Chapter 18, whose intelligence balance is insufficient?
“Roll? Heh…”
Huangfu Fenglin sneered twice, brushed his long sleeves, and leaped down from the building. His graceful and flowing posture was as elegant as a butterfly, quite pleasing to the eye.
Shen Qingmei had to admit that, before meeting Huangfu Fenglin, there wasn’t a man she could describe as “beautiful.” However, after seeing this man, she couldn’t find a more fitting word to describe him.
At the age of around sixteen or seventeen, his face still had a hint of childishness, but his naturally sparkling peach blossom eyes radiated charm. In his gaze, there was a sense of elegance, completely different from the cold and frosty phoenix eyes of the Godfather, but equally captivating.
Feeling Shen Qingmei’s gaze fixed on his face, Huangfu Fenglin felt a wave of disgust. His peach blossom eyes slightly narrowed, shooting out a clear cold light. The corners of his rosy lips curved into a mocking arc, his tone contemptuous and disdainful.
“People should walk the path that suits them. Someone like you, who’s as fat as a ball, should definitely roll. Don’t believe me? Try running faster and see if you can start rolling.”
How outrageous!
Shen Qingmei bit her lip. Luckily, she had transmigrated here, so her mental resilience was strong enough. Otherwise, with Huangfu Chang’an’s original inferiority complex, he would have been deeply hurt by such a blunt personal attack!
It seemed like she hadn’t heard a decent word from his mouth since dealing with this guy. Does this guy really want to drive her crazy?
Dealing with someone like him, reasoning with him was useless, and playing dirty tricks wouldn’t work either… Lowering her gaze, Shen Qingmei decided to temporarily endure and ignore this birdbrain while she was in a disadvantaged position.
So, under Huangfu Fenglin’s provocative gaze, Shen Qingmei gave him a magnificent turn and walked away, humming a little tune, shaking her plump little butt with each step.
“The sun shines brightly, the flowers smile at me. The little bird says early, why are you carrying a bomb? I say, it’s to blow idiots up, idiots who don’t know…”
Listening to Shen Qingmei hum that jumbled tune, Huangfu Fenglin was stunned!
She, she, she… just walked away like that?!
How could this be!
In the past, this fat guy would always rush over and make trouble whenever he was mocked by him. Gradually, he started to keep his distance from him. This time, in order to lure her into taking the bait, he took the risk of provoking her, but he didn’t expect her to completely ignore his mockery. This was unreasonable!
On the side, the little eunuch who was serving by Huangfu Fenglin’s side hurriedly ran down the stairs, also surprised by the situation. He thought he would witness a good show, but he didn’t expect his master to fail one after another. If Huangfu Chang’an didn’t come over and didn’t fall into that trap… wouldn’t it be a slap in the face for the master who set the trap?!
He secretly glanced at Huangfu Fenglin, and the handsome face of the other party was already gloomy.
“Your Highness, are you just going to let her go like that?”
“Of course not!” Huangfu Fenglin cursed angrily. If this matter got out, he would surely be laughed at. Losing face to such an idiot, he couldn’t accept it!
Looking at the round and clumsy figure walking away, Huangfu Fenglin thought for a moment and suddenly had an idea. With a casual tone, he called out to Huangfu Chang’an.
“By the way… don’t you want to know why you became so fat and stupid-looking?”
Upon hearing this, Shen Qingmei’s heart trembled.
Did someone manipulate him? Does he know?
Turning around and meeting that guy’s arrogant and mocking expression, Shen Qingmei quickly calmed down after the initial surprise.
No, this guy probably doesn’t know. He’s only a few years older than me, so when I started gaining weight, he was probably still playing with mud in a corner. Even if he noticed something, he wouldn’t tell me. From the current situation, it’s clear that we are completely at odds with each other.
But then again, this guy’s behavior today is really strange. In the past, he would avoid me without hesitation and wouldn’t waste his breath on me.
Now, instead of ignoring me, he actively came to provoke me, trying to lure me with those words… Hm, something fishy is definitely going on here!
Seeing Huangfu Chang’an turn around but hesitating to come over, Huangfu Fenglin couldn’t help but raise an eyebrow and smile. He spoke in a coaxing manner.
“You’ve lost your memory, so there are many things you don’t remember. But I’m sure you’re still wondering why other royal brothers and sisters are normal, yet only your physique is so embarrassingly abnormal.”
Shen Qingmei looked at him suspiciously, her face full of distrust.
“Do you know, by any chance?”
“To be honest with you, before you lost your memory, I had asked my elder brother to secretly investigate this matter. We didn’t have any leads before, so my brother didn’t disclose anything to you. But recently, my brother has noticed some clues…”
Watching Huangfu Fenglin talk on and on without blinking, Shen Qingmei couldn’t help but sneer inwardly.
He’s just bullshitting! He’s really treating her like she’s lacking in intelligence!
Don’t tell her that Huangfu Chang’an used to believe the nonsense he made up. That would be really embarrassing. Better to die early and be reborn early.
Under Shen Qingmei’s watchful gaze, Huangfu Fenglin inexplicably felt a little guilty. But a person’s aptitude is innate, and losing one’s memory doesn’t magically change that.
Glancing around, Huangfu Fenglin lowered his voice slightly. “It’s not convenient to talk here. Come with me.”
Shen Qingmei narrowed her eyes, clearly not believing him. “You’re willing to help me investigate the truth. Are you really that kind-hearted?”
“Cough…” Hearing this, Huangfu Fenglin awkwardly looked away, coughed lightly, and then forced a smile, trying to appear friendly. “Well… no matter what, I am still your fourth brother. Seeing you in this state actually makes me feel uncomfortable. Besides, Father really likes you. If we can find the cause of your weight gain, maybe he will look at me differently too.”
“You have a point.”
Shen Qingmei nodded and started walking towards him.
Seeing her agreement, Huangfu Fenglin immediately felt relieved and sarcastically thought that this idiot is still so easy to deceive. If someone like her were to become the crown prince, become the emperor, the fate of the Yelang Dynasty would be doomed.
However, he didn’t know that within the despised, overweight body, a new soul had already taken its place!
Huangfu Chang’an was no longer the useless crown prince, who was mocked and ridiculed by everyone. Regardless of how pathetic this body used to be, how useless and despair-inducing it was, Shen Qingmei would not allow anyone to humiliate her, toy with her, mock her, or belittle her!
She wanted everyone who looked down on her to regret it deeply!
Don’t think that Huangfu Fenglin’s little tricks can deceive her. After all, she was meticulously trained by the Godfather himself to be an undefeated ace assassin. If she allowed herself to be played by this stinky little brat, it would be a small matter to injure her own pride, but it would be absolutely unforgivable to bring shame to the Godfather!
Seeing how eager Huangfu Fenglin was for her to go over, even an idiot could tell that he had ulterior motives. Therefore, Shen Qingmei carefully observed him, scanning his surroundings. As expected, she easily noticed the traces of tampering in the grassy area where he had stopped.
Did he set a trap to try to scheme against her?
Hehe, her thirst for revenge is strong, so don’t cry later, my dear!
