How did Ye Ning get in here?
How could she be with... the royal family?
And, what’s the story behind the child she’s leading by the hand?
Ai Jia just saw her father approaching. He gave a warm smile towards Gu Minzhi, stating, "Co, Minzhi, let’s go greet him."
Ai Jia followed him across the room.
And that’s when she first noticed the woman leading her little brother around.
Ye Ning was dressed in a black dress, trailing all the way to the ground. As she moved around, the dress unfolded in elegant petals around her, giving glimpses of her long pale legs from the slit at the side. Her thighs were breathtakingly white, each step a feast for the eyes.
Her hair was swept up, revealing her neck as fair and slender as her legs.
Her eyes were like a peaceful deer when still, but sparkled like a playful cat when moving, blending nonchalance with a hint of mischievousness. When her gaze landed on Ai Jia, Ai Jia felt a wave of discomfort.
Ai Jia had always disliked won who were more flamboyant than herself, especially this beautiful woman right before her eyes. The woman was like a provocative rose whose beauty could make other won jealous.
And here she was, standing behind her, holding hands with her own little brother.
Ai Jia strode over, "Father, who is this...?"
Ai Nianhe imdiately stepped up, his smile brimming with kindness, "Oh, this is Miss Ye Ning who I just t outside."
In response, Ai Jia rely outstretched her hand, "Miss Ye Ning, we’ve never t before. Hello, I’m Ai Jia."
The third princess of the royal family, Ye Ning, responded with an understanding smile.
Then...
"Ye Ning."
Mu Yeli, who was at the back, noticed Ye Ning was there and imdiately strode over.
Ai Jia, who just shook hands with Ye Ning, froze at the touch of her hand, noticing its baby-like tenderness. She eyed the woman before her.
This woman, who looked intriguingly stunning...
Was this Ye Ning?
The very sa Ye Ning that Gu Minzhi had just ntioned?
Ye Ning said, "Mu Yeli, you’ve finally arrived."
Ai Jia couldn’t help but let go of Ye Ning’s hand, as Mu Yeli ca and stood beside Ye Ning. Mu Yeli looked at Ai Nianhe in surprise, "How did you two...?"
Ai Nianhe returned the surprise, looking at the two of them bewildered, "Oh, so you two...?"
To this, Mu Yeli pulled Ye Ning towards him, allowing her to stand by his side. "I certainly didn’t expect our eting to be this way. This is my wife, Ye Ning."
"Ah?" Ai Nianhe responded in disbelief.
This was none other than the young mistress of the Mu family.
He just thought that she looked very refreshing, nothing like the solemnity that typically marked the young ladies of noble families.
She appeared to be such a refreshing young girl.
The more he looked at her, the more he liked her. With a smile, he said to Mu Yeli, "I must say, I didn’t expect this at all. But it’s good, very good."
He proceeded to look Ye Ning over, his smile slimming into a grin.
At this point, those around them were genuinely surprised.
"Is that Ye Ning?"
"Why would Ye Ning co out with the royal family?"
"It must be because of Mu Yeli’s influence."
"Who’s that child she’s leading?"
"Oh my, seems like the royal family’s little prince."
"Impossible, why would the prince, a child the royal family treasures so much, be led around by her? Ordinary folks can’t even et him, let alone see him. He hasn’t left ho since he was five."
"Yeah, nobody has ever seen his face. Today, we are... we are so lucky."
