My wild cat

In the bed chamber of the Huxia palace, court lady Mingxia was helping Gu Hui dress neatly.

At that moment, a maid entered and said, "The crown prince has arrived."

As the crown prince walked in, both the court lady and the maid bowed their heads. The crown prince looked at the court lady and said, "No one should be in the palace."

The court lady bowed her head further and replied, "Yes, Your Royal Highness, as you say."

Saying this, the maid and the court lady left the bed chamber, leaving Gu Hui and the crown prince alone.

Gu Hui looked even more beautiful in her neat and clean clothes. Her beauty and figure were clear and perfect. Sensing his gaze on her, Gu Hui clenched her fist tightly behind her back and sneered at him.

Jin Yuchen slowly moved closer to her, leaning towards her. He sniffed her hair and closed his eyes. This made Gu Hui feel very creeped out.

At that moment, Gu Hui secretly took out a dagger from her other hand and was about to stab Jin Yuchen in the back, but he stopped her with his hand. Gu Hui was shocked and afraid of being caught red-handed.

She then struggled to free her hand from his grip, but her power and strength were nothing compared to Jin Yuchen's.

"No, no, my wild cat, not now. It hasn't even been an hour since you came inside my palace, and here you are, already trying to attack me?" Jin Yuchen smiled and joked.

He was enjoying the game.

"Let me go," Gu Hui said.

Jin Yuchen finally let go of Gu Hui's hand. He took a few steps back and looked at Gu Hui from head to toe.

"I think you forget, my little wild cat. I have bought you. You are a slave. If I let you go, won't I be at a loss? You cost 10,000 gold coins. And you know, wild cat, I hate being at a loss," Jin Yuchen replied.

"I am not a wild cat," Gu Hui said.

Ignoring what Gu Hui said, Jin Yuchen straightened up and looked at the cup and bottle of wine. He poured himself a cup of wine and looked at Gu Hui.

"Do you want to drink some wine?" he asked her, but she sneered and looked away from him.

Taking her gesture as a no, he started sipping his wine.

They both didn't speak, and the bed chamber was dead silent. They could only hear the sound of the wind blowing and some birds chirping.

Suddenly, Gu Hui's stomach started growling, breaking the silence. She hugged her knees to stop the growling noise, but it grew louder and louder as she hadn't eaten properly in many days.

Jin Yuchen, who was sipping his wine, also heard Gu Hui's growling. He turned to Gu Hui.

"Look, there's a table full of food, fruits, and drinks. If you want to fill your stomach, you can go there," he said, pointing at the table filled with different exotic fruits, rice, bread, meat, porridge, drinks, and more.

Gu Hui didn't want to go, but she reluctantly walked to the table and started eating like a hungry wolf. At that moment, she was famished seeing the food in front of her.

A few minutes later, Jin Yuchen joined her. She stopped eating and looked at him, but he completely ignored her and began eating elegantly.

Looking at him eating she looked at herself. Food was scattered all over her side of the table. . She had been using her hands to eat, resulting in some food ending up on her plate and even on her face.

Feeling embarrassed, she wiped her mouth, clothes, and hands, and cleaned up the table on her side. Afterward, she picked up a chopstick from the table and started eating slowly.

Today, looking at her, who could have guessed that she was once a proud princess of the Gu Dynasty? It's true that no one knows what the future holds, where life will take them.

Opposite to her, Jin Yuchen acted as if he didn't care about her, but he was observing her every move closely.

As a crown prince, he had been raised to be noble and elegant. He usually felt disgusted when people ate messily in front of him, but today he found it amusing to watch her. He simply felt that she must be hungry.

After finishing their meal, he stared at Gu Hui in silence and suddenly asked, "Who are you? What is your name? Where are you from? Where is your family?"

This sudden question made Gu Hui chocked her food. She stopped eating, pats her chest and looked back at him.

She couldn't reveal her true identity, as he might kill her on the spot.

"I... I... my name... why the hell do you want to know about the attacker who tried to kill you?" Gu Hui was about to say something, but she felt irritated and screamed at him.

Jin Yuchen blinked his eyes and didn't say anything.

In his mind, he was thinking, "Did this wild cat just scream at me because I asked about her personal information?"

"Stop judging me in your mind, you devil," Gu Hui said.

"How? How did you know I was judging you? Maybe I was thinking about your well being," Jin Yuchen replied.

"Huh! You thinking positively about others? My ass!" Gu Hui sneered and said proudly. She then starts eating freely.

This was the first time anyone had dared to talk to him like this. Even his father, the Emperor of the Jin Dynasty, had never spoken to him like that. But the strange thing was, he didn't feel angry, irritated, or disgusted by the woman in front of him.

Instead, he wanted to know more about her and play along. If it had been any other woman in her place, he might have cut her throat for daring to speak to him in such a manner.

It didn't matter if the woman was a princess of a dynasty or an heiress of an aristocratic family.
