Translator: Storm in a Teacup
Long, Shi and Xu saw Huhe coming over from above.
Long and Shi took a look at each other, and then dropped their eyes.
Xu was also a little nervous, but he relaxed soon.
He knew that he couldn’t drop the ball, because they depended on him to test Huhe!
If he let his nervousness show, then Huhe would find that they had other motives!
Soon, Fang led Huhe to the second floor.
Xu didn’t know if it was his illusion, but he felt… Huhe’s eyes brightened when Huhe saw him.
Xu frowned slightly, thinking that he might get it wrong. After all, he didn’t see it clearly.
At this time, Fang and Huhe were already standing in front of them.
Xu stood up.
“Shuoyang, this is…”
“Haha, let me introduce you. This is my wife, Xu You. Xu You, this is my new friend, Huhe Huangcheng.”
“Mr. Xu,” Huhe said with a smile.
Xu also smiled faintly. “Mr. Huhe.”
As Fang sat down, he also asked Huhe to take a seat.
Then, Fang gave the lantern to Xu.
“Here. There’s a white rabbit on it. Do you like it?”
Xu took a look and seemed to dislike it. “A white rabbit? Who would like that? I like tigers.”
Fang hurriedly said, “Just you wait. I’ll buy a tiger one for you.”
“Okay.” Xu responded coldly and waved his hand. “Go ahead.”
Fang left obediently.
It seemed that Xu didn’t realize there was an outsider there until Fang left!
Xu flushed and smiled awkwardly at Huhe. “I’m sorry, Mr. Huhe. That’s so embarrassing.”
“Don’t say that.” Huhe immediately shook his head. “Mr. Xu, you’re straightforward. Brother Shuoyang is very blessed.”
Hearing Huhe’s words, Xu seemed relieved.
He no longer felt so embarrassed.
Huhe took the opportunity and asked, “Mr. Xu, please excuse me for my abrupt question. Seeing that you and Brother Shuoyang are so deep in love, I’m really curious how you met each other.”
“Well…” Xu smiled. “It’s no secret. At that time, I was still young and an accident happened to my family. When I was scraping a living, Shuoyang’s adoptive father saw me and took me back home. Shuoyang and I are childhood sweethearts.”
“Ah.” Huhe exclaimed. “So you were destined to be together.”
“Yes.” Xu smiled faintly. “When I think back, it’s really destiny that brought us together.”
With that subject, Huhe and Xu began to talk. He also asked Xu what Fang looked like when he was a child and whether he was lovely.
Xu answered him randomly.
When Fang came back, both of them were very happy!
At least it was like that on the surface!
Fang was also very happy. He not only brought a lantern, but also Xu’s favorite cakes.
“Wow, my favorite cakes,” Xu said happily.
“You greedy pig, you’re always so happy when you see delicious food.”
Hearing that, Xu glared at Fang. “Who’s the greedy pig? How dare you say that?”
“Alright, I’m the greedy pig, okay?” Fang was obedient to Xu and didn’t want to argue with him at all.
Xu snorted. He turned his head and began to eat the cakes happily.
Fang sat down and smiled apologetically to Huhe, but his eyes were full of love and happiness.
“Brother Huhe, you must be laughing at us inwardly.”
“Of course not.” Huhe hurriedly waved his hand. “Mr. Xu is straightforward. Brother Shuoyang, as I just said, you’re so blessed.”
“Haha, I also think so.” Fang took that as a compliment.
After that, Fang and Huhe talked for a long time.
Xu felt bored and yawned after eating the cakes.
So, Fang proposed to leave with Xu after a while.
Huhe naturally wouldn’t stop them.
Thus, Fang took Xu’s hand and left with his guards after saying goodbye.
Huhe kept watching them from upstairs. When Fang and his men couldn’t be seen, he also left Flora House.
After the four of them returned to the mansion, they entered the secret room.
Fang let a long breath out.
Xu sat down, touching his belly. “I’m stuffed.”
Long burst into laughter. “Who told you to eat so much? It wasn’t long after dinner and you ate so many cakes. Did you want to show us that you’re really a greedy pig?”
“That’s nonsense!” Xu glared at Long. “I just wanted to show you guys that I’m simple and gullible. Didn’t you ask me to behave like this?”
“But… what’s that got to do with eating?” Long said with a smile.
Xu got angry. “you!”
Fang coughed and hurriedly calmed Xu down. “Ahem, Xu You, your elder brother is just joking with you. Don’t you know that?”
Xu snorted in anger and turned his head.
Long smiled.
Shi looked at Long helplessly, wondering why he liked to tease Xu so much.
Long wouldn’t stop it until Xu got furious. Shi really didn’t know what to do about it.
So Shi had to change the subject. “At least our action today is successful. This crown prince is very interested in Xu You, and he’s more interested in your past, Fang Shuoyang.”
“Yeah.” Long nodded seriously when he heard that. “Although we still don’t know what his purpose is, he’s very interested in your past… Shuoyang, you appeared too early this time and he just met Xu You, so he can only sound you out a little. As for the next step…”
“What else do you want to do?” Fang frowned at once. “I also noticed that Huhe Huangcheng seems to be very interested in Xu You, which is not a good thing.”
“Better dredge it than block it,” Long said softly, “You should have heard this saying.”
Fang knitted his brows.
Xu blinked. “Should I continue to test him?”
Long blinked as well. “What do you think?”
Xu thought for a while and said, “Not good. I always feel… that person is a bit scary.”
“Oh? Is this how you feel?” Long became serious.
“Yeah.” Xu nodded. After some hesitation, he said, “Anyway, I have a bad impression of him.”
“If this is the case…” Long touched his chin. “Then let’s just wait.”
“Huh? What do you mean?” Xu asked immediately.
Long smiled at once. “As the fourth prince’s wife, surely you can’t go out every day, right? So, let’s wait until they are about to leave.”
