Chapter 994 - How His Highness Defeated His Love Rival (1/2)

Xiao Zifeng was absolutely stunned when he heard Helian Wei Wei’s words. Instantly, he tried to explain himself.

However, Helian Wei Wei was clearly too considerate and said, “You don’t have to explain further, I understand.” With that, she rid him of a way out of this sticky mess.

In the end, Xiao Zifeng could only stare blankly at Helian Wei Wei. He reached out and pressed a hand against the baby hair sprawled across her forehead, smiling awkwardly. Utterly helpless, he said, “Wei Wei, you really…”

“You don’t have to be so touched.” Helian Wei Wei patted his shoulder with utmost sincerity.

Xiao Zifeng almost spat out blood as her words set in. “Do you think I’m touched?”

“Are you not? Then, why do you look as if you’re about to burst out in tears?” As she finished her sentence, Helian Wei Wei let out a sigh. “The bottom ones usually have a fragile soul, I know.”

Xiao Zifeng’s expression began to distort as he muttered confusingly, “The bottom ones?”

“When one man and another get together, don’t you guys make a distinction between top and bottom?” Helian Wei Wei teased with a raised brow, “You don’t have to be so shocked. I’ve come across them before, there are plenty overseas.”

Xiao Zifeng almost fell to his knees in exasperation as he replied, “What have you come across! Who said I’m a bottom?”

“Are you not a bottom? So you’re a top, then.” Helian Wei Wei shook her head with pity as she pressed on, “You’re always gawking at Jue’s body. Just look at him! Even without me, you wouldn’t have been able to top him.”

Xiao Zifeng was speechless as he screamed internally. I’ve never ever dreamed about topping another guy, okay!

“I don’t…” Xiao Zifeng wanted to resolve the misunderstanding.

“Mister Xiao.” A graceful and clear voice sounded from around the corner. A man stood there, holding Baili Shangxie in one hand. He stared straight at him with a charming smile and said, “My apologies. I don’t want to step between the two of you as you reminisce about your schooling days, but Shangxie is sleepy and he’s whining for Wei Wei.”

Baili Shangxie’s eyes were gleaming with life, with no signs of drowsiness. However, when the Great Demon King lowered his eyes to look at him, he reached out his little hand and rubbed his face, pretending to be extremely exhausted. He snorted coldly to himself. Using me as an excuse, again. There is no limit to Imperial Father’s shamelessness!

Evidently, Xiao Zifeng knew that the man was doing it on purpose. However, he only discovered how deceitful the man was when he had the previous conversation with Helian Wei Wei.

He still wanted to talk to Helian Wei Wei, but she apparently felt that the conversation was over.

Even when he sent a text to Helian Wei Wei after everyone had left, to clarify that he was not interested in men, Helian Wei Wei simply replied, “Don’t worry, I won’t tell anyone.”

In short, the a.s.sumption that he liked men had firmly set in her mind.

Even so, Xiao Zifeng did not give up. He lowered his head and started to input word by word into his phone.

At this moment, in Beijing’s most prosperous mansion district, Baili Jia Jue noticed that after sending out a reply on WeChat, the person sitting in his arms looked as if she was expecting a second text. A cool glimmer flashed across his enigmatic irises as he nonchalantly called, “Wei Wei.”

“Yes?” Helian Wei Wei looked up with a piece of biscuit held in her mouth.

Baili Jia Jue grinned lightly and said, “There’s spiced beef that the chef cooked previously in the fridge on the first floor. Are you hungry?”

“Spiced beef?” Helian Wei Wei’s eyes twinkled.

Baili Jia Jue’s thin lips held the most beautiful arc as he replied gently, “Yes, it’s spiced beef.”

“I’ll eat it!” Helian Wei Wei immediately sprung to her feet with overflowing enthusiasm, chanting, “To think that even in such a cold and dreary place, you’d have spiced beef. I’ll go down now to get it!”

Baili Jia Jue closed the business magazine in his hands and said nonchalantly, “Let me hold your phone for you, can you pour me a gla.s.s of red wine as well?”
