Lu Ying remained silent, his gaze fixed intently on him.
His eyes were so chillingly gloomy that Huo Mingxu couldn't help but shudder. "You… why are you glaring at me like that? After all, you're my brother-in-law. The harem is filled with beauties. Surely, you wouldn't still be thinking about your younger brother's wife, would you? The Commandery Princess is Cui Ji's woman. She even bore him a child!"
The more he spoke, the colder and more penetrating Lu Ying's eyes became.
Huo Mingxu cleared his throat awkwardly. "Of course, I'll wait until a full year after Cui Ji's death before formally proposing to the Commandery Princess. There's still some fate between us, after all. Take today's archery competition, for example. She didn't bet on anyone else but chose me to win. Or consider how my lantern perfectly matches hers. Such signs prove that rushing our union would be unwise…"
The young man prattled on and on.
