Gifted Bride of the Sinned Prince

409 Love at First Sight! [Bonus chapter]

Lóng Wei reached the second floor and stood among the group of people, who seemed locals to him and did not get the tables. “I heard that these days the people of Qijiang are not safe,” Lóng Wei stated.

They looked at him with inquisitiveness. One of them told Lóng Wei to explain his statement.

“I have never seen you here before,” the other one said, who was standing near the pillar.

Lóng Wei smiled. “I am not from here. I am from Minzhou town. Mo Jinhai brought me and my other two brothers. He told us that the Dragon Castle is a famous restaurant. I was stunned to find such a place,” he affirmed and looked down. The main dancer of today’s night had yet to arrive on the stage. Before people would get busy watching her, he had to do his work.

“Oh. You are the friend of the Governor’s son,” the third one said. “It is our privilege to even talk with such a nobleman,” he proclaimed and the others agreed with him.

“Why were saying that Qijiang isn’t safe?” The man next to Lóng Wei asked and he glanced at him.

“Ahh, Mo Jinhai told me and my brothers that how General Wu Zihao was killed. No one could find out who killed the General,” Lóng Wei asserted and acted to get terrified. “I suddenly got chills all over my body,” he muttered and caressed his arms.

“That was an unfortunate incident. Even we were scared to find out about it. No one knows who did that,” one reply came. Lóng Wei keenly listened to the others too and started to empathize with them.

“On the day when we were with Mo Jinhai in the market, we found out that someone knows who killed General Wu Zihao,” Lóng Wei said while noticing their reactions.

.....

“I also heard about it. It is Meng Ru. Everyone was talking about him during the day. He is the talk of the town. Now, if he knows about the enemy, then why he did not go to the Governor’s office to report it.”

“Maybe Meng Ru is scared to come out,” Lóng Wei opined.

Those people agreed with Lóng Wei’s words. “Did you people hear about the new rumor in the town?” he asked with a curious gaze. They refused and asked Lóng Wei to tell them about it.

He gestured to them to come closer and they stepped closer.

“I heard he is from the tribe, who lives near the border. This is the new rumor in the town. I wish it is true and the officials soon nab him, so that they could find the true enemy,” Lóng Wei stated. Those people were shocked to hear that and admitted Lóng Wei’s suggestion.

Lóng Wei wore a tiny smile on his lips when he heard the announcement that the dancers would soon come to the stage. The people peeked down and got excited to watch the dance, which they were awaiting for a long time.

Lóng Wei gradually stepped back and left that place silently. As he reached the first floor, he again saw Zhou Zhengzhi around the table, where Xiaoming, Tianjie, and Mo Jinhai were present. He was drinking the wine with Mo Jinhai while the two other princes had the wine glasses in their hands.

“Get up,” Lóng Wei told Zhou Zhengzi. He lifted his head and looked at Lóng Wei.

“So, you are with them?” Zhengzi amusedly glanced at Mo Jinhai. “You did not tell me about him,” he stated and asked Lóng Wei if he could sit somewhere else. Mo Jinhai saw the dark, grim expression on Lóng Wei’s face. He did not want any fight to start there.

However, he could speak Lóng Wei pulled Zhengzi with his collars. Tianjie asked Lóng Wei not to do that. “I do not like to be ordered. Better leave my sight,” he said while gritting his teeth. Zhengzi smirked and held the wrists of Lóng Wei, asking him to let him go if he did not want to die.

“What did you say?” Lóng Wei said with a chuckle. Zhengzi indeed had a death wish.

“Brother, let him go,” Xiaoming told Lóng Wei. “Other eyes on you,” he said with a stern tone.

Mo Jinhai stood up and asked Zhengzi not to do that with his guests. He somehow pulled him away and took Zhengzi to the other side to pacify him.

Lóng Wei settled on the chair when Tianjie in a low voice asked him if it was necessary for him to create a scene at every place he went.

“I did not want to do that,” Lóng Wei stated. “He is the one, who started it,” he asserted. Lóng Wei told them how he ask the other men to bet their women in the board game. That was the main reason, he did not like Zhengzi. He was sick of such men in the kingdom and asked Xiaoming if he would like to do anything about it.

“This entire place is no lesser than a brothel house!” Lóng Wei remarked. Before he could speak further, the music started to play.

“Let’s look into this matter later, Brother,” Xiaoming stated and asked him if he did his work. Lóng Wei nodded his head and both the princes praised him.

Tianjie’s eyes fell on the main dancer about which everyone was talking. She was the most beautiful he had ever seen in his life. It seemed she enchanted him with just her single gaze. Though her face was covered with a thin fabric, those eyes mesmerized him.

“She is a jade beauty,” Tianjie mumbled. Both Xiaoming and Lóng Wei looked towards the stage.

“Not more than my Li Hua.”

“Not more than Jin Yu.”

Both Xiaoming and Lóng Wei said in a low voice.

Tianjie looked at them and chuckled. “This woman is even prettier than them,” he asserted.

“No.” Lóng Wei and Xiaoming said at the same time.

“I think I will marry her,” Tianjie said.

Lóng Wei smiled to hear that. “I cannot believe that you are speaking these words,” he affirmed.

“It is love at first sight!” Tianjie stated and picked up the wine glass to take a sip of the wine.
