Cao Haoran instantly regretted the words he uttered as he pursed his lips. What had happened to him out of the blue? He had never been this indecisive ever in his life!
If he had made a decision, he would never change even if he died! But ever since this 'man' bumped into him accidentally for stealing his stuff, he had been time and time again breaking through his own words. God knows what kind of spell this guy had put on him.
Cao Haoran feared if he stayed any closer to this person, he might end up doing something extremely strange. He didn't even want to think of what kind of strange situation would be created if he continued to dwell on this topic.
Thus, he stopped thinking and hurried away as if he were running away from someone powerful than him.
Li Mei felt that this person was really weird. Although he was extremely handsome and made her feel as if her heart was on fire every time she sneaked a glance at his enchanting face, especially when the corners of his lips would be curved up….
Ugh, why did she have to think of him again?
Li Mei patted her blushing cheeks as she scolded herself.
She was never such a person! Why did she have to think of someone romantically?! Didn't she have her own troubles to deal with? She didn't have time for romance, especially when she knew what the other party would definitely do after realizing her identity for sure, throwing her out and worse, killing her.
Of course, not that Li Mei was afraid to get killed either way. She had been living a dead life for a long, long time. She didn't even remember the last time she had felt her heart thumping and warming up in someone's presence.
Except for that little fat kid….
Her entire aura cooled down in an instant the moment that person came into her mind. That damned Haohao! That's why she hated getting emotionally attached to someone. They always left!
She took a deep breath and walked after the third prince step by step, slowly taking a stroll as if she were relaxed and weren't captured to forcibly bring to the third prince's estate.
By the time she made it to the third prince's mansion, the man had disappeared off somewhere, leaving only a few servants to serve her. She casually sat on the ground and took a sip of the tea that the servant offered to her.
When sipping the tea, she looked so elegant and 'handsome' that all the servants around the place stopped and stared at her with a hint of awe. The ladies were especially enamored by her handsomeness, so much that they could only watch the 'man' with their gaping mouths and widened eyes.
"Who is this person?" A servant whispered.
"Who knows?" another servant clicked her tongue and said, "The master's face didn't look right upon ordering us. So this man can be someone who wanted to climb onto our master's bed just because His Majesty sent him?"
"Shhh! Lower your voice!" The first servant scolded the man and said, "I bet he will be kicked out right when the master sees this guy the second time."
"Tch." Other servant clicked her tongue and shook her head. "Such a pity. He's so handsome."
As they were discussing, Cao Haoran walked out only to see an ethereal scene of the young man he had brought to his house sipping tea in an elegant manner, on the ground looking like some heavenly being who descended just to enlighten everyone and especially alluring Cao Haoran, hitting his heart with multiple arrows at the same time.
In a sense, this young man looked no different from a cupid. No, to be more accurate, this young man looked more like he was a combination of millions and millions of cupids, hitting one arrow after another in his heart.
Cao Haoran couldn't take his eyes off the young man as he continued to stare. His heart thumped in his chest as a trace of blush spread on his cheeks when he realized what he was doing.
Just what the f*ck was he standing here staring at another man?! He needed to find a woman to hook up soon! He strongly felt like he was so close to accepting his own emotions that went spiraling in his heart like a tornado, destroying his peace so much that he couldn't help but stand there and stare at the young man despite his desire to move his eyes away.
Of course, how could Li Mei not know that she was bluntly stared at by that damned third prince? She felt her heart thumping in her chest as she tried her best to look cold and neutral, sipping the tea again and again to calm herself down.
Too bad, the more he stared, the warmer she felt in her heart, and the more she blushed. Finally, she was done as she put the cup down forcibly as she stood up and said, "I'll be out, waiting for the room to be ready."
After saying that, she hurried away as if she were running away, a little elegantly.
Since she was a master of running away and hiding, she had to use so many disguises to hide into the crowds. Thus, she found it not difficult to actually step forward and walk elegantly despite what her heart felt.
As she walked out, she finally let out a sigh of relief and continued walking down the road, toward the garden in the west.
Cao Haoran finally returned to his senses as he blinked and looked at the place where the young man was sitting. His entire face turned black as he huffed and turned around, escaping from that room at once as if the more he stared, the darker his face would become.
The entire group of servants were dumbfounded upon seeing this scene. They had never expected their master to react this way at all!
They only had one thought in their minds: their master finally bent for someone and this place could blossom with the flags of marriage in the future.
All these years, they had never seen their master even sparing a single glance at another woman or man. Despite hearing the rumors outside, they knew in their hearts that their master's heart was cold as ever.
But now they actually say Cao Haoran staring at another man like that….
The servant at the front giggled and said, "I think we will have our Madam soon!"
