CHAPTER 340 (2): PROMISE YOU A LIFETIME
Pei Qianhaoâs hands stopped moving. Doesnât he know that I am alone with Su Xi-er? Why does he have to choose this time to disturb us?
âPrince Hao, Commander Wu must be in trouble. This servant will go and open the door.â Su Xi-er got up from the bed, tidied her dress, and opened the door.
When Wu Ling saw Su Xi-erâs face flushed red, along with Pei Qianhaoâs dark expression, his heart trembled. I⊠Did I disturb Prince Hao in the middle of something?
âWhatâs wrong?â Pei Qianhao sat on a chair and coldly asked.
Wu Lingâs voice couldnât help but shake slightly as he implored, âYe Qingzhu is here, and she knows that this subordinate is here as well. Prince Hao, can you think of something to help this subordinate keep her away?â
âYouâve already known for several years that she pesters you. Shouldnât you be used to it by now?â Pei Qianhaoâs voice was calm and showed an unconcerned attitude.
âThis subordinate has always treated her like a younger sister. I thought if I treated her coldly, then she would put her feelings away. I didnât know that they would instead become stronger.â Wu Lingâs face showed a vexed expression.
Su Xi-er asked, âCommander Wu, how old are you this year?â
Wu Ling was taken aback for a moment. Why is she suddenly asking me how old I am? Is she going to urge me to get married? I canât; Prince Hao isnât even married yet!
However, he couldnât think of anything else to say, and so he replied honestly. âI am younger than Prince Hao. Prince Hao hasnât even gotten married yet, so this subordinate is in no hurry.â
He didnât know that his words had annoyed someone. To imply that Iâm old in front of Su Xi-er⊠I havenât forgotten how Su Xi-er and the young and vigorous Ning Lianchen were flirting with one another.â
âWu Ling, you take care of your own things. Get lost.â Pei Qianhaoâs voice was frosty as he poured himself a cup of tea.
Wu Ling was dumbstruck. Get lost?
âCommander Wu, you should sit down and talk to Ye Qingzhu properly. If you continue to avoid her, the same situation will only repeat itself. In the end, she may even restrain you from marrying someone else. How would you know when the person you fancy may appear?â
Wu Ling mused over her words. She is right, I canât hide anymore. I should talk to Ye Qingzhu properly, for both of us.
Wu Ling started walking away, then he paused and turned around. âMiss Xi-er, how should I talk to Ye Qingzhu?â
Su Xi-er felt helpless. What is in his head? Doesnât he know how to talk to a young lady?
Wu Ling sighed before mustering up his courage and turning to Pei Qianhao. âPrince Hao, the Empress Dowager is your little sister, but she has other feelings towards you. What did you say to the Empress Dowager?â
Everyone knows that Prince Hao and the Empress Dowager has a strange relationship, but nobody dares to discuss it openly. For Wu Ling to directly ask such a question, it looks like he really felt like he was trapped in a corner by Ye Qingzhu.
Su Xi-er was also curious about this matter. The Empress Dowager had always targeted me. In fact, she is still doing so, and still hasnât given up on Pei Qianhao.
Pei Qianhao didnât get angry or annoyed. He picked up his teacup slowly and took a sip. âYou want to know?â
Wu Ling vehemently nodded. Su Xi-er also became excited.
After a while, his low and deep voice sounded. âVery simple. This Prince smashed a redwood table with my hand at the Compassionate Peace Palace.â
The corner of Wu Lingâs mouth twitched. Prince Hao is so violent. He even smashed a table at the Compassionate Peace Palace!
Su Xi-er hadnât known about this either, but felt her heart skip a beat when she heard it.
âThis subordinate cannot use Prince Haoâs method. This subordinate will withdraw.â Wu Ling cupped his hands together to pay his respects before turning to leave. This is something I must face by myself.
