Chapter 226

Chapter 226 I Am Empyrean Lord Ninette rested her head on Emrys’s shoulder, her smile sweet as she said, “He is my boyfriend.”

Boyfriend?

As soon as those words were spoken, a hint of hostility showed in Mason’s eyes toward Emrys.

However, he quickly masked it and asked, “Ninette, why do I hear from Priscilla that you don’t have a boyfriend?”

Priscilla Kaufman was a good friend of Ninette’s during her university days, and they had kept in touch even after graduation.

At last, Ninette knew how Mason had managed to get her contact.

“I just started seeing him recently,” answered Ninette.

“Is that so?”

Mason narrowed his eyes. He took the initiative to converse with Emrys, saying, “Back at our university then. Ninette was considered the campus belle. I still remember that particular winter when a catchphrase about her circulated in the entire male dorm-”

“What exactly are you trying to say?” Ninette interrupted him.

Mason chuckled. “I was simply telling your boyfriend that dating you is his honor, and he should cherish it.”

It sounded incredibly touching, rendering him a caring man.

Ninette, however, was on the verge of getting goosebumps.

She was utterly disgusted.

Mason continued gazing at Emrys, saying, “Only a truly exceptional man can capture Ninette’s heart. I wonder what you do for a living. Why don’t you tell me so I can learn as well?”

There it went.

Mason began his attack.

Ninette turned to Emrys expectantly. On their way there, she had repeatedly reminded him to come up with a more impressive identity, and he had solemnly promised that he would definitely satisfy her.

Emrys chuckled lightly and said, “Nice to meet you. I am Empyrean Lord.”

Pfft!

A stone’s throw away, Yelena, who had been eavesdropping with her ears perked up, spat out the mouthful of coffee she had just drunk. The server rushed over immediately with a napkin to help clean up, asking. “Miss, are you okay?”

Chapter 226 1 Am Empyrean Lord “I’m okay, I’m okay. I’m perfectly fine,” Yelena hurriedly said, concealing her laughter with a cough.

Kys, you really are quite impressive!

Meanwhile, after Emrys had said that, it was as if Mason and Ninette discussed their reactions in advance.

They both froze simultaneously, going completely rigid from their expressions to their movements. They even forgot to blink.

What on earth is this punk talking about?

A moment later, Mason snapped back to reality and eyed Emrys peculiarly.

Ninette couldn’t help but pinch Emrys stealthily. Her beautiful eyes shot daggers at him, and she whispered, “Emrys, have you lost your mind?”

Confused, Emrys asked, “Didn’t you say to assume a more impressive identity to astound him? Isn’t the identity of Empyrean Lord impressive enough? Look, the man across from us is so shocked that he’s dumbfounded.”

“You… Gah! How infuriating!”

I asked you to concoct a more impressive identity, not to spout nonsense. Mason isn’t astounded by your claim but clearly thinks you’re off your rocker and is unsure of how to respond to you! Moreover, how could you casually use the identity of someone as esteemed as Empyrean Lord?

Ninette glared at Emrys hotly, her fingers tightening around him. However, Emrys remained unmoved like a dead mouse that felt no cold.

Left with no other choice, Ninette could only give up in exasperation.

Mason looked at her strangely and said, “Ninette, you didn’t invite an actor to pretend to be your boyfriend just to annoy me, did you?”

Drat, the secret’s out! This is all thanks to you, Rys!

Ninette retorted guiltily, “Nonsense… Don’t flatter yourself… How could I possibly…”

Mason’s smile grew even brighter, and he said, “You’re still the same. Whenever you lie, you start to stammer.”

“Cut it out! He is… my boyfriend!”

Upon hearing that, Ninette became even more infuriated. Suddenly, she pulled Emrys toward her and pressed her crystalline and rosy lips to his.

It was a k*ss that came out of nowhere.

Emrys was wholly stunned.

Yelena was also taken aback.

Chapter 226 I Am Empyrean Lord Once she realized what was happening, she quickly took out her phone and snapped pictures fervently, preserving the evidence in time.
