I am just an ordinary person! Why do you like me?

Seeing that the current situation was what she wanted, Felloni felt satisfied and happy.

But what Felloni couldn't understand was that there should have been hostility between the two yesterday.

But in the end, Miss Bai Jiegeng actually invited Miss Qin to the stage to dance with her.

But in the end, she figured it out.

Miss White Kikyo should be in——

provocative.

...

Shi Chenchen naturally also heard this reply.

She still wore a veil today and announced that she was not feeling well and could not see the wind.

So people still couldn't see what she looked like under the veil.

All they could see was Miss White Platycodon in a white riding suit. It was obvious that the suit was made of the most popular riding material of the season. It was soft and not easily damaged, and the texture of the fabric was also very high-end.

The noble ladies of the border town looked at the clothes they were wearing and immediately felt even less favorable towards Miss Bai Kikyo in front of them.

One of them was a young lady from a noble family in a border town. She and Felloni used to be good friends.

But ever since her father became a noble in the main city, the relationship between the two gradually faded.

Sani knew that Felloni was always good at judging the situation, so she thought that the Miss White Platycodon in front of her was most likely the person Miss Qin hated.

Anyway, there is no way she can become the wife of His Majesty the Son of God.

After all, almost everyone in the empire already knows that only Miss Qin is the fiancée of His Majesty the Son of God.

Although the two have not officially entered into an engagement yet, in everyone's minds, their engagement is already a foregone conclusion.

Sunny looked at the person in front of him. Even though she was wearing a veil, just by looking at her pair of light-colored eyes, he could tell that Miss White Kikyo was absolutely beautiful.

He also echoed Felloni and said, "I didn't expect that Miss Bai Jiejing, who suddenly became the Earl's adopted daughter, would be so shameless that she dared to snatch Miss Qin's fiancé."

After saying that, Sunny glanced at Ou Muchin who was silent beside him, and couldn't help feeling scared, wondering if what he said touched Miss Qin's heart.

Ou Muchin naturally also heard the two people's fierce remarks against Miss Bai Jiegeng, and she looked dissatisfied.

He said in a cold voice: "Don't talk about others behind their backs."

"Besides, it is her freedom to choose whoever she wants as her dance partner. His Highness the Son of God has nothing to do with me."

She turned around and saw Miss White Kikyo approaching.

The sunlight was not glaring, but the eyes of the girl who slowly approached them seemed to be filled with the soft light of spring.

...

Shi Chenchen approached the crowd, then looked at Ou Muchin who was in the middle of the crowd, and finally said with a smile:

"It's so lively here, Xiaoqin, what are you guys talking about here? Why don't you..."

"Tell me about it, too?"

Felloni, who spoke first, already had a look of something not quite right on his face.

She didn't expect that Miss Qin, the fiancée of His Highness the Son of God, would actually speak up for the adopted daughter.

Moreover, now, the real person is standing next to them. He clearly knows what they were talking about just now, but now he pretends not to know and asks them what they were talking about just now.

Sunny, who was beside him, heard Felloni say that Miss Bai Kikyo directly invited His Highness the Son of God last night.

And just now, Miss Qin spoke for Miss Bai Jiegeng.

Miss Qin is indeed the most perfect noble lady in the entire empire. Not only is she excellent herself, but although she has a somewhat cold personality, she is still so willing to speak for the woman who stole her fiancé.

Suddenly, she was filled with anger and wanted to vent her anger on behalf of Miss Qin.

She looked at the riding clothes of Miss White Kikyo in front of her with sarcasm and said, "Whoever comes here will be criticized."

She took a look at Shi Chenchen's riding clothes and continued, "He looks like he can't even get on a horse, but he's still wearing riding clothes. Isn't he going to the hunting ground with Lord Shenzi?"

Shi Chenchen smiled as he looked at the indignant girl in front of him. She seemed unaware that she had been used as a gun by her good friend.

Now she is stepping forward, just in time to be the first to do so.

Shi Chenchen lowered his eyes and said, "Indeed, my health is not very good, but I also want to hunt with everyone. Is this my fault?"

