At that moment, it felt time had stopped as they both stared at each other.
Zhang Feng was more than shocked. He just couldn't believe it. He saw her face and she was just ..gosh"
The queen was extremely pretty. He was still stricken by her beauty when Qin Huifei stood up from him glaring at him as hard as she could.
And that was when Zhang feng snapped out of his reverie.
Huifei glared at him angrily as he stood.
"You got your wish right? To see my face?!" Her voice came out harsh and cold.
Zhang Feng only smiled and Qin Huifei scoffed.
"You are very extremely pretty, so I wonder why you are hiding your face.."
"That's none of your business but do you know you can imprisoned for what you've done. You just committed a crime. You followed me!" She said calmly but the tone of her voice clearly shows that she's very angry.
"I'm sorry. I just came to satisfy my curiosity.." Zhang Feng smiled.
"Quit smiling. You should be trembling right now!" She almost yelled at him.
All of a sudden, she did what he didn't expect.
She kicked him hard and he almost lost his balance but the pain was still lingering.
"How is her leg so strong?" He thought. Shd then grabbed him by the collar of his suit.
Then she tried to flip him over but he was quick to notice her movements and dodged it.
"I'm also skilled in martial arts, my queen. If we start this now, it would be a tie.." He muttered and Huifei clenched her fists.
Huifei said nothing. She was not threatened by his words but then she just needed some space.
She released him gently and then wore her veil while he continued staring at her. He was still awed by her unique beauty.
"Get out!" She stated calmly yet dangerously.
"Get out now!" She repeated hardly.
Zhang feng smiled and bowed at her. He started walking away but then he turned to face her.
"Don't worry, your secret's safe with him. You must have a valid reason for hiding it from the world. I'm sorry if I intruded your privacy.." He said and bowed again leaving Huifei more infuriated.
She clenched her fists as she watched him walk away but strangely, she was not concerned about him seeing her face. What was making her infuriated was the audacity he got. He had the audacity to ask her for a dance, then follow her around. And then he had the audacity to tell her that he would keep her secret.
Huifei sighed again and she then took the second exit which would lead her directly to her room.
**
Zhang Feng walked to his car smiling. He couldn't believe it at all. It was funny because he didn't expect to achieve his mission that way. He saw the queen's face. He saw her damn face!
Well, she was very pretty and that makes him wonder why she's hiding her face.
"Boss.." Lett's voice came behind him and he turned to face him.
"I've been waiting for you for almost three hours now. Why didn't you let me go in with you?" He asked and Zhang Feng grinned.
Lett looked at him surprised.
"Boss, what's wrong with you and why is your face so red?" He asked and touched Shang Feng's face. Zhang Feng immediately came to his senses and moved backwards.
"Nothing.." He quickly said.
"You are blushing!"
"Tell me, did you meet any lady at the party?' Lett asked and Zhang Feng sighed.
"You are crazy.." He said and then opened the car's door before hopping in.
Lett smiled and shook his head.

IMPERIAL PALACE.
QIN HUIFEI'S ROOM.
Huifei sat down staring at the mirror and then she touched her face.
"Aaargh!" She groaned and took a pillow squeezing her face into it. Then she looked up and arranged her now scattered hair properly.
"How dare that foolish brat? How dare his see my face?" She said in gritted teeth.
"I should punish him for that!" She breathed out heavily and holds her hand.
"What if he spills it out?" She said again.
For the first time in her life, she's afraid. She was really afraid of what Zhang Feng might do.
Her phone started ringing and she sighed. It was Lingyun. She answered the call and put it on speaker.
"Yes.." She said in her usual cold voice.
"Your highness, I just wanted to ask if you are okay?" Lingyun said and Huifei's heart melted hearing that.
"I'm fine.." She responded immediately.
"But your highness, did that weird handsome guy follow you. I didn't see him immediately you left?" Lingyun asked.
Huifei clenched her fists remembering Shang Femg. She was sure it was him that Lingyun was talking about.
"No.." She reply and a moment of silence passed through them.
"Your highness.."
"If you don't have anything to say…"
"Take care and sleep well. Good night.." He said and Huifei immediately hung up.
"What was that?" She asked herself.
The next day.
Huifei rounded up her dressing by wearing her veil firmly. Thrn she picked her phone and was about to walk out when Old Nana came in with a tray of food.
"Dear, aren't you going to eat?" She asked and Huifei sighed.
"I'm not hungry Nana.."
"I need to get to a business conference. I will eat when I come back.." Huifei said and then bowed slightly before walking out.
As soon as she walked downstairs. Sje met Lingyun waiting for her.
"Good morning, My queen.." He said and bowed. Huifei nodded.
"What's my schedule?" She asked.
"A conference meeting first with Zhang group of companies…" He said and Huifei's eyes widened.
"What?" She looked at him.
"Your highness, do you have any problem with that?" He asked,
"Let's go.." She said and they walked towards the imperial parking lot.
They got to her car and Lingyun opened the car's door for her. She was about to hop in when she heard someone call her name.
Huifei turned and she scoffed when she saw it was Qin Min.
Qin Min walked towards her, smiling. She was looking very hot with the heavy makeup she wore.
"Oh i see, You are fulfilling your queenly duties.." Qin Min smirked.
"You should go get something doing, even if it's a duty.." Huifei said.
"I'm a princess so I deserve to leave freely the way I want.." Min answered and Huifei nodded.
"Lingyn…" She called.
"Yes, your highness.."
"Inform the head of the imperial cook to let Qin Min supervise the cooking of the imperial palace. A princess shouldn't be idle.."
"Yes, your highness.." Lingyun said and Qin Min gasped.
"Hui…"
"Ssh it. If I were you, I'll begin my duty now.." Huifei said and entered the car.
Qin Min stood and watched how the car drove off in front of her.
"Huifei, you witch.." She yelled and clenched her fists angrily.
**
They got to the conference centre and Huifei walked in.
As soon as she walked in, everyone rose to their feet and bowed.
"Welcome your highness.." They chorused.
Huifei nodded and then sat down.
"Can we proceed?" She said.
Then they started whispering.
One of them stood up and bowed slightly.
"We are sorry your highness but our…"
"I'm sorry that I'm late.." A voice said and everyone looked at his direction.
Zhang Feng walked in lfooki more handsome with his killer smile.
Huifei scoffed and looked away.
"Good morning your highness…" He said and bowed.
"Nice to meet you again.." He said and then stretched his hand for an handshake.
