Chapter 1601 - The Teenager Confessed (2)

However, Jun Linyun was greatly disappointed to find out that his dream girl wasn’t into princes.

He gave Feng Wu a sad look. “But why don’t you like princes? They’re very high in status. If you can marry a prince, glory and wealth will be within your reach.”

Feng Wu threw a dirty look at him.

Was he trying to persuade her to marry him? Poor Jun Linyun. He still didn’t know that Feng Wu had found out about his affection for her, which was why she could see right through him.

Feng Wu decided that she should use this opportunity to straighten things out with him.

She patted him on the shoulder. “Sit. We need to talk.”

“Alright —” Jun Linyun obediently sat down in front of Feng Wu.

The grass was taller than a grown man around them, so the others couldn’t see the two people sitting here.

Feng Wu had a solemn look on her face as she met Jun Linyun’s eyes. “Are you asking me why I don’t like princes?”

Jun Linyun stared at her nervously. “Yes!”

Feng Wu sighed, chose her words carefully, and told Jun Linyun, “A prince may sound like a nice title, but with Jun Linyuan’s unique position at the moment, life is very difficult for other princes, especially the second prince. He’s also the son of the empress, but his life is so much more miserable.”

Jun Linyun nodded in agreement when he recalled how his own brother had been humiliated by Jun Linyuan.

Feng Wu said, “Of course, there are exceptions. Life wouldn’t be so bad if they’re on Jun Linyuan’s side.”n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

Jun Linyun was elated.

That was right! He himself was a prince on Jun Linyuan’s side. Would his dream girl like him, then?

But Feng Wu went on. “If you ask me, the second prince isn’t the saddest one. The most pitiful prince should be the seventh prince, also a son of Empress Dugu.”

She glanced at Jun Linyun as she spoke.

Poor Jun Linyun. He still didn’t know that Feng Wu was saying these things on purpose.

He immediately gathered his thoughts when he heard his own name mentioned, and he kept his gaze fixed on Feng Wu. “Why is the seventh prince so pitiful?”

Feng Wu looked at Jun Linyun and feigned a serious voice. “Just think about it. Empress Dugu and Jun Linyuan don’t see eye to eye, right?”

Jun Linyun nodded repeatedly. His mother would criticize Jun Linyuan in front of him whenever she could. He could almost recite her words.

“The second prince and Jun Linyuan don’t like each other, right?” Feng Wu asked.

Jun Linyun nodded again.

Prompted by their mother and the Dugu clan, his second brother had become greedy, thinking that he would have a chance to inherit the throne just because he was the son of the empress. How naive!

Feng Wu said, “Since both the second and seventh princes are Empress Dugu’s sons, they should both be against Jun Linyuan, right?”

Jun Linyun shook his head repeatedly. “No, it’s not like that. The seventh prince grew up with the crown prince and respects him greatly. They’re very close!”

Feng Wu smiled. “Do you really think so?”

Jun Linyun said anxiously, “Yes! It’s true! I swear!”

Feng Wu gave him an amused look. “Why would you swear on it? You’re not him.”

“I...” Jun Linyun wanted to say something but hesitated.

For a moment, he almost blurted out that he was the seventh prince.

However, recalling how much his dream girl disliked that title, Jun Linyun lowered his head and looked crestfallen.

Feng Wu smiled at him.

After her outright rejection, she thought that the teenager should take the hint.

However, she had underestimated how obsessed Jun Linyun was.
