The Proud Crown Prince (18)

To her, the crown prince was as superior and inviolable as the highest snow mountain… but he had let that girl climb onto his back?!
That girl straddled him?!
Pfft —
Lou Yun spat out another mouthful of blood.
The physical pain was nothing compared with how she felt inside.
Once the onlookers were dismissed, Feng looked down at Lou Yun with an impassive look on his face.
Feng had known Lou Yun since she was little, and he saw how hard she had struggled to rise to this position from when they had found her as a mere beggar on the street.
“Mr Feng… His Royal Highness and Feng Wu… They…”
Tears rolled down Lou Yun’s cheeks.
Feng shook his head. It seemed that Lou Yun was no longer fit for this position as the head of World Tower.
“Mr Feng, did you know all along?” Lou Yun asked between broken sobs as tears streaked her face.
She felt too defeated to stand up.
So what if she looked pathetic? What did she care now? Her world had just collapsed.
Feng sighed. “I warned you before.”
But you were jealous and blinded by your personal agenda. You thought you could fool others.
“Mr Feng, I…”
“You’re no longer fit for World Tower.” Feng gave his verdict. “Go back to the imperial guards.”
“Mr Feng…” Lou Yun was genuinely scared.
She had given all she had and put in so much painstaking effort to stand out among all the talented people in the imperial guards. She had come a long way from when she had been a mere slave. However, she was going to lose everything because of one tiny selfish act.
“I won’t accept it!” Lou Yun wasn’t convinced.
Crossing his hands behind his back, Feng looked up at the clear blue sky.
“You might be able to hide your selfish motives from others, but Miss Feng Wu isn’t someone you can offend without consequences.” Feng shook his head.
Even Princess Jun Wuxia had to wait here for a parent to pick her up, not to mention a mere employee like Lou Yun. What was there to argue about?
No matter how reluctant Lou Yun was, the crown prince didn’t believe in second chances.
Hence, Lou Yun was sent back to the imperial guards and Lou Yue was made the new head of World Tower.
The only reminder Feng gave Lou Yue was: offend His Royal Highness, you might be spared, but you’ll want to double check how you got this job if you want to mess with Miss Feng Wu.
Lou Yue wanted to ask for a further explanation, but Feng only shook his head. “Don’t ask why. We can easily find a replacement for you if you can’t figure it out.”
Lou Yue nodded obediently in a hurry.
Meanwhile, up on Beyond World, Feng Wu and Jun Linyuan were in an awkward situation.
Jun Linyuan wanted to leave, but Feng Wu had grabbed his belt from behind.
She would follow him wherever he went.
Jun Linyuan was speechless.
He couldn’t help but look over his shoulder and glare at Feng Wu. “Are you a dog? Let go of my belt!”
Feng Wu was so afraid that Jun Linyuan would go after Feng Xun again, although she still couldn’t figure out why he was doing it in the first place… Her reasoning was that Jun Linyuan was a sadist.
Gingerly looking up at Jun Linyuan, Feng Wu only wrapped her fingers tighter around his belt.
Jun Linyuan didn’t say anything.
From this angle, Feng Wu looked as adorable and cuddly as a puppy. However, he flared up again when he recalled all the things she had done!
“Are you that worried about Feng Xun?” Jun Linyuan asked grumpily.
“No, of course not.” Feng Wu’s glistening eyes reminded him of a doe. “I just don’t want to see Your Royal Highness hurt your hands.”

Although she had no idea why Jun Linyuan wanted to beat Feng Xun up, it was always a good idea to butter him up.
Because Feng Wu had realized something very important!
Before she was powerful enough, she wouldn’t be able to protect all the people she wanted to protect — she couldn’t even protect herself. Hence, until she could do that, she needed to find the biggest kid on the playground.
She had thought that Feng Xun was good enough to solve all her problems, but as it turned out today, when Jun Linyuan the Fiend was around, Feng Xun was a mere punching bag.
So… maybe she should switch to Jun Linyuan instead?
Although, he looked too unfriendly to be an ideal protector.
But everyone was afraid of him and he seemed to be her only option.
The more Feng Wu thought about it, the more upset she became. Shoulders drooping, she heaved a sigh.
Jun Linyuan was a little nonplussed by Feng Wu’s words, and somehow, his anger dissipated. Instead, he stared at Feng Wu and said awkwardly, “I see you’ve learned. You’re sweet talking me now.”
Seriously? Jun Linyuan wasn’t mad anymore?
An idea came to Feng Wu all of a sudden, but it disappeared as fast as it appeared.
Jun Linyuan patted Feng Wu on her head, then rubbed her hair. He liked the feel of it.
Feng Wu looked past what Jun Linyuan was doing with his hand and her eyes sparkled. “You’ll cut Feng Xun loose, won’t you? Oh, can you maybe let Jin Yuntao go as well? Please? He only got into a fight with Ye Yafei because he was helping me. His family will freak out and they’ll think he offended you if you ask his parents to pick him up…”
Jun Linyuan stared at Feng Wu. “Why do you care about other men so much?”
As if Yu Mingye and Feng Xun weren’t enough, there was this Jin Yuntao now?
“Are you going to hit on everyone?” Jun Linyuan glowered at Feng Wu!
Oh no… here we go again.
Feng Wu stumbled back.
Jun Linyuan pressed her, “Speak. Do you like them that much?”
“I don’t! I don’t like any of them that way!” Feng Wu said proudly.
“Who do you like, then?” Jun Linyuan stared at Feng Wu.
“No one.” The only one that Feng Wu cared about now was her white-clad, elegant master.
Jun Linyuan snorted.
He didn’t like that answer, but he didn’t hate it either.
“Can you let them go, please? Just Jin Yuntao and his friends…” Tugging at Jun Linyuan’s sleeve, Feng Wu looked at him with pleading eyes.
The crown prince was defeated by her doe eyes.
He raised his chin. “Are you begging me now?”
Feng Wu nodded in a hurry. “Yes, of course.”
“How spineless.” Jun Linyuan jabbed Feng Wu’s forehead with a finger. “Fine, I’ll let all of them go.”
“No, you can’t!” Feng Wu said in a hurry. “Just Jin Yuntao, his friends, and Feng Xun. Not Mu Yaoyao and the others! They’ll have to be picked up by their parents!”
Jun Linyuan stared at Feng Wu with an open mouth.
Feng Wu nodded at him earnestly. “I mean it!”
The girl was so good at bearing grudges. Jun Linyuan said grumpily, “Why should I listen to you? Who are you to me? I’m not following your orders. I’ll do whatever I want.”
“Jun~ Lin~ Yuan~” Feng Wu said in a saccharine voice as she swayed his arm back and forth. “Boss Jun~ Your Royal Highness~ my dear crown prince~ Jun —”
“Stop talking like that!” Jun Linyuan cast a stern look at her.
Feng Wu pouted and looked at him in grievance.
