The Anarchic Consort (1)

388-390

A slight grin appeared on Helian Wei Wei's face as she touched the other cup on the table with her teacup. "We always spoke of having tea together but we never had the time for it. Today's my treat, Master Wushuang."

"You can call me Wushuang," Jing Wushuang's soft and delicate voice was soothing. He shifted his gaze toward Helian Wei Wei's wrist and coughed, "Is the multi-morphing umbrella easy to use?"

Helian Wei Wei agreed, "It's rather easy to use, I did some modifications to it."

"Really?" Jing Wushuang held out his hand, "Can you let me have a look?"

Helian Wei Wei did not refuse his request and with a flick of her finger, a black umbrella appeared in her hand.

Jing Wushuang took it from her and fidgeted with the handle. "No wonder you are the star owner of Wei Ze World, you even had the brains to think of this kind of modification."

"You may play around with it." Helian Wei Wei was not concerned, her martial Qi was different from the others. It would not affect her despite having any martial practice.

Jing Wushuang gave Helian Wei Wei a look and smiled, "You are the only one in the world who would consider martial practice and weapon assembly as playing around." Finishing his sentence, he coughed slightly and the scents of medicine were in the air as he moved his sleeves."That day outside the city, I thought you didn't want to marry royalty."

Helian Wei Wei knew which day he was talking about; it was the day she had used up all her means to escape from His Highness' captivity. Lazily, she supported her chin, "Indeed, that day I didn't want to."

"Why did you change your mind then?" Jing Wushuang's hand paused as he turned to look at Helian Wei Wei with a bigger grin now.

Helian Wei Wei would not tell a soul about her agreement with Baili Jia Jue, so she answered briefly, "I thought that the Third Prince was not a bad person, so I agreed to the marriage."

"I see." Jing Wushuang did not question further.

He had always been a person of moderation.

Moreover, he would not let people around him feel uncomfortable.

It must be because of the strong smell of books and medicine around him, making it seemed as though he could also slow down the time.

Even as he spoke nothing, he made people feel comfortable.

Helian Wei Wei yawned; she was feeling sleepy.

Jing Wushuang looked at her, "Tired?"

"A little bit." Helian Wei Wei ended up resting on the wooden table.

Jing Wushuang stared into her eyes. "You didn't get enough sleep lately, did you?"

"Yeah," Helian Wei counted. She had three nightmares just last night and on top of that, she had been intermittently rejecting the heat from the Yab-Yum, so it was unavoidable that she had not been sleeping well.

Jing Wushuang lowered his gaze, his long lashes were thick and absolutely stunning. "Is it because the Third Prince is going to choose his secondary consort?"

"No." Helian Wei Wei paused and smiled lightly. "It's not because of him. It's my own problem, probably because of the hot weather too."

Jing Wushuang tasted a little of the tea from the cup, and spoke with his soft, smooth voice, "If you ever feel unhappy, you can always come to me for a cup of tea. Don't be too hard on yourself, if you really dislike him marrying a secondary consort, you can speak out."

"Thanks, but..." Helian Wei Wei gave it a thought but still gave a rather guarded answer, "Whether or not he wanted to marry a secondary consort, it's the Third Prince's business. I will not get myself involved."
