When the message had ended the second time, the large VIP room fell into a weird and awkward silence.
Song Xuanhe looked at Xiao Yuanmu. cQxp2T
Xiao Yuanmu looked at Song Xuanhe.
The two of them gazed at each other. One of them was pretending to be calm while the other had no expression on his face. It was really, really awkward.
Song Xuanhe’s phone was still vibrating. When Zhou Nan had gotten no response, he continued to barrage Song Xuanhe with messages. He sent both texts and voice messages that were all full of disdain and complaint. Who knew what court drama he must have had taken inspiration from to actually call himself Nobleman Nan? He had also named Xiao Shenglin as Imperial Consort Lin and Xiao Yuanmu as the Empress. He had turned this into some big imperial court drama.
Among them, the most scummy and unbridled was naturally “Emperor” Song Xuanhe. gNJX 5
From the corner of his eye, he could see message after message appear on his phone’s screen. Song Xuanhe couldn’t keep his expression calm. He quickly turned off the screen and then forced out a laugh. “Zhou Nan’s been watching a lot of court dramas with his mother recently, hahahaha.”
Xiao Yuanmu’s eyes shifted. He looked at Song Xuanhe’s embarrassed smile and calmly asked, “Emperor?”
Song Xuanhe coughed. He had felt ashamed for some reason when he saw Xiao Yuanmu say that word with such a blank expression. At the same time, he had felt his back go cold. He continued to laugh in a fake manner, “Hahaha, Zhou Nan’s just joking.”
Xiao Yuanmu’s eyelids lowered slightly, and he came in a bit closer. He asked in a quiet voice, “How many concubines are in the Emperor’s harem?” IQHW4
Song Xuanhe didn’t know if Xiao Yuanmu was just asking or if there was a deeper meaning behind his question. In any case, he felt like the other didn’t harbour any good intentions. Song Xuanhe stared at Xiao Yuanmu’s eyelashes, which were so straight and long that they could poke someone.
“There’s no one in the harem.” Song Xuanhe watched as Xiao Yuanmu looked up. He quickly corrected, “There’s only an Empress, no concubines.”
Xiao Yuanmu’s lips seemed to curl up slightly. They then fell back down. At the same time, Zhang Chao’s voice echoed alongside the boarding notification in the VIP waiting room. “Xiao Shaoye
Xiao Shenglin said in a gentle voice, “I told her about you two just now.”
When Zhou Nan heard this, he nodded in understanding. He said, “Since no one’s going to eat the mangoes here, take it away.”
The young man looked at Song Xuanhe with red eyes, hoping that Song Xuanhe would say something in his defense. He had remembered that Song Xuanhe had liked to eat mangoes the most, especially the mangoes he cut up, because he had always been very careful whenever he did it. He would always meticulously cut around the seed, only leaving the flesh. UyxohI
Song Xuanhe naturally couldn’t read the grievances on the young man’s face. He waved his hand indifferently. “No one wants this. Take it away.”
When Zhou Nan saw how Song Xuanhe didn’t seem to feel anything for his old flame, he relaxed. His fingers that had been just about to type out a message moved away from his phone’s screen.
Seeing that no one was defending him, the young man left with the dish full of fruit, looking wronged. Zhou Nan frowned as he stared at the other’s back. “You better be more steadfast. That youngster can’t even be compared to Xiao Yuanmu’s….”
“Can’t even compare to his fingernail, I know.” Song Xuanhe interrupted him, stopping him from continuing. In a show of his “loyalty,” he said, “I will never take an interest in anyone else. I only like Xiao Yuanmu, okay?” Ut rl5
Zhou Nan pulled his finger off the voice message button and beamed, satisfied. “Xiao Yuanmu got your message.”
Song Xuanhe had just taken a sip of his wine, so he hadn’t really processed what Zhou Nan had said. He replied, “If I didn’t know better, I’d have thought you were a part of Xiao Yuanmu’s family. Why do you like him so much? And what about me makes you think that if I take so much as another look at someone, I’ll cheat?”
After having said this, he only just realized what Zhou Nan had said. He spat the wine he had just sipped back out and started coughing. With red eyes and a hoarse voice, he asked, “What exactly did Xiao Yuanmu receive?”
