'If she wanted to made me into the bad guy that much, I will entertain her. After all, we must treat the guest as nice as possible', Li Xi Rui smirked. Ah~ it seems like Li Xi Rui has been smirking too much these days. Adapting to her role as the villain, Li Xi Rui ordered Jie-er to bring someone into the dark room.

Waiting for a while with the insane woman, Li Xi Rui nearly lost her composure. Her villainess mask almost slips off. The woman keeps on shouting and cursing Li Xi Rui.

"I was the one who saw him first! Why did he fall in love with you instead of me?! I never show my bad side to him. Why?! Why?! Why?! It is supposed to be me! Me! Me! Me!", the lady shouted until her voice hoarse. "I admit; I was the one drugged you that night! Even my brother is infatuated with your face! If it wasn't because he wanted you so much, you wouldn't be able to escape that night!!!!! Such a stupid older brother!".

'This woman! When did Long Jie fall in love with me? Didn't you have eyes? Long Jie keeps on finding faults with me and being angry, when had he fall in love with me?', thought Li Xi Rui. Long Jie's attitude has long confuses her. The abnormality of his attitude just doesn't show how much he loves her. It was like a boy teasing the girl he likes and Li Xi Rui wasn't aware of this fact.

*STEPS* From outside, several steps could be heard. As the door open, a handsome man with purple robe could be seen. Who could it be if it wasn't the Second Prince, Long Jie? While he stood near Li XI Rui, his servants could be seen bringing some more lanterns in. With the added lanterns, the original dark room become bright as if the sun is up on their head.

"Second Prince~ Help me! This woman traps me in here. She wanted to harm me!", the lady in yellow made a pitiful face. But with her disarray hair, her soiled clothes and her tied up body, she just seems insane. As for why she thought she could ask for help from Long Jie, it's because the second prince had been helping her whenever she has conflicts with Li Xi Rui in the past. Although, it was not intentional on Long Jie's part.

"Miss Wei, long time no see", greeted Long Jie nonchalantly. It was as if they had just met on the street rather than in the dark room where she is tied. He just stood behind Li Xi Rui and ignored the tied crazy lady. He never did like the miss. Wasn't this miss who always argue with his Xi Rui? He still could remember the day this miss tries to harm Li XI Rui during moon viewing banquet.

"Hubby~ This miss has been talking about you all day. Why did you attract bees and butterflies all over? I am not happy!", Li Xi Rui said coquettishly. While she said all these, she keeps an eye on Miss Wei's expression. 'Yes, what could have been crueler than looking at your beloved with some other woman?' Li Xi Rui understood this fact the most. In the past, wasn't she also like that?

The miss in front of her had been spreading rumors about her, trying to harm her, drugging her and even trying to kill her! She is not that kind to just forgive everything this woman had done. This time, she won't just let her off without a scratch! She will first destroy her sanity. Wasn't that such a villainess thing?

While Long Jie stared at Li Xi Rui, Miss Wei try her best to reign in her temper. She had been acting as a delicate miss in front of Long Jie. She didn't want the second prince to hate her. "Second Prince please don't fall on her tricks", her tone pleading.

Long Jie seems lost in thought. Secretly he felt happy that Xi Rui had call him hubby. 'Hubby!', he replayed the word over and over in his mind. He likes it a lot!

"Hubby~", Li Xi Rui pouted while holding Long Jie's hand. But Long Jie just stiffened more. It seems like the combination of the nickname, touch and Li Xi Rui's pout are just too much for him.

The lady in yellow also thought this way but for different reasons. "Don't touch him with your filthy hands! You whore! Second Prince, don't be deceived with that face. This woman is just a broken shoe. She is even pregnant with the scum's baby!", Miss Wei screamed again with a shrill.

If looks could kill, Li Xi Rui would have been dead right now from the piercing stare of Miss Wei.

This displeases Long Jie! What is this woman doing scolding his wife in front of him? Isn't the scum she's cursing is none other than himself?

But before he could strangle the woman, Li Xi Rui interrupted, "Hubby~ You are indeed a beast that night. Definitely not a scum!". Li Xi Rui hugs Long Jie as if she was consoling him. 'See if you are not angry till dead!', thought Li Xi Rui. She really feels like a villain now.

Catching the meaning of Li Xi Rui's words, Miss Wei shouted again, "That's impossible! No! No! No! Second Prince, please say that is not true". Miss Wei tears fall upon her cheeks. She is desperate for any form of denial from Long Jie's mouth. Even if Long Jie lied, as long as he says it from his own mouth, she would believe it.

What Miss Wei had forgotten is her own worth in Long Jie's eyes. Long Jie never have any feeling towards her. For him, Miss Wei is like a mosquito passing through. If she annoyed him, the mosquito would easily have been squashed till dead!

"Miss Wei, this prince would appreciate if you refrain from using such vulgar words towards my princess consort and our child. It seems like after being demoted as a commoner, your actions become more and more crude. But this prince really has to praise marquis Wei. He dares to deceive the court and violates the imperial edict. Let see what will happen to your father if the emperor heard about this", Long Jie threatened the crying lady. What he wanted to do is kill the woman in front of him for dirtying his Xi Rui's eyes.

Contrary to what Miss Wei had believed, the second prince in front of her is not that like what she expected. Where is that 'kind' prince? Was that just an illusion? Was she mistaken all along? She remembers the first time she fell in love with him. She remembers the day he first saw Li Xi Rui. At that time, she saw the way he looked at Li Xi Rui. She understands that look. It was the same way she looks at him. Feeling jealous, she began harassing Li Xi Rui. She had thought, that the second prince will eventually let go of his feeling. Instead, Long Jie paid more attention to Li Xi Rui.

For other people, Long Jie's attitude towards Li Xi Rui showed how much he hated Li Xi Rui. But in her eyes, his attitude just shows how much he'd been affected by Li Xi Rui. For a man like Long Jie who always stayed away from other woman, this change is abnormal. And now looking at the indifference in his eyes, Miss Wei finally realized the truth; the second Prince never saw anyone but Li Xi Rui. Realizing her obsessed love for him is unreciprocated, she let her tears fall. The dirty Miss Wei become even dirtier and appalling.

In fact, Long Jie never show his 'kind' self to miss Wei. What she saw is really just her illusion. The illusion born from the feeling of love. When someone fall in love, everything about that person seems endearing. You could see no other but that person. You could spot that person in the crowd. You will always think about that person. This was the feeling Miss Wei have towards Long Jie, Long Jie towards Li Xi Rui and Li Xi Rui towards Long Qing.
