Chapter 166 - I’m Also Interested in Him (I)
Rebirth As a Fatuous and Self-indulgent Ruler
Burning with anger, Long followed the servant to Wu Xiangyuanâs place.
Just as he arrived there, he heard a womanâs laughter.
âBrother Shi, youâre so funny.â
Longâs face darkened. Funny?
âHumph, I wonder what funny things Qingzhou said can make Miss Wu so happy.â
Hearing Longâs voice, the two people in the room were stunned.
Shi reacted violently. He suddenly stood up and quickly walked to Long. âWhy are you here?â
Long looked at Shi with a smile. âWhatâs the matter, Qingzhou? Canât I come here?â
Shi slightly pursed his lips and noticed that Long wasnât happy.
Shi shook his head. âNo, I...â
âBrother Shi.â Wu called softly and walked to Shi with unhurried elegance.
âWow, it sounds like youâre so close. But Miss Wu, your Brother Shi belongs to me now. Arenât you afraid that itâll cause any misunderstanding? Even if you donât worry about that, youâre still a woman. Donât you care about your reputation at all?â
It was really rude to say that.
Wu felt embarrassed. Then, she turned to look at Shi as if she was about to cry.
Shi frowned and said, âYou misunderstood us. Thereâs nothing between Miss Wu and me.â
Seeing that his empress was defending an outsider, Long glared at him.
Shi clenched his fists and didnât plan to give in.
Long was not very angry at first, but Shiâs reaction made him furious, so he looked at Shi fiercely.
Unexpectedly, Shi turned to Wu.
âMiss Wu, thank you for todayâs information. We still have something else to do. Weâll take our leave.â
Wu sobbed. âBrother Shi...â
Instead of responding to her, Shi said to Long, âLetâs go.â
Long narrowed his eyes and looked at Shi. Then, he turned and left directly. He didnât look at Wu at all!
Shi slightly lowered his head. Then, he went out to follow Long.
Wu watched Long and Shi go out successively. When their figures disappeared completely, she laughed.
The emperor was so impulsive... and also so stupid. It was easy to plot against such a person. If something unexpected like this happened several times, the emperor and her Brother Shi would definitely be alienated, right?
Originally, Wu just wanted to plant seeds of doubts in her Brother Shiâs mind to make him feel that the emperor wasnât treating him sincerely and he was guarding against him in every aspect.
She didnât expect that the emperor would come here to meet them when she was secretly dating her Brother Shi!
Haha! She really should be grateful for the emperorâs behavior, shouldnât she?
Wu stopped pretending to cry and a sneer lifted the corners of her mouth.
That sneer made her beautiful face look ferocious.
However, Wu didnât notice that.
Long left that place and walked very fast. Obviously, his speed showed that he was unhappy.
Shi caught up, but didnât keep pace with him. He just walked behind Long.
Long knew that Shi was right behind him, but seeing that Shi didnât go to explain it to him or say some nice words, Long became angrier!
As a result, Long walked faster and faster.
No matter how fast Long walked, Shi could easily keep up with him. He just walked behind him and didnât do anything else.
When they reached the secret entrance to the imperial palace, Shi still kept silent, which made Long furious.
âGood! You wonât talk? Fine! Then just keep silent!â
Long was in a rage.
Thinking about that, Long quickly stepped into the secret passage...
After returning to Qiankun Palace, Long directly went to the bedroom.
Shi followed him.
Long sat on the edge of the bed and stared at Shi in anger.
Shi finally opened his mouth. âWhat did you worry about?â
Longâs eyes widened as soon as he heard those words. âWhat do you think?â
âYou stalked me?â Shi asked again.
Long knitted his brows. âWhat?â
Shi said coldly, âYou were afraid Iâd date women outside, right?â
âYou...â Long found that Shi was a little strange.
Shi said more coldly, âIf you were worried, you could just send someone to come with me. Why did you stalk me?â
âYou...â Long got very angry and disappointed. âShi Qingzhou! What are you talking about?â
Shi slightly pursed his lips and said, âIsnât that right? I left the palace. You donât trust me, so you stalked me.â
âYou...â Long trembled with anger. âWhy donât I trust you? Is this your first time that you went out of the palace? I finished my work, so I went out to find you. You...â
âSo you went to Tianji Sect?â Disappointment filled Shiâs eyes. âLong Xiaoyuan, do you dare to say that you went there not because you donât trust me and were afraid that Iâd date that woman there?â
âYou...â Long was filled with fury. Shiâs attitude really let him down. He wanted to swear at Shi, but he felt a little powerless.
Later, Long gritted his teeth and said calmly, âShi Qingzhou, I donât want to talk with you when weâre both angry.â
After that, Long got up and went out...
Shi lowered his head and said nothing, just letting Long leave.
Long left Qiankun Palace and went to the imperial study.
He didnât expect this to happen this time.
Shiâs attitude made him angry, disappointed... and sad.
