Chapter 512 (1/2)

Party At The Li's (2)

“Alright, alright, you’re a handsome man!” said Athena. “But, even if she recognised you, she still shouldn’t act like that around you… You’re both enemies, not lovers! Her behaviour doesn’t match her personality at all. I don’t understand!”

This was where it got confusing. It didn’t matter if she recognised Ye Lang, she shouldn’t have behaved like that under normal circumstances.

If Ye Lang’s guess was right- Zhao Yarou was ‘mesmerized’ by his looks… but they were enemies, the kind where they both wanted each other dead!

Also, would Zhao Yarou ever turn dumb over a good-looking boy?

Only she would know. All they could do was to wait for the answer to reveal itself.

Athena did not want to dwell further either, there was no answer to be found. Turning to Ye Lang, she said, “The most important thing now is to settle the matter between you and Li Yue. You can still do the same thing you’ve been doing tomorrow. Eat breakfast with her, shoot some arrows. If you can, ask her out to do something else! Although both of you have gotten quite close, you’ve got to be closer! Don’t waste any time, make her hand you the Tianji Armour within ten days…”

“As long as you can do this in ten days, we don’t have to care about what Zhao Yarou is planning. You leave immediately!” said Athena. Like Ye Lang, she wanted to leave everything once the mission was completed.

“I know. Li Yue listens to me. Should I ask her tomorrow?”

“Absolutely not! Asking her directly and so suddenly would only make her suspicious!”

“There’s nothing wrong with that, I’ve asked her before. She said she’d give me the Tianji Armour if we get married!” said Ye Lang, clueless.

“If you get married… Why were you two talking about marriage? What does she think?” Athena did not know this. Ye Lang hadn’t told her about it, he didn’t think it was important.

Athena looked very anxious when she asked the question, either for the development of this mission or merely worried about both of them getting married.

“I don’t think she agreed, but, I don’t think she said no either,” said Ye Lang after a moment of thought. He couldn’t tell.

There is a saying: a lady’s heart is like a needle at the bottom of the ocean. Her thoughts are turbulent- plus Ye Lang was already a clueless person himself.

“It’s good she didn’t object. As long as she hasn’t refused, we’re halfway there! She must be shy… What if we pay the Li family a visit and propose marriage?” suggested Athena. Although this method seemed very aggressive, as long as they could confirm a marriage, Li Yue would let him see the Tianji Armour. Then it would be his to take.

At that point, Ye Lang would probably tell Li Yue, “I’m leaving, thank you!”

Next, Ye Lang would disappear from the Imperial City. When Li Yue and the rest fail to find him, they would realise he was a liar, here to cheat her of her feelings for the Tianji Armour.

It was still hard to predict if they would be able to find out Ye Lang’s true identity by then.

“Meet the parents? Maybe not. We’re just here to lie about our feelings but meeting the parents to propose marriage might be too much!” Ye Lang shook his head.

After giving him a long, hard look, Athena finally nodded. “You’re right!”
