"Little Ze, are you planning to take a first aid kit to the party?" The ceremoniously dressed Lu Xiufan inquired as he entered the room and saw Shang Ze preparing a first aid kit, with the suit Lu Xiufan had requested neatly folded and untouched on the bed.
"Just a precaution." Shang Ke responded as he checked the medical instruments and medicine without lifting his head. Lu Xiufan often encounters assassination attempts, during which poisoning was a serious possibility. According to the information provided by the System, Lu Xiufan has been poisoned at least thirty-five times, and although he hasn't been hurt so far despite the attempts, who knows when that might change? Either way, it's always good to be prepared.
Lu Xiufan enjoyed seeing Shang Ke worrying over him like a newlywed wife; it gave him an indescribable sense of satisfaction.
Instead of disturbing Shang Ke, Lu Xiufan quietly watched from the sidelines, waiting until Shang Ke finished organizing the box before saying, "Hurry and change into the suit, we're getting ready to leave."
"There's still three hours before the banquet starts, and it only takes fifteen minutes to get to the palace from the mansion. We still have plenty of time." Shang Ke closed the first aid kit and put it on the ground, before finally picking up the suit and heading to the changing room.
Lu Xiufan casually followed with his hands clasped behind his back.
Shang Ke heard the footsteps behind him and the corners of his lips twitched imperceptibly. Don't think that simply feigning absent-mindedness will allow you to sneak into the dressing room!
Shang Ke calmy closed the dressing room door, leaving Lu Xiufan firmly on the outside.
Lu Xiufan: "......" He'd followed so closely, yet he was still too slow to avoid the boot.
After only a moment, the newly dressed Shang Ke returned from the changing room. Lu Xiufan's eyes brightened, Shang Ke's appearance was already outstanding, but changing into such an exquisite suit enhanced his elegant, aloof expression, and he was exuding an austere and refined aura.
This person belongs to him. With scorching eyes, Lu Xiufan placed a hand around his waist, whispering, "Let's go, partner."
Today was the 14th birthday of Prince Yi Yun, and the Queen was hosting a grand dinner banquet, inviting many of the nobles. Many of the major network's reporters flocked outside the palace, eagerly photographing the event.
Lu Xiufan was usually fairly low-profile, but as the Queen Consort's brother, and the Prince's uncle, it was difficult to not be noticed at this event. The instant he stepped out of the car, the surrounding crowd was roused and started to cry out for him, flashes of light blinding him one after the other.
Almost immediately, Shang Ke, the person accompanying Lu Xiufan, also attracted immense attention. Lu Xiufan had never before brought a partner with him to banquets—Shang Ke was the first. His appearance and manners were exceptional even among a crowd of handsome men and beautiful women. Even standing next to Lu Xiufan, he wasn't overshadowed or outshined.
Who was this young man? Reporters quickly began digging into Shang Ke's identity.
Yue Xuan had tried suppressing Yue Ze with all his might, hoping that he'd die in obscurity. However, after this banquet, Shang Ke's identity could no longer be hidden. Yue Family was one of the top one hundred major families, so even though Yue Ze rarely came to the capital, in the Luo Xu region they were well known. With his picture in hand, reporters easily discovered his identity.
Everyone wanted to pay their respects to Lu Xiufan and Shang Ke the instant they entered the banquet hall, however, no one dared get within three meters of them. With Lu Xiufan's exceptional background and prestige, even the powerful officials kept a respectful distance. The only ones willing to brave the invisible boundary were mostly crazy men or desparate women.
