Chapter 231 - Taking Pleasure In Someone’s Pain
After Yan Qingfeng’s performance, the crowd applauded again. This time, even the crown prince, Huai Prince and Xuan Prince clapped their hands.
Taking her chances, Yan Qingfeng took a glance at Xiao Jiuyuan who was leaning on the chair not far away. Unfortunately, Xiao Jiuyuan looked annoyed and angry, his handsome face filled with impatience. There was not a hint of pleasure on his face as Yan Qingfeng ended her performance.
Yan Qingfeng’s heart sank. Feeling the coldness emanating from his expression, she almost wanted to cry.
However, with her status as the eldest young miss of the Yan Bei family, she could only exit the stage with a proud look on her face.
Yan Qingfeng thought that she had hidden her feelings well and that no one had seen her glancing at Xiao Jiuyuan.
But little did she know that Yun Qianyu had noticed Yan Qingfeng’s actions. When Yan Qingfeng was sitting with her, she had already noticed that there was something odd about her. She didn’t think much about it at that time, but this time she really noticed something about Yan Qingfeng.
‘Does she like Xiao Jiuyuan?’
Unable to believe this, Yun Qianyu didn’t expect that someone would fancy Xiao Jiuyuan, who spat poisonous words and had a vicious heart. ‘What does Yan Qingfeng see in this man?’
Thinking about this, Yun Qianyu looked up toward Xiao Jiuyuan who was not far away. Unexpectedly, when she looked up, she saw that Xiao Jiuyuan was staring at her with a darkened face. He glared at her as if she had done something immoral and heinous.
Blinking her eyes and taken aback, Yun Qianyu thought seriously what she had done to earn this?
She thought about it carefully, and finally confirmed that she had not done anything to provoke this man. Therefore, Xiao Jiuyuan’s anger was none of her business.
With that thought, Yun Qianyu looked away from Xiao Jiuyuan and acted as if nothing was wrong.
Seeing that Yun Qianyu had once again ignored him, Xiao Jiuyuan became even more furious. As if flames were burning in his eyes, Xiao Jiuyuan wanted to throw countless sharp blades straight toward Yun Qianyu. Unfortunately, Yun Qianyu did not pay attention to his anger.
Obviously, Yun Qianyu was not interested in whatever shenanigans Xiao Jiuyuan was brewing. Maybe it was because of last night’s events that had caused his bad mood?
Thinking about what had happened last night, Yun Qianyu felt a sense of pleasure. It was arguably the best feeling when it came to beating someone you hate. Especially when the person she got to beat up was Xiao Jiuyuan. Her only regret was that she didn’t give him two more punches to the gut when she had the chance. In the future, if she had the chance again, she would definitely get in more punches.
As Yun Qianyu was still enjoying her daydream, the drum in the middle of the courtyard stopped, and the red flowers fell into her hand.
Suddenly, everyone in the courtyard let out gasps of shock, which startled Yun Qianyu. She came to her senses and saw that she was holding a bouquet of red flowers in her hand. All the ladies were also looking at her with a hint of sneer on their faces.
Although Yun Qianyu was the eldest young miss of the Yun family, she had not been brought up properly with care and education. That was why all the ladies were expecting Yun Qianyu to make a fool of herself.
Since the emperor had appointed Yun Qianyu to marry Xiao Jiuyuan, all the ladies in the city had become jealous. That was why they were consciously rooting for Yun Qianyu to fail.
This was also the reason why Chiang Yuxi agreed with Yun Qianxue and Lu Waner’s proposal to play this game.
