Chapter 254 (1/2)

Mistress (2)

How tricky was that question?!

It was tricky enough to answer. If Ye Lang didn’t care about Little Xin’s feelings, and directly said Kesha was more important, then Little Xin would be heartbroken. There would be cracks in their relationship.

Of course, that was only what they thought. They didn’t know Little Xin wasn’t human. She was as emotionless as a reanimated spirit can be. She didn’t have any opinions on matters like these.

Ye Lang didn’t know what they thought though. He wouldn’t have cared even if he knew though, because…

“Of course my Little Xin is more important!” replied Ye Lang without hesitation.

“Ah…”

Everyone was stunned speechless. No one would’ve expected Ye Lang so say that. It was the complete opposite of what they’d expected.

What was he doing??

“You say your Little Xin is more important, then why are you here?” frowned the Duke, upset.

Ye Lang smiled, then slowly said, “I’m here today, to take your daughter in as my mistress!”

What?! Mistress?

Mistress, of course. He already had Little Seven as his wife. A step lower would be a mistress…

You want Lady Kesha to be your mistress?!

Everyone glared at Ye Lang. They wanted to swallow Ye Lang whole, including Edward. He seemed to have forgotten again…

While they were being angry, some of them did think privately… I’ve thought about it too, but I don’t have the guts to do it!!

Ye Lang, you’re the man!

Obviously, they wouldn’t help Ye Lang now, they’d still fight him!!

Sometimes, there might be many people having the same thoughts, even if none of them dared voice it out. However, they’d still take the higher ground to look down upon those who’d actually voiced these thoughts out!!

“Eh, what are you doing, standing there? It’s your turn to step out, I’m leaving!!”

Ye Lang’s words suddenly echoed in Edward’s ears. Edward had forgotten his original objective, forgotten Ye Lang was there to help him.

If he stepped out now, and at the same time defeat Ye Lang, he’d be the true hero of the people. Though this halo might only be temporary- perhaps not even shiny.

But if he stepped out now, he’d definitely get support from everyone there, increasing his own likability.

This was the effect Ye Lang wanted to achieve!!

Perhaps Ye Lang wanted Edward to step up not because he thought it was the most appropriate moment. It was only because he didn’t want to continue. He was a little tired, and the matter had already been mostly settled. Edward can deal with the rest on his own.

This was still Edward’s problem after all, Ye Lang was only there to assist. If he didn’t let Edward show off his skills, how could he impress Kesha? And even if Edward had to suffer a little, it’d leave a beautiful memory in their lives!
