It took a full day before Wu Jian was fully recovered. He would have liked to say that his time spent convalescing had been relaxing, but the truth was that it had been anything but. Mei Xilan had been visiting him almost every day--much to Hou Jingshu’s frustration. He didn’t know why the young princess disliked Mei Xilan so much, but apparently, something about the cold woman’s attitude rubbed her the wrong way.
Wu Jian was smart enough to understand what was going on here, at least. He knew that Mei Xilan had some kind of feelings for him. A woman would not invest so much time and attention on a person they felt nothing for, but the biggest question on his mind was why? Why had she suddenly started paying so much attention to him? Was it because he defeated her? That couldn’t be all there was to it, could there?
