Chapter 55: He Met Her Twelve Years Later Than Yuan Xuan

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Inside the banquet hall, Shao Yibai noted that Yuan Xuan’s gaze was still glaring in Wu Ze’s direction. This insidious man was clearly somewhat uneasy.

This jerk by the name of Shao Yibai felt that he should try his best to point out some of the other party’s behaviors, even if he needed to be a bad friend to do so. That person would not change if he did not tell him the truth to wake him up, much less felt that he was getting what he deserved!

“You’re fortunate to have such a beautiful wife.”

“It’s extremely normal to have several competitive rivals for a beauty like her. Hence, women cannot simply be captured by relying on sheer force. On the contrary, you need to understand certain appropriate behaviors as well.”

Shao Yibai saw through Yuan Xuan’s insecurities with one look.

This young handsome man from the Capital City was rumored to be otherworldly. However, he had now turned into one of the experts on romance problems who generally appeared on the eight o’clock shows...

Yuan Xuan’s anger subsided and he started to ponder. During those two years, he had indeed hurt the woman’s heart and allowed another man to comfort her.

As of now, he knew that indulging his rival was equivalent to asking for trouble but it was too late now.

“That stupid woman openly accepted his champagne-colored rose...”

He shook the wine glass in his hand. When he thought of the woman’s expression earlier despite her usual indifference, Yuan Xuan’s complexion got darker.

Recalling Wu Ze’s expression when he looked at Mu Chenyan earlier, he felt extremely constricted as if his heart was being crushed by a rock.

Shao Yibai sneered, his devilishly handsome face bewitching everyone.

“You’re the king of this territory so you’re destined to face numerous rivals! Let me remind you that it seemed like your grandmother has arranged another good show for you. You’re the male lead so make sure you perform well!”

Shao Yibai purposely spoke vaguely to keep Yuan Xuan in suspense. From the looks of it, it seemed like he knew bits and pieces of inside information.

Yuan Xuan raised his eyebrows. He was extremely displeased with Shao Yibai’s secretive attitude.

“Did you get some new information from Old Mistress earlier?”

Old Mistress regarded Shao Yibai as one of her own children and loved him as such. After several years without meeting him, the old grandmother held Shao Yibai’s hand and asked him lots of questions while they were in the lounge in the back hall earlier. While she was rambling on, perhaps certain matters had accidentally slipped out as she was speaking to Shao Yibai just now?

Shao Yibai looked like he was taking pleasure in the other party’s pain. He swirled the wine in his glass he smiled sinisterly and diverted the topic.

“Luo Hai is truly a great place. The land is fertile and the water is fresh while the women here are also excellent. In comparison to the women in Capital City, women here have fairer and healthier skin...”

“Shao Yibai, don’t you dare beat around the bush with me! I’ll f*cking...” (TN: Since there’s no English equivalent for “lao zi” to imply that Yuan Xuan was behaving rudely, the curse word was added to imply the same effect.)

Yuan Xuan, a godlike man, only exposed his crude side in front of Shao Yibai.

“Hey hey hey, you’re also a cultured person. You’re the number one young man among Luo Hai’s aristocratic families, so which noble son would actually open their mouth and curse like that?”

Despite being the one who always cursed while they were in the army camp, Shao Yibai was unrelenting nonetheless.

The new contraband recruits and rookies under him frequently got scolded badly by him because their physical stamina was too weak and their attack skills were inferior. Thus, it was truly outrageous for Yuan Xuan to curse in front of him now!

Yuan Xuan did not want to argue with him. His gaze caught sight of Mu Chenyan walking out of the washroom from another direction, and he strode to her direction.

Yuan Xuan currently resembled an injured cornered beast. He was worried sick that the prey which he had fought hard and suffered critical injuries to get had entered the line of vision of another powerful rival.

Wu Ze gazed at Mu Chenyan’s slender figure from the corner. He initially wanted to walk over and chat with her.

Ever since the court’s verdict was reversed and she was released from prison, he had never had the opportunity to speak with her privately unless it was related to the case.

However, he paused in his steps when he saw Yuan Xuan’s hurried footsteps.

Deep in his heart, he was extremely conscious of the fact that these two people are a married couple.

Regardless of how Mu Chenyan viewed Yuan Xuan in her heart, this relationship could not be broken. If he got close to Mu Chenyan without permission, he would become ‘the other man’.

With the marriage certificate in place, Wu Ze felt he would not even stand a chance to engage in a fair competition even as a kind-hearted man...

He had met her twelve years later than Yuan Xuan!
