Chapter 672, Step by Step, Heart-Stopping
Not to mention that Yinzhen was already getting jealous, on the other hand, Yinsi hurriedly got up and frantically straightened his slightly disheveled clothes. Then he raised his head and looked directly at the uninvited guest who had appeared without warning and interrupted their good time.
To Yinzhi's utter astonishment, this person was actually...
Ninth Brother, Ninth Sister-in-law, what a coincidence! So you're here for horseback riding too? The Eighth Prince, who was usually known for his gentle nature, was unusually flustered at this moment. His face showed an extremely rare loss of composure and embarrassment. One can imagine that anyone would feel utterly humiliated if their younger brother and sister-in-law caught them in such an embarrassing situation, especially since the Eighth Prince had been trying to repair his relationship with Yinzhen all along.
"Well, sorry to bother you. We'll take our leave now. Please make yourselves at home!" Yin Tang didn't even want to call this man "brother" anymore. Yin Si's behavior was simply too despicable. If a dignified Eighth Prince wanted a palace maid, he could have just asked the Emperor openly. It might have been granted. This sneaky approach was not only petty but also despicable.
As soon as he finished speaking, Yinzhi didn't even give Yinsi a chance to respond before suddenly turning his horse around and galloping away like an arrow. In the blink of an eye, he disappeared into the vast grassland, as if he didn't want to stay in this place of trouble for even a moment longer.
As for Lin Jiu, she only caught a fleeting glimpse of Yinzhi's face, which instantly turned stiff and pale, and Ruoxi's face, which was already ashen with fear. But before she could think any further, Yinzhi had already taken her away.
However, as he left, Lin Jiu muttered to himself, "Luckily, only the two of them saw it. If these two had been seen by a large number of people, wouldn't they have been in big trouble?"
As it turns out, even if there were only two bystanders at the scene, it would have been enough to cause Yinzhi and Ruoxi social death.
Ruoxi, draped in a cloak, her once neatly styled hair now disheveled, stared at Yinzhen with a face as pale as paper. Her body trembled slightly, and she stammered, "Eighth...Eighth Prince, we..."
Eighth Prince Yinzhi stared at Ruoxi, whose face was haggard, complexion dull and rough, and whose skin was no longer as delicate and smooth as before. He couldn't help but frown, and a hint of disdain flashed in his eyes. But he quickly regained his usual gentle and refined demeanor and comforted her softly: It's all my fault. I couldn't help myself for a moment. Ruoxi, you don't need to worry. I will definitely protect you and will never let you get hurt!
Hearing these sweet words, and seeing Yinzhi's handsome and charming face smiling at her with doting affection, Ruoxi's face instantly turned from pale to bright red, as delicate and luscious as a ripe apple. She replied shyly, "Eighth Prince, I believe you!"
In just a few words, the atmosphere had subtly changed.
Looking at Ruoxi's sweet smile, and recalling the look in Yinjiu's eyes when he left—a look of blatant contempt—Yinsi felt a moment of regret. Perhaps he shouldn't have made this move with Ruoxi.
He thought he could use this opportunity to keep Ruoxi under his control, and also use Fourteenth Prince, who had feelings for Ruoxi, for his own purposes. Who would have thought that Ninth Prince and the others would find out?
If Lin Jiu knew that Yin Si thought he could win a woman's heart by possessing her body, she would definitely laugh at him for a year. Modern times are fast-paced, and nowadays everyone says goodbye and the next one is better!
It can only be said that Yinzhi was naive. Before meeting Ruoxi, he was still keeping Yinzhen hanging. If Yinzhen hadn't fallen out with her because of Honghui, the two would still be entangled now!
