Chapter 4: Fiery Girl vs. Iceberg Man (1)

Hua Ling was stunned the moment she stepped inside. Oh no! There were two men in the room; which one was Mu Yelei? The people inside seemed startled by the sudden intrusion and jerked their heads up to look at her. One of them instantly stiffened, his expression turning cold as he stared at her.

When her gaze met his, Hua Ling couldn't help but shudder. A figure in green robes with a handsome, expressionless face suddenly slammed into her vision. He had a tall, straight, pole-like physique, healthy wheat-colored skin, chiseled brows, a high-bridged nose, thin but tightly pressed lips, and pitch-black eyes that occasionally flashed with a dark green hue. He carried an air of cold detachment, like a hermit hiding in the bustling city.

The moment Hua Ling saw him, she felt inexplicably certain that he was Mu Yelei. That icy aura transmitted through the air, making her feel very uncomfortable.

The other man was peerlessly handsome, with facial features as distinct as if they had been carved. His angular face was exceptionally beautiful. He appeared unrestrained and unconventional on the surface, but the sharp glint that inadvertently flashed in his eyes made one dare not underestimate him. His thick, jet-black hair was pulled up high by a gold crown. Beneath his sword-like brows were a pair of slender peach-blossom eyes, filled with such affection that one could easily fall into them if not careful. His high-bridged nose and perfectly shaped red lips were currently curved into a dazzling smile.

Men with peach-blossom eyes were bound to be promiscuous, so Hua Ling ignored him directly. She turned her head to look at Mu Yelei, her face full of fearlessness, secretly telling herself not to be afraid. They were just a bunch of ancient people, right? What was there to be afraid of?

"Why aren't you staying in your Yinlü Pavilion? What are you doing here? Is this a place you should be?" The cold, heartless voice made the air seem to solidify.

Jin Junxi thought to himself that they clearly knew each other, but why was Mu Yelei’s attitude so icy? And the girl was a great beauty, too! As he thought this, he looked up at the man opposite him, only to see those flirtatious peach-blossom eyes flashing with a strange light, staring fixedly at Hua Ling. He didn't need to guess to know what the man was planning. Jin Junxi slowly walked to his side and whispered, "This one is a thorny character, not to be trifled with. I’ve already been rebuffed by her."

"Is that so? Then I’m even more interested." A playful smile appeared on the man’s chiseled face. Ordinary women were a dime a dozen, but one with such personality was rare.

Hua Ling naturally didn't pay attention to what Jin Junxi was saying to the other man. When she heard Mu Yelei’s words, she nearly choked on her own breath. She couldn't help but feel sorry for Xia Ziying—how could she have married such a thing!

"Not a place I should be? Then what kind of place should I be in?" Hua Ling slowly walked up to him and said with an innocent expression, her face beaming with a silly smile, just like a lovesick fool.

Seeing Hua Ling’s expression and hearing the dialogue between the two, Jin Junxi couldn't help but feel that something was wrong. He couldn't resist asking, "Yelei, who is she?"

It would have been better if he hadn't asked. At the question, Mu Yelei’s expression turned even uglier, as if a thick layer of eternal ice had settled over it. The entire room seemed to enter winter, the temperature dropping sharply.

"Why aren't you speaking? Why don't you tell them who I am? I think they are very curious to know my identity. If you can't bring yourself to say it, then I’ll say it for you." Hua Ling lifted her small chin, looking as if she wanted to stir up trouble, a mocking smile on her face. She thought to herself, *Who are you trying to scare with that iceberg face? Damn it, I’m a genius beauty from the twenty-first century; if I’m afraid of you, I’ll change my last name!*
