Chapter 306 (1/2)

Ye Zhiqing (3)

“I don’t know, they only called themselves our grandmother (mother’s side) and uncle (mother’s side) but I didn’t agree with them,” Ye Lang shook his head.

“...”

They understood from what Ye Lang said that their first guess was right. Their grandmother was the empress dowager, while Long Anqi was the princess of the Vermilion Bird Empire.

However, they didn’t understand why Ye Lang didn’t agree.

“Why didn’t you agree? Is it because your cousin told you to?” this was the only explanation the seventh princess could come up with. If their cousin sister was having a conflict with them, Ye Lang would naturally side with her.

“No, she says it’s true too,” Ye Lang shook his head.

“Then why not?” Ye Lanyu was confused.

He mildly replied, “Mom didn’t say so.”

“...”

Ye Lanyu and the rest fell silent, understanding why he would think that way. While the Vermilion Bird royals were theoretically right- they wouldn’t lie about something like that- Ye Lang would not agree until Long Anqi herself had confirmed this fact.

Perhaps Ye Lang could sense that Long Anqi and Vermilion Bird Empire must have had a very huge problem among themselves for them to have never told him their identities.

It was impossible for Ye Lang’s siblings to not know about it either, if they were only hiding their identities to avoid gossip. That was why there must be some other reason that Long Anqi wouldn’t want to mention them.

“Mm, mom hadn’t mentioned them before, so we won’t recognise them as family either,” Ye Lanyu nodded too. She and her mother were very close, she too could sense something was wrong.

“It’s probably for the best, just in case they drag you into something in the future. I think it’s best you continue telling your story. Tell me what happened next,” the seventh princess frowned. She seemed to not like Ye Lang having any relations to the Vermilion Bird royal family. Perhaps she had some experience with them, or she just didn’t like the thought of it.

“After that… Where was I? Right, I…” Ye Lang continued talking about his experience.

Although Ye Lang’s descriptions were at times inaccurate, the girls present were all very smart., usually smart enough to figure out what actually happened...

When they heard about him buying random things, they smiled… When they heard about what had happened at the Vermilion Bird Palace, they didn’t know to cry or laugh…

Just like that, time passed...

“Hey what’s going on with that three girls? Didn’t they say they were only going to take a look? Why aren’t they back yet?” wondered Strongman worriedly in a hotel.

Ye Lanyu and the other two had completely forgotten to send a message after they saw Ye Lang.

“Teacher, do you want me to check on them?” offered someone. He was a young, handsome boy. He looked like he would be one of the three girls’ admirers.

“You? No, it’s fine…” frowned Strongman. He knew of this boy, he knew the three girls had already rejected him but this was a... persistent one.
