993 A Scheming Prince Discovered His Love Rival

The two little ones were taken aback after hearing the statement. However, Baili Jia Jue was not infuriated in the least bit. Instead, he laughed and started to analyze with Helian Wei Wei in a serious tone, a dim light flickering at the bottom of his irises, as he asked, “Did you feel that his words were hostile?”

Helian Wei Wei nodded sheepishly.

Baili Jia Jue let out a long sigh and said, “It’s very obvious that he doesn’t want us to grow old together, just like your female classmates from earlier.”

“But, why?” Helian Wei Wei could not quite place her finger on it. “He used to treat me quite well when we were studying together.”

Quite well? Baili Jia Jue clenched his fists furiously and forcefully crumpled the napkin in his hands up, but his charming smile grew even more alluring as he replied, “Perhaps, it’s because of my existence. I’m sure you know that my handsome appearance always causes a lot of unnecessary troubles.”

“Are you saying that...” Helian Wei Wei narrowed her eyes and exclaimed quietly, “I see!”

Baili Jia Jue dabbed the corners of his mouth and said, “I think I should still elaborate a little more.”

“Not necessary!” Helian Wei Wei grabbed his hand overbearingly and looked at Xiao Zifeng in the near distance. Then, she shook her head with pity as she said, “Why haven’t I thought of it? He never had a girlfriend in school, and words say he’s been always single, so that’s why.”

The two little ones exchanged a glance and began whispering to each other, “Brother, Pretty Wei Wei can’t be thinking what I assume she’s thinking, right?”

“That’s quite likely, since Father is too shameless and can be quite ruthless when he wants to destroy people.” Baili Shangxie seemed cold, as the feeling that he should keep his younger brother away from their father grew in his heart.

The telepathy between the father and the two sons was rather accurate. Baili Jia Jue knew what the two little ones were thinking clearly, hence the quick warning glare tossed at them. Turning back, he spoke calmly as if he was describing something very common, “Wei Wei, this is still something personal for a guy, after all. It’s most likely that he doesn’t want anyone to find out.””Don’t worry, I understand.” Helian Wei Wei replied, as she ate the piece of teppanyaki beef that His Highness had put in her plate. Then, she continued quietly, “Actually, it’s quite common nowadays for a man to like another man. He need not restrain himself like this at all.”

The two little ones exchanged another glance as they screamed internally. She does really think that!

His Highness was beyond satisfied that Helian Wei Wei came to his desired conclusion, and thus resumed feeding his Little Phoenix with a lingering smile.

Although the first half of the meal was somewhat dramatic, everyone who came for the class reunion enjoyed themselves in the end.

On top of that, the Emperor Hotel had specially prepared a cake for them, with all the classmates’ names written on it.

Professor Yuan was an outstanding teacher and treated each student well. When the event approached its end, he reached out and patted every student’s shoulder with a proud beaming expression.

Robert originally wanted to catch up with Helian Wei Wei, but after some observation, his splendid lawyer instincts told him that he had better not flirt with Wei Wei in front of that man. So, he acted wisely and left with Professor Yuan.

Since it was such a rare occasion that everyone enjoyed themselves, some students even stayed back to sing karaoke.

As Xiao Zifeng watched the lady laughing and smiling among the crowd, an irresistible urge pushed him to give it another try.

Although he had already decided to give them his blessings...

He still felt that the man would perhaps cherish Wei Wei even more, if he made him feel insecure.

Xiao Zifeng raised his gaze, as he stubbed out the cigarette in his hands against the ashtray. Then, he ambled toward Helian Wei Wei and said, “May I have a moment with you?”

Helian Wei Wei held mixed feelings toward Xiao Zifeng after hearing His Highness’ advice. After a few moments of hesitation, she nodded generously and said, “Sure.”

Baili Jia Jue was signing his name on the paper that was brought by the hotel manager, as the chairman’s signature was required in order to waive the bill.

The two little ones were extremely confused. Is Father not going to stop them from speaking alone?

“Father, don’t tell me that you’re trying to flaunt how much of a gentleman you are.” Inside Baili Shangxie’s heart, his Imperial Father was always as cunning as a fox and was not gentlemanly at all.

Baili Jia Jue simply sat there with his legs crossed, as he lowered his luxurious ball pen onto the table. Slowly, he responded, “Why? Is it very odd?”

“Very odd indeed!” Little Qingchen nodded and walked toward Baili Jia Jue with his devil plush toy in his arms. Then, he stared at his father with his large, beady eyes, hoping to pry anything out of him.

Baili Jia Jue let out a laugh and supported his chin with his fingers lazily, the same dim glow flickering within his eyes. “You see, in order for some people to give up entirely, they need a little bit of private time together.”

Baili Shangxie could not read his Imperial Father’s mind, so he looked away and held his younger brother’s hand. He had decided to look at what their mother and that person Xiao would be talking about.

The two little ones could hide very easily. They only had to squat down around the corner like little mushrooms to hear the conversation along the corridor.

“Wei Wei.” Xiao Zifeng gazed at the starlight beyond the corridor, the corner of his lips formed a gentle smile as he said in a tone lower than usual, “There’s something that I’ve been holding inside for a long time and I feel that I must tell you.”

Helian Wei Wei’s eyes twinkled as she thought. Is he going to come out so directly now?

Xiao Zifeng turned his head around and met Helian Wei Wei’s eyes. Though he did not know what was so exciting for her, he had always felt that this was the girl that he had fallen in love all along. From then until now, she had never changed. She always had that empress-like aura but for some reason, she also seemed soft and gentle.

“Speak whatever’s on your mind.” Helian Wei Wei felt that she ought to be comforting him at this moment and added, “But, don’t force yourself if you can’t.”

“Okay.” Xiao Zifeng stared at those beautiful, starry eyes of hers and could feel his heartbeat in his throat. He had apparently overestimated himself, as he gradually realized that he simply could not control just how much he liked her. “Actually, I-I...”

Helian Wei Wei was a secret agent, so she could inevitably feel his intense nervousness, which ultimately softened her heart. With a light tone, she interrupted him mid-sentence, “I know what you want to say.”

“You knew?” Xiao Zifeng was startled, as his irises began to tremble.

Helian Wei Wei answered yes solemnly and reached out to pat his shoulder, saying, “It’s not your fault that your sexual orientation is different, I promise to keep this secret for you. I know the reason you’re telling me is that you see me as your friend, and even Jue had reminded me that you’ll be looking for me. What I’m trying to say is that no matter who you like, whether male or female, as long as you don’t snatch my man, I’ll support you all the way as a friend!”

He ought to be touched, right!

Helian Wei Wei was very satisfied with herself. At least, she managed to find a good friend from school. She used to only have male classmates who were best friends with her.

Handsome Xiao actually regarded me with such importance, so His Highness must be right!

The two little ones were at an utter loss of words.
