Song Xuanhe thought that this was really awkward.

But what was even more awkward was that because he had pressed down on the message a second time just as it had ended, it played again. It was like the message was playing on surround sound as if it was tangibly encircling Xiao Yuanmu, who was currently looking at him.

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. PKmc9F

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.

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?" DeEr47

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, Young Master Xiao, we should board the plane."

Song Xuanhe felt the oppressing atmosphere around them disappear. When he turned to look at Zhang Chao, he caught a glimpse of Xiao Yuanmu's calm expression in his peripheral vision. Song Xuanhe raised his chin that had been slightly lowered before. He then walked in Zhang Chao's direction with his back straight, the air of an arrogant young master around him. pDk0tf

【Brother, you seem really scared.】

Song Xuanhe had just taken his seat and had refused the flight attendant's beverage offer when he heard the System say this.

【Me? Scared? 】Song Xuanhe glanced at Xiao Yuanmu, who was at least a metre and a half away from him. His response had been in a very relaxed tone.

【In human words, you know how to adapt to the situation!】The system's boorish voice was filled with admiration ：【I've noticed that every time the data says that the big shot's spirits are high, you rain down tyrannical abuse on him. When the big shot's spirits are low, you immediately concede. You're very flexible! You're a genius!】 KTgRxG
