I feel like I'm starting to like him more and more.
No, that's not right.
I don't like him; I just like this toy.
Yeah, it must be that way.
I closed my eyes, preparing to take a quick nap.
"Miss." Tang Mufeng suddenly called me softly.
I opened my eyes to look at him. "What is it?"
Tang Mufeng pointed to a spot not far away.
Following his gesture, I froze in place.
There stood Wanyi and Zhao Yanqing in the garden, chatting and laughing together.
Zhao Yanqing must have said something funny because a smile appeared on Wanyi's face.
Zhao Yanqing even reached out to pat Wanyi's head, and she didn't shy away; instead, she smiled back at him.
What the hell!
What is going on with those two?
I've worked hard to raise Wanyi, not so she could become the second male lead's girlfriend!
"Miss..." Tang Mufeng's expression turned a bit grim. " Third Young Master and Miss Wanyi..."
"Cough, cough." I cleared my throat. "Well, actually..."
I wanted to explain, but I didn't know how to say it.
Should I say that Wanyi is actually meant for you, and you two are true love?
I couldn't bring myself to say that.
I tugged on Tang Mufeng's arm, pulling him down. "Quick, squat down so Third Young Master doesn't see us."
Tang Mufeng frowned. "Are you afraid of Third Young Master?"
I: "..."
I’m scared of him, for crying out loud.
I just don’t want you to see your official pairing with other men!
I covered Tang Mufeng's eyes with my hand. "Don't look."
Tang Mufeng: "..."
He fell silent again.
I covered Tang Mufeng's mouth with my hand. "Don't make a sound."
Tang Mufeng: "..."
He blinked, as if realizing something.
He reached out, wrapped his arms around my waist, and pushed me down onto the stone bench.
I: "???"
I was shocked.
What the hell is this kid trying to do?
Does he want to take advantage of me?
"Don't make a sound," Tang Mufeng whispered in my ear.
I: "..."
It finally dawned on me.
Tang Mufeng wanted to hide us this way so Zhao Yanqing wouldn’t see us.
I let out a sigh of relief.
Thank goodness, this kid isn’t trying to take advantage of me after all.
Zhao Yanqing truly lives up to being the second male lead; he’s full of schemes.
He invited Wanyi to dance, but instead of following the normal steps, he spun and leaped with her in all sorts of ways...
Wanyi was so dizzy from his twirling that she could only cling tightly to his collar, her whole body pressed against him.
Zhao Yanqing's gaze towards Wanyi was filled with aggression. It was as if he wanted to swallow her whole.
I thought, "..."
I couldn't take it anymore!
"Let's go," I said, pulling Tang Mufeng's arm and standing up.
Tang Mufeng glanced down at my hand, his ears turning red.
I led Tang Mufeng back to the hall, just in time to see Zhao Yanqing and Wanyi finishing a dance.
"Miss," Wanyi called out as she jogged over to me. "Miss, Third Young Master just taught me a dance! The steps are really special..."
Excitement sparkled in Wanyi's eyes; it was clear she really liked that dance.
I thought, "..."
This is bad, really bad.
Wanyi must have developed feelings for Zhao Yanqing.
I sighed, "As long as you like it."
Wanyi looked at me in confusion, not understanding why I sighed.
I didn't explain and took Wanyi away.
In the carriage back home, I asked Wanyi, "What do you think of the Second Consort?"
"She's quite an extraordinary woman," Wanyi praised without reservation.
I asked again, "And what about Third Young Master?"
"Well..." Wanyi pondered for a moment. "He writes poetry very well."
I thought, "..."
This is it; it's completely over.
