31. First Encounter
"Prince Li, do you have some dissatisfaction with this prince's future princess consort?"
The entire second floor fell silent; even the clamor from downstairs seemed incredibly distant. All eyes were transfixed on a youth in brown attire standing a step from Ye Li, firmly gripping Mo Jingli's wrist, which he had extended towards Ye Li. However, no one present, including Mo Jingli, had seen where this youth came from. Mo Jingli shot the youth a furious glare, then swiftly directed his gaze towards the source of the voice. Ye Li did not look at the person obstructing Mo Jingli; the moment that voice sounded, she had turned her attention towards the straight-backed figure at the head of the stairs.
