As they continued to walk, Xiang Yu spoke about the person he liked, his eyes sparkling with a warmth she had never seen directed at her. Sienna felt jealous hearing him talk about that person like they were the most precious star in the cosmos.
Each word he uttered wrapped around her like a vine, tightening with every compliment. She had always longed for someone to look at her that way, to see her as he saw this mysterious person. This was why she was reluctant to be in an arranged marriage but now she was envious of the person Xiang Yu liked.
"Was it love at first sight?" Sienna asked, her voice barely above a whisper. She knew she shouldn't pry, yet the question slipped out, fueled by curiosity.
Xiang Yu chuckled softly, shaking his head. "No, it wasn't. I called him an ugly bastard when we first met."
