The Anarchic Consort (Book 1)

646-650

"Because he had inappropriate intentions," Baili Jia Jue pushed Helian Wei Wei away with a flick of his fingers while watching her intently. Someone who was dared to look at his prey with such a stare deserved to die.

"What about the Murong Family?" Helian Wei Wei began to feel that he seemed to be annoyed by her more nowadays as he pushed her away when she was merely asking him questions.

Baili Jia Jue stared at her coldly. "What else do you think? Did you think I would spare his life when I know you once liked him? I am not that merciful." There is no difference between murdering one or two people. Why not kill them all? That would save us from the trouble later on.

Helian Wei Wei was confused for a moment before smiling, "Oh, I see you are jealous! Is it because I'm too pretty for you to lose?" She rummaged around Little Seven, who was deep in slumber and took out a mirror. After looking into it from different angles, she nodded and said, "I do have to admit I am quite a beauty."

"I agree that this face is indeed too pretty for your own good too," Baili Jia Jue rested his face on his palm while reaching out the other to poke her cheek. "What say you if we destroy it, it would save us from a lot of trouble, won't it?"

Helian Wei Wei's hands froze instantly. She then began to lift her bowl and started eating meekly.

Halfway through eating, she could not resist asking again, "What about the Emperor? Were you planning to attack the Emperor with the shadow guards that you have been training all this while at the right timing?"

"No, if he hasn't had his mind set on dealing with you and the Sky-swallowing Beast, I would not have ordered the shadow guards to surround the court," Baili Jia Jue was just as elegant as always while he was eating. It was hard to relate him with any devilish actions.

However, Helian Wei Wei still found the situation rather weird, "Are you that patient? This doesn't seem like your style at all."

Baili Jia Jue fixed his gaze on her again. Slowly, he put down his chopsticks and lay an arm at the back of her chair. He leaned back and said arrogantly, "There's no need to rush when facing someone who is going to breathe his last anyway."

Helian Wei Wei thought to herself... no wonder. For once, she was speechless!

"Are you done eating?" Baili Jia Jue gestured toward her empty bowl with his chin lifted. With a wave of his hand, he summoned the servants and ordered them to carry Little Seven away.

Only then did Helian Wei Wei realize that she had finished her second bowl of rice unconsciously.

Since when did she become a big eater?

What's more frustrating was, she was not even full yet!

I'm going to have another bowl. Helian Wei Wei told herself that she must stop after finishing this bowl.

She did stop eating, but after dinner, she began craving for some pastries and oranges. She could not peel her oranges while selecting her pastries, so she asked His Highness to do it for her.

Baili Jia Jue tossed an orange toward her. What he meant was clear – she would have to do it herself.

Forget it, she never expected him to be gentle anyway. Although it was widely believed that the spouse of a bossy president would normally be much gentler, who would have thought that her other half was the arrogant and cold type?

As Helian Wei Wei was occupied with her thoughts, Helian Wei Wei lay sideways while peeling the orange. She was known to be lazy so if she could lie down, she would never be standing up. At the moment, she was lying nice and cozy on the furry Imperial Noble Consort couch which was designed with delicate floral sculpture. She was wearing one of those traditional nightgowns with large and loose sleeves. When she lifted her arm, the sleeves would slip and reveal her fair and smooth arm. Combined with her usual temperament, she looked like a cat resting lazily that appeared rather alluring yet captivating.
