Duan Wu Ya was laughing making Duan Xin Ye feel even more embarrassed. Even though she was a princess, she was a woman above all. Just like any other woman, talking about such things was embarrassing.
The crowd was stupefied. Some of them had piercingly cold expressions on their face as they glanced at Lin Feng.
Among them, many of them wanted to become Duan Xin Ye’s husband. Even though they didn’t really have feelings for her, they still hoped to marry her.
If they could get married, their future would be filled with a wider range of opportunities to increase their status.
At that moment, Duan Wu Ya was talking to Duan Xin Ye about Lin Feng in a favourable way. Inevitably, the others were looking at Lin Feng in a cold way.
Lin Feng frowned and lowered his head and there wasn’t the least bit of joy in his heart, it was rather coldness. He then turned towards Duan Wu Ya and looked at him with indifference.
“Alright, everybody clearly knows why I invited you today. Since there is nothing to say anymore, you can all leave.” said Duan Wu Ya while looking at the crowd. After ordering for guests to leave, he looked at Meng Chong and Feng Xiao who were lying down. He then said: “Please take away these two as well.”
“Lin Feng you stay here, I have some things I would like to discuss with you.”
Duan Wu Ya said while looking at Lin Feng which stupefied everybody else. They coldly looked at him as they left, they had no choice but to leave. Duan Wu Ya had already ordered for them to leave. They had to be obedient.
Wen Ao Xue looked at Lin Feng with a deep meaningful look, he then gently tapped his shoulder as he walked past and left the pavilion.
A short time after, in the pavilion on the lake, the atmosphere had become especially quiet. Duan Wu Ya, Duan Xin Ye and Lin Feng were the only people left.
“Your Highness, what do you need to discuss with me?” asked Lin Feng with indifference.
“Hehe.” Duan Wu Ya laughed softly. He looked at Lin Feng and said: “It seems like you’re not in a good mood.”
“Your Highness, do you think that I have a reason to be in a good mood?” asked Lin Feng in a cold and detached way. Duan Wu Ya didn’t take notice of his tone and was still warmly smiling.
“Brother, you two can chat, I will leave now.” said Duan Xin Ye while standing up. She wanted to leave but Duan Wu Ya prevented her from leaving and said: “Xin Ye, I am your brother and have nothing to hide from you. Stay here. Don’t be so impatient to leave.”
Duan Xin Ye’s beautiful face revealed an expression of uncertainty but she then gently nodded her head. Immediately after, she slowly sat down again and calmly stayed for their conversation.
“Lin Feng, what makes you unhappy?” asked Duan Wu Ya while kindly and warmly smiling at Lin Feng.
Lin Feng looked at Duan Wu Ya and slowly said: “Since Your Highness wants to listen to me, I will speak.”
Lin Feng clearly understood that Duan Wu Ya was well aware that he wasn’t happy.
“Your Highness, a moment ago, in front of everyone else, you asked one question to the princess. You asked her what she thought about me. Were you not voluntarily trying to draw everybody’s attention towards me? Your Highness seemed to think that I did not already have enough attention and asked me to stay here with you and the princess. I fear that now, everybody thinks that Your Highness’ purpose is to help me to marry the princess. I also fear that now, even the people with no enmity towards me will hate me. With every single influential family after me, I am a dead man.” said Lin Feng coldly.
