1633 I Have Never Thought Of Myself As A Gentleman

Yuan You was stunned. When she collected herself, she said skeptically, Cousin Hexin, arent you thinking too highly of him? Thats not good. Why are you looking up to him while degrading ourselves? Great Shang may be powerful, but the Yan Kingdom isnt that bad either. If he dares hurt His Majesty even a little, tens of thousands of our palace cavalry will ensure he wont be able to return home.

You have too little understanding of him. Tens of thousands of our palace cavalry mean nothing to him. Hexin shook her head as she voiced her disagreement. She said, When he was a boy of only twelve, he headed into a wolfs den alone and even managed to manipulate tens of thousands of vicious bandits easily. Why would someone like that even care about facing a mere couple thousand palace cavalry? He wasnt called the tyrannic Crown Prince for no reason.

Yuan You looked at her strangely when she heard this. Why do you seem to know so much about him?

Hexin was taken aback. I heard my father talking about it.

What else have you heard about me, Lil Sis Hexin? The mans voice, cold as snow, suddenly rang out. It felt like a bomb had gone off on the ground, shocking Hexin and Yuan You. They stopped talking immediately and lifted their heads in a daze; the subject of their conversation had stopped in his steps without them realizing it. He was standing at the doors of the hall and was watching them expressionlessly.

Yuan You turned red in the face from being caught gossiping about someone behind his back. She quickly hid behind Hexin.

Hexins fingers clenched inside her sleeves. She wanted to act calmly but her heart skipped a beat when her eyes met the young mans swirling, mysterious eyes. She had never felt so fl.u.s.tered before.

Hmm? The young mans slightly deep voice was heard once more.

Nothing. Theres nothing else. Hexin shook her head to deny it.

Long Yin noticed the fear she felt for him and said, slightly puzzled, I remember you used to like following me when we were young.

Hexin was taken aback and stared at him, wide-eyed. She had never expected that he would actually remember her.

When he saw how astonished she was, a small smile appeared on Long Yins lips. His sharp brow raised slightly and his tone was softer when he said, That said, you have overestimated me.

With that, he turned and entered the hall.

Hexin was quietly relieved when she saw the young man turn to leave.

He did not do anything to her, but he had a natural sense of intimidating aura about him that chilled others to the core.

However, he actually remembered her.

She pressed her hand onto her chest, trying to calm her wildly beating heart.

Yikes!

It was at this moment when Yuan You, who was behind her, suddenly shouted in shock.

Hexin snapped out of it and immediately turned back.

She saw Qi Heng tug on Yuan Yous pigtail. I heard everything you gossiped behind our Crown Princes back.

Yuan You realized what had just happened and slapped the back of his hand. When he released her, she quickly hid behind Hexin again. She poked her head out from behind Hexin and grumbled, red-faced, Listening in to anothers conversation isnt the right behavior of a gentleman.

I have never thought of myself as a gentleman. You, on the other hand, were not acting like a lady when you gossiped behind someone elses back, Qi Heng retorted with a raised eyebrow.

Yuan You turned blank and could not say a word in response.

Hexin tried to smooth out the situation. Alright, thats enough. Lets head inside.

Okay, Yuan You replied and followed her obediently.

Qi Heng watched as the little lady left and he burst out laughing. He had never seen any girl who looked and acted so adorably.

Long Huaiyuan came over and teased him. If you continue staring at her that way, your eyeb.a.l.l.s are going to fall out.

Qi Heng was taken aback and he smacked Long Huaiyuan on the shoulder. What nonsense are you spouting, you little rascal?
