[That tear mole beneath Seventh Prince Chu Aotian's eye looks like a bit of eye gunk!]
Seventh Prince Chu Aotian: "..." His composure nearly cracked.
Hua Liuli heard that and couldn't help bursting into a giggle. This girl is hilarious! Saying the tear mole beneath Seventh Prince Chu Aotian's eye looks like eye gunk-hahahaha, that's too funny!
Seventh Prince Chu Aotian looked at Hua Liuli, a hint of scrutiny entering his eyes. Could Hua Liuli hear this voice too?
Hua Liuli was laughing merrily when she suddenly met Seventh Prince Chu Aotian's probing gaze. Her smile instantly vanished, and her expression turned blank again.
She couldn't let this girl think she had fallen for Seventh Prince Chu Aotian at first sight and was acting like a coy little woman in front of him.
[Now that's how Hua Liuli should be! She had the script for a badass heroine in a wish-fulfillment novel, yet she lost herself over Seventh Prince Chu Aotian. Just thinking about it makes my brain hurt.]
Seventh Prince Chu Aotian frowned slightly, then turned his gaze back to Ning Sang-sang.
[Why does Seventh Prince Chu Aotian keep staring at me? I don't have a mole that looks like eye gunk beneath my eye.]
Hearing that, Hua Liuli lowered her head, her shoulders trembling slightly as delight blossomed in her heart. This girl is just too entertaining!
Seventh Prince Chu Aotian: "..." Had this girl declared war on his mole? The mole beneath his eye was so beautiful. How did it look anything like eye gunk?!
He took a deep breath, forcibly suppressing his anger, and looked at Ning Sang-sang without expression. "Which family are you from?"
"I'm from the Duke of Ning's Residence," Ning Sang-sang replied.
At the sound of her clear, bright voice, Seventh Prince Chu Aotian's eyes flickered. The voice he had heard earlier really was this girl's-and it was her inner voice. His gaze grew more unfathomable.
[Seventh Prince Chu Aotian keeps staring at me. What exactly does he want? Has he taken a fancy to me?]
[Pfft, impossible. Right now, Seventh Prince Chu Aotian is hopelessly in love with Su Miaoling. There's no room in his heart for any woman but her.]
Seventh Prince Chu Aotian: "..."
Hearing Ning Sang-sang's thoughts, Hua Liuli made up her mind to break off her engagement with Seventh Prince Chu Aotian. She had no interest in a man whose heart belonged to another woman.
Seventh Prince Chu Aotian looked at Ning Sang-sang with a dark expression. Just as he was about to speak, her inner voice sounded again.
[Seventh Prince Chu Aotian's face is like the weather in June-it changes without warning. I haven't said a thing, yet he's giving me that icy look. What a moody man.]
"You..." Seventh Prince Chu Aotian stared sternly at Ning Sang-sang. He had intended to tell her to shut up, but after uttering that single word, he couldn't continue. His brows immediately knitted tightly.
Ning Sang-sang looked at him in utter confusion. "What about me?"
[Why does everyone I meet today keep stopping halfway through their sentences? I really hate it when people do that.]
Seventh Prince Chu Aotian moved his lips, but he felt a mysterious force preventing him from speaking. After several unsuccessful attempts, he could only swallow the words on the tip of his tongue. Seeing Ning Sang-sang looking at him in confusion, he changed his question. "What's your name?"
"..."
Ning Sang-sang muttered inwardly, [You're only asking my name. Did you really have to stop halfway and ask it in two parts? I thought it was something important, but all you wanted was my name.]
"My name is Ning Sang-sang," she replied.
Just then, a pleasant male voice rang out. "Aotian."
Ning Sang-sang looked toward the voice and saw a man in purple robes striding toward them. His beautiful face was so androgynous that it was hard to tell whether he was male or female. With fair skin and exquisite features, he resembled a male fox spirit who had stepped out of a painting. His alluring phoenix eyes smiled at them, and an enchanting air surrounded him.
As Ning Sang-sang was looking him up and down, she unexpectedly met Gu Yunshen's tender phoenix eyes. A single word sprang unbidden into her mind: Enchantress.
"Aotian, what happened to loyalty? How could you ditch me and come here to chat with pretty girls all by yourself?" Gu Yunshen teased Seventh Prince Chu Aotian with a smile. Just then, a clear female voice suddenly sounded in his ears.
[Let me see where this purple-skinned scallion came from.]
[Oh, so this purple-skinned scallion is Gu Yunshen, the third son of the Duke of Gu's Residence, Seventh Prince Chu Aotian's good buddy.]
Gu Yunshen: "..."
The smile that had just lifted the corners of his mouth instantly froze.
[Let me see what juicy gossip I can dig up about this third Gu son.]
[Hey, this third Gu son has quite a few juicy melons to munch on.]
Gu Yunshen: "..."
Where had that voice come from?
He knew Hua Liuli's voice, and the voice just now clearly wasn't hers. He turned his gaze to Ning Sang-sang.
Ning Sang-sang blinked.
[Gu Yunshen, why are you looking at me? I don't have a mole that looks like eye gunk beneath my eye. Seventh Prince Chu Aotian does. You should look at him.]
Seventh Prince Chu Aotian: "...Enough."
[Whenever I hear Seventh Prince Chu Aotian say "enough," I can't help remembering his classic line: "Woman, enough. Stop playing with fire."]
The corners of Seventh Prince Chu Aotian's mouth twitched incessantly.
This woman really did love spouting nonsense in her head!
