104 What’s Going On Between You and His Highness?
Uncle Jiang looked at Huo Zhao, who had stopped in his tracks. Seeing that his handsome face was covered by dark clouds, he raised his voice and said, “Your Highness, I’ll go in and report first before you go in?”
“That won’t be necessary,” Huo Zhao said darkly. He quickened his pace and walked straight into the front hall.
Shen Yaowei did not expect to meet Huo Zhao on her trip back today. She cursed in her heart.
Putting down the teacup in his hand, Shen Yeyin stood up and bowed to Huo Zhao. “Greetings, Your Highness.”
“At ease,” Huo Zhao said calmly to Shen Yeyin. His gaze landed on Shen Yaowei, who was still eating snacks on the chair. “I heard that General Shen was injured, so I specially came to take a look.”
Shen Yeyin took a deep look at Huo Zhao. “My father just fell asleep.”
“Oh? Then I came at the wrong time,” Huo Zhao said as he walked straight to Shen Yaowei. “Yaoyao, I haven’t seen you in two days. I miss you very much. While General Shen is still resting, will you accompany me to the garden?”
Shen Yaowei quickly finished the pastry in her hand. Then, she picked up a handkerchief and wiped her hands before jumping down from the chair. “Okay, let’s go.”
With that, she led the way out the door.
Huo Zhao watched as Shen Yaowei skipped away. A mocking glint flashed across his eyes as he followed her.
On the other side.
After Nuan Ying realized that Shen Yaowei had run back to the Shen residence without permission, she immediately sent this news to Huo Junhan.
The gorgeous carriage drove at a moderate speed on the lively street. The man, who was sitting in the carriage with his eyes closed, heard the sound of birds flapping their wings outside the window. He lazily opened his eyes and reached out to lift the curtains.
The black bird flew in from outside the window and threw the small note in its claw in front of Huo Junhan. Then, it flapped its wings and flew away.
Huo Junhan picked up the note and took a look. Then, his handsome face darkened. “To the Shen residence.”
…
The back garden was filled with birds and flowers.
Shen Yaowei sat on the swing and swung her legs.
Huo Zhao stood opposite Shen Yaowei and looked at her deeply.
For a moment, neither of them spoke. The atmosphere was strange.
For some reason, Huo Zhao looked at the innocent Shen Yaowei and felt that he could not control her.
He had clearly hated this fool’s pestering, but the feeling in his heart now made him even more frustrated.
“What’s going on between you and His Highness Li?” In the end, it was Huo Zhao who broke the silence first.
Shen Yaowei felt that Huo Zhao’s gaze on her was like a knife. Her heart was calm, but she pretended to be timid. “My Ninth Imperial Uncle saved me.”
“Because he saved you, you want to stay in his outer residence?” Huo Zhao almost squeezed these words out of his teeth. “Previously, at the palace banquet, you and His Highness Li were intimate and ambiguous. I took into account that he saved you, so I didn’t fuss about it. However, Shen Yaowei, do you understand that you’ve already been engaged to me? Everyone in the capital knows that you, Shen Yaowei, are my future princess consort. But now, you’re staying in the outer residence of His Highness Li. What does that make me look like?!”
At the end of his sentence, he almost growled.
The man who had just walked into the garden clearly heard Huo Zhao’s voice and stopped.
His pale eyes flicked to the nearby swing.
Shen Yaowei almost thought that Huo Zhao was going to spit on her. She shrank back slightly and looked at Huo Zhao with her big, dark eyes. “From the looks of it, what Yaoyao did was indeed inappropriate…”
As soon as the girl finished speaking, Nuan Ying, who was following behind Huo Junhan, could clearly feel the aura around him instantly darken.
