Chapter 605 - 605 | Meeting Again In The Garden

Xin Xue Qing frowned.

Today, her mood wasn't right. She was rarely happy, but today, she felt angered and annoyed at almost everything.

Why? 

Well, she did have an answer to this.

It was all because of yesterday evening.

The person she was supposed to meet never came. She felt like she had been stood up by him.

'How embarrassing!'

And all this happened in front of her brother, the Crown Prince!

'And now he's gonna taunt me for this for next few months.'

Since morning, he had already taunted her at least twice. Just thinking about it made her angry.

But she didn't dare to be angry at the Crown Prince. She would rather be angry at someone else than be angry at her brother. 

She knew how scary her brother really was.

'A monster in human skin…'

This was also the reason why she was never much ambitious. She rather focused on being a good sister and helping him with his plans.

But putting all this aside, right now, she was angry. Many maids and eunuchs had already suffered because of this in the last few hours.

'I will go and teach that guy a lesson!'

She swore to herself.

'How dare he not come?'

She was frustrated.

And so, when the evening had just set, she left for the Purple Spring Garden.

This time though, she made sure the Crown Prince was not planning to ruin her day, and luckily, the latter was busy meeting with the Fu Clan about the items for the Annual Auction.

'They are planning to snatch the limelight from Fang Clan on Fang Chen's wedding by announcing the main item on that day?'

She mused while sitting in the carriage.

She was aware of the wedding between Fang Chen and Gao Suyin in the coming three weeks.

'This Fu Clan is just too cheap.'

Not that she had any feelings for the Fang Clan, but trying to snatch limelight from someone on their wedding day was a pretty low blow.

'But who cares? It's not like the Fang Clan ever even cared about me.'

Prime Minister Fang was her uncle in relation, and Fang Chen was her cousin.

But she rarely had any contacts with any of the two, much less someone else from the Fang Clan.

She closed her eyes and brought her focus to the current issue.

'Even though that guy is handsome, I must ask for an explanation!'



About twenty minutes later, Xin Xue Qing stepped inside the garden.

'Did I come early?'

She frowned.

Because of all the frustration and annoyance she had suffered throughout the day, she just couldn't wait to come here and release her anger on that guy.

'Ugh… I hate this! Now it will look like I am desperate for attention!'

However, now that she was already here, there was no need to overthink such stuff.

Heading inside, she directly went to her usual seat and sat there quietly.

Staring at the flow of water, she waited.

After an unknown amount of time, she suddenly noticed that someone was approaching her from the corner of her eyes.

But as annoyed as she was, she didn't turn her head to look who it really was.

She continued to stare at the flowing stream, showing her indifference.

The young man approached her and sat beside her.

The princess frowned, but just then, a spicy smell wafted through her nostrils.

Her curiosity made her nose scrunch, but she still didn't turn around her head.

'Hmph! I will not talk!'

"Here." The young man nudged her arm and passed the snack, which had been distracting her for the last few moments.

She lightly lowered her eyes and noticed yellowish sticks and a reddish paste on a plate.

'What is this?'

She frowned but still chose not to speak anything.

"I won't ask again." The young man's voice entered her ears. This time, it was a bit strict.

This annoyed her even more.

'Hmph! Who cares?'

The young man shrugged and pulled back the plate.

"Your loss."

His actions stupefied her.

'Did he… Did he really take back the plate!?'

This time she couldn't help but turn her head and stare at the young man with a pouted face.

The young man, however, didn't even glance at her and continued to eat the yellowish sticks after dipping them in the red paste.

Princess's breathing quickened as it reached on the verge of an explosion.

"What is it?" The young man broke the silence, "I thought you were busy ignoring me."

Princess Xin frowned, "Where were you yesterday?"

The young man, who was indeed Ye Tian Yun, shrugged, "I was busy."

"Oh?" Princess Xin's frown deepened.

She didn't have anything to say.

Even though she was very angry at the young man in front of her, but upon thinking reasonably, all her anger was useless and baseless.

It's not like they were related to each other.

This was basically their third or fourth time meeting.

"What were you busy with?" In the end, she asked whatever came to her mind.

Ye Tian Yun's hand paused, and after a moment, he resumed eating the French Fries.

"I went to the Fu Clan Auction House."

"Oh?" She asked, "Were you planning to buy something? Or… auction something?"

Ye Tian Yun shook his head, "Neither. I was there to meet someone."

"Meet someone?" Princess Xin frowned, "Who?"

Ye Tian Yun smiled and turned his head towards her.

Gazing at her, he said with a light smile, "I will tell you if you eat these Fench Fries with me."

"These what?"

"French Fries."

"What are they?"

"Taste them. They are good." Ye Tian Yun pushed the plate towards her, "They are new 'fast-food' by [Burger Queen]."

"Oh?" Princess Xin's expression eased a bit, and moving her hand, she took a fry and then dipping it in the sauce, she took a bite.

After a few moments, she said, "It's good."

Ye Tian Yun smiled, "I know, right?"

Princess Xin took another bite while asking, "So? Tell me?"

Ye Tian Yun smiled at her and said, "I went for this."

And as he finished his words, he brought out something from his pocket.
