[BL] I Picked up a Husband While Trying To Become An Author

Story 1.6 I'll be blunt

"Tsk! you dare to come back." Zhang Xi Ze complained after being left alone for so long.

"My bad." Guo Li Jun apologized.

This room was made especially so Guo Li Jun could eavesdrop in between people's conversation so that whenever they loosened their mouths, Prince Chu could hear everything that was said downstairs.

If he didn't, he wouldn't have dropped a cup and stained the floor.

"Jun ge, what's so special about this scholar?" Even if he's his brother's benefactor. He knew Guo Li Jun too well that he wouldn't recklessly invite someone over as they were alert for any possible rats.

"Someone that caught my eye. . ."

"Mmn ...now that's a first." Zhang Xi Ze mocked not hiding his unpleasant mood.

It's not every day that he could meet up with his friends and he dares to steal away this Prince's people.

With a glance, he could tell that this little brother of his was throwing a childish temper. If the people in the palace were to see this side of him, they might conclude that he's brain-damaged.

"Cut me some slack." he said while patting his head.

Zhang Xi Ze flung his arm away with a scowl not liking the childish treatment.

"So? what benefits does he have for you to keep him close?"

"Benefits?" this word made Guo Li Jun think.

"That's what I need to find out."

Ren Jin and Wang Ke Er finally arrived after Ming Yu left and sat beside them.

" Chu wangye" Wang Ke Er greeted politely and Yao Ren Jin lowered his head.

"Lovely Ke Er, have you've been well?" Zhang Xi Ze asked concerned. It is true that a beauty can uplift one's spirits.

"to receive Chu wangye 's grace, this servant is beyond well."

Zhang Xi Ze scooted over and cupped her palm into his.

"Ke Er, how is it? have you thought of being mine?" he asked slyly waiting for her reply.

"As I've said before, you're not up to my standards." she haughtily answered and slapped that bad hand away.

"A prince like me and future Emperor isn't enough for you?" Zhang Xi Ze's brow arched.

"An Emperor is nothing to a woeful maiden's heart." Wang Ke Er said to prove her claims.

"If her standards weren't high, who would dare marry her." Yao Ren Jin evilly teased.
