Chapter 531 (1/2)

The Empress' Guest (1)

“I didn’t want to come either but I have no choice, the empress insists I attend,” Ye Lang said blankly, staring back at the group of people glaring at him.

“The empress? Hmmph, you’re lying. You’re just a pretty boy, you think the empress wants you?” scoffed these people. To them, he was just a weakling.

“Now that you’ve mentioned it, I suspect this too. I think the empress really wants me,” said Ye Lang solemnly, though he meant it in a different way.

Ye Lang suspected Zhao Yarou intended to lock him up, ‘wanted’ him. Though it was different than what they meant.

“You’re a shameless weakling! Who do you think the empress is? If she were so easily tricked by just your face, I would have her by now!” spat another person.

“So, does this mean it was too difficult to pursue the empress so you picked your second option, which is Miss Li Yue?” said another.

While they were all harassing Ye Lang now, let’s not forget these people were rivals too. The fights between them had not stopped, and all of them had offended each other many times so they often landed blows at each other when they could too.

“No, it was just an example! The person I love is Miss Li Yue, this will never change for the rest of my life,” explained the other person frantically.

“I heard you were trying to date Ye Lanyu once, you said that too. This means you were lying then, are you lying now?” said nother.

Ye Langyu?! Ye Lang’s eyes brightened. He stared at this person, there was a faint memory of him.

The guy was silent. There was nothing he could say to save himself so it was best to stay silent.

With this squabble, Ye Lang was now the spectator again. It didn’t involve him so he started to talk to Li Yue again.

Very soon, the harassers suddenly realised the girl they were trying to woo was whisked away by the pretty boy away.

Although they’ve settled one rival, the biggest threat was still here. And he was slowly cornering them into a ‘dead’ end too!

“You pretty boy, stay away from Miss Li Yue!”

“Miss Li Yue, why are you still with the pretty boy? What he did that day, didn’t that disappoint you?”

The crowd started to talk amongst themselves, their voices drowning Ye Lang and Li Yue’s conversation.

“Please…” Li Yue stood up calmly but her eyes flashed suddenly, “...shut up!”

“Ah…”

The crowd was stunned. They had never heard her say such a thing in their lives!

“First, I would like to say this: he is handsome but he is no pretty boy! Second, who I choose to be with, is my business, you have no right to interfere! Finally, please stay away from us, stop getting in our way!” Li Yue said coldly as she glared at them.
