Chapter 708 (1/2)

A Question (3)

“No, she’s my younger sister! Why?” said Long Anqi. Many people were shocked. She looked more like a younger sister by a huge margin.

Ye Lang thought so too. He suddenly realised his oldest brother and second sister were much older than Long Anxi’s son. This meant his mother shouldn’t be younger.

“That’s weird, why does she look so much older than you? She must age very quickly,” said Ye Lang.

“You troublemaker, that’s because I don’t age. When we stand together, we look more like siblings.” Long Anqi chuckled.

“That’s true, she’s older than grandma… I know, she isn’t grandma’s biological daughter,” said Ye Lang suddenly.

“...”

Everyone knew this but no one would ever say it out loud.

“Yeah, we don’t have the same mother but we have the same father.” Long Anqi nodded and knocked his head.

“What about the emperor? I used to think he was very old but after meeting her, I think he’s quite young,” said Ye Lang.

“He’s your grandmother’s son, he’s just quite old, he’s already…”

“Cough cough!”

A few dry coughs interrupted her. Everyone knew they could not talk about this any longer.

“Your Majesty!”

Yep, the emperor and the empress dowager had arrived.

“Ye Lang, you little jerk, how dare you talk behind your uncle’s back.” The emperor looked like he was scolding him but it was obvious he was just joking.

Everyone now confirmed the closeness between Ye Lang and the emperor.

“No, my mom was the one who talked about you,” said Ye Lang honestly.

Thud! Long Anqi smacked him.

“Hey, how could you sell out your mom?”

“I didn’t, I’m just telling the truth!” Ye Lang was resentful. What had he done wrong?

“Alright, that’s enough. Listen to the emperor and the empress dowager,” stopped Ye Chengtian. He had been too lazy to deal with the argument just now because he felt Ye Lang had the ability to fend for himself.

Now, the event had begun. Other than the angry Long Anxi, everyone took their seats happily.

Ye Lang and the ladies sat down in the section for the younger generation. There was still time. The dinner would last till night, there were many more performances before theirs.

There was a row of small square tables for one or two people- people either sat alone or as a couple- these tables were the same as what the emperor and empress dowager used.
