Chapter 24 - CHAPTER TWENTY FOUR: You are wise indeed.

And at that moment, Prince Ju Zihan let out a low but audible laughter. Chow Yi Nuo turned her head  to find out if it was Prince Ju Zihan who had reacted in that manner. But the laughter did not last long, soon, he regained his indifferent look. But Crown Prince Jun Yuanchao was thoroughly annoyed. How could Zhong Kexin have turned him down so bluntly. Crown Prince Jun Yuanchao could have done nothing to Prince Ju Zihan , who had just mocked him, despite feeling humiliated.

So, he pointed his index finger towards Chow Yi Nuo and uttered a few incoherent words... before giving up. Zhong Ah Lam, on the other hand, could not stand it. She asked in a disdainful yet pretentiously innocent tone. "Dear little sister, are you playing hard to get?"

Displaying a pitiful look, she continued, "But the engagement is already annuled, so what can you will do even if it's crying out loud like a baby will not work anymore." Crown Prince Jun Yuanchao and Zhong Guiying liked what Zhong Ah Lam and both felt less annoyed.

Seeing that, Zhong Caihong played along as well. "True, a repulsive ugly duckling like her wants to behave coyly! Where the hell did she pick up that useless skill from? The Crown Prince will not recall the letter even if you use such a ploy. Keep on dreaming that endless dream of yours!"

Chow Yi Nuo scoffed, 'Playing hard to get?" She asked herself as she laughed out loudly like a mad person. The scumbag was not worth her wasting her precious time just to come up with useless tricks.

Chow Yi Nuo looked at Zhong Ah Lam with a lopsided smile and said, "Elder sister Caihong, you are wise indeed. You were immediately able to figure out that I was playing hard to get with Crown Prince Jun Yuanchao. You must also have used such tricks before, right? Because a farmer cannot teach a potter his work unless both of them are farmers or potters. That is why you recognised my trick by the first glance, am I right?"

The words that had just been uttered by Chow Yi Nuo made Zhong Ah Lam's face turn pale and colourless as the vibrant smile on her face slowly faded away. Both Crown Prince Jun Yuanchao and Prince Ju Zihan were present. Moreover, Prince Ju Zihan was a noble and respected entity. How dare that wretched Zhong Kexin talk to her like that in front of Prince Ju Zihan and Crown Prince Jun Yuanchao. How would she have been able to maintain her good image of a poised lady in the near future? She regretted not letting her die in the well that day when she had jumped in.

"You!" Zhong Ah Lam pointed her finely jewelled index finger towards Chow Yi Nuo and was about to scold her when Prince Ju Zihan stood up and said with slight impatience evident in his voice. "Since the Crown Prince had already completed the annulment process, I am going to take my leave now. I have other important things to deal with. Bye."Having said the words, Prince Ju Zihan got up and not allowing anyone to get close to him, exited the room. Guards dressed in black clothes with masks on their faces and sheathed swords in their hands ready to fight off any danger that would have faced their Prince followed him, others while the others in the room bent down respectfully to see him off.
