Chapter 44: She’s His!
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Chao Bai stood where he was, thinking about how to confirm who in this residence had the soul of that body.
Before he could think of a way, the pageboy standing at the door waved at him impatiently. “Leave quickly! This isn’t a place for you to stay!”
Chao Bai frowned and was about to retort when he heard discussions in the distance. “Have you heard? Miss Li is actually going to fight the princess next!”
“How can that be? The princess is participating too?” Someone exclaimed, “I thought that since the Li family gave up the spot for the princess to compete, she wouldn’t have to compete anymore!”
“That should be the case, but during the draw, for some reason, that little girl drew the nameplate with the princess’s name written on it.”
“The queen probably asked someone to put it in. After all, the princess has the little phoenix with her this time. It’s impossible for her not to compete!”
“Don’t say that!” Someone immediately stopped them from criticizing the royal family.
However, someone quickly raised a different opinion. “But didn’t the princess fight with Miss Li at the beginning?”
“That’s right! This…” A group of people walked past Chao Bai in confusion.
As Chao Bai listened to them, he looked up at the residence in front of him. “Is this the family they were talking about?”
“Then… could it be… her?” Chao Bai said, subconsciously touching the ring.
After the crowd passed, a carriage pulled by three brown and red horses arrived at the entrance of the Li residence.
The carriage was made of mahogany. The windows on both sides were covered with mat curtains so that no one could see inside.
One of the grooms raised his whip and snapped a few times before the three horses stopped.
When the servants at the entrance of the Li residence saw the carriage, they immediately ran forward.
The carriage stopped beside Chao Bai.
If he had taken even half a step to the left, his feet would have been crushed by the thick wheels.
The servant pushed Chao Bai away and said fiercely, “Don’t get in the way!”
Then, he smiled again and stood slightly hunched at the side of the carriage. “Miss is back!”
Before the servant could reach Chao Bai, he dodged.
If that servant had really touched his clothes, that servant probably would have lost a hand already!
Chao Bai brushed the nonexistent dust off his body and tilted his head slightly to look at the place where the curtain of the carriage was lifted.
The Li family?
Miss?
Was the person in the carriage the one he was looking for?
For some reason, Chao Bai actually felt a trace of nervousness and excitement.
There was no response from the carriage. After the curtain was lifted, a little girl in emerald green clothes jumped out of the carriage first. She cursed at the servant, “Don’t get in the way! Get lost!”
The servant still had a fawning smile on his face as he hurriedly hid to the side.
The little girl reached out and called into the carriage, “Miss, please go ahead!”
“Okay…” A delicate voice sounded from the carriage, then a fair and delicate hand rested on the little girl’s hand.
When Chao Bai heard that voice, he felt that something was wrong.
He suddenly lost interest in seeing that person’s appearance.
But if that person really had the soul of this body…
He would probably return the body to her and leave!
He had no interest in being entangled with such a prissy woman.
The woman finally emerged from the car.
With the little girl’s help, the woman got out of the carriage.
She was wearing a light yellow dress and had a headgear embellished with beads and jade. If one didn’t know better, they would think that she was a lady from a jade shop trying to show off!
Chao Bai looked at the woman and subconsciously pressed his hand against the ring on his fingertip.
‘Please don’t light up!’
‘It couldn’t possibly be her!’
This time, the ring didn’t disappoint.
The ring that would emit a red glow when it sensed the soul in the body didn’t react at all.
Chao Bai secretly heaved a sigh of relief. Fortunately, it wasn’t this person!
Then there was still hope. He had to find the soul of this body!
She was his!
