NOVEL NEXT Chapter 81: Interesting
"Go on," waving his hand as a gesture for Xi Ma to elaborate.
Continuing, "She's like a pig that can be a tiger depending on the situation, especially when provoked, which is... interesting," Xi Ma honestly thinks this way.
The Gao miss cannot be underestimated; hence the enemy will be caught off guard. She is so used to acting worthless, hiding even her presence and capabilities, that losing against her would just be unacceptable.
"Interesting?" Raising a brow, "Are you interested in her?" Narrowing his eyes at Xi Ma, but his tone was indifferent. Too nonchalant, it's scary.
"Ah master, she is interested but not in a romantic way, if that's what you mean." Nervously clarified.
It's very suspicious that they were talking about a woman and that the prince was the one who initiated it! The tone of his last question was like a man who drank vinegar.
'Ah, jealousy does not fit well with you Your Highness. So weird.' Xi Ma could only think like this based on the signs.
Wanting to test his theory, "Regarding her, what do you think, master?" He asked, looking closely at the prince's reaction. "There is a rumor by the way that the second prince is asking about the Gao Miss's condition." Adding this bit of lie.
Glaring no one in particular, "What for?" Greeting his teeth. For some reason, the idea of the second prince changing his mind about Gao Lan Mei left a bitter taste in his mouth, not even knowing why!
Xi Ma saw Prince Wei's reaction to the news. From how the room turned colder and the rising spiritual pressure from the palace master, there was no need to ask. Jealousy makes anyone irrational.
Answering, "There are no specific details about that yet. Regardless, it seems that the Gao Miss is now smarter than before compared to the time she was still chasing the second prince." Xi Ma had a sick sense of enjoyment seeing Wei Jiayi trying to act normal.
"Watch his every move!" if that man-whore of a prince got close to that woman and she suddenly decided to go back to chasing that imbecile, just see what he would do to her!
'She is a business partner, of course, she is my responsibly!' Wei Jiayi convinced himself and justified his current actions. He did not even consider the possibility of his thoughts to not makes sense.
However, Wei Jiayi could not hide the strange connection that he felt towards Gao Lan Mei. Still, it was confusing and he wanted to make sure that he was not being hexed.
With a smirk, he mentioned, "The woman hates me, we just tolerate each other's presence," pausing for a moment, the smile wiped out and a frown abruptly appeared on the prince handsome face, "she normally retaliates when I annoy her..."
Wei Jiayi couldn't tell what Gao Lan Mei was thinking, she is too hard to understand, "Then she just stopped talking."
Hearing this, everyone who heard Wei Jiayi was astonished. Confirming their hunch, "Master do you find the Gao Miss interesting?" Xi Ma asked smiled brightly.
With wrinkled brows, "Interesting? She is interesting to mess with, that's it. Do not think more about it." Then he stood up and left the room, not sure why he was uncomfortable with his servant's strange stare.
Wei Jiayi decided to just deal with Gao Lan Mei personally. He had been in many battles and defeated countless enemies before he arrived in the Shizi Empire. What could a puny woman do to him?
With a shake of his head, Xi Ma could only watch the proud back of the prince, silently muttering 'Your Highness, most men tend to subconsciously act mean towards the girl that they like.'
After thinking of this, he was not sure if he should congratulate Gao Lan Mei for getting the aloof prince's attention that even the most beautiful in the mortal domain could only dream of.
Pity perhaps? Because the prince himself did not even realize this. Xi Ma just hoped that he would acknowledge this soon before it's too late.
