Baili Hongzhuang’s eyes, as dark as the abyss, were overflowing with radiant light. As expected, Xuan Yuanhuan did not recognize her!

Her appearance had changed considerably throughout the one month’s time.

She had always been treated harshly in the General Estate and after the annulment of the engagement, the neglect intensified. The food brought over by the servant got worse and worse each day and coupled with her depressed state, she became sallow and emaciated, appearing extremely ugly.

Her skin had only turned plump after one month of training, and her temperament along with her spirit was a huge contrast compared to before. She believed that even if Baili Yuyan saw her, it would be hard for her to confirm that she was Baili Hongzhuang.

After which, she briskly walked towards Di Beichen. The black and white furball had already started complaining without rest in her mind and they did not expect to be used as a cushion the very first day they came out.

“Young master, my cushions have saved you. Shouldn’t you…”

Baili Hongzhuang had yet to finish her sentence, when the golden figure turned back all of a sudden and a handsome and beautiful face appeared before her.

With a glance, Baili Hongzhuang suddenly stopped talking. Even if she heard of Lord Chen’s unrivaled appearance, she still felt shocked when she witnessed it personally.

The man’s facial features were handsome and beautiful. They could almost be said to be the epitome of perfection. His eyes shone with light that was similar to moonlight, it was so clear and resplendent.

A warm and charming smile blossomed on his unrivaled face, which was as beautiful as the deities. She felt that if it was branded into one’s heart it would be unforgettable.

While wearing golden brocade clothing, he appeared distinguished and dazzling. Just his temperament alone far exceeded Xuan Yuanhuan and the rest.

“Miss, thank you for your cushions,” said a sweet voice and Di Beichen looked at Baili Hongzhuang with a faint smile. Traces of shock flashed past his deep and bright eyes similar to an obsidian stone.

Baili Hongzhuang heard him and quickly recovered her senses. Even though he had fallen down from the third floor, it seems like he did not panic much. It appears that she had underestimated him.

Baili Hongzhuang’s slender and long fingers stretched out and a bright and cunning smile surfaced on her face. “Young master, my cushions have saved you, shouldn’t you pay me some sort of reward? A hundred gold coins would suffice!”

Having heard that, a similar trace of cunningness surfaced in Di Beichen’s eyes and yet, his handsome face appeared to be serious. “I’d have to trouble you to help me.”

Baili Hongzhuang was in doubt. What else did that guy need help for?

The next moment, under Baili Hongzhuang’s surprised gaze, she saw Di Beichen lying flat on the ground as he said, “You can try falling from the third floor and I shall be your cushion this time. That way, we would be even.”

Baili Hongzhuang’s lips twitched. Who would jump down from the third floor for no reason!?

He had the appearance of a handsome and upright man, but he was openly being shameful!

“You are a Prince and I doubt you’re thinking of defaulting on a debt?”

Baili Hongzhuang stared at Di Beichen. She originally wanted to obtain some money through this opportunity but had not expected him to be so stingy that he could even think of such a shameless method.

That’s right, he was being shameless!

“I’m not someone who defaults on my debts!” Di Beichen righteously said.

Baili Hongzhuang’s expression had eased slightly and yet, Di Beichen’s following words made her almost stomp her foot.

“However… I having nothing of value.” Di Beichen made a bitter face while deep in thought. “Why don’t I… pledge myself to you? I believe my appearance is barely acceptable.”

Baili Hongzhuang felt her temples aching. That Di Beichen had his head down and was acting like a shy young lady that was about to be married. What trouble was he trying to make?!
