Chapter 151: Chapter 139: My Sister Finally Remembers Me (3)

The two of them didn’t know how far they had run and now they found themselves in a town.

Fu Xuan said he was tired and needed a rest, but the Princess felt a little worried. They had managed to escape their pursuers with great difficulty; lingering here might lead to their discovery.

Before she could voice her concern, Fu Xuan seemed to read her worry. He smiled and said, “No need to worry, Your Highness. They won’t find us here.”

Seeing that the Princess was still uneasy, Fu Xuan asked, “Aren’t you hungry, Your Highness?”

It was only then that the Princess realized her stomach was empty. Her nerves had been so tense that she hadn’t noticed, but with Fu Xuan’s mention, her hunger surged over her.

Feeling a bit embarrassed, she whispered, “Then let’s have a meal first.”

“Your Highness, in this remote place, there’s no such thing as ’having a meal’ like in the Imperial Palace. You should say ’eat food’ instead.”

The Princess felt a bit embarrassed by his words but merely glared at Fu Xuan haughtily and said, “How dare you! How dare you meddle in my affairs!”

Fu Xuan maintained his carefree attitude, “Sure, sure. So, shall we have that meal, Your Highness?”

“Hmph, granted.”

The Princess was unfamiliar with the area, but Fu Xuan seemed to know his way around. He led the way, and the Princess followed by his side.

Along the way, the Princess stole a glance at Fu Xuan. Although this man wasn’t as handsomely striking as Wen Ranchen, he was still good-looking.

His mischievous smile made even his thick eyebrows ripple with amusement. His fair skin accentuated his lightly pink lips, and his chiseled features were complemented by the dazzling silver earring on his left ear.

In Yunyi Country, it wasn’t uncommon for men to wear earrings, but the Princess had never seen anyone wear them with the style that Fu Xuan had, like a masterpiece coming alive with a finishing touch.

Ah, yes, the Princess remembered the phrase, the finishing touch.

“Why is Your Highness staring at Fu Xuan? Is Fu Xuan good-looking?”

When caught red-handed, the Princess instinctively wanted to look away. However, her pride wouldn’t let her lose face in front of this man, so she continued to stare at Fu Xuan, despite her embarrassment. “I can look at whatever I want. How dare a mere Commandery Prince like you criticize me?”

“How could Fu Xuan dare? I merely care about the Princess. Whatever the Princess wishes to see, Fu Xuan will gladly show her.”

His words were full of implications, which brought a flush to the Princess’s cheeks. She had been pampered all her life, except for the times Wen Ranchen had left her speechless. No other man had ever treated her this way. She was not one to suffer losses, so she immediately countered, “Fu Xuan, is it? You mentioned wanting a woman earlier. Tell me, what kind of woman do you desire?”

Fu Xuan turned around, his expression shifting from playful to serious, making the Princess feel a sudden panic.

“Does Your Highness truly wish to know?”

The Princess felt suffocated by Fu Xuan’s imposing presence but held her ground, “What? Am I not allowed to know?”

Fu Xuan chuckled softly. He leaned closer to the Princess’s ear, his warm breath making her shiver, “There’s only one woman I desire.”

“Your Highness.”

The Princess was waiting for more but saw Fu Xuan had already pulled away and continued walking ahead. It was then she realized what had occurred, her face turning crimson.

She was no stranger to men expressing their interest in her, but somehow, Fu Xuan felt different.

Her heart raced, so fast she nearly forgot about Wen Ranchen.

Ah, Wen Ranchen.

The Princess remembered her beloved and finally regained a moment of calm.

This calm was disrupted once again while she sat across from Fu Xuan at the meal.

“Your Highness, try this.”

Fu Xuan picked up a piece of chicken with chopsticks and placed it in the Princess’s bowl, his eyes bright as he looked at her.

Under his gaze, the Princess felt somewhat constrained.

Fu Xuan watched as the Princess, under his gaze, showed a slightly shy expression, and his eyes gradually cooled.

The Demon Princess wasn’t too bright, it truly wasn’t her.

How boring.

Fu Xuan lost interest in teasing the Princess further and focused on eating.

But he had only taken a couple of bites when a voice filled with curiosity interrupted him.

“Fu Xuan? What’s going on here?” The gentle voice, despite being a question, carried no panic.

The corners of Fu Xuan’s mouth, which he had just lowered, immediately lifted again. He picked up some vegetables and placed them in Shen Jingxian’s bowl, “Your Highness doesn’t like chicken? Then try some duck.”

Shen Jingxian looked at Fu Xuan’s provoking smile and the partially eaten rice in her bowl, feeling a headache coming on, “You little rascal, what are you up to now?”

Upon hearing this address, Fu Xuan’s eyes immediately brightened, though his words were laced with blame, “Sister finally remembers me. You were so cold to me that day, Fu Xuan thought you’d forgotten about me.”
