Fate's Little Feral Consort

Chapter 270: Chapter 273 Brilliant Smile

As soon as Yun Qianyu said that, Xiao Yechen’s heart fluttered. With sparkling eyes, Xiao Yechen looked at Yun Qianyu and had a strong urge to tell her,?‘If I want to marry you, would you accept it? Feather, I promise I will protect you forever.’

However, before Xiao Yechen said anything, Ye Jia quickly stepped forward, took Yun Qianyu’s hand and said, “Feather, let’s go in. We don’t want to go back too late.”

Yun Qianyu agreed, “Alright.”

She then turned to Xiao Yechen and said, “Go on to the west camp then, I’ll be off to buy some herbs.”

Yun Qianyu turned around after saying that. Not having achieved what he came for, Xiao Yechen was unwilling to leave. Looking at Yun Qianyu intently, Xiao Yechen said, “Feather, I have some things I need to talk to you about. Go get the herbs you need, I’ll wait for you here.”

Looking at him curiously, Yun Qianyu wondered what was up with Xiao Yechen tonight.?‘Why’s he acting all strange, can’t he just tell me right now?’

However, Yun Qianyu didn’t think too much into it. She nodded and said, “Alright, wait for me here then.”

There weren’t many people in the store and the herbs Yun Qianyu wanted were quickly prepared.

Although the shopkeeper and the staff there had never met Yun Qianyu before, they had heard of her and recognized her by her description: a lady that had a cold and noble charm, with a white veil covering her face.

‘Isn’t this the eldest young miss of the Yun family? People say she’s really capable. Apparently, she is the most talented woman in Dongli state.’

...

The shopkeeper and the staff there all looked at her in awe and treated her with respect.

Noticing this, Yun Qianyu felt a little awkward. She wasn’t used to this kind of look from people.

“Are these people nuts or something?”

The two quickly walked away from the counter and headed out of the store. As they walked out the store, Ye Jia looked at Yun Qianyu and wanted to say something. However, she wasn’t sure if this was something she should talk about.

Yun Qianyu noticed this and quickly asked Ye Jia, “Cousin, what’s the matter?”

Ye Jia looked at Yun Qianyu seriously and said, “Feather, do you like His Highness An Prince?”

“Xiao Yechen? Yeah, he’s a very nice guy that treats me sincerely. If he needs help in the future, I will definitely help him.”

While talking about Xiao Yechen, Yun Qianyu’s mood became better.

Ye Jia observed Yun Qianyu carefully and saw that there was no sign of romantic love. With that, Ye Jia came to the conclusion that her cousin had no feelings for Xiao Yechen.?‘Cousin definitely sees him as a friend, but this Xiao Yechen…’

Looking at Ye Jia’s furrowed eyebrows, Yun Qianyu couldn’t help but ask curiously, “What’s the matter?”

“His Highness An Prince might have feelings for you and may want to marry you.”

Ye Jia said it directly which caught Yun Qianyu off guard.

She shook her head seriously and explained, “Cousin, are you sure? Xiao Yechen helped me because he saw that I was in a difficult situation. He said so from the beginning, so I know that he likes beautiful women. Look at my ruined face, how can he like me? As for marrying me, that’s even more impossible.”

After Yun Qianyu said that, she chuckled, shook her head and exited the store. She didn’t take Ye Jia’s words seriously and walked toward the carriage where Xiao Yechen was waiting.

Standing beside the carriage was a handsome man that had a brilliant smile. He looked at her gently, his gaze as warm as a ray of sunshine. The look in his eyes seemed softer and there was a hint of something else.
