“Let the young master’s friend drink his tea,” Song Jia said in her soft voice. Tianji nodded and told Huang Xi to finish the tea soon.

Huang Xi chuckled to see Tianjie’s behavior. How could he change so much in front of a woman? He wondered and sipped the tea. His tongue ended up getting burned when Song Jia asked him to be careful. Tianjie did not like that Huang Xi was getting attention, but he let it go.

Once Huang Xi left after finishing the tea, Tianjie got the chance to resume his conversation with Song Jia.

“I am grateful to Miss Song for giving me the pleasure to drink tea with her,” Tianjie said.

Song Jia smiled at him and picked up the teacup. She brought it near her mouth and sipped the tea. Tianjie peered at her, whose eyelids were down. His heart fluttered just by looking at her.

“What does the Young Master do?” Song Jia asked as he placed the teacup on the saucer.

“I work-” he paused as he was unable to form the right words, “how should I explain this? I work as an administrator in the government.” He somehow tried to answer her question in the most simple manner.

“I want to give a present to Miss Song. I hope she likes it,” Tianjie said with a slightly nervous tone. He took out the ring box from his pocket of the upper robe and placed it on the table.

.....

“Young Master is not aware of the fact that Song Jia does not accept any present from the people,” she asserted as she looked at the ring box and then at him. She picked up the teapot and filled the teacup before him.

“May I know why she does not accept any present?” Tianjie asked. He was a little upset. This was the first time, he picked up a present for someone, after searching for the best jade ring in the town.

“Because then men will authorize their claims at me. If I would not beautiful, I do not think I would have even gotten enough attention,” Song Jia opined. Tianjie was stunned to hear her answer. He contemplated and realized that he was the same kind of person. He approached her because she was the most beautiful woman he had ever seen.

Tianjie picked up the teacup and gulped the tea.

“I will ask a question from the Young Master,” Song Jia said. “Why did he approach me? Did he also get mesmerized by my beauty?” she queried.

Tianjie placed the cup on the saucer. His mind told him to lie, but there was something that stopped him from lying. In front of this woman, he did not want to lie.

He nodded his head and peered into her orbs. “Yes. I approached you because I never encountered a beautiful woman like you.” He take a short pause, “I fell for Miss Song at the first sight,” he truthfully admitted what his heart felt.

Song Jia smiled to hear that sudden confession. It was nothing new for her. She was proposed to by many such men. However, there was one thing that separated Tianjie from the other men. He was truthful about his feelings. He did not flourish them with words or poems.

“I am a dancer. I do not think that fit in the Young Master’s world,” Song Jia proclaimed.

A realization hit Tianjie. Will his father even allow this marriage? But something more came to his mind. Jin Yu married Xiaoming. Her status was also low with undefined family background. When they could get married, then he could do the same.

However, there was one more problem. He lacked power, unlike the Crown Prince. He was a concubine’s son. He was a bit leaned toward power and authority as well. He had thought that if he married a woman from a strong noble family, his future is secured.

He looked at Song Jia again. He had fallen for her and he wanted her to be his wife. But those conflicted thoughts created a mess in his mind.

Upon getting no response from Tianjie, she understood that Tianjie was similar to those men whom she had encountered till now. Now, there was complete silence between the two and they finished the tea soon. Tianjie stood up and took his leave when Song Jia asked him to take the ring box with him.

Tianjie tilted his head over his shoulder to glance at her. “You are the first person for whom I bought a present with indescribable excitement. Keep it,” he said and walked out.

Huang Xi was in the courtyard of the residence and seeing Tianjie he was relieved. He found out that Tianjie was not in a good mood. Did Song Jia refuse his feelings? So, he asked him about it.

“She did not refuse them entirely,” Tianjie said and walked ahead.

“Then why is His Highness upset?” Huang Xi asked in a low voice.

“Because I think she and I cannot be together,” Tianjie stated. He was selfish for the power. Also, Song Jia was a delicate woman. What if she was unable to understand the palace? She would suffer there. It would be better for him if he focused on his aim.

Song Jia watched Tianjie heading out from the window and then, she looked at the ring box in her hand. She opened it and saw the white jade ring inside it. She never accepted anyone’s present, but this was something special. It seemed Tianjie had proposed to her for a marriage, but not entirely. Because he did not answer her question. She continued to stare at the ring for a few minutes before putting it back into the ring box.
