Chapter 1000: Chapter 1000: Love’s Difficult Persistence (1)

Looking at the two people still bickering, Mo Yan eerily felt they had similar auras and were unexpectedly well-matched.

However, to Dani hiding in the corner of the wall, this noisy scene was like a Sharp Sword piercing straight into her heart. The fullness of her hopes instantly turned bloody, and the pain was unbearable.

Family background, appearance, status—she was inferior to the Commandery Princess in every aspect. Perhaps the only thing she had over the Commandery Princess was a better temper!

Yet in this world, there were so many girls with nice temper, good family backgrounds, and beautiful appearances. If he did not fancy the high and mighty Commandery Princess, where would he find the appeal in someone like her who had nothing?

She had woven a beautiful dream where the man she loved also loved her back. They would get married, have children, and grow old together... But dreams are just dreams, how could they ever turn into reality? That beautiful dream was like a net that trapped only herself.

They had met many times, yet he had never once looked at her properly, never once. At that time, she should have woken up from her daydream—what made her think that he could possibly like her?

Tears surged down like a breached dam. Dani covered her mouth with one hand to keep from making any noise and clenched the moon white pouch that was newly made but had not been given away yet with the other hand. Reason told her she should leave immediately, to completely give up on this dazzling man from now on, to never think about or pine for him again. But her feet were as though nailed to the ground, unable to move an inch.

Although Mo Yan’s gaze was on Yan Junyu and the Chang’an County Master, she was constantly aware of Dani’s movements. Seeing her pained expression, she felt very uncomfortable inside.

She held back, finally resisting the urge to go over and comfort her. Looking at the two people who were arguing incessantly, she added fuel to the fire, "You two might as well stop quarreling. Those who don’t know any better might think you’re flirting with each other!"

Upon hearing Mo Yan’s words, it was rare for the pushing-for-marriage Chang’an County Master to feel shy. Her pinkish-white face was quickly covered with a blush, making her look completely different from before, "Isn’t that so?"

Yan Junyu, however, reacted as if he were a cat that had its tail stepped on, jumping up to retort, "Lord is not flirting with this Tiger Mother here. Lord wants to live a few more years and marry a virtuous and good wife. Don’t talk nonsense, girl, and tarnish my reputation."

"Reputation?" Before Mo Yan could speak, the complexion of the Chang’an County Master turned, and she struck with a very venomous retort, "You ask around Jing City whether Yan Junyu has any reputation left to speak of. If it weren’t for the fact that we grew up together like childhood sweethearts, and out of pity that you’re getting on in years without anyone wanting you, I would have pleaded with the Dowager Empress and the Count Uncle to grant this marriage. You think you’re a sweet pastry, with people lining up to marry you?"

Such a taunt was indeed harsh, something most men wouldn’t likely tolerate, let alone the always-pampered Yan Junyu!

So, Young Master Yan abandoned the good tradition of real men not fighting with women and his mouth became even more poisonous than if he had ingested arsenic, "No matter how unworthy I am, I’m still much better than you, a stinking girl whom nobody cared about after your coming-of-age ceremony. Just grab any man on the street and ask—they’ll probably only be someone as senseless as a three-year-old child willing to give you the time of day! Whoever marries a woman like you would have anger their ancestors. The spirits of ancestors for eighteen generations would climb out of their graves."

However, unexpectedly, the Chang’an County Master did not become furious but looked at Yan Junyu, who was flushed with anger, with deep meaning in her eyes, "You’re right, whoever marries me, the Commandery Princess, is indeed wretched. Therefore, it would be my pleasure to bring such misery upon you. Are you satisfied now?"
