Gu Bai was leaving the private room of the tea house when he bumped into Xue Yunfeng, whom Yanu had summoned over. The other party seemed anxious. However, once Xue Yunfeng caught sight of Gu Bai’s sorry appearance, his own expression froze in a flash.

Due to his keen power of observation, Gu Bai could clearly see Xue Yunfeng’s expression change. He lowered his head and checked his own appearance. Suddenly, realization struck him. 

This body was not good with alcohol. Just now, he had drunk two cups of strong liquor in the private room, and his face flushed scarlet. A moment ago, because he had sat close to Xue Han, his clothes became exceptionally disheveled. Even his belt had grown loose.

Moreover, since Gu Bai’s legs had grown soft from drinking, Xue Yunfeng’s thoughts obviously traveled in a crooked direction…

Xue Yunfeng was certain this was the case. After he had seen Gu Bai’s appearance, he could not help but grow furious in a flash, certain that Gu Bai was trying to seduce Xue Han.

When it’s all said and done, Xue Yunfeng had memories of a previous life where Gu Bai had ruthlessly thrown himself into the bosom of the victor, enjoying glory. After his rebirth, on the surface, the court’s circumstances were very unfavorable for him. 

Because of the crown prince’s behavior of liking beauties more than he cared about the nation, the emperor already desired to depose him. On the surface, the court did not support the crown prince’s authority. If there were a few princes fighting for this position, he definitely would lose. It was normal that his cold and ruthless male pet had abandoned him, and started to seek a new protector.

Xue Yunfeng inwardly sneered. A cheap person would be a cheap person. As expected, it’s hard for them to change their cold and ruthless natural instincts!

Although he was sneering in his heart, before he solidified his position, he would not completely expose his disgust. As a result, his cold expression disappeared in an instant, a face of worry returning.

“Rong Yi, how are you? Nothing’s wrong, right? Just now, Yanu said that Imperial Uncle summoned you over…”

Yanu still had some brains. He did not dare to say that Gu Bai himself insisted on having him here. Instead, he had only informed Xue Yunfeng that Prince Yu of the First Rank had “summoned him forcibly.”

Facing the also worried Yanu, Gu Bai shook his head. Then he shifted his gaze to Xue Yunfeng. In a soft voice, he said, “Your Highness, I’m fine. His Highness hasn’t done anything to me. Don’t worry…”

Don’t worry? How could he not worry?!

Xue Yu glanced at the red marks in plain sight on Gu Bai’s neck and sneered once more. But he only nodded. In an utmost cherishing manner, he hugged his shoulder. And they left together. 

Gu Bai had several worlds’ worth of experience. So how could he not tell that that person loathed him? He smiled yet did not explain. He wanted Xue Yunfeng to stew in those thoughts himself. Hate, hate, just keep on hating. This master will give you something to regret in the future…
