Ye Guhan's face darkened instantly.
Princess Ling Meng's chilly demeanor cracked, her breath hitching in utter disbelief.
Jun Mo Xie, on the other hand, simply sighed, placing a hand over his heart in mock sorrow.
"Ah, but I must warn you, dear princess… I have long since moved past the days of naïve infatuation." He shook his head dramatically before adding, "If you had come sooner, perhaps my heart would have still belonged to you. But alas… the passage of time is cruel. My heart has since wandered elsewhere."
A deep silence followed.
Ye Guhan's grip on his sword tightened, and his sharp gaze bore into Jun Mo Xie as if he were moments away from drawing his blade.
Princess Ling Meng snapped back to reality, her cold facade shattering into one of sheer irritation.
"You—!"
Jun Mo Xie chuckled lightly, watching her with an expression full of mischief. "What? Have I hit a nerve?"
Princess Ling Meng inhaled sharply, forcing herself to calm down.
'This shameless scoundrel!'
Why had she even expected a proper conversation from him in the first place?!
Ye Gu Han's voice, filled with killing intent, sounded, "Bold! You dare utter such nonsense! Really presumptuous!"
"Shut your mouth!" Jun Mo Xie said coldly, his eyes glaring at the middle-aged man. "Can't you see I'm talking with her and not you!"
To Jun Moxie, except for Ye Guhan's love for Murong Xiu Xiu, there was not much impression of him. His beloved woman was snatched from him, but he accepted it so easily. Despite knowing what happened to his family, he accepted it and then used his remaining life to care for the same man's daughter who took away his love.
Pathetic!
He was an insult to the term 'Man'.
If someone had even glanced at the woman he loves and done such a thing to her, Jason would have started a blood bath and killed that person nine generations in cold blood, turning the world upside down.
Jun Mo Xie respected his feelings but not him as a person.
Ye Gu Han almost burst into flames of fury after listening to him.
"Uncle Ye, please calm down." Princess Ling Meng hurriedly coaxed.
Princess Ling Ming took two steps forward and asked Jun Mo Xie, "Jun Mo Xie, please follow me over to the side. I have something important to tell you."
Ye Gu Han closely followed behind her like a shadow, not leaving for even a moment.
"You wait here first. The princess and I have important matters to discuss." Jun Mo Xie explained while looking at his bodyguards with a serious face.
"Yes, young master,"
"Jun Mo Xie, I have a warning for you." Princess Ling Ming's charming figure finally came to a stop. She knitted her brows, apparently organizing her thoughts as she seemed to have a bit of difficulty broaching this subject.
"Royal Princess, please speak frankly. I'm all ears." Jun Mu Xie's back had moved against the wall as he gazed at Princess Ling Ming.
A truly sloppy, frivolous, indecent, and despicable appearance.
Ye Gu Han could not stand looking at him like this, the spitting image of a street bum, and snorted before turning away.
Jun Mo Xie ignored him and focused on other things.
"Jun Mo Xie, Lady Dugu is my closest and best friend, and so…" Princess Ling Ming paused and bit her lips, feeling a little embarrassed. But the thought that Dugu Xiao Yi's lifelong happiness was currently in the hands of this frivolous debauchee in front of her, she gained her resolve and blurted out in one breath. "…And so, I don't want you to harass Xiao Yi again in the future…too much flirting, you…understand what I mean?"
"Jun Mo Xie does not understand." Jun Mo Xie narrowed his eyes and shook his head. "This lowly debauchee does not have your royal princess's profound knowledge. Forgive this one's ignorance, and I hope your royal princess will speak as clearly and directly as possible?"
"Jun Mo Xie! There's no point in acting stupid. Do you really not understand what I'm saying?!" Princess Ling Ming frowned and felt annoyed in her heart. "It doesn't matter if you don't get it, but you are not good enough for Xiao Yi. All I want today is for you to promise never to bother Xiao Yi again so as not to invite trouble!"
"Hahaha...!" Jun Mo Xie laughed out once before narrowing his eyes and asking, "Isn't your royal princess stepping out of line? What are you? Her mother?!"
Then, with an 'Oh' sound, he faked an understanding look before a strange smile emerged. "So you were jealous! Wahaha!"
"You!" Princess Ling Ming's delicate frame suddenly trembled in anger, and her lips were quivering uncontrollably.
"Hah, you don't know who is harassing whom here, and you still have the face to come here to give me a warning. Fuck you! Wait until you have properly investigated the truth before you start mouthing off, understand? A princess of a kingdom does not even understand such simple logic! No wonder other people say you have big boobs but no brain, even though your chest is small!"
Jun Mo Xie's anger exploded. 'How dare a little girl who has not even seen the world have the audacity to show arrogance in front of him... I do not give a fuck about your background. Just because I am silent, you are taking me for a pushover. Do the way I, your father, handle business need the input of a little girl like you? Whatever I do, who gave you the right to interfere with my life!'
Princess Ling Ming exhaled deeply and glared at him with two bone-chilling eyes. "Jun Mo Xie, if you remain so stubborn, do not blame me when I inform this matter to Great General Dugu Wu Di. You should know better than I what will happen at that time. Even Grandpa Jun may not be able to protect you. It will not be pretty for anyone!"
"You are scaring me! I'm so afraid!" Jun Mo Xie faked a scared expression.
"Just go ahead and complain then. Tell Old Man Dugu to keep her spoiled and bratty dear granddaughter away from me? Hehe... I think you should also ask your father to send more people to protect you, too, or who knows I may... you know."
"Good! Very Good! Jun Mo Xie! Words are like the wind, so you'd better not regret it when the time comes!" Princess Ling Ming's tender figure trembled with anger, and her charming face paled.
Jun Mo Xie stood in front of her and stared into her eyes before saying word by word. "Neither you're my mother nor my wife... My business is my business. None of your fucking business! So, don't ever dare to stick your nose in my love life!"
Princess Ling Ming's lungs were about to burst with rage, her two beautiful eyes in a death stare, and her chest was violently heaving up and down. He almost made her vomit blood. Not saying another word, she turned around and left.
Walking away, she ferociously stamped her little feet angrily.