"Before, I couldn't appear on the hunting ground with everyone, but now I have the opportunity, so I want to make good use of it."

This is to make it clear that he did not come to the hunting ground for His Majesty the Son of God, but came here because he liked it.

But this set of ideas seemed to resonate with some of the noble ladies present. They were often taught that at home, they only needed to dress themselves up, arrange flowers and drink tea.

But all anyone expected of them was to be a good wife.

However, sometimes they also want to be like men, not just wandering around and chatting in the hunting grounds, they also want to go hunting together.

However, due to the eyes of the people around them, they did not dare to step into the hunting ground easily.

Firstly, they were warned that the hunting grounds there were extremely dangerous, and secondly, if they appeared too strong, they would be labeled as unfit to be wives.

Suddenly, they thought of Miss Bai Kikyo's previous life.

Some of them remained silent. They only thought that Miss White Kikyo suddenly became the adopted daughter of Count Polya, which was a gift from heaven.

However, as a commoner in the border town, Miss Bai Kikyo had no way of participating in these activities that only nobles could have access to.

In an instant, some naive noble ladies automatically imagined Miss Bai Kikyo’s tragic childhood experiences.

They looked at the girl who seemed to be about to cry, and couldn't help but feel regretful.

Maybe... they shouldn't make subjective judgments about the girl in front of them.

She is actually just an ordinary girl who has things she wants to do.

Ou Muchin, who was standing aside, couldn't help but twitch his lips as he watched Shi Chenchen's "performance".

At this moment, only one sentence rose in her heart -

"What a beautiful white lotus."

Of course, she could see that Shi Chenchen was acting, but this pitiful look did resonate with many noble ladies.

However, Felloni, who had provoked the dispute at the beginning, said: "Then dare you swear that you have no feelings for His Highness the Son of God?"

Everyone suddenly remembered that, yes, last night, Miss Bai Kikyo directly invited His Majesty the Son of God to dance the first dance.

Does such an ambiguous behavior really mean nothing to His Majesty the Son of God?

All of a sudden, the noble ladies at the scene began to talk among themselves, and looked at Shi Chenchen with hesitation.

Just as Shi Chenchen was considering his answer.

A deep and pleasant male voice came from behind.

"Ladies, the hunting competition is about to begin. I will take my sister back first."

Everyone looked at the tallest and most handsome knight in the empire, who was also the only son of Count Polya.

Then the title will definitely be passed on to him in the future!

At this moment, the clouds that were rushing by revealed the sunlight, and the dancing golden dots danced on his dark black clothes.

Wen Zhi's profile was blended into the halo at this moment, and his jawline from the side revealed a sharp, powerful and cold feeling.

Many of the noble ladies could not hear clearly what he was saying, as their attention was all attracted by his handsome face.

But they could vaguely feel the irresistible command from the man's few casual words.

That feeling inevitably reminded people of a man wearing a solemn and heavy black knight's suit covering his broad shoulders and narrow waist.

He rode on the unruly horse, slowly pulling the reins in front of him, and the horse under him could only accept his control obediently.

The faces of many noble ladies present began to blush, and they glanced at Wen Zhi behind Miss Bai Jiegeng from time to time.

Shi Chenchen turned around and found that the person standing behind him was Wen Zhi.

She raised a well-behaved smile and said softly:

"elder brother."

The word "brother" immediately drew Wen Zhi's attention back. He lowered his eyes and looked at the girl in front of him.

The girl's smile was as beautiful as a flower, her face was delicate but pale, and her light eyes were filled with joy. She looked like a pure yet fragile flower.

It seemed that she needed to be well cared for at all times so as not to end up withering.

His eyes darkened slightly, and then he reached out and grasped the wrist of the girl in front of him.

Amid her slightly stunned expression and the constant stares from the people around him, he nodded politely to the ladies and prepared to leave.

Before leaving, he looked at the noble ladies present with an expressionless face, but there was a hint of coldness in his eyes, and said in a deep voice:

"She is the daughter that Count Polya personally recognized, the eldest daughter of Count Polya's mansion, and also my sister... Ladies present here, please be careful when you speak in the future."

