You, get lost.
A hush fell over the courtyard at Jun Linyuan’s words.
All eyes were on the crown prince.
After all, Bi Yunfei was the respected mayor of a city like Northern Border City, which made him a high officer of the frontier. Jun Linyuan had just told him outright to scram.
The smile was wiped off Bi Yunfei’s face and he looked like he had been slapped. His face turned red, then green.
Feng Yiran didn’t see that coming either. He blanched at how blunt Jun Linyuan was.
Your Royal Highness… I thought… you didn’t like Feng Wu. That was why you called off the engagement, wasn’t it?
Jun Linyuan rose to his feet with his right hand behind his back. He raised his chin and said,
Feng the Third.
Yes —
Feng Xun hurried to his side.
However, Jun Linyuan wasn’t talking to him. He snorted and went on.
Step out if you want to compete with him.
Anyway, when it came down to it later, Feng Xun was never going to be Jun Linyuan’s match.
Wow! Feng Xun felt like crying! Boss Jun had stood up for him! Boss Jun treated him so well! He… he felt like thanking the boss with his own body!
Sob
— Boss Jun —
Eyes twinkling, Feng Xun tugged at Jun Linyuan’s wide sleeve.
Jun Linyuan gave him a look of distaste and drew his sleeve back.
Only then did Mayor Bi and the others recall the rumor about the crown prince.
To the crown prince, there were two kinds of people in this world: his people and the rest.
Feng Xun was his man, hence his support.
Feng Wu belonged to the other category. Therefore, Jun Linyuan didn’t care if she lost the chance at a good marriage, or that she was to be reduced to a cook for Feng Xun’s family.
Everyone now looked at Feng Wu sympathetically.
Feng Wu was speechless.
Mayor Bi gave Feng Wu a commiserating glance. One word from Jun Linyuan, and Feng Wu had been reduced from a daughter of a respected family to a cook. One couldn’t help but wonder what she had done to offend Jun Linyuan.
Had it been from anyone else, even His Majesty himself, Mayor Bi would have still tried to work around it… however, he didn’t dare utter a word now that Jun Linyuan had made the decision. He was convinced that Feng Wu would be a little cook for the rest of her life.
The mayor lost all interest at that thought. He heaved a sigh for both Feng Wu and his retarded son.
However, given his scheming nature, the smile was soon back on his face.
Your Royal Highness, I presume that you’ll be staying in Northern Border City for a little while? I’ve had the Lingering Garden prepared for you. Would you like to take up residence there?
Jun Linyuan and the others had arrived unannounced, depriving the mayor of the opportunity to entertain them. Now that he finally had an audience with the crown prince, he wouldn’t let the opportunity slip away!
Feng Yiran was on the alert at that suggestion.
So, the mayor was really here to rob him of the right to host the crown prince, not the marriage! Bi Yunfei wanted to play up to Jun Linyuan, but so did Feng Yiran! He had an obligation to his entire clan!
At that thought, Feng Yiran also forced a smile.
Your Royal Highness, the Feng manor is a little outdated, but it’s peaceful and quiet here. If Your Royal Highness would like, the Feng manor is…
Mayor Bi waved his hand, cutting Feng Yiran off.
No, of course not. That’s so inappropriate. Young Master Feng, your manor is long neglected and in disrepair. I saw some broken roof tiles on my way in. How could His Royal Highness live in a place like this?
Before anyone realized it, the merry duo were tearing at each other’s throats.
