“I want it too!”
“Give it to me!”
As one person took the lead, the others followed suit, clamoring around Jiang Ning as if they wanted to devour her.
Considering it wasn’t her possession anyway, Jiang Ning casually handed the flower ball to the nearest noblewoman without even thinking.
She was extremely generous.
Prince of Yu hadn’t gone far when he heard the noisy commotion and looked back to see this scene-
He was slightly taken aback, and a hint of coldness flashed through his beautiful eyes as he said, “Do you all think I’m dead? The flower ball I threw isn’t valid?”
The noblewomen seemed to wake up from a dream, hurriedly retreating and kneeling down, their faces flushed with embarrassment.
It was really not appropriate for them to compete like this in front of Her Highness the Empress and the princes.
Shameful indeed.
The Empress frowned slightly: “You are all daughters of noble families. What a sight.”
“We have made a mistake, please punish us, Your Highness.”
“Never mind, return the flower ball to Jiang Seventh Miss, take your reward, and go back to your homes.” The Empress appeared kind and didn’t mind the young girls’ behavior.
The noblewoman who had seized the flower ball reluctantly handed it back to Jiang Ning.
The Princess Consort stood up and said, “How boring.”
She gave a slight bow to the Empress and turned to leave.
She seemed to have no concern about her son choosing a disabled woman as his princess consort, as if she was only here to go through the motions. She didn’t even communicate with her son throughout.
Prince of Yu was the same, he didn’t seem to care who he chose, it was like he was only here to complete a task.
True to the mother and son.
Now Jiang Ning finally understood the situation.
It turned out that the exquisitely crafted rose-colored flower ball in her hand was a betrothal gift from the Prince of Yu to his future princess consort.
What did that mean?
Had the Prince of Yu given the flower ball to her?
With such beautiful eyes, it seemed that his aim when throwing was rather poor.
Jiang Ning wheeled herself to the Prince of Yu and stretched out her hand, “Next time, aim better. It’s only because I’m kind-hearted that I return it to you. Otherwise, you’d be marrying a disabled person, and where would you go to cry?”
Prince of Yu:
Was this woman insane or what?
Returning the coveted betrothal gift that others were scrambling for?
The Prince of Yu didn’t move, coldly saying, “Then you’ll just have to wait and see if I cry.”
He didn’t want to look at her again, especially not her wheelchair, and left with a flourish of his sleeve.
Jiang Ning watched his retreating back and finally understood his words.
He wasn’t planning to take it back.
Was he planning to let the mistake slide?
Could the Fifth Prince be so careless with such a major event in his life?
Jiang Ning couldn’t understand this man’s thought process.
But thinking about her own stomach, Jiang Ning shuddered and quickly followed, “Your Highness, Your Highness… wait a minute.”
Prince of Yu frowned, his eyes flashing impatience, “What now?”
“I can’t accept this, Your Highness should take the betrothal gift back.” Jiang Ning raised her hand.
“If you can’t accept it, why did you come to the selection? You already have the flower ball, there’s no need to play coy with me.” The Prince of Yu said mockingly.
“I was forced.”
“Coincidentally, so was I.”
“So, Your Highness, is this a ‘no one but me’ situation?”
“You’re right. I’ll marry you for that face. Whosoever has that face, I’ll marry. Take the flower ball home and wait. If you dare give it to someone else, I’ll make sure you regret it.” The Prince of Yu coldly whispered before turning and walking away.
Jiang Ning touched her cheek.
An alluring beauty indeed.
Look at how dazed and confused the Prince of Yu was, not even caring whether she was disabled or not.
But what was the point of his harsh words?
Who would really regret it if he truly married her!
Jiang Ning looked at the retreating figure of the Prince of Yu, feeling that he was emanating a green light all over his body..
