Mu Chenshuang was stunned for a few seconds, then came to her senses, gave a slight curtsy, and nodded, saying, "Greetings, Crown Prince Junheng."
Fu Junheng lowered his gaze and looked at Feng Yunqi, "Princess Weiyang and I have already made an agreement, so I'm afraid I cannot accept the invitation from the Prince of Cheng."
These words startled Mu Chenshuang. Wasn't Fu Junheng's statement meant to make people speculate about their relationship?
He should know the truth in his heart, but he still insists on saying such misleading things. What is he really thinking?
Feng Yunqi frowned slightly upon hearing Fu Junheng's words.
Fu Junheng rarely went out after arriving in Tianzhao Kingdom. Even if powerful figures wanted to curry favor with him, he would refuse to see them.
However, at the Emperor's birthday banquet, Fu Junheng protected Mu Chenshuang in front of everyone. What exactly is the relationship between the two? Only the Emperor probably knows. However, there are quite a few rumors circulating about the two of them.
The most common explanation is that Mu Chenshuang fell in love with Fu Junheng, which is why she insisted on divorcing the Crown Prince.
However, Fu Junheng and Feng Ji are inseparable, and Feng Ji even stepped in to help them that day, so the relationship between the three of them is really intriguing.
"I see. I wonder how much of Princess Weiyang's time Crown Prince Junheng will take up. There is a banquet at the manor the day after tomorrow, a rare opportunity, so I hope Princess Weiyang can do me the honor."
Feng Yunqi's words clearly indicated that he wanted Mu Chenshuang to attend the banquet.
Before Fu Junheng could speak, Mu Chenshuang replied, "In that case, I will attend the banquet if I have time."
Feng Yunqi had already said so much, and coupled with Fu Junheng's sudden and misleading remarks, if she insisted on refusing, wouldn't that only fuel further speculation about her relationship with him?
Moreover, going to the Prince of Cheng's mansion would at most be a bit boring, dealing with a bunch of women, but if there were any connections that could be used, that would be good too.
After Mu Chenshuang agreed, Fu Junheng glanced at her sideways, his eyes filled with an unfathomable darkness.
Feng Yunqi smiled and said, "Alright, then we'll welcome Princess Weiyang back then."
After saying that, he laughed a few times and said, "I have important matters to report to my father, so I won't disturb you two any longer. Farewell."
Feng Yunqi strode away.
Mu Chenshuang glanced at Fu Junheng with a faint look in her eyes, "Crown Prince Junheng's words just now were too easy to misunderstand. I think it's best if as few people as possible know about our relationship, so as to avoid unnecessary misunderstandings."
As soon as he finished speaking, Fu Junheng's deep, husky voice was heard: "What is the relationship between me and Princess Weiyang?"
This question startled Mu Chenshuang, who suddenly looked up at the man. His eyes were hidden behind a black veil, making it impossible to discern his emotions, but being stared at like that made her inexplicably panic.
"Crown Prince Junheng knows perfectly well why he asked that question." It's just a matter of helping each other out.
Fu Junheng's thin lips curved into an ambiguous smile, a smile that made Mu Chenshuang's nerves tighten involuntarily.
Suddenly, the man bent down and moved closer.
Mu Chenshuang's pupils dilated as she stared at the suddenly enlarged handsome face before her. The man's aura instantly enveloped her, causing her to catch her breath and her heart to skip a beat.
All she heard was a man's deep, alluring voice slowly ringing in her ears, "What relationship could I possibly have with Princess Weiyang?"
Mu Chenshuang blinked and suddenly came to her senses, hurriedly taking a few steps back, anxiously trying to create a dangerous distance between herself and Fu Junheng.
But in her haste, she accidentally stepped on the hem of her skirt. The friction between the skirt and the ground caused her to lose her balance and fall backward. Just as Mu Chenshuang was about to grab the railing, a strong force suddenly came from her waist.
With a forceful pull, Fu Junheng pulled her into a broad and strong embrace. A unique scent flowed into her nostrils, filling her brain and causing her heart to race uncontrollably.
Before she could react, a man's magnetic voice came from above her head, "Why is Princess Weiyang so nervous? I haven't done anything."
The explanation sounded serious, yet it carried a hint of frivolity.
Mu Chenshuang snapped out of her daze, pushed Fu Junheng away, took a deep breath to calm herself down, frowned and stared at Fu Junheng, saying seriously, "I'm not hard of hearing. Crown Prince Junheng, there's no need for you to get so close. Besides, Crown Prince Junheng shouldn't have done this to me."
She is increasingly suspicious that this man may or may not be gay.
Fu Junheng smiled faintly, a smile that was more beautiful than the sunset. He was a cold and aloof man who never smiled.
Mu Chenshuang lowered her eyes slightly, clenched her fingers, and avoided looking directly at him, trying to calm herself down. She couldn't let this man inexplicably seduce her.
These few encounters with him have left her feeling extremely unsettled, which is not the state of mind she needs right now.
And every little expression in her eyes was captured by the man.
"Princess Weiyang has misunderstood. I did not mean anything by it."
Such a relaxed tone.
Mu Chenshuang felt very uncomfortable listening to this, as if she were the one who was being presumptuous, when it was clearly him who had acted frivolously.
I thought he really had a cool and aloof persona, a true gentleman, but suddenly I realize it was all an illusion.
"Since there's no other meaning, it's best if Crown Prince Junheng keeps his distance when he speaks to me in the future."
His tone carried a hint of annoyance.
"I have other matters to attend to, so I will not disturb Crown Prince Junheng any longer. Farewell."
