Chapter 104: Sins Original translation is from tenderflower's blog.

Of course, the most uncomfortable one was Qiqi. When Bai Jue asked her something, Shen Zhonghua would interject with a sentence. But fortunately, the two of them were considered to be in check and balance. Qiqi and Bai Jue weren’t very familiar, so it also saved her from perfunctory coping.

However, Shen Zhonghua obviously came here to swear sovereignty. Seeing Qiqi didn’t want to pay attention to him, he instead leaned forward and asked her: “Qiqi, is the injury better?”

Qiqi finally had an expression on her face. Although she was ashamed and angry, she stared at Shen Zhonghua. What was? No, that day......

Qiqi turned her head to the side, breathing quickly. Nevertheless said in a cold voice: “No need for Wangye to be concerned.”

After that, she turned around to leave. She just wanted to leave this place of right and wrong. However, she seemed to be unable to get rid of Shen Zhonghua. Before, Qiqi didn’t know he was so fond of smiling and was such a noisy person. He followed over and said: “Qiqi looks very good with this hairpin. Of course, Qiqi is still more beautiful.”

Qiqi: “...”

It was also the first time Bai Jue saw Shen Zhonghua like this. It wasn’t at all similar to the cold-faced Yama in the court and in the rumors. His gaze fell on Qiqi and it wasn’t difficult to see the relationship between the two of them. Bai Jue seemed to be deliberately joking as he suddenly opened his mouth and said: “Miss Cui and Prince Rong are about to be married soon. If one remembers correctly, Miss Su and Miss Cui are about the same age. But one doesn’t know which man Miss Su whose temperament is like orchids, a beautiful and intelligent woman likes?”

Although in Shen Zhonghua’s eyes or in his heart Qiqi was the best woman in the world, he didn’t like this kind of Bai Jue. Especially when he was staring fixedly at his woman in front of him like there were “other attempts”.

He just listened and sneered. He asked Bai Jue back: “If this prince didn’t remember wrong, Prime Minister Bai and Qiqi only met a few times and there’s no deep understanding. How do you know Miss Su is a beautiful and intelligent woman?”

As soon as these words came out, Bai Jue still smiled, but Qiqi’s expression changed. Shen Zhonghua just wanted to ridicule Bai Jue. What he meant by saying this was that Bai Jue didn’t know Qiqi. He wanted to tell Qiqi that this man’s mouth was a sly ghost. He said beautiful words but didn’t praise her sincerely so Qiqi shouldn’t be fooled.

But to Qiqi these words were as if saying she wasn’t at all a beautiful and intelligent young lady.

Probably she was angry, Qiqi turned around to leave. After thinking about it, she stopped again but it wasn’t because of Shen Zhonghua or Bai Jue’s words that she stopped. She held her hands and raised her chin slightly which was already a proud and noble woman’s attitude. She unexpectedly answered the question she originally didn’t want to answer: “Perhaps it’s a little rude to say this, but the person I like is surely not Prince Xuan.”

Shen Zhonghua: “...”

“Hahaha!” Bai Jue didn’t hold back and laughed heartily.

Shen Zhonghua glanced at him and said coldly: “Keep on gloating!”

(T/N: xìngzāilèhuò literally means: to rejoice in other people’s misfortune.)

Then he quickly chased after Qiqi.

Seeing Shen Zhonghua chased after the Su family’s miss, the servant by Bai Jue’s side came over and asked him: “Master, don’t you follow?”

“No.” Bai Jue stood up and smiled lightly: “Let’s go find Lan Sheng to drink.”

“Qiqi!” Shen Zhonghua chased up. At this time there were no other people so they didn’t need to avoid people’s sight. He pulled her, but was shaken off by her: “Wangye, please be respectful.”

“That’s not what I meant.” He wanted to explain, but Qiqi didn’t want to hear it: “Prince Xuan, our master and servant relationship has already been severe. From now on, we have nothing to do with each other.”

“The master and servant relationship has already been severe, then what about the husband and wife relationship?” Shen Zhonghua interrupted her urgently.

“What?” Qiqi’s entire face was surprised.

“You and I already have a true husband and wife relationship. If I......”

“Impossible!” Qiqi interrupted him in time.

But Shen Zhonghua grabbed her hand and continued to say despite her struggling: “You and I are already a true husband and wife. Why can’t we continue our destiny of husband and wife?”

“Prince Xuan! Let go of me!” Qiqi’s hand trembled by the pain of his grasp: “Perhaps I once had feelings for you, but......”

“Don’t say it again!” It was Shen Zhonghua who interrupted Qiqi: “That is not what I want to hear.”

The more he didn’t want to hear, the more Qiqi wanted to tell him.

“Wangye, there is no destiny between us from the beginning to the end.”

Shen Zhonghua didn’t believe it: “If there is no destiny, why would we meet? If there is no destiny, why is it you from the beginning, after going round and round, and it’s still you?”

Qiqi was stunned for a moment then sighed softly: “You also said it was going round and round......”

She said: “In addition to predestined love in this world, there is also ill-fated. Perhaps our meeting from the beginning is sin......”
