Beneficial Union: Chasing A Rogue Wife

Chapter 69: I am too ugly now

The insult was obviously for Wei Jiayi, and Gao Shen felt like doing a kowtow to the prince for her daughter's insult! Who knew what he would do to her or to the entire Gao family?! 

"Mei'er!" Gao Qi called out at Gao Lan Mei's taunting remarks to Wei Jiayi. That also included the fact that she made the visitor wait for so long, moving closer to his daughter to whisper, "His Highness Prince Wei has been waiting for so long, you must apologize!"

Adding to that, he also disapproved of Gao Lan Mei's lack of respect to Wei Jiayi. The man saved her life! Shaking his head, and decided to talk to her about it later.

Gao Lan Mei arrived, wearing a white robe. Her face was still covered with a veil of the same color as her robe. Her untied waist-long hair swayed every time she took a step.

She was being followed by two masked guards, or protectors of the Gao Family. Wei Jiayi also noticed that there were more guards in the Gao Family today than his recent visit.

Gao Lan Mei frowned disapprovingly, then glance at the Wei Jiayi, "Prince Wei?" she blurted out loud enough for him to hear.

Smirking, "As a matter of fact, yes." Wei Jiayi felt delighted at her unhappy expression, "Answering to your question about the mask, it's none-of-your-business." Voice laced with mockery.

Then adding''How about you? What's with the veil?" If Gao Qi was not with them, he might have added, 'You did not wear that before when you were rejected by the second prince, multiple times.'

Touching the white face veil, with an action attempting to remove it, "Well, I am too ugly now, I hate to ruin your day. But if you insist" Her eyes glinting with mischief. This prince is known to like beautiful things. Even his own palace is adorned with elegance.

"Tsk. Do not waste more of my time!" he just decided to blurt out instead. This woman really liked to make fun of him.

Every time he saw Gao Lan Mei, he got annoyed. He was on the verge of deliberately strangling her or just cutting her tongue.

She was just injured a couple of days ago, so what she's saying could be true. That he did not want to see!

The guards with Wei Jiayi were astonished that there was someone who could speak to him this way. That too, without any fear!

Chuckling, "Of course. I am sorry." Seeing him annoyed made her day. She could not defeat him with physical strength, but that does not mean she would cower before him.

Then bringing her attention to Gao Qi, "Father, I have a deal with His Highness, I would need your help to open our storage house, so we can offer an appropriate exchange for the herb he has now."

Gao Qi nodded, feeling bad that Gao Lan Mei did not mention this agreement to him beforehand. What kind of herb required him to open the storage house?

"Follow me." He said, eyeing the exquisite wooden chest that one of Wei Jiayi guards carried. The chest looked heavy, but the guard effortlessly carried it.

Gao Lan Mei followed Gao Qi, who's leading the way. She really hoped that the purple rose herb would like something in the Gao storage house. If not, she would just have Feng Ji release all spoils and borrowed items stored.

This made her brows wrinkled. She did not like the idea of Wei Jiayi seeing all her treasures.

"Hey!" Gao Lan Mei surprised exclaimed. Then glared at Wei Jiayi furiously. She could feel the numbing pain of her scalp after her hair was pulled! Touching her scalp to make there was at least hair left on it.

"Your hair is annoying! It's blocking my view! Move to the back!" Wei Jiayi said indignantly.
