The Anarchic Consort [ Chapter 1 - 199 ]

Chapter 54: Black-Hearted Highness

Helian Mei guffawed as she asked the young girls from prestigious families standing behind her.

They held their handkerchiefs. Their thin lips slightly curved. Looking at Wei Wei was like looking at a puddle of mud that wouldn’t be able stand up no matter how she tried.

Helian Mei smugly raised her chin triumphantly, “Aah, I should stop, I should stop talking. This environment is no good. Let’s go find a chef to give us preferential treatment. Let’s go, sisters.”

They again skillfully strung together a series of ear piercing laughs.

Only, that foot of Helian Mei’s had yet to step away when immediately after, it seemed as if her whole body didn’t follow her command anymore. ‘Putt!’ all of a sudden, she was kneeling on the ground. In front of her, leftovers also somehow spilled and splashed her face and hair full of oil.

“Miss!” The maid following her quickly went to support her body, but couldn’t redeem anything.

“My face, my hair! Helian Wei Wei, just you wait!” Helian Jiao Er couldn’t control herself and screamed, as she rushed out of the cafeteria like a lunatic.

Wei Wei seemed lost in thought as she looked at the wood chopsticks that hadn’t left her hand, yet. She slowly faced Baili Jia Jue with eyes that carried a bit of a protest, then she immediately declared her position, “It wasn’t me.”

“Really.” Baili Jia Jue retrieved his hand. The drop of water on his fingertip hadn’t dried. He calmly used a towel to wipe his hand.

Wei Wei viewed herself as a well-behaved girl who didn’t tell lies, “I was planning to take action, but I hadn’t acted in time, yet she already fell.”

“Mm hm.” Baili Jia Jue nonchalantly sipped a mouthful of herb tea, “The ground was too slippery.”

Wei Wei nodded, “It must’ve been. Hey! Speaking of which, not personally taking action really also makes me feel a little off. Man, how could she just fall like that.”

On this side, Wei Wei still seemed to be at a loss. At the other side, hiding in a covert place, the corners of Shadow’s mouth twitched fiercely. He didn’t know why, but he seemed to feel that a plastered smiling expression was emerging from the corners of his master’s mouth, making a person feel chilly, very chilly. He really didn’t believe in any “the ground was too slippery” and such nonsense! His Highness must’ve acted!

“However, thinking it over carefully, Helian Jiao Er will be getting married to the Third Prince soon. That still makes a person very happy.” Wei Wei seemed as if she thought of something and suddenly laughed out loud.

Baili Jia Jue’s hand holding the teacup slightly tensed. His voice became devoid of any temperature, “Makes a person happy?”

“Hm?” Wei Wei glanced at him meaningfully, “Don’t tell me, you don’t know the reason behind this.”

Shadow’s body hiding at a distance fiercely stiffened…..why did he have a very bad premonition…..this oldest daughter of the Helian family wouldn’t declare some shocking opinion and criticize His Highness to his face, right?

Shouldn’t he immediately intervene?

So as to avoid His Highness’ feelings being hurt after he heard it?

As if he became aware of his intent, Baili Jia Jue turned towards Shadow’s seat and glanced at him. Within that pair of disciplined cold eyes, a strong warning was conveyed.

Shadow’s body immediately retreated. His back was covered with cold sweat.

The young man turned his head around. The side of his face was suffused with graceful radiance and with a level tone, he casually spoke, “I really don’t know.” He actually wanted to hear it. What reason would she have to be happy about another person marrying him!
