It wasn’t just Chu Lian and Royal Princess Duanjia who were shocked; Princess Wei was rather dumbfounded too.

Prince Wei never got involved with politics at court and he rarely interacted with younger nobles. Why did he bring back three young men along with their son? Furthermore, their identities weren’t ordinary.

He Changdi’s arrival didn’t surprise Chu Lian much as he had mentioned that he would come to pick her up after settling his business with the Left Military Guards. But how had Xiao Bojian come into the picture?

Chu Lian’s features tensed up subconsciously and there was an extra spark of guarded caution in her eyes.

It had been about half a year since Xiao Bojian had last seen Chu Lian. The moment he entered the parlour, his gaze was drawn uncontrollably to Chu Lian’s figure. His gloomy eyes were like those of a desperate man who had found an oasis in the desert, glittering with excitement.

If it wasn’t for his extreme self-control, he might have actually run up to her the moment he spotted her.

He murmured her name in his heart as the hands hidden under his sleeves formed into fists.

He Changdi had been completely focused on Xiao Bojian’s movements while standing next to him, so he had naturally noticed the changes in him. Luckily, Chu Lian hadn’t welcomed Xiao Bojian’s gaze and she even had a disgusted and guarded look in her eyes. Otherwise, He Sanlang might actually have spit up blood from the anger.

Although five new people had entered the parlour at the same time, the atmosphere took on a strange air. There was an awkward silence no one could deal with.

Prince Wei glanced at them with a hint of a smile, as if he wasn’t affected by the weird atmosphere at all.
