all these!
Doesn't she want to come back?
She would deliberately go against her wish!
"Su An, go and make arrangements. Pull all the strings you can from my father's side. I want to know the current general of the hidden army. Find out where he is, no matter how much it costs!"
"Yes."
"And also, pay a visit to those elders from the respective families and ask them if they need an explanation for the death of Phoenix Girl."
"Yes."
"After finishing all these, go and visit all the people responsible for the respective Helian families. Make sure they will support Master in the Clan Meeting! I want to see with my own eyes the moment that little b*stard is cast out of this house like a disowned dog!"
"Yes, madam."
After Su An retreated, Su Yan Mo's face was distorted by hatred. All she wanted now was none other than making Helian Wei Wei feel the pain of losing someone too.
The fog was heavy during the night.
The crowd on the bustling street gradually decreased, leaving a shadow that was as straight and tall as a bamboo. The man was wearing a white robe, followed by a little one carrying a gourd on his back.
"Master." The little one could not help raising his head to observe the man's facial expressions. Then, he reached out his hand and touched his fingers.
So cold!
The little one could not help but worry. "Master, let's go back." Master has been standing here for one whole day. His body will not be able to take it if he keeps standing here.
The man coughed lightly. His dark eyes were watery, warm and clean. "Did you see that just now? Ahem, she was proposing to him."
"Master..." the little guy answered in dismay, "Master, you have said before that she is not completely awake now. She will be able to recognize you the day she is fully awake!"
The man chuckled and put his hand on the forehead. Howling wind and torrential rain swept over from his back. There was too much resentment inside the dark clouds. "Go, find a way to wake her up!"
"Yes, Master!" A pair of red eyes glanced at every corner of the street, looking so evil and gloomy. It was doomed to have no such thing as peace in the future...
Helian Wei Wei woke up from a nightmare, she stared absent-mindedly at the person lying beside him. His handsome face seemed unreal under a thin ray of light.
Helian Wei Wei gazed at him for a while and raised her finger to poke him.
Baili Jia Jue frowned his long eyebrows and was just about to ask the person who disturbed him to get lost, just like what he used to do before.
He saw Helian Wei Wei in his arms when he opened his eyes.
Men are the most deadly attractive when they just wake up. Helian Wei Wei never really understood the sentence before. Now that she met His Highness, she realized that there was really a type of man in the world that you would want to thr
ow yourself at him the moment you looked at him.
"What do you want to eat later?" Baili Jia Jue pulled over her fingers and brought it near to his lips. He gave a kiss on her fingers.
Helian Wei Wei started to think over this question seriously and gave Baili Jia Jue a tough question in the end, "I want to eat tiramisu."
"What's that?" Baili Jia Jue raised his eyebrows as he had never heard about that before.
Helian Wei Wei licked her thin lips and explained, "It's a type of cake. It's soft and sweet when you put it into your mouth, it tastes a little bit bitter as well. Hmm… I want to eat."
"Soft, sweet but a little bit bitter?" Baili Jia Jue stared at her as he said that. He suddenly leaned over to kiss her on her lips. "This one?"
Helian Wei Wei smiled and kissed him back. "No, but it can't be bought here. Let's just eat the apricot cakes, it's the same."
"Okay," Baili Jia Jue agreed verbally, but that was not what he was thinking in his mind.
He could tell what the place that Helian Wei Wei used to live before actually looked like from her words.
There was a dessert known as tiramisu that could not be found here.
Baili Jia Jue's eyes darkened, he tightened his hands around her.
Helian Wei Wei took a bite of the apricot cake and looked at him with bloated cheeks, "What's wrong?"
"Nothing." Baili Jia Jue knew that she must be starving, but they did not leave their bed. The small snack box with a lot of desserts inside was just at a hand-reach distance. He wiped away those food residues from the corner of her lips.
She did not forget to feed him while she was eating. She would say, "This one tastes better."
Basically, he would eat whatever she fed him.
His Highness dislikes eating with others on the same table since young.
When he grows up, everything that he uses is the most luxurious one.
The whole empire shall be celebrating now that he is no longer picky about food, easy to serve and has been cured of mysophobia!
However...
Chapter 430 - Deep-seated Adoration
Eunuch Sun realized that he was wrong. His Highness was not mysophobic only when it happened to be the princess consort.
He's still the same when it comes to them!
"Clean it up, don't get the blood everywhere." Baili Jia Jue stood outside the palace. He took out his white handkerchief and wiped his fingers as he gazed at the people bowing down on the floor. "Don't let me hear the word 'disastrous' ever again."
"Yes, yes…"
The legs of the eunuchs in-charge gave way out of fear.
They turned their gaze at Third Prince and saw a quick shift of expression on his face. He curled his lips into a faint smile, obviously, it was because the princess consort was here.
They knew the rules and immediately dismissed themselves.
Helian Wei Wei's lips jerked in annoyance. Is she really that ugly?
Why do they look as if they have encountered a ghost when they see her?
She had undoubtedly restored her appearance...
"What's wrong with the eunuchs?" Helian Wei Wei asked the prince who was standing at the side.
Baili Jia Jue pulled her into his embrace and said in an indifferent tone, "I guess they are rushing home to eat."
Helian Wei Wei grumbled in her mind, Please, it's such an obvious lie!
Baili Jia Jue smiled and kissed her forehead as she was squinting her eyes at him. He chuckled and said, "Let me carry you in, I think you'll find today's lunch very appetizing."
"Okay." Helian Wei Wei had always known how to enjoy life. She could still feel the exhaustion for staying up late last night. Besides, there was really nothing for her to do in the palace.
