Wild Princess: Marrying an Ugly Prince

Chapter 160 Choice between freedom and Jun Yeyan

Chapter 160 Choice between freedom and Jun Yeyan

Bai Aoxue’s words “He is the fellow who intended to assault me.” caused Jun Yeyan hit the roof once again.

Jun Yeyan moved his long legs to step away.

Bai Aoxue grabbed Jun Yeyan instantly, “Where are you going?”

“To kill him.” Jun Yeyan fluttered his thin lips and spit out three words.

Of course, Bai Aoxue knew whom Jun Yeyan wanted to kill. She shook her head in disagreement, “I have already taught him a lesson. Right now, we’d better not take blunt action. If we kill Du Siyan only one day before we set off to Nanyue, Jun Wuhen will not let it go easily.”

Jun Yeyan apparently didn’t care about this. He said in a deep voice, “Anyone who covets you deserves to die.”

Jun Yeyan right now was brutal and had the intention of killing. His eyes with charming amber color made people feel cold.

Nobody liked this kind of feeling which was like being staring at by a poisonous snake.

Jun Yeyan was the king of this world. He was cold and proud. He acquired the ability of making people fear.

Bai Aoxue sighed lightly, “I didn’t let him succeed. Besides, if you really want to kill him, there are many opportunities on the way to Nanyue. Why bother to destroy your plan now.”

Jun Yeyan stopped and froze on Bai Aoxue’s words.

Jun Yeyan was about to say something when Bai Aoxue said first, “I am little tired. I will go to have a rest. You don’t need to wake me up for dinner. You can just attend your own business.”

She didn’t wait for Jun Yeyan to reply to her and turned around to leave.

Mumian, Wenxi and Hongxiu followed Bai Aoxue and there was no one talking on the way.

Jun Yeyan looked at the back view of Bai Aoxue and sighed.

“Master, does the Princess know our plan?” Zhao asked carefully.

Jun Yeyan smiled bitterly, and nodded, “How come she doesn’t know? She is very clever. Since the moment she made a deal with me, she knew exactly what I wanted. Now I’m the one who want to take my plan in advance.”

Nalan Youhong was anxious of seeing Jun Yeyan in such sorrow, “You should tell her that the reason you take your plan in advance is just for her.”

Jun Yeyan shook his head, “Aoxue will understand. I don’t want her to bear a heavy burden.”

Then there was a short period of silence between the three.

“What will happen to the co-operation interest between you and Bai Aoxue?” Nalan Youhong asked in deep voice.

Jun Yeyan froze on Nalan Youhong’s words.

His fists clenched tightly and then loosed. Everyone knew that it was not calm in his heart.

“I will not let her leave! She will never leave me, ever. Like I said, I will fight to conquer this world. Even if I fail and the world doesn’t belong to me in the end, I will accept the fact. But Bai Aoxue is definitely mine!” Jun Yeyan said cruelly, with cold light shooting out from his narrowed eyes.

Jun Yeyan said with persevering resolution.

Nalan Youhong sighed and shook his head, “I will go with you to Nanyue this time, so that I can collect information about the administrative divisions of Nanyue.”

Jun Yeyan didn’t reply. Staring at the direction of Bai Aoxue’s leaving, he finally could not help to follow Bai Aoxue.

Bai Aoxue didn’t go back to the bamboo yard, but went to the garden of jacaranda, where she could calm down.

She persuaded Mumian and the other two girls to pack up for the journey. Bai Aoxue sat on the swing that Jun Yeyan made for her and she swung back and forth lightly.

The sun shine was warm and Bai Aoxue slowly closed her eyes, which had hidden much emotions.

How time flew! She had been in this world for such a long time. She had been in phoenix coronet and robes of rank. She had got married. She had got her kinship. All of this was just like a dream.

Purple jacaranda flowers were blown off from the twigs and brought to distance by the breeze. Bai Aoxue’s black hairs floated in the breeze, like fairy’s wings.

Jun Yeyan came to the back yard full of jacaranda flowers and caught sight of Bai Aoxue’s red figure, which was like a flame butterfly. The red robe and the black hair made a sharp contrast which was extremely beautiful.

Jun Yeyan was shocked dumbly and he stood still with fear of scaring Bai Aoxue, who was like a fairy. Right now, nothing except Bai Aoxue could draw Jun Yeyan’s attention. Even the magnificent nature scenery couldn’t attract his attention.

Bai Aoxue heard footsteps in a distance. But she didn’t open her eyes, because she knew that only Jun Yeyan and she could come here. So it must be Jun Yeyan that came to her.

Since the day they got married and Bai Aoxue sang the song “The Empire and the Beauty” for Jun Yeyan, Jun Yeyan gave the command that nobody was allowed to enter the back yard full of jacaranda flowers.

This back yard belonged only to Jun Yeyan and Bai Aoxue.

Bai Aoxue recalled things happened in the past and she could not help to sigh with emotions.

She had feelings with Jun Yeyan. But she didn’t know whether it was love. Jun Yeyan could set her ease and give her a sense of security. What was love? She didn’t know, nor had she experienced, either.

Whether Jun Yeyan had feelings with her, she was not sure. From the very beginning, she knew that Jun Yeyan was ambitious to power, which was not the thing she wanted.

She and Jun Yeyan always traveled into opposite directions.

She cherished freedom and enjoyed life unstrained. Whether in the wild world or in the nature, she was free. But if she had to spend the rest of her life with Jun Yeyan in the palace, which was like an elegant cage for her, she didn’t know whether she can hold on to the end.

