"Why the hurry to leave, Your Highness?" Ah Lan blocked his way.
Pei Huaian frowned at her and demanded, "Step aside!"
Ah Lan wrapped her arms around his neck, standing on tiptoes and leaning towards his thin lips.
She had deliberately worn a bright and splendid dress today, her long hair draped over her shoulders, accentuating her charm.
Disgusted, Pei Huaian pushed her away and said sternly, "Please respect yourself."
"Why must Your Highness reject someone from a thousand miles away?" Ah Lan persisted, "Don't you like me?"
Pei Huaian snorted coldly, "What makes you think I like you?"
Ah Lan's face turned deathly pale as she trembled, "But you have clearly shown me care, I know you have Sister Shao in your heart, but I won't compete for anything. I am content to just be by your side."
Pei Huaian rubbed his temples, he truly detested Ah Lan, but it wasn't the time to expose her true face yet.
