Every girl has a fairy tale dream like Cinderella inside their heart. Hoping one day, a prince will appear, kneel in front of her and will help her wear glass shoes that symbolized love and happiness.
Lin Chujiu was no exception, she also has such a dream.
However, the man who will kneel in front of her doesn't need to be a prince. She only needs a man who will love her and willing to help her wear shoes, it's just… …
This dream, after she came out of the orphanage, has already shattered.
The cruel reality not only removed her right to dream but also made her lost her interest to dream. She no longer expects a prince will appear and help her wear glass shoes, but… …
When she already had given up this dream, Xiao Tianyao fulfilled this fantasy.
Xiao Tianyao, kneel in front of her and fulfilled everyone woman's dream about a prince.
Except for not loving her, Xiao Tianyao was far better than the prince in the fairy tale. He was a powerful, excellent and strong prince born in the royal family. But, he was kneeling in front of her and helping her wear shoes.
There was no trace of reluctance, nor embarrassment on his face. He was as if, only giving a glass of water.
Lin Chujiu looked down at Xiao Tianyao, her mouth slightly opened, but she couldn't speak.
Her heart was sour and swollen, she doesn't know what to say or do.
For a long time, Xiao Tianyao didn't see Lin Chujiu lift her foot, so he directly grabbed her calf and 'help' her lift it up.
"Ah… …" Lin Chujiu was caught off guard and fell backward. Fortunately, Xiao Tianyao reacted quickly and stretched out his arm to hold her hand. Lin Chujiu was pulled back and her hand fell on Xiao Tianyao's shoulder.
"How come you suddenly became so stupid." Xiao Tianyao loosened his grip to Lin Chujiu's hand, as he said with a foul voice.
"I… …" Lin Chujiu doesn't know how she will explain, so she only bowed down her head and didn't speak.
Lin Chujiu lifted up her foot, Xiao Tianyao put it on for her clumsily. Seeing Xiao Tianyao took a long time, and she was in a bit of pain. Lin Chujiu knew that it was absolutely his first time to put shoes on someone else.
It was an undeniable fact, so Lin Chujiu was a bit touched inside her heart. Of course only a bit… …
After he finished putting shoes, Xiao Tianyao's forehead was full of sweat.
For him, it was more tiring to put shoes to a woman, than killing his enemies.
"Lift up your other foot." Xiao Tianyao said with a bad taste in his voice.
He swears that there will absolutely no next time after this, it was too troublesome.
"Mmm." This time, Lin Chujiu cooperated a lot, her lips also slightly curved up, showing that she was in a good mood.
Putting on the second shoes, Xiao Tianyao now has experience, so this time, he put it on a bit faster, and at least, didn't hurt Lin Chujiu's feet.
When the shoes were put on well, Lin Chujiu immediately withdrew her hand and stepped back to stand firm. Then, she softly said: "Thank you."
Xiao Tianyao stood up and looked at Lin Chujiu. Seeing Lin Chujiu's eyes with a smile and her cheeks were blushing. Xiao Tianyao's eyes flashed with a trace of satisfaction, and no longer say anything.
After turning around, Xiao Tianyao also put on his shoes and opened the door of the carriage.
The guardsmen and the maidservants now felt relieved. However, at the same time, Nannuo Yao and Ji Fengyu's carriage also arrived. Their carriage park not far from the Xiao Wangfu's carriage.
When the guardsmen saw this scene, their face was full of black lines. They want to come forward and ask: Wangye, Wangfei, what have you been doing all this time inside the carriage?
The eggs were hatched, but they haven't come down yet. Now, the guests had arrived, but they haven't entered and prepared yet, it was too rude.
Xiao Tianyao completely ignored the resentment in his guardsmen's eyes, he helped Lin Chujiu get off the carriage.
Coincidentally, the two just got off the carriage, when Nannuo Yao and Ji Fengyu's carriage stopped near them.
The two didn't expect that they would see Xiao Tianyao and Lin Chujiu at the gate. It was quite a bit surprised. Nannuo Yao and Ji Fengyu didn't think of a big picture in this scene, they both took the initiative to come down their carriage.
Ji Fengyu looked at the two and didn't found anything unusual. He said half-jokingly and half-heartedly: "It looks like we come too early."
"Mmm." Xiao Tianyao released Lin Chujiu's hand and nodded his head. People couldn't tell if it was a greeting or answer to Ji Feng's words. In other words, Ji Fengyu was stunned by Xiao Tianyao's answer. For a long time, he doesn't know what to say.
Women and men's focus of attention have always been different. When Nannuo Yao walked close, her eyes immediately fell on Lin Chujiu. Seeing Lin Chujiu's cheeks were red and her eyes were a bit misty, Nannuo Yao's eyes flashed with jealousy: "Xiao Wangye and Xiao Wangfei seem to get off the carriage only one step earlier than me. Did something happen? Did you get in trouble?"
Nannuo Yao was fortunate to hear her fifth brother's conversation. And it happened that he appeared in the East, so she was able to speak these words.
"Why does it matter to you?" Xiao Tianyao swept his cold eyes to Nannuo Yao. And regardless of her identity, Xiao Tianyao just walked pass by her, he didn't put her in his eyes.
Nannuo Yao was shocked, her eyes redden in dismay. She seemed felt so wronged with Xiao Tianyao's words.
Lin Chujiu bowed her head and smiled, then stepped forward gracefully. "Prince Ji Fengyu, Princess Nannuo Yao. Wangye has always been like this, please don't take it to heart. Please, this way… …"
"Hmph…" Nannuo Yao coldly snorted. Xiao Tianyao was absent. She doesn't need to hide her dislike to Lin Chujiu anymore, so she said: "Whatever, how dare an arrogant person like you, act like a hostess in front of me."
After that, she quickly walked in, she completely ignored Lin Chujiu as a hostess.
If it was someone else, that person will feel very embarrassed, but Lin Chujiu did not. She didn't show any care. Her facial expression didn't change, as if she didn't hear Nannuo Yao's words at all.
Ji Fengyu secretly praised Lin Chujiu inside his heart. He also didn't take Nannuo Yao's words seriously, he only said: "This prince is aware of Xiao Wangye's temperament, and this prince appreciate him very well, there is no need to take it to heart. Xiao Wangfei, you go first… …"
Ji Fengyu gently smiled, his eyes looked very sincere. As if his words were true. Lin Chujiu secretly reminded herself that she shouldn't offend Ji Fengyu.
At the palace banquet, she learned that this western prince was not just a simple figure. Nannuo Yao grabbed the limelight by causing trouble, but he just talked and laughed with the others. The young masters and misses mocked Nannuo Yao, but he just calmly deal with it. With such a character, it can be seen that he's a natural politician.
The two walked in one after the other, but they just arrived in the main hall when a servant reported: "Wangfei, the crown prince and the others arrived."
Lin Chujiu's footsteps stopped, then said with apologetic tone: "Prince Ji Fengyu, please sit for a while, I will go out to welcome the crown prince and the others."
"I will go with Wangfei." Ji Fengyu came to the East with the purpose of getting support. If the east emperor will not mind, he would like to be friends with everyone. But of course, if it will be impossible, he wouldn't take it to heart.
Lin Chujiu didn't refuse, so the two of them return to the gate once again. On the other side, Nannuo Yao chased after Xiao Tianyao, but she found out that she was lost. She couldn't find Xiao Tianyao's figure at all, nor find the way back to the front yard… …
