Chapter 410: 410 not afraid of being cheated Chapter 410: 410 not afraid of being cheated Let’s not even mention the other issues, and set those aside for now, speaking of being with someone as dangerous as Sikong Mo was something she dared not even contemplate.

Yet, looking at Sikong Mo’s confident expression and considering she had indeed nodded last night, coupled with the presence of Prince Jing, it truly was not a good time to discuss this matter.

Therefore, Ye Jiu could only make silent gestures to Sikong Mo, not daring to utter another word, fearing to embarrass Sikong Mo in front of Prince Jing.

Prince Jing turned his head, just in time to catch Ye Jiu’s constipated appearance, and immediately let out a laugh, “To think of settling down for life, Ye Jiu and you, what a joke. Are you perhaps putting on a one-man show, forcing the girl to nod her head again?”

With that, Prince Jing looked at Ye Jiu and asked, “Little girl, tell me, am I right?

Don’t be afraid of certain people, we are at the feet of the Emperor, no matter who it is, coercing a civilian girl is against the law, and I will not overlook such matters.”

Originally, Prince Jing had been extremely grateful to Sikong Mo for rescuing him from Nanchang. However, because of this lad, he had been reprimanded in the Imperial Palace again and again yesterday. While he remembered the favor, he also held a grudge.

Everyone knew Sikong Mo had come to the capital because of grain and fodder matters, and Prince Jing certainly would not sabotage him when it came to such significant issues, but other, smaller matters were a different story.

Like this matter with the girl before him, for example.

With that thought, Prince Jing’s face showed a hint of a wicked smile.

What Prince Jing did not know was that Sikong Mo was waiting for these very words from him.

Because this allowed him to not fear being rejected and to forthrightly ask Ye Jiu, “Did I coerce you?”

“No…,” Ye Jiu immediately shook her head.

But upon further reflection, something didn’t seem quite right.

While he hadn’t coerced her, he had undoubtedly tempted her.

Otherwise, she wouldn’t have nodded while her mind was so blurred.

Honestly, up until now, Ye Jiu couldn’t figure out what Sikong Mo found appealing about her.

It appeared that besides possessing the Dimensional Space advantage, she didn’t really have any other commendable qualities.

If there was anything special about her, it was that everyone rumored Sikong Mo to detest women to the bone. However, while she wasn’t exactly a woman, she was a girl, but it seemed she had always received preferential treatment in front of Sikong Mo.

Ye Jiu’s thoughts were still in disarray when she heard Prince Jing’s roaring voice, “Young girl, you’re still so young to be learning how to pledge yourself privately to someone! Aren’t you afraid of being deceived? At such a tender age, if your parents knew, how heartbroken would they be?”

Prince Jing only knew that the moment Sikong Mo asked the question and Ye Jiu nodded, a strong urge to give Sikong Mo a thrashing surged within him.

Afterwards, realizing he was no match, he dismissed the idea.

“It’s not that, I…” Ye Jiu began to explain, but then she noticed Sikong Mo looking at her with a glimpse of pain flashing in his eyes.

In an instant, the words Ye Jiu was about to say just wouldn’t come out.

Latter on she thought, she really was just asking for trouble.

Her own matters, why should she endlessly explain to others?

“Didn’t we say we were going to eat? How did we end up so off-topic? Let’s hurry up and go eat,” Ye Jiu deliberately changed the subject and then asked Sikong Mo, “Would you, Master Sikong, care to join us?”

“Might as well.” Sikong Mo truly didn’t understand the concept of being polite.
