405 Poor Luck (1/2)

Ming City

Yan stared at the report with depression. He was happy that Xiao Meng still treated him rather well during her time here, but finding out that she wouldn't come here for a long time again made him feel rather depressed.

Ming Hui looked at the emperor with a sigh. ”If you don't want to finish your work, you're not allowed to get out of this room.”

Upon hearing the threat, Yan hurriedly buried himself into work. Ming Hui would surely hold onto his promise, and Ming Yan didn't want to get locked up in this place just because his work hadn't finished yet.

After Jun Hua and Nanglong Soujin returned to the Long Kingdom using that unconventional way, they returned back to the Ming City. As for him, he had come here after the matter of the rebels has finished. Although he knew he will have to stay in that kingdom later, he still has some matter he needed to finish here. Besides, Fan Lanying wasn't there yet.

”You're still here, Ming Hui?” Jun Hua walked in with Nanglong Soujin. It has been a few months since the two of them returned to this city and lived quietly.

Ming Hui nodded his head, ”I have to supervise this lazy brother of mine to make sure he didn't skimp his work.”

”I don't need you to watch over me!” Yan protested.

”If I didn't you would never finish the work,” Ming Hui stared at him coldly, ”Stop making Shu watch over you relentlessly.”

Yan grumbled under his breath as he continued to tackle the paper in front of him. It was not like he didn't do any work, but his heart was not willing right now.

”Yan is like an eternal bachelor,” Jun Hua commented.

”Watch what you said! I'm the emperor!”

”He just had bad luck in choosing woman,” Ming Hui shrugged. The first time he tried to get close to a woman, the 'girl' turned out to be his brother. The second time he wanted to get close with a girl, that person belonged to his best friend. Now that he had become the emperor, the girl he took fancy in wouldn't be able to come here for a few more months.

Jun Hua had to agree with Ming Hui. From all the men she knew, Yan was probably someone she knew to have such luck with women. Not to mention the fact that he was previously known as the pervert, but never got close with a girl. What an amazing fact.

”He will get over it soon,” Nanglong Soujin remarked, ”Someone like him won't stay depressed for a long time.”

Yan got the urge to throw them all out, 'Someone like me…'What kind of person do you see me as?

”Now, what about trying to search for another woman while waiting for that one? As the Emperor, I'm pretty sure that they allow you to have a lot of women.”

”They're not attractive enough.”

”Really?” Ming Hui pulled a paper from the stack of documents in front of him. ”This is the daughter of Minister Zhang. I heard that she's quite a beauty that manages to shake the academy not long ago. Her father wants to promote her to be your wife.”

”I don't like a beauty that can overturn the kingdom.”

Jun Hua tilted her head. ”I thought that you like beauty, Emperor Yan.”

Ming Yan truly wanted to cry. It was not like he didn't like beauty, but he didn't have any interest in random beauty. Right now, he wished for nothing but throwing all of them out of his workroom. Of course, that was only if he had the strength to do so.
