1567 A Wave Of Nausea

Inside the carriage, Yaoyao could not help mulling over what Hexin had said to her that morning in the Prince Rui Mansion.

Did Beitang You really have feelings for Chen Jin?

Her eyes skimmed over Beitang You incredulously.

Beitang You was reading Palace Memorials, his head lowered.

There were a lot of Palace Memorials that required his attention, yet he had to leave the palace to fetch Yaoyao himself or she would be staying the night in the Prince Rui Mansion for sure.

They already had very few opportunities to spend time with each other, and he would lose one of those precious few if he had let that happen.

Therefore, he refused to let Yaoyao stay in the Prince Rui Mansion. Despite how busy he was, he insisted on taking this trip to fetch Yaoyao himself, even if he had to bring the Palace Memorials along and read them in the carriage.

Noticing that the girl had been staring at him for quite a while, he glanced up at her. “What’s the matter?”

As Yaoyao regarded his handsome features, she suddenly thought of an idea to test if he was truly into Chen Jin.

With an air of false concern, she said, “It’s getting dark and cold, and Chen Jin might freeze out there. Why don’t you let him inside?”

Beitang You stiffened, suddenly unable to process another single word of the Palace Memorials which demanded his urgent attention.

He looked up at her, and after a long moment, said coolly, “Chen Jin’s a tough man. That bit of wind out there isn’t enough to freeze him.”

Fidgeting, Yaoyao countered, “How can you be sure? He’s clearly a delicate man.”

Beitang You seethed with jealousy. Was he less important than Chen Jin to her?

“Are you serious?” he asked in a low voice.

“Yes.” Yaoyao nodded and stared back at him, hoping to find any imperceptible change in his expression. However, perhaps his facade was too flawless—or perhaps her speculation was wrong—for she could not detect a single trace on his face.

Not long after, Chen Jin was summoned into the carriage.

Chen Jin was perplexed.

He preferred riding his horse over sharing a carriage with his master.

Sensing the eerie atmosphere in the carriage, he steeled himself and asked, “Master, Princess, do you have any orders for me?”

Beitang You lifted his gaze and looked him up and down.

Sure enough, he was rather good-looking, with his reddish lips and pearl-white teeth.

Was Yaoyao actually into men like him?

Frowning, he touched his own face. He thought of himself as good-looking too, but why was Yaoyao’s attention not on him but on Chen Jin?

His face turned grim, and suddenly he found Chen Jin displeasing to the eye.

Sensing his master’s gaze, Chen Jin immediately tensed up.

Had he offended his master in any way?

Yaoyao, who was observing them, naturally interpreted their exchange of glances as a show of flirting.

“Uh, it’s a little hot in here, so I’m going to sit outside for a while. I’ll leave this space to you both.” Yaoyao got to her feet considerately and moved to leave the carriage.

When Beitang You came to his senses, she had lifted the curtain and slinked out.

What did she mean, leave the space to them?

Why did she feel the need to give them space?

Beitang You was bewildered.

Chen Jin, on the other hand, finally understood Yaoyao’s intentions.

He widened his eyes in disbelief.

His reaction suggested that he knew something, so Beitang You asked, “Did something happen in the Prince Rui Mansion today?”

Chen Jin broke out in a cold sweat and gulped as he peeked at his master’s frosty face. Eventually, he decided to bite the bullet and reveal the misunderstanding to him.

Beitang You’s face turned as black as thunder after hearing his explanation.

He was unable to believe his ears as well.

Him, having feelings for Chen Jin?

He stifled the wave of nausea in him, finally understanding why Yaoyao had done this.

It seemed that she had been testing him just now.

Moreover, it seemed that she felt certain that he had feelings for Chen Jin.

Rubbing his forehead, he snapped at Chen Jin in disgust, “Get out!” Right now, he refused to look at him for another second.
