Chapter 69 Are You Crazy?
He swiftly regained his composure and uttered icily, "What do you mean by that? I'm just concerned about the ambassador and the shoot. I would also be concerned if the ambassador happened to be someone else. Is that a problem?"
This time, it was Jun Haoxuan who scanned Ye Sijue skeptically.
However, as Ye Sijue didn't even flinch, he failed to find a crack in his friend's facade.
Heaving a sigh of relief, Jun Haoxuan announced, "Since you don't care for her, I'll be frank. I fell in love with your ambassador at first sight. I'm going to court her."
Immediately, Ye Sijue's head snapped up as a gleam flashed across his eyes.
He masked his emotions into an expressionless facade in an instant though he had no idea why he did so instinctively.
Jun Haoxuan was staring at his castle, so he didn't see the change in Ye Sijue's gaze.
A warm smile flitted across his lips. "It's rare to fall in love at first sight. My friend, if you don't mind, I shall take action. Don't add that stupid clause of stopping her from getting a boyfriend. An overbearing contract like this should be abolished years ago."
Ye Sijue replied coolly, "Haoxuan, I picked her to be the ambassador, so she's mine. You know how protective I am. If you're just fooling around, get someone else. There are plenty of women who'd fulfill your fantasies in the club. They are willing, and you can do whatever you want without ruining your family's reputation."
Jun Haoxuan gave Ye Sijue a displeased stare. "Do you think I'm Ranfeng? I'm going to court her sincerely and date her with marriage as my end goal. I was born into a military family, so I don't fool around with women. I'm serious."
Ye Sijue's frown deepened.
"Do you even know what she's like? Love at first sight rarely ends up well."
Jun Haoxuan chuckled. "Don't worry. I'm a good judge of character. We will get along well. Besides, we shall know if we are a perfect match after we try it out."
Ye Sijue fell silent.
After a while, he spoke up. "Whatever!"
With that, he stormed into the castle.
Inside the castle, Mu Xia was preparing for her shoot.
It was a different concept from the shoot at Midnight Coffee Café. This time, she was to act as a princess, so she had to put makeup on.
The makeup artist was used to Mu Xia's skin and features. She put on light but stunning makeup for the latter. After the job was done, even the makeup artist herself was mesmerized by how Mu Xia was.
"Are you done?" Iris broke the silence. "Why didn't the fairy inform the mortal world prior to her arrival?"
Everyone in the room burst out laughing as they snapped out of their trance.
Right then, someone pushed the door to the dressing room open.
Bang! Everyone looked at the door instinctively and saw Ye Sijue striding in, his expression grim.
As he had an imposing aura, no one dared to look at him and hurriedly lowered their heads.
Mu Xia parted her lips to ask, "What's the matter?"
「Look at how grim he is. Is he trying to scare someone?」
Ye Sijue swept his icy gaze across everyone. "Get out. I need to talk to the ambassador in private."
The rest immediately scuttled out without a word.
Standing up from her chair, Mu Xia met Ye Sijue's gaze and repeated, "What's the matter?"
The next moment, Ye Sijue took her hand.
Mu Xia gasped in pain and tried to struggle, but the man merely tightened his grip.
Giving him a furious stare, Mu Xia demanded, "Ye Sijue, are you crazy?"
