Huifei looked at him and bit her lower lip in anger.
"This boy was daring here yet again.."
But anyways, she took his hand into hers and he smiled.
Then he bowed slightly before releasing her hand and then took a seat beside her.
"I'm really sorry, I'm late.." Zhang Feng apologised again.
Lingyun on the other hand was watching him keenly. He was definitely trying to flirt with the queen. And he would do anything to stop him.
Huifei cleared her throat and spoke up.
"Well we have no other choice than to sign the contract. You are one of the best companies in the country whom the imperial palace trusts..."
"Thank you your highness.." They chorused.
**
Minutes later.
The meeting came to an end and everybody dispatched home.
"Are you okay your highness?" Lingyun asked and Huifei scoffed.
"Do I look like I'm not okay?" She asked but Lingyun smiled surprising her.
"You! Is something wrong with you?" She snapped at him. Lingyun immediately bowed,
"I'm sorry your highness.."
Huifei rolled her eyes and made to open the door when he held her hands preventing her to open the door and that same weird feeling came again. Her heart started racing.
She immediately hijacked her hands from him.
"I said stop touching me!"
"Your highness.." Another voice called and Huifei sighed.
"Not that pesky brat again.."
Zhang Feng came in front of her and bowed slightly with smiles on his face making him look more handsome.
"What do you want?" She asked him.
"Nothing much. I just came to thank you f.."
"That was not a big deal. It's just simply business.." Huifei interrupted him and Zhang Feng smiled again making her more angry.
"Can you stop smiling please?" She glared at him but it was all useless because he couldn't see her.
"I think you are done talking to her, let's go your highness.." Lingyun said and took Huifei's rught hand again and as he made to leave, Zhang Feng grabbed her other hand.
Qin Huifei's widened immediately while Zhang Feng and Lingyun stared at each other without any emotions written on their faces.
'What's this?!" She yelled and pushed both of them off, they moved back staggering.
"If you guys dare do that again, you will be punished.." She said in a calm tone and made to open the car's door but Zhang Feng's voice stopped her.
"Tommorrow your highness, I will be coming to the imperial palace..." Zhang Feng said and both Huifei and Lingyun heard a loud blast in their head.
"What? Why?!" Lingyun asked, tho it was obvious he was trying to calm himself.
"It's none of your business. I'm talking to her highness here..." Zhang Feng sajd looking at Huifei.
"You wouldn't mind that your highness, would you? And to cut to the chase, it's not for any personal reasons.." He smiled and bowed again and then walked off.
Qin Huifei scoffed as she watched him leave.
"Does he even respect me as his queen?" She asked and then she opened the door and got into the car. Lingyun made to open the door also but she shut it from the inside.
"Lingyun, go find your way home. See you in the palace..." She ignored Lingyun's shocked expression and the car drove off.
Lingyun sighed and ran his hands into his hair.
"It's all that guy's fault..."
**
"What's was that about boss?" Lett who saw the scene earlier asked.
"Do you like the queen?" He suddenly gasped and Zhang Feng smiled.
"I don't but I found somethings about her amusing. She's fun.." He smiled again and rubbed his lower lip with his thumb.
"Huh?" Lett said confused.
Zhang Feng's phone started ringing again and he sighed when he checked the caller.
It was his grandfather.
**
Imperial Palace
Huifei opened the door to her room and walked in before she fell on the bed. She picked up the remote and pressed a button on it which locked the room completely.
Then she removed her veil and released her hair from the band and it fell on her back.
"What was that?"
"That handsome stupid guy? He doesn't even fear me.."
Huifei rolled her eyes and then stood up before walking to the mirror. She stood still there and touched her face.
She closed her eyes and sniffed as the tears came rolling from her eyes.
But Huifei immediately wiped them off.
Then she walked into the dressing room.
**
Wei Lingyun sat in the sofa in the general room, his eyes looking up. He was impatiently waiting for Huifei. He just wants to see her one more time before he leaves and Yeah! He has something to discuss with her.
He stood up and ruffled his hair and then he started walking upstairs. Then he bumped into Qin Min.
Lingyun sighed.
"Hi.." She smiled at him seductively and tried to touch him but he caught her hand and threw it off.
"You should stop this, Min.."
"Why? Why can't you like me? Am I that bad or is it because you like someone else?"
"Min, I..." He couldn't complete his statement when she pressed her lips on his.
