Huxin's drooping eyes flashed with a glimmer, the light shimmering and leisurely sweeping across her gaze. In that brief moment, it caused the man holding her to pause for a moment.
Then, a playful smile appeared at the corner of his lips as he half-jokingly said to Huxin,
"What's wrong with you, Girl? Even if Third Brother is late today, you can't just ignore me, right? Who was it that said not long ago that they would never fall out with two people in this lifetime—one is my cold Fourth Brother, and the other is my pampered Third Brother? You can't have forgotten so quickly, can you?"
His voice grew increasingly clear and warm. Huxin let out a long breath, finally having the energy to look up at the man who was tightly holding her.
The owner of the embrace wore a dark golden fitted brocade robe, standing tall and elegant. The robe was of superior quality, intricately embroidered with large dark orchid patterns at the collar and cuffs. The orchids bloomed gracefully, accentuating his handsome and refined features, adding an air of noble elegance to him.
Suddenly, Huxin thought of a phrase: "A gentleman like jade, also like smoke."
The man's handsome and elegant features were now adorned with a light and relaxed smile, giving his eyes an ethereal quality. It seemed as if the gloomy mist from earlier had been absorbed by his gaze, returning the light to Huxin, while shrouding himself in a veil of mist.
Did those two little Girls just call him Third Prince? Then he must be... Jing Yushan?
This Jing Yushan had quite a casual attitude towards her and seemed to know about her situation with Jing Tian'ao! He must be Jing Tian'ao's brother, someone admired by many young ladies from the prominent families of this Vast Dynasty.
Having figured out the identity of her visitor, Huxin finally dared to speak.
She raised her gaze but only met his eyes for an instant before looking down again to avoid his gaze.
"Put me down first!" This was the first sentence she said to a stranger since arriving here.
Jing Yushan's expression clearly showed a hint of doubt, but the next moment, he maintained a calm smile as he looked at her, completely ignoring her words and carrying her forward.
As they were about to leave the garden, Huxin's eyes widened in alarm as she glanced around.
Today was supposed to be the Grand Empress Dowager's seventieth birthday celebration. If she were to be carried out by Jing Yushan like this, the series of chain reactions that would follow were something she couldn't confidently handle.
When Jing Yushan passed by Chirp and Xiao Dai while holding Huxin, his gaze instantly turned icy, as if a thousand-year-old ice had suddenly formed. This was a stark contrast to the warm and gentle demeanor he had shown her just moments before.
Even though Chirp and Xiao Dai were kneeling there, they were now drenched in cold sweat, feeling as if they were being pierced by his gaze.
Although Huxin had lowered her eyes to avoid Jing Yushan's stare, after experiencing so much deception in the modern business world and undergoing devilish special training, how could she not sense the murderous intent in Jing Yushan's eyes when he looked at Chirp and Xiao Dai?
These two girls—one timid and the other rough—were just right for her to extract information from. She absolutely could not afford to die now!
Thinking of this, Huxin's expression darkened. Since she couldn't gauge how the owner of this body used to speak, and given that this person had an infatuated personality, it wouldn't hurt to be a bit stubborn.
Then, Huxin raised her hand and pinched Jing Yushan's arm hard, using all her strength. After all, this guy had been holding onto her without letting go! Xia Huxin's advantages were not something anyone could take for granted!
"Ouch! Girl! You!" Jing Yushan winced from the pain inflicted by Huxin's pinch. His brows furrowed, and a fleeting look of inquiry flashed in his eyes before he quickly returned to his usual clear and gentle demeanor, which left Huxin feeling alarmed.
This Jing Yushan would definitely not be easier to deal with than Jing Tian'ao.
"If you know it hurts, let go! Where are you taking me?" Huxin said as she lowered her head to adjust her clothes, her tone quite impatient.
