Chapter 465: That Little Thing
The vast and silent forest was devoid of even a ghostly shadow, except for the figure in red ahead, exceptionally eye-catching.
She turned her head slowly, a faint smile at the corner of her lips, and in that instant, it was as if the world lost its color. A beauty’s smile, and the world fades.
No words could possibly describe her beauty; it was truly as the legends said, beauty that was not of this world.
Han Qingjue was used to the ethereal beauty of her own mother’s face, and believed she had inherited her beauty as well. With Su Yu’s face etched in her heart, she thought she was long immune to the concept of beauty. Yet, in front of Xia Ji, all beauty seemed pale and powerless.
Su Yu might be even more handsome than his mother, but he was, after all, a man, lacking a few degrees of the feminine allure.
Xia Ji, however, embodied all of these into her very bones, no wonder the men of the world were crazed for her. Even she, as a woman, couldn’t help but feel her heart race before such an unparalleled beauty.
Xia Ji was tall and stunning, possessing an aura of dominance over the world just by standing there.
No one had fought Xia Ji, but Han Qingjue knew this woman’s strength was profoundly unfathomable. She couldn’t describe her shock at Xia Ji’s presence here.
"Came to find you." Xia Ji did not conceal her purpose, her voice soft and alluring, merely listening to it stirred the imagination, making one feel limp and weak.
Han Qingjue instinctively became wary. They shouldn’t have any relations, right? She had seen her a few times, but as far as their affiliations went, Beihan Palace and Lingyou Hall were opposing forces, not to mention, the way she had treated the man she loved. If not for her, Su Yu wouldn’t have turned out this way. If not, they, childhood friends, wouldn’t be in a state where he wouldn’t even spare her a glance.
Therefore, Han Qingjue truly held not the slightest favor towards Xia Ji.
"I don’t recall us having anything between us. If you have something to say, say it quickly. If not, please don’t block my way." Han Qingjue said coldly.
"Oh, look at that, young girls these days really have a temper. Acting this way in front of your future mother-in-law isn’t very likable~" Xia Ji laughed lightly, but her words made Han Qingjue’s face blush slightly.
But in her heart, she grew even more cautious—what exactly was this woman up to?
Han Qingjue wasn’t foolish enough to think this woman could have any good intentions! Speaking of a black heart, none was blacker than Xia Ji!
"Do you think you deserve to be Yun Peng’s mother? That’s the funniest joke I’ve ever heard!" Han Qingjue mocked.
"Deserving or not, he’s my son; that’s an undeniable fact." Xia Ji arched her eyebrows: "But you, poor child, wasted so many years of feelings, and in the end, that little thing ended up with someone else."
"What nonsense are you spouting? That ugly freak? Yun Peng would never fall for her!" Han Qingjue didn’t want to waste words with Xia Ji; this woman exuded bad luck all over. The men who like her must be blind!
"My dear granddaughter is about to be born. Who that little thing likes, does it matter? What matters is, his daughter wasn’t born by you, but by the ugly freak you mentioned. What, did you make a wasted trip and know nothing?" Xia Ji looked full of sympathy.
