Chapter 1298 35 Mao Mao Love Story
"Are you questioning my decision?" Mao Mao glared at Tian Rong with eyes full of irritation.
He had seen a lot of nobles like this but didn’t think the girl he chose to be Fen Wén’s friend was also like that.
Should he kick her out?
"N-no..." Face turning pale and eyes turned red, Tian Rong almost cried on the spot. "I...I..." She bit her lips hard wanting to say something to her defence but couldn’t do so.
historical
She could only keep her head down and stared down at the ground.
Seeing Tian Rong was in a disadvantage, Fen Wén suddenly felt pity for her. She had a feeling that the girl didn’t mean to look down on her.
Thus, Fen Wén fearfully tugged Mao Mao’s sleeve and whispered, "Master, I think she doesn’t mean to speak like that..."
The girl added, "She’s just surprised that a maidservant can ride on the same carriage as the master..."
Fen Wén’s voice slowly faded as she glanced at Tian Rong. At this point, somehow she realized that Tian Rong’s reaction was actually not wrong.
It was indeed weird for a maidservant to have the same privilege as those high-ranked nobles.
Hearing Fen Wén’s pleaded for Tian Rong, Mao Mao decided to close the case. Coughing slightly, he spoke to Tian Rong, "I’ll forgive you this time but don’t mention it in front of me anymore."
The young man turned around and entered the carriage without looking back at the poor girl.
Being forgiven at the moment of desperate, Tian Rong almost fell to the floor losing all her energy.
She didn’t think Mao Mao was that scary. He’s indeed only a sacred beast but he’s the close companion of that tyrant emperor!
This thought sent a chill down her spine. The girl just stood there rooted to the ground, not wanting to enter the carriage.
Her father told her to get Mao Mao’s heart but looking at the situation, it seemed impossible.
Not to mention...
Tian Rong sneaks a peek to Fen Wén who was standing outside the carriage waiting for her to get in first.
’Lord Mao looks like he has a feeling for her?’ Tian Rong silently thought when Fen Wén suddenly spoke.
"My lady, you should get in first," Fen Wén flashed a smile as she stretched her hand, wanting to assist Tian Rong to climb the carriage.
She was a maidservant so this was one of her jobs.
But a certain person inside the carriage frowned, suddenly felt irritated seeing this.
With a cold voice, Mao Mao spoke, "Let Lady Tian climb by herself. You can do that, right, Lady Tian?" Mao Mao smiled coldly showing his face through the carriage window.
Seeing Mao Mao’s smile, Tian Rong instantly flinched. The girl nodded her head like a hen pecking food and rushed to enter the carriage.
"I can do it by myself, " Tian Rong said to Fen Wén as she went past her.
Indeed, how could a high-ranked dragon climb the carriage by herself? It was just to be polite that others helped the noble girls.
Dumbfounded, Fen Wén silently sighed and slowly entered the carriage.
Once she entered, her eyes caught Mao Mao and Tian Rong figures were sitting across each other. The carriage was quite big, surely fit for 4 people so when only 2 people sat there, it looked spacious.
"Excuse me..." Fen Wén bent her back as she walked toward an empty space next to Tian Rong.
’We are both girls so it’s okay, right?’ Fen Wén thought.
She hasn’t even placed her butt on the seat when Mao Mao suddenly tugged her sleeve, "You sit here." He said as he pulled Fen Wén to his side and immediately made her sit there.
The sudden movement made Fen Wén dizzy but a few seconds later, she could finally calm down.
The girl blinked in confusion before looking at Tian Rong who had a bitter smile on her face.
...eh? What’s going on here?
Fen Wén subconsciously straightened her back. She slowly glanced to her left and saw Mao Mao was looking stern.
Her plan to refuse him and sat next to Tian Rong disappeared in a second.
’Okay, let’s just sit here.’ The girl thought to herself.
Fen Wén held her breath, didn’t know why she was nervous around Mao Mao while on the other hand, Mao Mao himself was relaxing.
Still, because he got someone else in the carriage, he put up the ’prime minister aura’ to look intimidating.
The young man thought that Fen Wén won’t be scared but little did he know, not only Fen Wén but also Tian Rong was scared of him.
The young lady kept glancing at Mao Mao and Fen Wén while feeling like she’s walking on thin ice.
’These two looks like a secret lover so...what am I doing here?’ Tian Rong felt remorseful.
Her father told her to seduce Mao Mao but which idiot won’t know that the young man had a feeling for this maidservant??
Tian Rong bit her lips hard, conflicted. She didn’t think she would have a chance but.
If his majesty was the one bestowing the engagement maybe Mao Mao couldn’t refuse?
The thought made Tian Rong felt like the bad guy here. She looked at the awkward couple across her and couldn’t help but sigh.
Her father would surely beg his majesty for the engagement and as her family status was high...there’s a big chance she would be engaged to Mao Mao.
If that happened...what to do? She would break a loving couple’s happiness...
That can’t do!
