An Bing Qing was right, she was indeed digging her own grave but her reason wasn't accurate at all; she felt like that because of shame and didn't think about the consequences her action might bring if someone were to catch the gist of her sudden behaviour.
Ouyang Qiao Qi blinked, she couldn't understand An Bing Qing's words and she didn't know how to ask further as she saw that An Bing Qing's face was completely buried on An Yu Yong's back.
An Yu Yong, who was about to shift his sight from the Crown Prince to the incoming gaily voice, felt a warmness behind his back before his ears twitched at his little sister's sentence; he couldn't conjecture her meaning as his eyes were away from her when she suddenly made such an action, but he had the feeling that it couldn't possibly be a good thing.
The most taken aback by An Bing Qing's move where the trio of young men who had been paying attention to her.
There were also many bystanders with stunned and wondering expressions which now were more, as the people looking towards them had increased because of Li Hao Shan and Wang Shu's intervention.
Most of the new eyes looking weren't due to Li Hao Shan who belonged to a Top Noble Clan as they knew of his liking of jumping in any good show but because of Wang Shu whose clan was the strongest amongst Ancient Clans, he as its eldest young master had an impeccable reputation and didn't like to join this kind of scenes, or so they had heard. That's why many more people were curiously watching.
Even though the three exceptional young men were astounded, they had different thoughts going through their minds.
'What a weird girl, indeed. The first time we met, she ran away and now she hides after just seeing me. It seems that her first reaction wasn't only because she was surprised at my sudden appearance yesterday night. Am I scary? Or did I do something to her?' Wang Shu thought but soon he negated his assumptions; he wasn't scary and this was just the second time he had seen her, there was no way for him to have done something to her. With this, he unknowingly grew truly intrigued.
At the same time, the Crown Prince was thinking with a belly full of anger, 'That reaction... Don't tell me that she...' Her response at the arrival of Wang Shu had surpassed whichever one he had imagined she should have had with him. The Crown Prince hadn't minded it at first as he liked her icy beauty looks but now that picture had been shattered. Moreover, by the looks of it, she had that cold poise because she was uninterested in him and had her mind already set. Though, he had thought that her attention was set on that unknown white-haired man with only good looks and probably no background that he had seen with her the previous night but it is actually Wang Shu.
'Good, how daring can she be?!' He thought while giving a cold gaze to Wang Shu.
Since the beginning, Li Hao Shan had been passing his eyes from person to person, watching the different reactions with a smirk but with a mind in deep ponder, 'I have forgotten those sporadic images that pop in my mind from time to time as they hadn't been recurrent anymore with the help of that gruesome medicine. I took them as being nothing, whatever was in those fragments had no sense but now, seeing that the woman I saw with Wang Shu actually exists then those other people should also exist. If that is so then it is bad'. His heart sank but to not show it in his face, he said, "Wang Shu, you have a new admirer".
Wang Shu, who was next to him didn't agree with his statement, 'Admirer? That can't be. I'm sure we haven't encountered before. Besides, I think that she is avoiding me', he thought.
When the people around heard him voicing out what they also thought about, they couldn't help but look towards the clearly angered Crown Prince. Things weren't going the right way, they thought before pitying An Bing Qing's bad luck. Of course, there were some bystanders that didn't understand the greatest situation and couldn't help but look at her with envy and regret in their eyes.
An Bing Qing couldn't think about anything more than sewing Li Hao Shan's mouth, 'Hao Shan, why you just don't shut up!' She pressed her rosy lips and stuck close to her eldest brother.
As An Yu Yong didn't know why his little sister had acted like that, he still had his doubts when he heard Li Hao Shan words and was on the verge of getting angry. But when he felt her move, he furrowed his brows in contemplation.
Feeling the eyes around on him, the Crown Prince was about to talk when the sound of drums thundered through the square, announcing the arrival of the Ghost Forest Competition's main host; the inauguration hadn't begun because the main host was nowhere in sight.
At length, the Crown Prince swallowed his words and flapped his wide sleeves before going back to the Imperial Family's place.
"Tsk, Should I add more fuel?" Li Hao Shan said.
Wang Shu didn't reply; he just dismissed himself with a graceful salute before turning back and walking away.
"Did I create too much trouble?" he murmured before saying to An Yu Yong and company, "It was a pleasure to meet you. We will be seeing each other later" and then he turned back to catch up with Wang Shu.
An Bing Qing who heard their parting words turned her head around to see their vanishing figures; specifically, Wang Shu's.
Before she could retrieve her vision, she heard, "Little sister, have you seen enough?"
"Huh? Ah!" She raised her head and saw that her eldest brother had turned his head back and was looking at her.
After processing his words, she looked around and said, "Not enough, this place is so big". Then, she went towards a curiously looking Ouyang Qiao Qi.
An Yu Yong lips twitched at her reply before looking deeply in the direction where Wang Family was.
