"Cause you're younger than me." He smirked and continued to ruffle her hair.
"That's a stupid excuse!" She pushed his hand away and said, "My hair is dirty by the way."
He shrugged and stood up. "Now that you're feeling better, let's get you cleaned up. By the way, why didn't you wear the dress I got you? At least that's more proper than this."
"It's ugly..." she lied while looking aside guiltily. She could tell that the dress Han Ye got her was expensive, but she could not wear it... and she did not want to admit to him why. Then seemingly as if she wanted to hide her true feeling about the dress, she then asked, "What's wrong with this dress? It's expensive!"
Han Ye wanted to say otherwise, but instead, he said, "Well, it doesn't suit you. I'll get you something. They have lots of dresses here that they keep aside for guests."
"Why?"
Not sure if you guys noticed yet, but I'm writing a third book now - "The Wrath of the Dragon Empress".
It's my second attempt at a fantasy book (the first failed spectacularly...). It's a weak-to-strong book...well, more like strong-to-weak-to-strong book... I don't even know how to categorize it.
Anyway, if interested, do check it out (but keep giving SS to TPM, ok? hehe)
