An Qin Ran turned her head and met a pair of plum blossom phoenix eyes. At that moment she realized that Dong Fang Jin and Dong Fang Ye looks were similar.
Dong Fang Jin burning gaze was locked on her, it didn't reveal his usual cynicism. At that instant, he looked even more handsome and elegant than Dong Fang Ye with his straight eyebrows!
What was this?
The minute he looked at Qing Ran, her heart skipped a beat. Damn it! It wasn't her first time meeting the crown prince. Moreover, she wasn't really a twelve years old maiden. How could she be swayed so easily?
It must be because the appearance of these two wangs for the Dongfang family are so similar. And, before he called her, she was in the midst of her memories...
An Qing Ran frowned before she answered his question with another:
"What are you talking about?"
"This prince?"
Dong Fang Jin looked at the girl in front of him. She had stared at his face but he knew she wasn't really looking at him. Her attitude displeased the young man. As the Crown Prince, he never cared about the protocol and conventions due to the Imperial family. This time, however, he told the girl next to him:
"It would seem like the Di daughter of the general's Fu doesn't even know basic etiquette! Or is it that you don't know who Benwang is?"
Ah!
An Qing Ran looked at the youth bewildered. In her past life, she only met him a few times. The last time she had seen him he was a sickly teenager. Dongfang Jin had passed away before even turning 20 years old. How old was he again? Sixteen, seventeen?
Why did she forget such an important event? It was obvious... In Qing Ran's past life, Fang Jin death only meant that an obstacle was removed from Kang Wang path. Who would be worried about a hindrance?
The dazed An Qing Ran annoyed Dong Fang Jin. Her lost face also made him laugh and the irritated prince turned playful.
"What are you thinking about?"
Anqing Ran shook her head. The gesture reminded her injured ankle. She couldn't even let her feet touch the ground, as a cry escaped her lips.
"Let me!"
Not waiting for the girl to answer Dong Fang Jin knelt down and massaged her joint. This simple action was clearly inappropriate. However, Qing Ran 's mind was a jumble as soon as her eyes laid on Dongfang Ye.
"It's already swollen!"
Said Dong Fang Jin while wrapping his hand around her ankle. Their skin solely separated by her socks.
Once Qing Ran's reeled her anxiousness and, realized what was happening. She took a step back.
"Don't touch me!"
Dongfang Jin frowned and a touch of anger flashed in his eyes.
"Is it worth it?"
Pretending not to understand the meaning behind his words the girl ignored the question. Still, in her heart, she was shocked. The two princes were very different. Why did she think that the Crown prince was clever and perceptive?
Dong Fang Jin, it was as if he could see through other people hearts... She had to be careful from now on! She mustn't act recklessly.
She never imagined that after one meeting, the crown prince would easily unveil her deeds and notice the hatred in her heart!
On the other hand, while An Qing Ran was once again lost in her thoughts. Dongfang Jin did not bother to tell the girl that he could clearly read her face.
All of a sudden, a maid leaded the hostess of the gathering to the commotion. When An Qing Ran recognized the pure and beautiful woman walking towards them, she thought:
"Indeed, not all rumours were made of smoke."
Xiang Ning was unquestionably a peerless beauty. Graceful as a willow flower.
As the group of people approached, An Qing Ran quivered and fainted into Dongfang Jin's embrace. She didn't want to deal with the aftermath. And, she definitely didn't wish to get caught in an embarrassing situation in front of all these important people.
Thus, Qing Ran decided to let Dongfang Jin deal with it...
