Interstellar Era of Gossip

Chapter 29 [The Old Prince Returns]

 4843 Longton Street.

　　Xerxes looked at the words and felt that this was exactly what a little liar would say, and he could even go back on his words with such confidence.

　　[I will bring gifts and wait for your sudden impulse to come for a date. ]

　　After a while, there was no more message from the other side, so he switched to the contact interface with Nalun and found that this colleague with a strong sense of self-esteem was indeed very angry. Looking at this series of questions, Xerxes could almost imagine his sneer.

　　The relationship that the two had finally eased was repeatedly challenged, and this time it was Nalun who took the initiative to make an invitation and show goodwill. It seemed really inappropriate for me to do this.

　　After thinking about it, Xerxes directly sent a communication request.

　　"What's the matter?" Nalun's voice sounded calm.

　　Xerxes explained his reversal by saying that he had an important person to meet the next day.

　　Nalun snorted.

　　Could it be that the people of the Xiaerwei family are not worthy of the term "important people"?

　　Don't think he doesn't know: you're going to meet just an insignificant little person.

　　Xerxes understood the first half of the meaning behind the sneer.

　　"We can do it another time..."

　　"No thanks." Nalun interrupted him and calmly said that he would not force anyone, and that the party was a matter of mutual consent. He also emphasized that he had overestimated their friendship and made an abrupt request.

　　Xerxes: "..."

　　"It's late, Marshal." Nalun paused for a moment and said, "I won't say good night. That's all."

　　The terminal beeped, indicating the call was hung up.

　　This is indeed Sharvi's usual style of doing things, grasping the key points and denouncing them in a sonorous, forceful and merciless manner.

　　But today, Xerxes had no intention of continuing to confront him.

　　Nalun thought that his powerful accusation would make Xerxes feel guilty and regretful, but he never expected that half a minute after he interrupted the communication, the communicator rang again.

　　Is it still possible?

　　At least you should take a few seconds to repent for breaking the appointment!

　　What's more, he would definitely not go... He didn't like beards, and he would not risk exposing his identity to meet an annoying guy!

　　His good holiday mood was completely destroyed. He threw the communicator into the drawer and decided to ignore it for the time being.

　　The next day, the prince woke up again with two huge dark circles under his eyes.

　　While eating breakfast, Illya said earnestly: "Uncle, staying up late is not good."

　　Nalun glanced at her and said, "Okay, I'll confiscate your terminal tonight so you don't play until the early hours again."

　　Illya was stunned. Tears welled up in her innocent blue eyes, and her face was filled with despair. She couldn't accept this sudden bad news.

　　Nalun: "The exam is coming soon, you should concentrate. If you rank last again, no one will be able to save you when Big Brother comes back."

　　Illya burst into tears and threw herself into the arms of old Prince Sharvi who had just entered the room.
