Chapter 88. A princess’s woman never admits defeat (16)

Shi Jiu: “…” 

She doesn’t quite understand the Princess’s thoughts. She was a deep person who did not only look at a person’s appearance.

She focused on the inside.

"Hey, I think... he has thoughts about you." Chaoyang looked at her with a touch of melancholy.

"Pfft..." The wine in Shi Jiu's mouth sprayed out. "Cough cough cough... cough cough..." She covered her mouth and coughed wildly.

"Sister, what are you thinking? It's my first time in a place like this today. How could it be possible...cough cough cough..." Shi Jiu barely kept from choking on her wine.

"But, he used to only play High Mountains and Flowing Waters, and today I brought you here and he played Phoenix seeking Phoenix. He must be coveting you. Young lady, you have to be careful, men are not good things." Chaoyang suddenly said seriously while holding her hand.

Shi Jiu glanced at the person who was still playing music. Just now she said he was good-looking, but in the blink of an eye he was no longer such a good person.

Sure enough, women were fickle.

"Sister, you are worrying too much. I am still a little self-aware. Sister, you think too highly of me." Shi Jiu withdrew her hand, held the snack and continued eating.

The person I just met today, oh no, the person I haven’t even officially met yet, covets me? Are you kidding, I’m not such a heartthrob.

Although her current identity was that of the female lead, she was the female lead of a sadistic novel and did not have the so-called heroine halo or Mary Sue halo*.

[ED: Mary Sue is a term used to describe a fictional character, usually female, who is seen as too perfect and almost boring for lack of flaws, originally written as an idealized version of an author in fanfiction.]

Shi Jiu poured two more glasses of wine, one for herself and one for Chaoyang, in an attempt to block her mouth.

Chaoyang wanted to say more, but the song had ended.

A pair of jade hands lifted the curtain.

Shi Jiu and Chaoyang raised their heads together.

"Pfft!"

Shi Jiu spurted out the wine again when she saw the handsome young man's face clearly.

This face...this face...

Looking at it horizontally and vertically, it looked so much like that person.

"Doesn’t he look good." Chaoyang poked Shi Jiu, who was stunned, with her elbow. She knew she had good vision. Look, the young lady lost her mind because Mr. Yurong was so good-looking.

Shi Jiu was trembling, this face was almost carved out of his mold.

If her legs hadn't been so weak, she would have wanted to run away the moment she saw his face.

After Chaoyang glanced at Shi Jiu, she saw that her gaze was firmly fixed on Young Master Yurong's face. Now, she wanted to go back and share her thoughts with Shi Jiu, but she found that Shi Jiu was shaking, "Young lady, why are you shaking?" Chaoyang looked at Mr. Yurong's face, a little confused, he looked so good-looking, why was she shaking??

Young Master Yurong came closer and seemed very sad when he saw this. "Although I am not a beautiful man, I am not as ugly as a Yaksha. Why is the girl like this?"

He had been praised for his good looks since he was a child. Although he didn’t care about these things, after so many years, he had become accustomed to people being unable to walk away when they saw him.

Nowadays, it was difficult to fall in love with a girl, but this other girl disliked his appearance at first glance.

He didn't think he was that good-looking, but at least he wasn't that scary.

Shi Jiu's little heart, which was beating too fast due to adrenaline, calmed down a little, since it wasn't him.

This gesture, this tone, wasn’t him.

She was so surprised.

She almost thought that her family member had realized something was wrong and came over to arrest her personally.

"No, no, I'm sick. I tremble when I'm nervous. I was amazed by the young master's appearance just now, so I'm a little nervous." Shi Jiu lied without blinking.

She took a few deep breaths and drank from the wine on the table without even looking at it.

"That's it?" Young Master Yurong didn't believe it. He had stayed here for so long. What kind of place was this? The people who came here often lied. After seeing too much, he had also developed some skills. How could he not see that she was lying?

It seemed that she still disliked him for being ugly.

Yurong had been praised for his good looks since he was a child. When he met someone who actually thought he was ugly for the first time, he felt very depressed.

He usually thought that appearance was not that important. The other young men in this same place would buy all kinds of ointments for skin care before going out to receive guests and would make sure to dress up carefully, but he normally just washed his face and changed his clothes to a clean set.
