Chapter 272 - Tell My Fifth Brother
Lei Wanxi was eating dumplings in front of a food stall when the seller asked him, "You seem from an upper-class family. I wonder if eating from this food stall is suiting your taste or not, young master."
"Indeed, it suits my taste. I love eating food in the stalls, especially the dumplings," Lei Wanxi affirmed and took another dumpling stick from the seller. While chewing the dumpling inside his mouth, he took out two cents and handed that to the seller.
Walking ahead while holding the dumpling stick in his hand, he looked around. "Where shall I have my food today?" Lei Wanxi wondered and kept walking in search of a good restaurant.
As he finished the dumpling, he threw the stick in the wooden basket, which was placed beside another food stall. Walking ahead, he came across a restaurant. He ascended the stairs and walked in when he was hit on the shoulder by a woman, who walked past him.
He turned and found that the woman who hit him was none other than Chuntao. He extended his hand out and called out her name, "Miss Chuntao." But she did not stop when a man ran past him.
"What is going on?" Lei Wanxi was confused. He decided to follow Chuntao and went behind her.
Chuntao was running aimlessly when she was caught by the man, who was chasing her. There were tears in her eyes. "Chun, forgive me," Bingbing said.
"Why did you do that? You told me that you like me and want to marry me. Then, why?" Chuntao asked while sobbing.
"Chun, I only kissed her, nothing more." Bingbing clarified himself.
Lei Wanxi was hearing their conversation, who were fighting in the restaurant's backyard.
"Don't lie! I caught you the other day as well. You and Miaoran were fooling me. Let's depart our ways. You did a few things for me for which I am grateful to you," Chuntao stated, wiping the tears from her cheeks. Bingbing moved closer to her and held her hands.
"Chun, that was just a mistake. We only kissed and did not do anything further," Bingbing affirmed.
Chuntao struggled to remove her hands from Bingbing's grip. "Leave me. I need to go. It's ended between us," Chuntao stated, twisting her hands in his hands.
"I cannot let you go, Chun. You are mine," Bingbing's words did not seem right to Chuntao. Using her whole strength, she pushed him away.
"You have lost your mind. I do not want to create any kind of nuisance here. I am leaving for the Palace. Don't ever show me your face," Chuntao stated and turned to her right when Bingbing stopped her.
"Even you betrayed me by going to the Palace. You are entertaining the Fourth Prince, right? That's why he comes to you and takes you to the Palace," Bingbing proclaimed and chuckled. "Why would a Prince take interest in you unless you give him some sexual favors? He paid off your debts and even punished Landlord Ma. Why didn't he punish him for the other people but you only? Because you gave your body to the Fourth Prince. At least I wanted to marry you… not anymore. But when you leave the Palace, no one will even glance at you," Bingbing pronounced and placed his hands on his waist.
Lei Wanxi could not tolerate the conversation between them. "Watch your tongue, young man!" Lei Wanxi loudly said.
Both Bingbing and Chuntao turned to the voice source. Bingbing could not recognize the Sixth Prince and stepped towards him. "You look from the upper class. Master, this is a matter between us so, you shall not intervene. Chun, let's go home," Bingbing went to Chuntao and grasped her hand, who was resisting, but in front of the Sixth Prince, she did not want to create a scene.
"Leave her hand," Lei Wanxi sternly said, glaring at Bingbing.
"Young Master, she is my soon-to-be wife," Binbing affirmed and looked at Chuntao. "Let's go home," he said with a smile, moving forward. Lei Wanxi walked to him and hit Bingbing's hand with his fan.
"Ahh," Bingbing passed a low scream, leaving Chuntao's hand.
"Sister Chuntao, come here," the Sixth Prince stated. Chuntao went behind Lei Wanxi, who had extended his arm out.
"Sister Chun, he did not do anything to you, right?" Lei Wanxi asked, tilting his head, with a slight worriedness.
"No, your highness," Chuntao replied when Bingbing threw a punch at Lei Wanxi, thus hurting him. Lei Wanxi fell on the ground and touched his lower lip which was bleeding.
"Your highness," Chuntao shouted and fell on her knees. "Are you okay?" She asked and then glared at Bingbing. "Have you lost your mind? You hit the Sixth Prince!" she shrieked. The restaurant owner came upon hearing the shouts and saw the Sixth Prince there. He ran towards him and helped him in standing up.
Bingbing gulped in fear and quickly fell on his knees. "Your highness, please forgive me."
"Ahh, my cheek," Lei Wanxi cried in pain.
A few other men had also come there upon hearing the noise. "Call the Royal Inspector. This man has hit the Royal Sixth Prince," the restaurant owner shouted for help.
"Your highness, come with me. We will get you treated," the restaurant owner humbly said.
"It's fine. I will go back to the Palace and tell my Fifth Brother about today's incident. I think something happened to my jaw," Lei Wanxi said in a low voice. Bingbing was asking for forgiveness. The Royal Inspector came there with two junior inspectors and told them to take Binbging away.
"Chun, save me! It was a mistake," Bingbing pleaded, who was in tears.
"Royal Inspector, take him away. His sight is giving me goosebumps. What if he hits me again?" Lei Wanxi muttered, holding his cheek.
The Royal Inspector bowed and gestured to the junior officers to take Bingbing away. "Your highness, please come with me. I will drop you to the Palace," stated the Royal Inspector.
Lei Wanxi nodded and looked at Chuntao. "Let's go, Sister Chun." He walked ahead, followed by Chuntao.
