Wei Jue heard that Mei Wanying had nearly fainted from anger. He also received word that her party had stopped their journey midway, and Miss Mei hadn't left her quarters for a long time.
It seemed she was truly furious.
'It makes sense, though,' he thought. 'Prince Chen used to ignore Miss Mei, and he even forced her to choose a suitor.'
'Now, out of nowhere, he's showering her with attention. It'd be a miracle if she reacted well.'
'As the saying goes: when someone is unusually attentive, they're either a villain or a thief!'
'Miss Mei must think Prince Chen is toying with her.'
'It's a good thing she hasn't cursed him out already.'
'If they weren't separated by thousands of miles, Prince Chen might have even gotten a slap in the face.'
'Miss Mei is a formidable woman—she's the type who even dares to slap the Crown Prince.'
'If you truly provoke her, she's capable of anything.'
