Yun Jinnian watched Qu Mianke as she took his hand, as her insincere laughter echoed, and as the light of jealousy gradually tainted her eyes.
"Hmm, it really is fate!" He responded indifferently.
He showed little emotion.
Qu Mianke was a Commandery Princess, and so was he.
Qu Mianke's title of Commandery Princess came through her mother, while his was earned through his own efforts.
He had no need to flatter or fawn over Qu Mianke.
A detached coolness was best maintained until the end.
Qu Mianke leaned on Yun Jinnian with a smile, but her smile was tainted with jealousy.
Yun Jinnian's hand was so soft, as if boneless, the skin was silky smooth, slicker than fine silk, touching it felt like the highest quality Hetian Warm Jade, irresistibly delightful to the touch.
His brother often said, beauty lies in the bones, and the Yun Jinnian in front of her was one whose beauty shone from within, surpassing all others in appearance.
It made her jealous and it made her anxious.
