Chapter 175: I wish I was a witch

[Past]

"Ruen, come here."

Rue Yim walks past Consort Song. Wang Si doesn't look pleased. His eyes have a certain suppressed anger and fear. She has never seen him like that. He has always shown a smiling or easy-going face to her. 

But she has always been aware of the fact that he has never been showing all of him to her. She isn't his family. Maybe he does consider her a family member to some extent, but she will never be close to his heart.

He will tolerate her as long as she plays by his rules. 

"I have to check on Niwa." Consort Song's tone is half-casual and half-formal. She is awkward. Perhaps, she isn't used to being caught. "Prime Minister Wang, you should take her home. It's getting cold."

In opposite, Wang Si is calm now. He presses his hand on Rue Yim's back. The touch is light and proper. He nods to Consort Song before he turns around and leads Rue Yim away.
