Purple Dawn Till Dusk: Dearest through the time

Chapter 275: Big thief and little thief...

"Young Miss Senja is too humble." Xiao Wang Wei clenched his jaw.

On the surface, his mien was to the tee, without a hint of viciousness. But, Senja knew better, he was masking his irritation.

"It's so unfortunate that Young Miss Sana couldn't decipher the letter successfully."

Senja's words were rubbing salt on his wound and that was exactly what she wanted.

"Yes, that was unfortunate." Now, Xiao Wang Wei was taking short breaths.

"Wonder what would've happened if she'd succeeded in deciphering it." Senja drawled. "Perhaps the matter in Q City would've ended in a different way."

Senja's last sentence startled him. He had indeed eaten a loss because of this matter. His plan to scheme against Xiao Tianyao was down the drain the moment Sana had lost the letter. But Senja actually knew about this?

In fact, Senja didn't know the details about Q City, it was Xiao Tianyao who had inadvertently mentioned it before.

"Prince Xiao Wu Xie should choose wisely the person that you can trust." Senja sounded a vague advice.

She alluded that Sana had let slip something about it. After all, Sana had made an attempt to turn her back against him when she had secretly met Xiao Tianyao and hid the truth that she needed 3 days to decipher the letter, when in actuality she had grasped its content at the very first time.

Xiao Wu Xie's was now trembling in rage. If Sana wasn't a noble lady and a niece of Leader Mo at that, he would've chopped the girl off!

Right at that time, Hu Feng was walking towards him with three big boxes in his small hands. He walked straight into Xiao Wu Xie's back, however, before he could bump into it, Senja exclaimed. "Be careful!"

Senja moved swiftly and held the boxes in place before they'd drop to the ground. Both Senja and Hu Fend were standing too close to Xiao Wang Wei forcing him to step aside.

Seeing that the little boy had almost knocked him over, his anger rose to the sky. He was about to open his mouth when Senja shouted at the little boy.

"What were you thinking?! You almost bumped into Prince Xiao Wu Xie. Apologize to him!"

Hu Feng slumped to the ground and apologized earnestly by his feet. Xiao Wu Xie wanted to scold him harshly, but Senja had beat him to it.

"Prince Xiao Wu Xie, Senja will excuse herself. I will make sure to teach him a good lesson." Afterwards she ordered Hu Feng to stand up and left the disgruntled Xiao Wu Xie.

At some distance from him, Senja whispered to Hu Feng beside her, "You got it?"

Hu Feng nodded cheekily and handed a jade token from under his sleeve. Senja quickly took it and put it away inside her pocket.

"You see? I didn't lie when I told him I would teach him a good lesson." She declared proudly.

Hu Feng's lips twitched. **It was indeed a good lesson**

........

It took a whole day to travel back to M City. There was a slight change though. Xiao Jun needed to go somewhere first before he headed to Q City, so he would follow their little entourage halfway.

They stopped at a restaurant at noon to have their lunch. Yang Yu had booked a big private room for them when they arrived.

After having their lunch, Senja insisted on strolling about the town to digest her food before she had to sit inside the carriage again. Her feet cramped.

Senja bought many things for herself with Yang Yu, Yoda and Hu Feng treading on her heels, before she made her way back to the restaurant.

When she was about to open door of their private room, Xiao Jun pulled the handle.

"Prince Xiao Jun?" Senja tilted her head questioningly.

Xiao Jun grinned at her. "I saw Xiao Tianyao and you earlier."
