Chapter 50 - Acquaintance (1/2)

A man that looked like in early thirties came in. He radiated an intimidating aura. As he came in, he saw the King dining with a woman. His brows furrowed, as he stared at the woman.

Isn't she supposed to be dead? he thought. He was quick at hiding his emotions before anyone could notice.

"Your Majesty, Your servant Lu Zhangchen is here to pay his respects." He clasped his fist and bowed.

"En." King Jin replied, he gave more dishes to Yi Ling and didn't paid attention to the newcomer.

Yi Ling's mouth twitched, how am I supposed to eat all these? But she didn't complain, he was showering her his attention after all.

Seeing the two, made Lu Zhangchen puzzled. How did this b*tch attracted the attention of the King? Why was she still alive? He couldn't help but keep staring at Yi Ling.

Yi Ling felt uncomfortable by his stares, so she looked at King Jin.

"Brother Jin, please stop. Im going to get fat if you keep feeding me. I haven't finished my plate yet." She decided to called him Brother Jin, so that the other man would stop staring her.

King Jin's eyes went wide and chuckled. It was the first time she called him Brother Jin. It made his heart happy. He didn't know that someone can make him happy by just calling him Brother Jin.

"Alright, I just didn't want you to starve" He looked at her sheepishly. Yi Ling rolled her eyes.

Lu Zhangchen was shocked. How come the King is talking to her informally? And she called her Brother Jin? What is their relationship?

"Your highness, Forgive me if I maybe too bold. But, may I know why is my young master's fiancee doing here?" Lu Zhangchen dropped the bomb.
