Free Web NovelChapter 1989: Chapter 479: Heaven Will Not Tolerate a Malicious Curse
The young girl smiled gently and gracefully, exuding unparalleled elegance in every expression.
A brilliant glow sparked in Lemp’s eyes, and he raised an eyebrow with a smile: "Oh, after all this conversation, I’m afraid the Princess still doesn’t know our names. I am Lemp, my father Edward." He concluded with a hand over his chest, a most gentlemanly greeting.
Xi Lin stared blankly at Lorde’s cold visage.
Lemp jolted her, Xi Lin snapped back to reality and smiled: "I am Xi Lin, my father Heize, Princess Shengxi, I’ve long admired your fame." She reached out her hand toward Yun Ya as she finished speaking.
In fact, when this woman glanced at Lorde just now, Yun Ya had already deduced her identity; Miss Xi Lin, who pines for Lorde yet cannot have him. Not long ago, she and Lorde missed her birthday banquet. After Gan Wei’er spread the word, who knows how Miss Xi Lin resents her for taking away the man she loves?
Yun Ya smiled softly and extended her hand, gently grasping hers.
The girl’s hand was cool as jade, soft and smooth, with a palm as delicate as a newborn’s skin, never having been calloused.
The slight coolness that came from her palm made Yun Ya’s heart sink suddenly. She glanced at the girl’s tranquil and gentle smile without a trace, then slowly withdrew her hand.
"Naturally, I have long admired the name of Miss Xi Lin."
Xi Lin narrowed her eyes slightly, a coldness swiftly flickered in her gaze; the words seemed like praise but were actually sarcasm.
"I must congratulate Young Master Lorde and the Princess on their upcoming engagement, I will be sure to come for a glass of celebratory wine." Lemp said, his large hand gripping Xi Lin’s waist, drawing her into his embrace. Xi Lin bit her teeth secretly, resisting the urge to push him away.
Lorde’s hand landed on Yun Ya’s shoulder as he escorted her away with large strides, leaving no glance behind, as if those two were less than roadside wildflowers and weeds in his eyes.
Watching them walk afar, Xi Lin stared blankly at Lorde’s back.
"Stop looking, they’ve gone far away." Lemp sneered coldly, pushing Xi Lin against the wall, holding her chin with one hand. Despite her violent struggle, he lowered his head and fiercely captured her lips.
Xi Lin bit onto his lower lip, prompting Lemp to recoil in pain, casting a cold gaze over her.
"Does it hurt seeing the man you love with another woman?"
Xi Lin slapped him across the face, and exclaimed coldly: "Bastard."
The man rubbed his face, his gaze growing colder, his mouth curled wickedly, "Weren’t you quite vocal in bed? Keep screaming for me. You’re just a whore, putting on an innocent act before me."
Xi Lin’s heart seized, she glared at him coldly, then suddenly laughed, leaning lazily against the wall with arms crossed, "Did you see that Princess earlier? For a Lemp who always loves a good chase, such a beauty can’t be easily overlooked."
Lemp curled his lips, "Are you threatening me?"
"No, I’m making a deal with you. You want the Princess, and I, I just want Lorde."
Lemp squinted his eyes, casting her a deep glance and curled his lips playfully: "Oh? A deal?"
"It’s a fair exchange, we each take what we need."

"Earlier, my apologies." In the returning car, Lorde spoke softly.
Yun Ya paused, then smiled, "What wrong have you committed?"
Lorde furrowed his brow slightly, "I didn’t expect to encounter those two."
"You also mentioned it was an accident, so there’s no need to blame yourself. Do you think I would be upset because of Xi Lin’s presence?"
Yun Ya raised her eyebrows slightly.
Lorde pursed his lips, feeling as if these words slapped him hard on the face; she simply didn’t care, making his unsolicited explanation seem laughable.
Yun Ya gazed out the window, lamenting this man’s lack of emotional intelligence.
Thinking of Xi Lin, this woman is alluringly seductive, her gaze hidden yet intense, a woman of deep cunning. Her gaze toward Lorde showed undiminished affection, it seems this woman won’t let go easily. She hopes nothing unexpected occurs on that day.
Also, Lemp, his gaze makes her very uncomfortable, like a sticky venomous snake.
In silence, the car drove into the castle.
Yun Ya stepped out of the car, greeted by Butler Ziyu with a smiling face.
Lorde stayed seated inside the car, lowering the window to wave goodbye to Yun Ya.
"Young Master Lorde, take care."
Butler Ziyu saw Lorde off, then approached Yun Ya while smiling, tentatively asking: "Princess, did you enjoy your evening?"
"It was alright, I’m tired, I’ll head upstairs to rest." She turned and walked into the castle.
Hongxin and four bodyguards then entered, Hongxin approached Butler Ziyu and reported every detail of what happened in the theater, making Butler Ziyu glance upstairs with a smile.
