"Damn!"
Zhao Yi cursed silently in his heart.
Without turning his head, he knew the person coming from behind was Su Qianqian!
Except for the clueless female protagonist, no one would dare call out a Prince's name like that in the street.
The laws of the Great Xia Dynasty were strict.
Offending superiors and disrespecting royalty were capital offenses!
Zhao Yi felt a wave of exhaustion.
The male and female leads were haunting him like ghosts!
He had deliberately kept his distance from these two to clear up any relationship.
Yet, these two still clung to him persistently like ghosts!
Zhao Yi said nothing, but the face of the Second Prince, Zhao Mian, darkened first.
He stopped his steps and looked at Zhao Yi.
The old emperor had gone mad and hadn't attended court recently, so Zhao Yi's annulment letter was not approved.
According to the law, Su Qianqian was still Zhao Yi's fiancée.
Zhao Mian needed Zhao Yi's consent to deal with Su Qianqian; otherwise, it would be disrespectful to him!
Zhao Yi waved his hand, indicating that he could handle this matter himself.
Zhao Mian nodded and went to greet the other guests.
The female lead briskly walked a few steps and stood in front of Zhao Yi.
Today, she wore a light green water sleeve dress, with a golden hairpin in her hair. Her delicate face had no makeup, making her look youthful and charming.
The female lead was considerably shorter than Zhao Yi, so she had to look up at him.
She wore a sour face, as if Zhao Yi owed her money.
She stretched out her hand to Zhao Yi, full of impatience, and said coldly, "Hand it over!"
Zhao Yi was taken aback and asked, "What?"
"The sword!" the female lead said impatiently.
"You deliberately had someone go to my house to break off the engagement, wasn't that to get my attention?"
"Now you've achieved your purpose!"
"Go apologize to my father, say that the engagement-breaking was a joke, and I'll accept the sword!"
Zhao Yi was genuinely stunned this time.
He understood the individual words she said, but when put together, he couldn't comprehend them.
The sword she mentioned likely referred to the Golden Dragon Sword.
But Zhao Yi clearly remembered saying before that the sword was a gift for Qing Feng.
What was she reaching for?
Moreover, her tone was so impatient!
Acting as if accepting the precious sword was some great injustice!
The most ridiculous part was that she actually wanted Zhao Yi to apologize to Su Changyuan.
Zhao Yi didn't know what to say anymore.
Was this woman genuinely stupid or just pretending?
If Zhao Yi went to apologize to Su Changyuan, he might scare him to death!
Besides.
Who said the engagement break was a joke?
Zhao Yi pushed away the hand the female protagonist had extended and frowned. "Are you done?"
The female lead was stunned: "What do you mean?"
Zhao Yi calmly said, "The annulment is final and cannot be changed!"
The female lead's expression changed.
Zhao Yi continued, "For the sake of our past acquaintance, I won't hold you accountable for your offense this time. If it happens again, both offenses will be punished without mercy!"
Finally, the female lead understood.
She widened her eyes at Zhao Yi, her face full of disbelief, as if she couldn't believe those words came from his lips!
She looked deeply at Zhao Yi, then suddenly let out a cold laugh.
"Playing hard to get, are we? You said it yourself; don't come begging me later!!"
Zhao Yi had never been more speechless in his life.
He had only heard of typical overconfident men before, but he didn't expect to meet such a woman today.
So exasperating!
The female protagonist was unaware of Zhao Yi's inner thoughts.
She walked straight towards Zhao Mian.
The female lead said, "Your Highness the Second Prince, I've heard today is your birthday. I've come to offer my best wishes; I hope you welcome this?"
Zhao Mian heard this, glanced at Zhao Yi, and seeing his nonchalant demeanor, smiled and said, "Miss Su is thoughtful, of course, this Prince welcomes you!"
The female lead heard Zhao Mian address her as "Miss Su" instead of "sister-in-law." Normally, she would be overjoyed.
But today, for some reason, she felt uneasy.
She didn't think long about it and nodded to Zhao Mian before turning towards the Second Prince's Mansion.