In all the novels she read, it was all about the chaos, messy fights, striking for favors and how it was far from being peaceful in the palace.
She even thought about showing her charisma as a bossy president occasionally to impress someone.
To her surprise, the palace was as peaceful as the villa she used to live in.
Basically, she had nothing to do every day.
All she had to do was enjoying her life, be it playing with the martial arts or handguns, teasing Eunuch Sun or watching Little Seven do a b.u.t.t dance. There was nothing as relaxing and tranquil as this life could offer her.
Of course… there were always people who were dense enough to mess up her life.
Helian Wei Wei looked at the paper in her hands, her thin lips curled upward sinisterly and said, "These two people have the audacity to hijack into the hidden army, let them taste blood first..."
"Yes," the man in black replied with his gaze down.
Helian Wei Wei waved her hand, gesturing him to leave. Baili Jia Jue had finished washing his hands when she lifted her eyes again.
Anyway, thanks to his habit, she was able to vacate herself for her business in hand.
Otherwise, her daily routine would be rotating between eating and sleeping.
She was skeptical of the prince's motive. Does he purposely fatten her up to the size of a little fatty piglet, so that one day he could slaughter her and use her as a soup base?
Baili Jia Jue heard her remark and smirked devilishly. "Even if I cook you up, you are not as tasty as you're now. Stop overthinking, eat more."
Why did she somehow have a feeling of being attacked again?
Helian Wei Wei felt exceptionally comfortable in Baili Jia Jue's arms as she was getting used to it. He had been bringing her everywhere in his arms for the past two days, looking charmingly handsome and she was enjoying the service too.
However, in relation to the matter of feeding her, Baili Jia Jue had always treated her like a daughter.
You can't have this, don't eat too much of that, eat more fruits, and so on.
Most of the time, Helian Wei Wei would feel sleepy halfway while she was eating. She mumbled with a wide yawn, "I'm not full yet…"
Hugging Helian Wei Wei tightly, Baili Jia Jue murmured in a refreshing tone, "Go to sleep, I'll have them prepare red bean pies for you later."
Helian Wei Wei nodded her head and closed her eyes. "Pies are nice, I love them…"
Yes! I love to eat them too! Little Seventh Prince stood by their bedside and nodded enthusiastically.
Baili Jia Jue sat upright and took off his robe to cover on Helian Wei Wei who was fast asleep. He stared at Little Seven condescendingly and questioned, "What's the matter?"
"Third Brother, I want to eat red bean pies too," Little Seventh Prince pleaded with the vigor of the tiger for his welfare.
Baili Jia Jue buttoned up his shirt leisurely and said slowly, "If you're still not going to tell me what's your business, you won't ever have your share in the pies."
"Blackie, the one that I rescued a while ago, is gone." The Blackie, that Little Seventh Prince mentioned, was a powerful and domineering magical beast that could flatten White Academy with a stomp.
Baili Jia Jue picked him up and put him on the wooden chair. "It's healed, of course, it will head home."
"But I haven't fed him the dragon meat yet!" Little Seventh Prince lashed out, refusing to accept the fact. "I want to ride on it and go to the deep sea to hunt dragons!"
Baili Jia Jue glanced at him. "Think about dragon hunting only after both your teeth sprout up."
Even the servants found it funny when they saw it.
However, no one dared to mention it! Seriously! No one dared to mention it!
They were frightful that this little tiger would hop onto them and gnaw them if they upset him.
Despite being adorably cute when Little Seventh Prince was with the prince and princess consort, he was, in fact, a little guy with a poker face. He was harder to please than the prince himself!
Of course, they could absolutely bribe Seventh Prince with delicacies if he was upset and agitated.
However, being so straightforward about him losing teeth… they wondered how the Little Seventh Princ
e would react to that.
Eunuch Sun turned his sympathetic gaze at his little master and said in a comforting voice, "Seventh Prince, why don't we go to the imperial kitchen to see if they have prepared the fish that you caught this morning? Don't you crave for fish?
Little Seventh Prince looked up at the sky sadly. He pondered for a while and mumbled flatly, "Okay, let's do that." He doesn't stand a chance to defeat Third Brother anyway!
"Let's go then, Seventh Prince," Eunuch Sun stretched out his hand as he spoke.
Little Seventh Prince reached out and held his hand. He asked in a serious and arrogant tone, "Eunuch Sun, in your opinion, does it affect my charm now that I have lost my teeth? Does it?"
Eunuch Sun lowered his gaze, looking at him speaking indistinctly though having one tooth missing. He swallowed his laughter with great effort and cleared his throat before saying, "No, it doesn't."
"You have a good taste," Little Seventh Prince said as he heard the answer he wanted to hear. He restored his arrogant and pompous appearance, no one would dare to offend him wherever he went.
On the other hand, Helian Wei Wei was not sleeping well.
The ill.u.s.tration in her dream had become clearer. She could feel the wrath getting stronger and stronger each day.
That person wanted to come back.
However, it was unlikely that she would be willing to surrender the body even if that person returned.
Helian Wei Wei would not hesitate to return this body if it was before. But now, she shared her memories and yearning.
She was not sure whether she would meet someone like him ever again.
A man that looked indifferent and cold on the outside, but had deep-seated adoration for her...
Chapter 431 - Let's Start Dating
Pattering.
Big raindrops fell pattering upon the wide leaves, there were many eunuchs and palace maids walking around in the royal garden except for a secluded area that was blocked by a few shadow guards.
The Retired Emperor had his hands behind his back as he stood at the quiet pavilion. He cast a glance at his favorite grandson and said, "Ah Jue, tell Grandpa honestly, is Wei Wei really possessed?"
