The Rise of a General's Daughter-in-Law Doctor

Chapter 188: When Four Eyes Meet, It's the Feeling of Heartbeats

Li Muxia glanced at the flower boat beside her and then looked away, only to coincidentally meet Dongfang Jincheng's gaze.

What kind of look is that? Angry, yes, angry.

Why? Why is Prince Rui looking at me with such anger, and even a hint of grievance? What the hell?

Li Muxia, of course, had no idea. Ever since Dongfang Jincheng saw Li Muxia, his gaze hadn't left her. He had assumed that Li Muxia would see him first, but what he saw after waiting and waiting was that Li Muxia's gaze had actually fallen on Prince Chen first.

This is probably just men's damn competitive spirit; they even have to compare who she sees first.

Prince Chen was also caught in the crossfire, receiving a fierce glare from his own third brother.

Dongfang Jinxuan saw that his third brother's mood changed from happy to depressed in an instant. Following Dongfang Jincheng's gaze, he saw Li Muxia's puzzled look.

He understood; his third brother was probably jealous. He really wanted to run up to Li Muxia and say on his behalf, "Please bear with him. This is my third brother's first time experiencing love, so he's a little inexperienced."

Watching Li Muxia and Dongfang Jincheng stare at each other, Wei Shuyue felt as if something was about to burst forth from her heart, and if she continued to watch, she would not be able to suppress it.

Fortunately, Prince Chen greeted Prince Rui at this moment, which diverted Dongfang Jincheng's attention from Li Muxia.

Their ship was some distance from Prince Rui and Prince Chen's ship, so they couldn't hear their conversation clearly.

Li Muxia had no interest in eavesdropping on other people's conversations, so she changed her gaze to look at the other pleasure boats on the lake.

However, she soon discovered that Prince Chen and Prince Rui's ships were getting closer and closer to them.

When the three ships approached, the old general and General Li emerged from the cabin on the other side, leading the people on board to pay their respects to Prince Chen and Prince Rui.

The old general asked, "Prince Chen and Prince Rui, are you also going to the pavilion in the middle of the lake?"

The two nodded in unison upon hearing this.

Prince Chen: "Is the old general also going to the art exhibition?"

The old general said, "Yes, I am a rough man and don't know much about these things, but An Jin is quite interested in them."

As she spoke, she looked at Li Anjin with affection.

Upon hearing this, Prince Chen felt a pang of envy in his eyes. After all, the royal family was ruthless, and this kind of kinship was something they could only dream of.

The old general was also known for being very protective of his own children and grandchildren; although he was strict with them, he loved them dearly.

Thinking of this, he looked at Li Muxia with a sense of guilt. Recently, the matter of their divorce had been brought up again, and he had heard some rumors, most of which were negative comments about Li Muxia.

Seeing Dongfang Jinlin looking at Li Muxia, Dongfang Jincheng said, "The art exhibition is about to start, General, why don't we go together?"

The old general was quite satisfied with the two princes. Apart from the matter of Li Muxia being rejected in marriage, the old general greatly admired the two princes, especially the second prince, Dongfang Jinlin, who was outstanding in appearance, character, and talent.

Thinking of this, he felt a little sad. In fact, he was very satisfied with Dongfang Jinlin as his grandson-in-law. If only the two of them hadn't broken off the engagement, but now he could only dream about it. After all, Dongfang Jinlin was already engaged.

He then looked at Dongfang Jincheng beside him. Although this man was somewhat aloof, he was in no way inferior to Dongfang Jinlin in other aspects. However, the old general had given up the idea of ​​marrying Li Muxia into the royal family. He hoped that Li Muxia could marry an ordinary person who would love and cherish her.

The old general said, "It is an honor for my family to be with the two princes."

And so, the three boats sailed side by side toward the pavilion in the middle of the lake. As if they had planned it, the old general's family's boat was sandwiched between the two princes. The occasional glances from the two princes made Li Muxia very uncomfortable. She wasn't the only one who felt uncomfortable; Wei Shuyue and Feng Jingxin also felt the same way. The two of them were in surprisingly similar moods.

Upon arriving at the pavilion in the middle of the lake, the two princes disembarked and stood at the edge of the pavilion. Although it was called the pavilion in the middle of the lake, it did not look like a pavilion at all, but rather a large painted boat. It had been cleaned in advance, and several children were unrolling scrolls and carefully hanging them up.

As Li Muxia was observing her surroundings, the two princes, for some unknown reason, saw that the other women were being helped off the boat, and simultaneously reached out to Li Muxia, wanting to help her off the boat as well.

Li Muxia looked at the two hands that suddenly appeared in front of her, somewhat at a loss. She turned her head and glanced at Feng Jingxin, who was being helped off the boat. Sure enough, she saw a pair of resentful eyes staring at her.

Although she really wanted to take this opportunity to disgust Feng Jingxin, looking into Prince Chen's pure eyes, she gave up. She still admired Prince Chen and didn't want to use him. Moreover, she felt that Prince Chen seemed to have some inappropriate thoughts about her, so she couldn't give him hope or let him think that he was interested in her.

However, she didn't want to do the same with her other hand either. That was the person Sister Wei liked. Turning her head to look at Wei Shuyue, she saw a pair of beautiful eyes that were about to cry, looking in her direction.

Li Muxia roared inwardly, "Are you two crazy? Can you please stop messing with me?"

She gave a slightly awkward laugh, then decided to stop pretending and lifted her skirt, intending to get ashore on her own.

The two princes also saw through her intention. Prince Chen awkwardly withdrew his hand, finding it somewhat laughable that he had suddenly wanted to help Li Muxia ashore. What was wrong with him?

Prince Rui withdrew his hand, but he did not leave. He stood in front of Li Muxia, waiting for her to come ashore.

Just as Li Muxia had one foot on the shore and was about to pull the other foot back, the boat became unstable and swayed backward. The force pulled on Li Muxia's foot, which she hadn't yet pulled back, and she was about to fall.

Dongfang Jincheng quickly wrapped his arms around Li Muxia's waist and pulled her closer. The two spun around in place, their eyes meeting. Li Muxia was thinking to herself: What kind of ridiculous idol drama is this?

However, seeing the handsome face magnified before her, Li Muxia's heart skipped a beat, and her cheeks unsurprisingly flushed red. This feeling was strangely familiar to Li Muxia; it was the feeling she had only experienced when facing Long Ziheng.

Startled by her own realization, Li Muxia pushed Dongfang Jincheng away as soon as she stood still.

Is she the rumored "scumbag woman," the "female sea queen" everyone talks about?

The words that flashed through Li Muxia's mind left her somewhat bewildered. She didn't even thank Dongfang Jincheng, who had just saved her, before fleeing towards the pavilion in the middle of the lake.

Dongfang Jincheng was quite satisfied with Li Muxia's reaction. If he wasn't mistaken, she was just shy.

The old general came up to Dongfang Jincheng and thanked him on behalf of Li Muxia.

Dongfang Jinlin, who was not far away, had seen the whole scene. He squinted and seemed to be thinking about something. He only came to his senses when Feng Jingxin called him.

Wei Shuyue glanced at Dongfang Jincheng, then followed Li Anran and Su Lanzhi to chase after Li Muxia.
