Beneficial Union: Chasing A Rogue Wife

Wei Jiayi frowned, not missing that she already had a fresh wound on her finger, "You get hurt a lot." His tone filled with disapproval. "Is that from the assassins?" he curiously inquired. It's just a small wound, not life-threatening.

'What are you doing? Mind your own business.' He chastised himself. Wei Jiayi did not know why he asked that, but he felt that it's right to break the awkward silence. There was also the unpleasant feeling that her being heart in the first place was unacceptable. 

'Regardless, this woman was disaster-prone.'  Wei Jiayi concluded as for him, wherever she went, she would either get wounded because of an accident or she would create a commotion.

Too bad for her future husband, she should be chained or caged after marriage to avoid unnecessary incidents. 'A spelled chain should work on her. She's too rebellious.'

Wei Jiayi thought about this subconsciously without realizing that he was not supposed to. His thoughts were already drifting to making plans like he would be her future husband...

It's weird that they were talking casually now. Even though that was the case, Gao Lan Mei did not mind.

As long as the prince was not trying anything, she would be civil and not retaliate in any way. His available resources were still worth it to have her endure and tolerate his presence

Answering him, "No. I was looking for a husband." She said dismissively. Since the rest were not close to them, Wei Jiayi was the only one who heard it. It was just the two of them near the enchanted herb.

To think that he was just thinking about her future husband being unlucky.

Hearing that, he scoffed, "What is the connection of your wound to finding a husband?" what a strange woman. She gets wounded for petty things like that, "Were you still chasing the second prince?" his tone full of scorn.

Gao Lan Mei glanced at him, "No. He is an imbecile." The woman who chased the second prince was already dead.

"You realized that just now?" With a smirk, "Good that you can think properly now. Should I congratulate you?" His tone was full of fake congratulations.

If Gao Lan Mei continued to chase the second prince, it would not be a good future for the Gao Household, that included Feng Ji who served her as well.

Amused by his attempt at taunting, she decided to ignore that remark. Saying instead, "How much more do you need?" Gao Lan Mei's blood continued to flow down her palm, dropping on the petals of the Purple Rose herb.

"It's not me who needs it." The blood drops were for recognition. It was the first offering to attempt ownership.

This woman just did not have any spiritual energy thus, having a contract with an enchanted might take longer.

Who knows how much more the herb needed to acknowledge even the attempt in changing ownership?

Deciding to not waste more time, "Do not move your hand away," Wei Jiayi then released her wrist, then with the knife he still held, he made a slash on his other hand, specifically on his palm.

After doing so, he joined both wounded hands together, both palms, blood dripping at the same time on the Purple Rose herb.

Gao Lan Mei's palm was soft, his hand almost enveloped the dainty hand. Too soft and too small for Wei Jiayi's liking.

That action made Gao Lan Mei dumbfounded, and she could not help but stare at the prince, with an inquiring gaze.

Feeling the gaze from her, "What? You're too slow." He said with a frown, dismissing any other thoughts from her.
