My Scheming Little Devil-Chapter 1850: Raging Jealousy
And that Wu Bai, who is he? Last time, he was still a soldier in Yalan Country, and in the blink of an eye, he appeared in the Aus Empire’s court.
Ling Kong’s face darkened suddenly, and his eyes were unfathomable. What is his background? In any case, this man is worth noting.
Moreover, he had the audacity to grow fur and come to snatch away his little bride. He should not expect forgiveness unless he’s ready to meet God; otherwise, there will be no letting him off.
With a crunching sound, Ji Lingkong viciously crushed the wine bottle in his hand, lifting his chin arrogantly.
Yes, Ling Kong is precisely such a willful sea of jealousy.
However, this time, it truly soured his heart and soul.
He must quickly end the battle here and rush back to reclaim the person. He absolutely cannot let the illicit relationship between those two continue to develop; it must be ruthlessly severed.
"Young Master Ling Kong, are you alright?" Lie Fengzi asked in trembling disbelief. Her worldview was shattered as she blankly stared at Ling Kong, who was burning with fierce jealousy.
"Miss Duke, what are you doing here?" Ling Kong turned his head, frowning, but his intense emotions were instantly concealed, reverting back to that noble elegance in front of others.
Seeing this, Lie Fengzi’s heart sank even more. Only in front of someone intimate would he show his true emotions. Clearly, he considered her an outsider.
"The General noticed you were missing and was worried, so he sent me to check on you." She forced a smile, pretending nonchalance as she told a lie.
But her heart was in turmoil, filled to the brim with disbelief about what she had just seen and heard.
It turned out that this councilman’s son invited that country girl to the conferment ceremony, and she was just a last-minute substitute. A strong sense of humiliation surged over her, filling her with hatred. As the proud daughter of a duke, she surpassed this inconspicuous girl a hundred times in beauty, family background, and education.
Yet now, she was merely a stand-in for that girl.
This was the greatest shame, an intolerable disgrace.
Moreover, she had been overjoyed and proud at the thought of personally pinning the medal on him, but that woman disdained the opportunity and stood up Young Master Ling Kong. Who did she think she was, so easily obtaining the man she most admired and worshiped, yet not treasuring him?
She even went to the court banquet to flirt with men, truly a despicable woman.
How could she be worthy of the man before her?
She absolutely could not tolerate such an incompatible combination.
"Thank you for your concern, Miss Duke," Ling Kong politely replied with a faint smile.
Lie Fengzi’s heart ached. She had thought he liked her, admired her, which was why he was so politely friendly, but now she realized it was genuine aloofness. She would rather he be as emotionally exposed as he was before, expressing his joy and anger outwardly.
But recalling that rustic, infatuated girl, biting a cake and dropping it upon seeing a handsome man, she snorted coldly with disdain.
Young Master Ling Kong probably just found such a type of girl fresh and interesting, but didn’t necessarily like her that much. She was convinced his taste wasn’t that poor.
Playing around is one thing, but marriage is another matter. She was still confident of a great victory.
"Young Master Ling Kong seems in a bad mood. Unfortunately, I’m clumsy at comforting others and don’t know how to cheer you up. Also, I’ll be leaving here tonight, unable to alleviate your distress. I’m truly sorry." Lie Fengzi smiled brightly and warmly, as if she were a considerate and tender woman.
