USWHC -Chapter 439 My Wife (Part 9)

“Hey, kid! You’ve been staring for an hour already! Not enough?” Lu Anzhi said in an exaggerated tone. This time, he was the one teasing, and who was the “infatuated kid” he was mocking?

None other than Ji Yi, who was still frozen under the spell! And at this moment, he was staring wide-eyed at the three heavenly princesses.

Seeing Ji Yi in such a dazed, almost foolish state, Lu Anzhi couldn’t help but laugh. “Hey, kid, which one are you looking at?”

“My… my wife!” Ji Yi said blankly, as if in a trance.

The words immediately triggered a burst of laughter. “Your wife? You fool actually dare to think that! No way—my wife is still mine!”

Hearing this, Ji Yi took it seriously and excitedly turned to ask, “Which one? Which one is your wife?”

“The prettiest one, of course!” the man replied irresponsibly.

Ji Yi was instantly furious. “Nonsense! That’s my wife!”

“Wahaha~ What an idiot!” Another round of laughter erupted. Everyone around was laughing so loudly it shook the pavilion, and even those inside the pavilion looked over.

One person suddenly stood up, shocked, staring at a spot in the crowd behind the fake hill.

“Jing Han, what are you looking at?” asked the youngest, Princess Lanyi, in a sweet, delicate voice.

The woman called Jing Han stammered, “I… they… they seem to be talking about something?”

“What else would they be talking about? A bunch of dirty men!” Princess Lanxin said with disgust. “Haven’t you had enough of these men? They’ve been like this since childhood, leering everywhere you go. I’m sick of it and just ignore them—it’s all filthy energy anyway!”

“Princess!” A palace maid cautiously approached Jing Han and whispered, “Many people are looking at you too.”

Princess? So she was Princess Lanqin—the head of the three great beauties, Guo Jinghan. But why did she look so shocked, with tears rolling in her eyes? What could have moved her so deeply?

“Yes… I’ve had enough of it,” Princess Lanqin finally sighed softly and elegantly sat back down, tilting her head slightly so the tears wouldn’t fall.

“Th-Then, who is she?” At this moment, Ji Yi was still trembling as he pointed at her, astonished.

“Isn’t she your wife?”

“A fairy from the heavens!”

“Stop this nonsense!” Lu Anzhi stepped forward to intervene. “That’s Princess Lanqin, Guo Jinghan—not your wife!”

“But she really is my wife!” Ji Yi insisted seriously. “Isn’t her name Zhu Jie?”

“You even dare change the royal surname? You’ve lost it!” Lu Anzhi laughed. “Your wife? Let me tell you—how many men have dreamed of her in the capital? Too bad! She’s never meant to be yours. She’s a cloud in the sky, and you’re a toad on the ground! I’ve been dreaming of marrying adorable Princess Lanyi myself—could she ever be my wife?”

“But she really is my wife!” Ji Yi shouted anxiously, yet no one believed him.

Not only that, someone in the crowd teased, “If she’s your wife, go call her! Let’s see if she pays attention to you!”

“Yeah! Go ahead!” More voices joined in, egging him on.

Ji Yi, already determined, suddenly stepped out from behind the fake hill, summoning all his strength, and dashed toward the pavilion. Of course, the area around the pavilion was surrounded by guards.

Lu Anzhi was startled. “No way… he really dares to go?!” He hurriedly grabbed Ji Yi’s arm, pleading, “Ji Yi! Wake up! You can’t go! You’ll get beaten to death!”

But Ji Yi ignored him completely. With a push, he knocked Lu Anzhi to the ground and, as if possessed, charged straight toward the pavilion.

The guards around the pavilion froze. He actually dared to charge forward? They had been watching the commotion and enjoying the spectacle, but now that Ji Yi really seemed fearless, they had no choice but to rush over and stop this madman.
