In a hidden corner Wang Fangyi observed her supposed future husband cuddling with Gu Yuxie.
Although no one beside the party involved and the Wang Family core members knew what happened in the birthday party, Fangyi felt the scene in front of her a bit intolerable.
Even if other didn't know, but he who was there didn't? What does he mean with this? Wasn't he planning to be responsible for her?
She knew that they were planted in Si Yifeng's hand the last time and didn't have a shred of feelings for each other, but things already happened and it's not like they could pretend it didn't.
That was her innocence!!
He obviously wasn't like that in the last life.
The Zhao Song that she remembered was an understanding and gentle man. Before getting the throne he was completely devote to Ming Shu, only later because of her friend's stupidity he was robbed by Gu Yuxie.
Why things are like this now?
Gu Yuxie was only to appear by his side after Zhao Song ascended to the throne, why is she with him now? Was it because Ming Shu was not his fiancée this time?
But she was here! What's so different between her and Ming Shu?
She is god's chosen one! He gave her the chance of rebirth, so why things are like this?
Ming Shu is always in her way. The last time was like that and this time is also!!
Just as jealousy burned inside Wang Fangyi, she heard the voice she wanted to hear the least now.
"Fangyi you are here"
Before she could recovered the hatred in her eyes, Ming Shu appeared in front of her.
The hatred in Her friend's eyes startled Ming Shu. She had never seen such a gaze in Fangyi. But it disappeared so quickly that she wondered if it was just an illusion.
But thinking that Wang Fangyi saw the couple cuddling, she could understand from where this hatred was coming from.
She had already spotted Wang Fangyi a while ago and slightly hesitated to come. But after seeing Fangyi becoming restless she came to prevent the girl from doing anything stupid.
Even if she could understand Fangyi's frustration, she knew that she wouldn't gain anything going there to confront them.
"Hm"
To her former best friend's cold response Ming Shu was helpless, but even so still tried to warn her.
"I know you are angry, but you will only loose if you go there. You can-"
Before she could finish her suggestion Wang Fangyi cut her.
"You still worry about yourself. My business doesn't need you to care"
Wang Fangyi didn't appreciate at all Ming Shu good intentions. She only felt that the party was mocking her with veiled words.
Don't wanting to stay there with Ming Shu, Fangyi turned her back to the scene of the cuddling couple and left without a word.
Looking at Fangyi's back, Ming Shu sighed.
Sometimes even if you want to help someone you should first check if they're willing to accept it, otherwise you do more bad than good.
Letting the frustration about how to deal with her former friend aside, Ming Shu went back to the Princess side to enjoy the rest of the flower viewing.

Si Yifeng clicked his tongue.
His brother was so not cute.
Does it hurt to be a little less intelligent? Well, maybe it does.
Yifeng was really disappointed that their plan didn't went as smooth as he thought.
He knew he should have used that Miss Wang. Just looking how black her face was after coming back from the direction that his uncute brother was, he knew she must have seen something good.
He didn't even met the little girl. Honestly this party was such a waste.
Hearing his subordinate report and reading the letter of the little girl, Yifeng sighed.
'Honestly, that she could still see advantage points in such a mess... it's a pity that her brother doesn't have half of his sister's brain'
Yifeng disdainfully looked at Ming Feng, who reciprocated with a incomprehensible look.
With a mocking sneer to his subordinate, Si Yifeng tapped his fingers on the table.
'Like the little girl said, now would be a bit troublesome for my dear brother to acquire the three powers by gaining the Misses favor. Xiao completely dotes on their First Miss, and now it would absolutely impossible getting both of them together by marriage, since neither them or the Gu family will accept to have their daughter as a concubine. The Wang... they are probably tied to Zhao Song because of that incident until I assume the Crown Prince post. The obvious and biggest disadvantage is...'
"Zhao Song knows we are moving"
The people gathered in the room all look towards Si Yifeng. They comprehended what their prince said, but didn't understand how. It's not that they are arrogant, but each one on this room was absolutely one of their best on their field. To admit that Prince Zhao could know what their movements, is to admit they got wrong somewhere.
"...how?" Ming Feng asked.
"Please, you underestimate that little brother of mine too much. Such an obvious trap with such an obvious helper, if he didn't realize it was me, we wouldn't be constantly worried about him as threat. How could a fool survive so many years in the Palace with a good reputation? My uncute brother..."
Si Yifeng opened a smile that send shivers down on their subordinates spines.
"... will be such a fun opponent"
All the other people in the room chose to become silent and lightened a candle to Prince Zhao in their mind. They almost felt pity for Zhao Song to have incurred their lord's interest.
