Jealousy Runs Wild
Hongyan had never been treated so gently by anyone before. Her gaze followed Adam closely, as if nothing else in the world could catch her eye.
It had to be said that Adam had a face that Hongyan liked the most.
He was handsome, had blonde hair, and had the elegance of a noble. He was like a prince who had walked out of a painting. Hongyan still remembered that she loved watching Disney cartoons when she was young, especially those stories about princes and princesses. They were her favorite.
But as she grew older, it was no longer appropriate for her to like these. Moreover, she and Hong Xun loved to insult each other. Every time she watched cartoons, she would be mocked by Hong Xun.
In the end, Hongyan gradually stopped watching those things.
But when she saw Adam, Hongyan realized that she had never forgotten that she still had a princess dream deep in her heart.
…
Adam saw that Hongyan was staring at him without blinking and couldn't help but find it funny. He asked, "Why are you staring at me like a fool?"
Hongyan immediately snapped out of her daze and asked, "Aren't you still injured? Why did Princess Freya ask you to attend the banquet? "
Adam's dark red eyes flickered. He lowered his head to look at Hongyan and pursed his lips into a beautiful arc. He slowly said, "Because this is Lilith's request, so I'm here."
"Tsk."
Hongyan was disdainful. She didn't expect such a reason, but it was reasonable. After all, as long as it was the princess's order, Adam would definitely not reject it.
Adam saw that Hongyan was looking at him with disdain and his dark red eyes darkened. He smiled and said, "But I came here willingly. If I didn't want to, Lilith wouldn't force me."
"Oh."
Hongyan was no longer interested in Adam's explanation.
At this moment, a low and somewhat stiff female voice came from inside the house.
"I've been looking for you for a long time. So you're here, Adam."
Hongyan looked in the direction of the voice and saw an elegant lady leaning against a stone pillar, lazily looking at Adam and Hongyan. There was a hint of mockery and ridicule in her eyes. Hongyan felt as if she had been caught in the act and felt uncomfortable all over.
She stood half a meter away from Adam, and then greeted Freya with a not-so-familiar palace etiquette. "Greetings, Princess Freya."
"There's no need to be so restrained here. You guys can continue chatting like you usually do. I just noticed that Adam was gone in a blink of an eye, so I came over to look for him. I hope I didn't disturb you guys."
Hongyan shook her head. "Not at all."
Compared with Hongyan's uneasiness, Adam looked much calmer. He stood up straight and said with assurance, "You said it in such a dignified manner. In fact, you don't want to be flattered by the people inside anymore, right?"
Freya raised her eyebrows. "You're really good at teasing people."
Adam said, "It's also because the Princess taught me well."
Hongyan stood aside secretly. She found that Adam and Freya got along very naturally and there was no strict hierarchy in it. She couldn't help but click her tongue. Princess Lilith's lover was indeed different. He could even talk and laugh with the Princess of a country.
"You guys can continue. I won't disturb you anymore."
Freya was just about to turn around when Hongyan hurriedly said, "No, we were just fooling around. We've been outside for so long. It's time to go in."
What a joke. If Princess Freya misunderstood that she was interested in Adam, wouldn't she be snatching the Princess's man?
Although she was bold, she wouldn't risk her life.
"Really?"
Freya confirmed.
Hongyan nodded solemnly. "Really."
Freya did not insist. She smiled slightly and said, "Since you've said so, then alright. The wind outside is quite strong. You're wearing so little. If you stay outside for too long, you'll catch a cold."
"En."
Hongyan obediently nodded. Then the three of them returned to the banquet hall.
Hong Xun saw Hongyan and Adam standing together. His cold expression suddenly became serious and his complexion became bad. The woman who had been standing next to him felt the temperature suddenly drop. She couldn't help but ask, "Did someone adjust the temperature? Why does it feel so cold? "
But Hong Xun did not react. Instead, he walked straight in the direction of Hongyan.
The woman also noticed that Hongyan had come in. A cold light flashed through her eyes and she quickly chased after her.
"Hongyan!"
Hongyan had just taken a glass of juice. Before she drank it, she was stopped by Hong Xun.
She turned around and saw Hong Xun walking over in an aggressive manner.
She immediately realized that a vinegar jar had been knocked over again. She quickly stayed away from Adam. However, this action of avoiding suspicion did not satisfy Hong Xun. Instead, it made him feel that Hongyan was deliberately hiding it.
His eyes seemed to be on fire. He stared coldly at Hongyan and said coldly, "Why didn't you come to me when you came in?"
"I just came in."
Hongyan explained.
"Why are you with this man when you just came in?"
Hong Xun said aggressively.
Hongyan was speechless for a moment. She didn't know how to answer. If Hong Xun knew that she had been dancing with Adam on the balcony just now, would he jump up in anger? She curled her lips and said, "Didn't we meet as soon as we came in?"
"Hongyan, you … …"
"Hong Xun."
At this time, Miss Hong's voice stopped Hong Xun.
Hong Xun's body froze. He turned to look at Miss Hong and saw Miss Hong wearing a luxurious purple dress. She smiled at Freya and said, "I'm very sorry. Hong Xun has a bad temper. If he has offended the princess, please forgive him."
Freya's gaze swept over Hong Xun and Hongyan. Then she revealed a meaningful smile and said, "It's fine. Young people should be more energetic. I heard that Miss Hong successfully saved Lilith. I want to chat with her for a while. I hope you don't mind."
"How could that be? Hongyan, you have to properly entertain Princess Freya, do you understand? "
"Oh."
Hongyan replied.
Miss Hong revealed a decent smile and then said to Hong Xun, "Hong Xun, I still have something to talk to you about. Come with me."
But Hong Xun's gaze was still fixed on Hongyan. Miss Hong slightly knit her brows. Her tone became more firm as she said, "Hong Xun!"
The woman also pulled Hong Xun from the side. Hong Xun slowly turned his head and left with Miss Hong.
Once Hong Xun left, Hongyan immediately let out a sigh of relief.
She was really afraid that Hong Xun and Adam would fight on the spot.
She could also see that Freya had intentionally helped her out. She immediately had a good impression of this princess and said, "Thank you for just now, your highness."
Freya smiled, "It was nothing. Moreover, I really have something to say to you."
"Eh?"
When Hongyan heard this, she looked at Freya in confusion.
