Wei Luo didn’t recognize his face at first. But, underneath the corner of his eye, there was a small swallow-shaped birthmark. Even after many years, the birthmark hadn’t changed at all. Underneath the brightly colored lights, the sight of that birthmark crashed into her eyes and had her suddenly remembering his name.
Wei Luo’s lips curved slightly and she said with a bit of indifference in her voice, “Li Song?”
The handsome teenager’s face was gaping. Because he had been studying martial arts for many years, his facial features had become profound and determined. His skin was a healthy dark wheat color.
When that pair of bright as stars eyes looked at someone, there were also other new emotions in addition to the original rebelliousness. The line of people walking on stilts had walked away and the crowd of people gradually dispersed. But, he moved closer and closer to her. He stared at her eyes, “It’s me.”
These words were squeezed out through his teeth. He was the only one that knew the level of disgust and displeasure he felt towards her.
At that time, he had almost drowned in the Imperial Palace’s lake and had also been tied to the target and shot at by Zhao Jie because of her. These two things had left a big psychological shadow on him. Even now, he still couldn’t forget how he had struggled in the water and she had been on the shore with a sweetly provoking smile that couldn’t hide the mocking in her eyes. The others had been deceived by her cute outer appearance. He was the only one that knew her cunning shadowy side! That despicable girl had grown up into a refined, budding beauty.
Why was she so good-looking? Wasn’t the face a reflection of the heart? She should have an ugly appearance! This beautiful face didn’t match her inside at all.
Li Song pursed his lip. As he lifted his other hand to check if she was wearing a fake face, before his hand could touch her chin, he glimpsed a fist heading towards him from his peripheral vision!
He quickly ducked and looked at the side. With this movement, he stopped blocking Wei Luo.
Wei Chang Hong shielded Wei Luo, furrowed his eyebrows, and asked, “Ah Luo, did he bully you?”
He and Wei Luo looked similar. Li Song had mistaken them for each other when they were children. Now that they had grown up, one was so beautiful that her beauty was heart stopping and the other had a peerless elegance that couldn’t be compared.
Li Song couldn’t help but sigh with regret for a moment. The children born from the Wei family were truly attractive. There wasn’t anyone in the country, much less than the capital that had his and her level of appearance.
Wei Luo shook her head.
The two of them let out a sigh in relief and then they heard her say, “He acted improperly towards me.”
Li Song’s breath stopped in his throat and he almost choked himself to death. He acted improperly towards her? When did this happen?
Wei Chang Hong’s eyes were like knives when he looked at him. His posture seemed as if he was trying to make up for an extreme error and would immediately step forward to beat Li Song if he dared to admit it.
The capital’s influential officials’ sons would sometimes assemble together to either drink wine with courtesans in attendance or listen to ballads. So, most of them knew each other. However, Chang Hong almost never went those places. Thus, Li Song wasn’t very familiar with Chang Hong and only knew about his identity. Li Song didn’t know whether or not Chang Hong had been dedicating himself to improving his martial arts skills these past several years. So, he wouldn’t rashly start fighting at the current moment.
