“Eh? Did Bo Jinyan give you this ring?”
Bo Jinyan’s gaze darkened when he said that. He had seen the ring beforehand. He had wanted to take it off of her initially, but she had held onto it tightly. Seeing how much she liked it after waking up, he had decided not to force her to throw it away.
“Then give me your other hand. I’ll put it on for you.” Upon saying that, Yu Lingfeng took her other hand.
He was just about to put the ring on her when she was pulled into Bo Jinyan’s embrace.
“A ring is not something you can wear casually.”
Yu Lingfeng glared at him unhappily. “What?”
“Only her other half can put a ring on her finger.”
“I am her brother.”
“Therefore, you can’t put it on her finger.”
“…”
“Eh? Who is this?” A married lady sized up Ye Erruo from the side.
She was standing by Bo Jinyan’s side and he was holding her wrist, so it was not hard to take notice of her. Most importantly, their First Prince was about to put a ring on the girl’s finger…
At that moment, a ton of gazes landed on Ye Erruo.
“Who is this lady?”
“Is she the girl the Prince admires?”
“Wow! Which family is she from? How come she is so lucky?”
As the voices got louder, more and more attention was directed their way.
Bo Jinyan hurriedly released Ye Erruo.
“I am…”
“She is my godsister!” Bo Jinyan said coldly.
“This is Young Master Bo’s godsister? Oh my god!”
Yu Lingfeng smiled evilly. “Brother-in-law, go and spend some time with my sister. I am going to take this lady out to get some air. If my sister sees the two of you together, she will not be happy.”
Bo Jinyan furrowed his brows and got ready to speak when the Queen’s voice was heard.
“Jinyan, you have been engaged to my daughter since a young age. Now that my daughter has been found, it’s time to talk about your marriage.”
“Yes, that’s right! Young Master Bo and the princess are childhood sweethearts. They had a really close relationship.”
“The two of them are a match made in heaven. Ha ha!”
“Now that the princess is back, Young Master Bo must be ecstatic.”
While people were discussing Gu Feirou and Bo Jinyan’s marriage, Yu Lingfeng led Ye Erruo out.
Bo Jinyan tightened and loosened his fist, wanting to follow after them but feeling unable to do so. He could only brace himself and answer the Queen, “The Queen is right. The marriage will proceed according to the Queen’s arrangements.”
“Rou, when would you like to get married?”
Gu Feirou glanced at Bo Jinyan before saying, “I do not want to leave Mother yet. I have yet to fulfill my filial responsibilities as a daughter.”
The crowd instantly broke out into compliments for Gu Feirou once again.
“Forget it. You’ve just returned, so spend more time with Jinyan, interact, and cultivate your relationship. The two of you can decide when you would like to get married.” The Queen indulged them.
“Thank you, Mother.”
The banquet proceeded normally.
“We would like to invite the princess and Young Master Bo to have the first dance.”
CLAP! CLAP! CLAP! Thunderous applause was heard as everyone retreated to the side.
The lights in the palace were turned off, leaving only two rows of candles to illuminate Gu Feirou and Bo Jinyan.
The masks they were wearing created a sense of mystery.
Bo Jinyan walked forward expressionlessly. It was a good thing that Xiao Ruo was not around right now.
“The princess and the prince are so compatible.”
“An ideal match made in heaven. Tsk, tsk, tsk…”
“Young Master Bo has waited for the princess for many years. They will definitely be blessed with happiness in the future.”
Bo Jinyan stepped forward and bowed before reaching with his hand for Gu Feirou.
She bowed as well before she began the first dance with him.
“I will not marry you,” she told Bo Jinyan softly. He was not worthy of her princess status at all.