Lingyun's eyes widened and he stood still shocked. Huifei walked out rolling up her sleeves and when she looked up, she stopped on her tracks.
Lingyun immediately pushed Min away and then bowed slightly.
"Your highness.."
"Should I be sorry I disturbed your intimate moments.." Huifei's voice came out cold and Lingyun sighed.
"It's.."
"Follow me Lingyn.." Huifei interrupted him and walked off. Lingyun glared at Min who smiled at him.
Then he went after her.
They were out in her personal training. Huifei clenched her fists angrily. The scene from earlier replayed in her head.
She took out a sword and drew it out. Huifei was not to be underestimated in these kinds of things. She was very skilled in martial arts.
"Your highness, what happened earlier.."
"Stop talking.." She interrupted him, wielding her sword.
"But your highness, I didn't mean for it to.."
Huifei turned back in a swift move and placed the sword on his neck.
"Do you really have so sense of respect.." She half yelled at him.
"I'm sorry my queen.."
"Well don't be, I'm tired of hearing you say sorry to me everytime. And I don't care about your personal life.."
Huifei sighed and brought down the sword from his neck.
"Stop getting me angry if you want to keep your job.." She said and turned to leave but she sighed again and turned to him.
"Let's have a combat.."
Lingyun nearly shook his head. She always have a combat with him anytime she's deeply mad and he's always ending getting bruised in the process. He admits he was no match to her.
Huifei immediately grabbed the collar of his shirt but immediately she left it.
"Forget it I'm not the mood.?" She turned and walked away.
"Gosh! Why am I so angry about what happened earlier?" She asked herself.
**
Zhang's Mansion.
Zhang Feng came out of the bathroom, his hair dripping wet and a towel tied on his waist but then he stopped when he remembered her - The queen.
"Qin Huifei.." He smiled and touched his lips as usual and then he chuckled.
Then he remembered the night he saw her face and he shook his head.
"She's very pretty, she has a rare beautiful eyes so then, why's she hiding her face?"
Then he smiled again.
"But she's amazingly fun to be with. I love troubling her.." He said to himself.
"Qin Huifei, I'm sure I'm welcomed to trouble you..' He smiled.
"Boss.." He heard Lett yell and he groaned.
"What does that fool want?.
**
The next day.
Imperial Palace.
Since there was no tasks left for Huifei today. She locked herself up in her room painting.
Painting was the only thing she found joy in. Her phone rang for the umpteenth time and she sighed.
"Don't you get it, Wei Lingyun. I don't wanna talk to you.." She yelled at no one in particular and gritted her teeth angrily. But as the phone continued ringing, she has no other choice than to answer the call.
"What?!" She asked with her usual cold voice.
"My queen, someone's.."
"Hi, your highness. It's Zhang Feng. I told you I will be coming to the imperial palace remember?" Feng's voice boomed from the phone and Huifei Huifei clenched her fists angrily.
"Why does it look like he's threatening her?"
Without any further words, she hung up and stood up.
**
Zhang Feng sat in the general room looking around and whistling while Lingyun just looked at him suspiciously.
"Say what you wanna say and stop glaring at me.."
"What do you want? Why are troubling the queen?" Lingyun asked.
"And why must I answer you?" Feng asked also and Lingyun scoffed.
"You are not her lover or anything, just a personal assistant.." He smirked and Lingyun scoffed.
"The queen is not just anything to me. She's special to me.." Lingyun replied with a glare and Feng cracked.
"Do you like her or you just want to cause trouble?" Lingyun asked further.
Feng smiled and looked the other way before he then looked at him.
"Yes I do, what will you do?" He asked.
"Do you like her also? As a queen or as a woman?" Feng asked and Lingyun scoffed again.
"Hey! I don't know if I should take you seriously or anything..." He laughed.
"I admit, I find her amusing and amazing at the same time. Do I not like her?"
"You should answer the question. Do you like her too?" Feng asked.
"I do and I'm telling you I don't trust you. I know you have ulterior motives.."
"If you try.."
"What are doing here Zhang Feng?" Huifei asked.
Feng immediately stood up and then walked towards her.
"Good morning your highness.." He bowed slightly and she scoffed.
"I asked what brings you here?" Her voice was slightly raised and strict.
Feng smiled and took another step to her, they were now standing close to each other.
He leaned closer to her and her eyes widened immediately. Then he whispered to her.
"You don't need to hide your face from me.."