After saying that, Wen Zhi pulled the girl, who was still slightly stunned, away.

Frightened by Wen Zhi's eyes, everyone present shrank back a little.

Feloni and Sani, who had just been glanced at by Wen Zhi, suddenly turned pale. Although Wen Zhi did not say anything obviously threatening, they began to tremble all over.

Only then did they remember that even if Miss Bai Kikyo was adopted suddenly, she was still a member of Count Polya's Mansion.

The Countess of Polya's Palace...it is second only to the royal family in the entire empire.

Now it is not their turn to come here, those who came from the border town, to laugh at and mock her.

Thinking of Lord Wen Zhi's thundering methods that were famous throughout the empire, he had previously chopped off dozens of heads of spies from enemy countries.

Although it was just such a short sentence, they could all imagine how bloody and tragic the scene was.

Moreover, a viscount had casually talked about Wen Zhi's deceased mother, and the next day, that viscount was expelled from the main city area of ​​the empire.

Thinking of this, Felloni began to feel scared.

That shouldn't be the case. It should just be a coincidence. Besides, they just muttered a few words about Miss Bai Jiegeng behind her back. They shouldn't be reduced to the level of being expelled from the main city...

If her father knew about this, he would definitely marry her off to a sixty-something rural gentry in order to distance themselves from the relationship.

The uneasy looks of the two were also seen by others. They sighed in their hearts and thought that fortunately, they did not come out directly, otherwise they would be the ones who should be feeling scared now.

However, I never expected that Miss Bai Jiegeng, although an adopted daughter, seemed to have a very good relationship with Lord Wen Zhi.

The methods of this Miss White Kikyo... are really powerful.

...

Shi Chenchen, who was taken away by Wen Zhi all the way, finally stood still and shook off his hand.

Then the two of them stood still.

This is a corner, which happens to be a blind spot for everyone. Everyone is busy with their own things at this moment, and generally no one will come over.

Wen Zhi turned around and saw the girl rubbing her red wrist.

He couldn't help but frown. Why was her skin so delicate? He obviously didn't hold her wrist with much force, but...

There were indeed several red marks on the girl's snow-white and pure skin caused by his strength.

At this moment, she was lowering her head slightly, looking at her wrist with lowered eyes. Her long and slightly curled eyelashes cast shadows under her eyes. She lightly frowned her beautiful eyebrows, looking a little pitiful.

She raised her head and seemed to see the man looking at her with his eyes downcast. His eyes were slightly deep, which made her feel uncomfortable for some reason.

She bit her lips lightly, then quickly looked away and took a step back.

Wen Zhi moved closer to the girl in front of him. He could see a slightly fearful look in the girl's eyes. It seemed... she seemed a little scared.

The two were standing at a corner at this time. The servants around them had already gone to their tent to pack their luggage and prepare various daily necessities in the tent.

Now, there was no one else around them.

Wen Zhi's eyes remained calm, and there seemed to be nothing unusual, but his steps towards the girl were getting closer and closer.

When he saw the girl being forced back to the wall, she seemed to be trying to resist.

So, she held Wen Zhi's hand in front of her tightly, exerted a little force, and tried her best to stop him from getting any closer.

Wen Zhi's eyes darkened, as deep as the silent dark night, staring at the girl in his arms.

He took advantage of the girl's tight grip on his hand and suddenly pulled her to his side, forcing her to look him face to face.

Shi Chenchen's body was gently pulled by him. She felt that Wen Zhi didn't seem to use much force, but...

Because she had grabbed him with great strength just now, when Wen Zhi pulled her back, she fell into his arms due to inertia.

Shi Chenchen's cheek suddenly hit the man's chest. The familiar smell made her dazed for a moment, and the elegant ebony scent immediately flooded into her nose.

It was a warm and clean scent after being exposed to the sun, with a slightly bitter woody smell.

The two were so close that Shi Chenchen was instantly frightened.

She heard the man's low but magnetic voice above her head:

"fear me?"

"why?"
