Married To The Male Lead's Father (Translation)

CHAPTER 98

In the afternoon, Xie Jingyi rode back to the residence. At the entrance, he saw a carriage with Prince Rong residence's insignia parked there. A beautiful and gentle woman in a light yellow dress descended from the carriage.

Xie Jingyi's eyebrows twitched. It was Princess Changhua of Prince Rong residence. He had heard about the marriage proposal from Prince Rong at the Jade Grove Banquet.

Princess Changhua was known for her superficiality and lascivious nature and had lost her virginity before marriage. When she appeared at the entrance of Duke Ding's residence, Xie Jingyi's eyes flashed with a hint of coldness. He reined in his horse and did not approach.

While he had someone announce his presence, Princess Changhua, along with her maid and several guards, waited at the entrance.

When Xie Jingyi appeared on horseback, Princess Changhua's eyes brightened upon hearing his voice. She had completely forgotten this handsome, exceptional man who was as radiant as the moon. Her heart raced.

This young Master Xie was no less than the newly appointed top scholar. Despite only being an heir, he was already the Commander of the Imperial Guards and a confidant of the emperor.

Aside from having been married once before, there was nothing else to fault.

She had once fallen for him at first sight. Unfortunately, Xie Jingyi had a fiancée, and his backing was Duke Ding. Her feelings had to be suppressed, especially after he broke off the engagement and quickly became betrothed to Yang Shuqing. 

Princess Changhua could only give up.

Now, seeing the exceptionally handsome Xie Jingyi again, Princess Changhua had completely forgotten about the new top scholar she was interested in and the plans she had been making against Miss Shen for the past month. Her mind and eyes were solely on Xie Jingyi.

At this moment, she was no longer in a hurry to meet the Duchess of Ding.

The chance encounter with Xie Jingyi had her excited and thrilled.

However, Xie Jingyi actually stopped his horse and did not advance. Princess Changhua could not help but approach with her maid.

"Jinlan, let's go and greet Young Master Xie."

"Yes, Your Highness!"

Jinlan, the maid, slightly altered her expression upon hearing her mistress's words. She immediately understood that the princess was interested in Young Master Xie. Young Master Xie was backed by Duke Ding, who was his adoptive father. His status was noble, and his future was bright.

Jinlan knew well what kind of person the princess was. The princess... was not worthy of Young Master Xie.

"Young Master Xie, what a coincidence. I am Princess Changhua of Prince Rong residence. It's a pleasure to meet you." Princess Changhua smiled warmly, her voice clear and melodious. A hint of shyness and admiration perfectly appeared on her beautiful face.

Seeing Princess Changhua and her maid approach, a trace of disgust flashed across Xie Jingyi's handsome face. He gave an indifferent nod and said, "Greetings, Princess Changhua."

And then... there was nothing more.

Seeing Xie Jingyi's indifferent attitude, Princess Changhua's heart sank a little. She gritted her teeth. Xie Jingyi was not currently engaged...

Princess Changhua's eyes revealed a determined glint.

"If Princess Changhua has no other business, I will take my leave." Seeing the determined look in her eyes, Xie Jingyi felt a pang of discomfort. He coldly added, then rode past Princess Changhua and entered Duke Ding's residence directly.
