Irrational Understanding

  The Emperor expression remained the same and he responded in the same flat tone, "As I said... Irrational."

Lei Xing raised a questioning eyebrow at him and when he did not say any more. She took a deep breath and went, "...Well then, I'll leave you alone to your irrational thoughts." She flatly said and turned to leave, irritated. But the Emperor quickly closed the gap between them and stopped in front of her, grabbing onto her arms and started, "Xing er'-"

"What?" Lei Xing coldly asked with a frown.

The Emperor blinked at her, a bit taken aback by her harsh tone. He knit his brows in annoyance, he was not trying to upset her or start an argument. It was just that he was not happy with everything going on and seeing Prince Yi holding and ogling her did nothing for his mood. What made it even worse was that she just stood there...so yes, he was a bit annoyed with her - Well, not her exactly, it was at her lack of reaction.