There were so many uncertainties in the future. What she wanted was not much, but could not be given by Jun Yeyan, who came from the ancient times.

What if she really loved Jun Yeyan? But she never shared things with others. If she was supposed to share Jun Yeyan with so many ladies in the palace, what would she do?

Then she would rather discard Jun Yeyan for freedom, because in that case, she didn’t need Jun Yeyan’s love any more.

Bai Aoxue’s body belonged to ancient people, but her soul was from the 21st century. She was educated in the 21st century. She would not like any other ancient females, who believed women was of good virtue if they were not talented in knowledge and women should live her life by marrying a husband and raising children.

So, if she was supposed to be a female like an ancient woman, then she would rather discard love.

Love for her was not real, just as transient as floating clouds.

Thinking of this, Bai Aoxue stopped swinging. She felt a little bit heartache.

She frowned. She didn’t know why she felt heartache, but she tried her best to control her emotions.

Once when she was in a bad mood, she would go to the black fighting places to let out her emotions. But right now, right here, there were no fighting places. She took a deep breath. When she opened her eyes again, there was no ripple in her eyes, only cold estrangement.

Jun Yeyan was right by her side and noticed every tiny facial expression of Bai Aoxue. When Bai Aoxue frowned and clenched her hands, Jun Yeyan thought she was uncomfortable. He was about to step up to check her up when she already opened her eyes.

The estrangement and indifference in her eyes that he had never seen before in his life were much calmer than they usually were and made Jun Yeyan concern about her very much.

It seemed that nothing can make her emotional.

Jun Yeyan didn’t like this Bai Aoxue. Compared with Bai Aoxue in the past, right now she was much like an elegant doll without emotions.

In the past, his Aoxue would smile lightly and curl up her lips when she was happy.

His Aoxue would shed tears when she was sad.

Jun Yeyan was upset and confused that why her emotions changed so frequently. This was out of his control and he panicked.

“Aoxue, you...” Jun Yeyan said softly and his eyes hid all his emotions.

Bai Aoxue cleaned up all the emotions in her eyes and said to Jun Yeyan, who had stepped up by her side, “Nothing. We are leaving now. I will miss here once we leave for Nanyue.”

Jun Yeyan knew that Bai Aoxue didn’t tell the truth. But he never pushed her. As long as she wanted to talk, he would listen carefully.

“It’s windy and a little bit cold. Let’s go back.” Jun Yeyan held Bai Aoxue’s hand and said softly.

Bai Aoxue let Jun Yeyan lead the way and followed him to leave the back yard slowly.

“Jun Yeyan, this garden with jacaranda bush is my favorite place. It is a clean and quiet place. But it is enclosed by high walls. It has boundaries no matter how broad it is.” Bai Aoxue fluttered her red lips, looking at Jun Yeyan’s slim and thin back view.

Jun Yeyan froze on Bai Aoxue’s words. He didn’t know what to say. He just held Bai Aoxue’s hands tightly, clenching their fingers.

He didn’t expect Bai Aoxue would say these words at this critical time. He knew that she liked and was longed for freedom. But he could not get her stuck, nor could he imprison her.

“If...if I enlarge the boundaries, would you please not leave me?” Jun Yeyan asked softly, but he didn’t turn around, nor did he dare to turn around.

Nobody would believe Jun Yeyan dared not to turn around. But right now, he was fearful. He dared not to see Bai Aoxue’s bright eyes. He was afraid that he failed to insist on making Bai Aoxue stay.

He knew clearly that if he failed this time, he would lose her forever.

“Don’t be silly. There will always be boundaries no matter how broad you enlarge the garden. Birds migrate for warm weather. Even if they come back to the same place in the next year, can you guarantee it is still exactly the same place? Everything keeps on changing, no exception, including people, people’s mind and nature scenery.” Bai Aoxue sighed.

Jun Yeyan didn’t loosen Bai Aoxue’s hands. He wanted to say something but his throat seemed to be jammed.

Bai Aoxue thought Jun Yeyan would not talk any more. But all of a sudden, Jun Yeyan turned around and pressed her hand on his chest. His eyes were not tender, and rage took possession of his eyes.

“Can’t you feel my heart beat? It throbs vigorously just because of you. Now if you don’t need it to throb for you, then cut it out! I am originally a heartless person, and I cannot feel any feelings. I keep my heart beating only because I love you. But you want to discard my love for you. No, I cannot let that happen. Take my heart with you. If you want to leave me, take my heart with you.” Jun Yeyan curled his lips cruelly. His smile made Bai Aoxue feel depressed.

Jun Yeyan was evil, unruly, and what was more, he didn’t care about anything or anybody else except Bai Aoxue.

Bai Aoxue didn’t know what to do in such a situation.

Jun Yeyan’s eyes with amber color shined light which was almost golden and could make people depraved. Bai Aoxue dared not to have eye contact with Jun Yeyan. The moment Bai Aoxue wanted to turn around, Jun Yeyan put his hands on her cheeks to fix her head so that she couldn’t turn. It was an absolute sign telling Bai Aoxue that she couldn’t resist him.

Bai Aoxue frowned lightly and didn’t know why Jun Yeyan acted like this. She fluttered her red lips intending to scold him. But suddenly, Jun Yeyan’s lips pressed hardly on hers, totally out of her expectation.

Just then the breeze blew and the jacaranda flowers floated in the air.