When passing Zhao Yi, she let out a cold snort, not even glancing at him!
Seeing the female protagonist ignoring him, Zhao Yi, far from being angry, felt relieved as if he'd gotten rid of a scourge.
He felt wonderful!
The book Zhao Yi awoke in was a male-centered harem narrative, with the female protagonist being just one of his many women, and she didn't have much screen time.
Besides annoying Zhao Yi daily, the female lead's remaining storylines were all about fawning over the male lead.
The things Zhao Yi wanted were on the male lead's plotline.
With the female lead settled, Zhao Yi could focus on dealing with the male lead!
Zhao Yi paid no mind to the female protagonist, but Huang Ying's face was very unpleasant.
The humiliation of the lord means death to the servant!
The female lead's words to Zhao Yi just now had touched Huang Ying's raw nerve.
She stared icily at the female protagonist's back.
If it wasn't for the wrong time and place, the female protagonist would've been a corpse by now!
Zhao Yi, in high spirits, patted Huang Ying's shoulder and said with a smile, "It's alright, don't scowl, getting angry with someone like that isn't worth it."
After the female lead left, Zhao Yi greeted Zhao Mian and, with a relaxed expression, entered through the door with Huang Ying.
As soon as he stepped inside, Zhao Yi immediately sensed someone staring at him.
Following the gaze, Zhao Yi couldn't help but curse again.
"Damn!"
The person staring at him was none other than the male lead he hadn't seen for a few days.
The male lead was still dressed in a moon-white Buddhist robe.
He stood under a peach tree, the blossoms in full bloom, the pink petals falling on the white robe, making him look gentle and refined, stirring the hearts of the surrounding young maidens.
The male lead ignored the admiring gazes of those girls, his eyes fixed intently on Zhao Yi.
He was just about to step forward to approach Zhao Yi when a girl in a green dress suddenly blocked his path.
The female protagonist stubbornly held her head high, tears in her eyes as she looked at the male lead. Her delicate face was full of grievance, resembling a woman wronged by a faithless lover.
The male lead was momentarily stunned at the sight of her, then felt his scalp tingling!
"Damn!"
At that moment, the male lead actually empathized with Zhao Yi!
Seeing the female lead, he felt nothing but annoyance, silently chanting "Amitabha!" in his heart.
The female protagonist didn't notice the male lead's impatience.
She reached out to grab the male lead's sleeve, his expression shifted as he recalled the humiliating scene at the Four Seas Restaurant last time, instinctively stepping back to avoid her emotional grab!
The female protagonist paused, her face even more filled with resentment. Tears welled in her eyes, yet they skillfully refrained from falling.
The male lead shivered slightly.
Zhao Yi could hardly contain his laughter!
In the original story, the two leads secretly flirted, revealing their relationship only at the finale.
Zhao Yi acted like a fool, manipulated by these two.
Now that Zhao Yi had awakened, he exposed this disreputable pair to the world right at the beginning of the story. It's about time they tasted public scorn!
"Amitabha!"
Though young, the male lead had a core of toughness.
Seeing everyone around him casting peculiar glances in his direction, he knew that if he did not sever ties with Su Qianqian today, his position as Buddha's Son would be in jeopardy!
As this thought crossed his mind, determination flashed in his eyes!
This woman had repeatedly sabotaged his plans, did she really think he was easy to bully?
"Amitabha!"
The male lead pressed his hands together, looking seriously at Su Qianqian, and said in a deep voice, "Benefactor, I am a monk. Please have self-respect!"
Bang!
A crowd had gathered to watch the commotion.
As soon as the male lead said this, the place erupted, with everyone casting weird glances at the female lead... and Zhao Yi!
Zhao Yi's eyelid twitched.
Damn!
How is this any of my business?
The disreputable pair, they should just stick together and stop harming others!
"Brother Fajing..."
The female lead hadn't expected Fajing to be so heartless. The tears she'd held back now flowed, making her look pitiable amidst her tears.
The male lead's face turned livid.
Zhao Yi laughed aloud till his voice quacked like a duck!
