Chapter 225 - Lucky~ (2/2)
An Hao frowned, feeling aggrieved and embarrassed.
{...I didn't lower my guard...and they did contemplate killing me...But in the end, they didn't and I guess that's your point -_-)...}
An hao frowned, it made sense but still, ”But then how did they get me to my tent? How could they have known-”
”Exactly, they couldn't have known.” Bi Lo interjected with his reasoning again, ”So they didn't know. Some random soldier could have easily taken you back. There were thousands in the camp. Did you interview every single one of them?”
An Hao pursed his lips. Of course, he did not do that. He definitely could not have opened his mouth to ask the Emperor to line up all the troops for something so foolish. He also could not embarrass himself before the Emperor and tell him about how two little girls had knocked him out. Bi Lo's words made a lot of sense of the entire situation. But An Hao was still somewhat having a hard time accepting this explanation.
Bi Lo then sighed, ”I'll be honest, I didn't like her much before but now with this story of yours...She sounds like a brave and loyal person to risk herself like that for her brother. Even though the war was over, there were enemy soldiers scattered around still causing trouble. It was still dangerous even for seasoned soldiers, much less for two little girls. It is commendable, definitely commendable.” Bi Lo finished with an approving nod, seeing Lei Xing in a brand new light.
An Hao looked at Bi Lo and then sighed. This was truly confirmation that this investigation was truly a pointless effort and would only result in his embarrassment. If even people who were not close to her only saw her good act, Lei Yong and the Emperor will definitely see no wrong in her actions.
An Hao stared at Lei Xing's back, deep in thought. She was brave so she went to find her brother. She was lucky so she found him. She was scared so he got knocked out. She probably panicked and so they ran off with Lei Yong and dropped him elsewhere. All the while, luckily never being spotted.
An Hao let out a long sigh. She seemed to be a very lucky person. But then on thinking about it, he agreed that she had to be very lucky to have been able to garner his Emperor's affection. His Emperor was definitely not someone that would fall for just anyone.
Bi Lu pat An Hao's shoulder and asked, ”Feeling better?”
An Hao knit his brows for a bit but then nodded, albeit a bit reluctantly. Bi Lu also nodded and then said, ”Since the Noble consort did not want to take credit for the rescue, let it remain so. There is no need to dig up old matters for no reason....A word of advice An Hao, don't let your ego create difficulties for yourself.”
An Hao glanced at him and then looked down with a pout. He honestly never considered this line of reasoning. And he actually felt embarrassed considering how simple and obvious it should have been. He would not say it out loud but after talking things out, it really seemed like he was grasping at straws for something to accuse her of.
Bi Lo then brushed Bi Lu to the side and smiled at An Hao, ”Now why don't you tell us about this girl of yours...”
An Hao immediately narrowed his eyes at him and flatly said, ”There's nothing to tell...”
”Oh, so you admit she's yours?” Bi Lo asked with a smirk.
An Hao glared at him, ”My life is none of your business...and neither is it my father's so don't go rambling useless things to him.” He narrowed his eyes at them in warning for them to keep quiet and then he walked away as Bi Lo chuckled behind him.
An Hao went and sat down and then stared down at the box in his hands. He glanced across the guests to Lei Xng's table, but he could not see Xiao Ting's face from where he sat. He pouted and then looked back down at the box.
{...If there's nothing to investigate then...I no longer need to come here anymore...}
An Hao let out a breath, this was for the best. His vacation was coming to an end in two days, so he would naturally no longer have the time to come here as much anyway. He would also not have the free time to make snacks and come sit here to talk. He would be very busy...so this was truly for the best.
The investigation was now over and he would move on from the memory of that night. It was enough that he knew he was not wrong back then.
But more than the thought for his bruised ego, the thought of no longer coming here seemed to be the most interesting thing in his mind at the moment. The more he thought about it, the more upset he felt.
It was becoming an increasingly unhappy thought and he could not even partake in the great food and snacks before him. His mood felt strange and he couldn't help feeling...an odd sense of loss.
An Hao frowned.
{...What loss? I never had anything here to begin with nor did I lose anything...I would have been bored at home anyway so this investigation was good, kept me busy...So didn't lose anything...No loss, life will proceed as normal after today...Normal like...like - It's that stupid Bi Lo's nonsense rubbing off on me! What stupid fantasy dream girl?! All nonsense! >_
