Chapter 71

Time goes back ten minutes.

Elina and her friends were still discussing the four big men.

"...I still think it's easier for Count Uno to take the throne. Didn't you see Ye Wangxing's eyes widened?"

Elena said this in a decisive tone, pointing her finger at Count Uno and saying something, which made Ye Wangxing laugh.

"Not necessarily. He didn't refuse Prince Janus's request, did he? Didn't he just leave Count Uno because of Prince Janus' words?"

The girl who had been hammering Elena's shoulders at the beginning of the banquet said this affirmatively. At this time, Prince Janus came up and said something to Count Uno. Under Count Uno's ugly expression, he happily took Ye Wangxing to the front of other people like a big dog.

...It seems that this person has not noticed that the atmosphere between Earl Uno and Ye Wangxing is not right.

"I think it's also possible that Lord Semos is the one who could be the one. He's also the vice president of the research institute. And the way he looked at Ye Wangxing just now, with his expressionless yet pitiful face, really softened Ye Wangxing's heart."

another friend retorted.

At this time, Martha spoke lightly and calmed the situation.

"—Come on, everyone. Are you sure these guys are better than Admiral Otas?"

The friends, led by Elina, immediately turned to look at Admiral Otas - and then saw him actively unbuttoning his shirt to let Ye Wangxing touch his collar.

It's like a large wild beast that has voluntarily been tamed and collared by humans.

No one can resist this scene.

Even the battle-hardened Martha blushed gradually as she watched the harmonious scene between the two.

She felt like she had found the pleasure she had when she was a teenager.

but……

What a pity, there are three ferocious beasts nearby, eyeing us covetously.

Martha looked at the other three people who seemed to be socializing with others but were actually looking at Ye Wangxing, and sighed.

Turning around and looking at her friends who were excited and wanted to join in the fun, Martha rolled her eyes and pulled them back.

"Don't you want to die? You're joining in the fun! Aren't you afraid that when they start fighting, they'll beat you all up too?"

Martha's blunt lecture managed to calm these playboys down.

After all, even though the technology of medical cabins in the interstellar era has been very advanced, it still hurts when you get hit.

The playboys became obedient and no longer looked at the five people. Instead, they wandered around the venue aimlessly looking for other fun things.

And soon, they found it.

"Elina, look, Ye Bai is getting close to Prince Woden again, but this time Prince Woden doesn't seem to have invited Ye Bai to be his dance partner. Isn't this a blatant embarrassment to him?"

As the friend spoke, his expression became more and more angry, but when he thought about what Ye Bai had done, the desire to stand up for Ye Bai weakened a lot.

The emotions are very complicated.

Elina seemed to have given up. She waved her hand and said numbly, "He's like this in front of his brother anyway. Ye Wangxing has tried to discipline him several times, but it's all in vain. Ye Bai is still like this."

The friend sighed again after hearing what Elina said and couldn't help but say.

"I don't know what kind of magic potion Prince Woden gave Ye Bai to make him so devoted to him that he would come up to him even though he embarrassed him in public."

As he was talking, his friend also said indignantly: "Prince Woden is the same. If he doesn't like Ye Bai, he can just cancel the engagement directly. But he is different. He says he dislikes Ye Bai. His friends have told him many times to cancel the engagement with Ye Bai, but he still refuses to do it."

Martha pointed out the problem: "Those with vested interests won't give up the benefits they've already secured. It's normal for Prince Woden to be unwilling to give up Ye Bai, a bootlicker who's always available. The source of this matter lies with Ye Bai."

So the topic returned to the old topic: why was Ye Bai so devoted to Woden? Elina had thought about this question before, but she always felt that Ye Bai's brain circuits were like some kind of mental pollution. Once he got attached to her, she might not be able to turn back.

Thinking of this, she turned on the light in her hand and planned to catch up on some dramas. When she saw several palace fighting dramas on the homepage, Elena suddenly had an idea. She seemed to know why Ye Bai was like this.

"Do you think it's possible that Ye Bai had a filter for Woden when he was little? I have to admit, Woden was really good-looking when he was little. And now when he's throwing tantrums, it's just the way Woden was acting when he was little. It seems like Ye Bai was the only one who didn't get angry when Woden got angry when he was little."

Elina's words woke Martha up from her dream. "And when they grew up, they got engaged. Ye Bai even treated Woden like one of his own. It's hard to say how much love there was. I've never seen Ye Bai look at Woden like he was looking at a date."

This made her friends curious: "What kind of eyes do you use to look at your date?"

Martha casually pointed at the young man who had replaced the man next to her.

"Just look at the expressions of Count Uno and Ye Wangxing. Count Uno's eyes are like he's looking at his prey, and his desire for control is almost bursting out of his eyes. Ye Wangxing's eyes are more reserved, but he keeps looking at Count Uno's."

"I'm sure they had a pretty hot night—or several—before."

Martha said this with certainty, drawing on her rich experience.

"However, Ye Bai didn't have that kind of look towards Woden. Even when they were engaged, he didn't consider her as a date. Instead, he focused on royal history and royal etiquette every day."

"...At the time, we just thought he was nervous about marrying into the royal family—but then again, was that book useful?"

The friends asked in confusion.

"It's useless. My mom and my aunt haven't seen it. My mom will pretend to be nice in the eyes of outsiders, but my aunt doesn't even try. Anyway, her status is high enough, and she can get away with it. As long as she doesn't drag officials to go bungee jumping in space, that's all."

Elina said, waving her hand, then she stroked her chin with a thoughtful look on her face.

"But if Ye Bai thinks this way, it seems there is a way to save him—all we need to do is break the filter that Ye Bai sees of Woden being upset."

Martha nodded, but her brow furrowed. "But Ye Bai's experiences over the years have proven that his filter is quite strong. He sees Woden as if he were his own family. It will be very difficult to change his opinion of Woden—unless Woden takes the initiative to break the filter."

Hearing Martha's words, Elina and her friends all sighed.

"Why is it so difficult not to let Ye Bai step into the fire pit?"

As she spoke, Elina's gaze drifted towards Ye Bai, and after her gaze fell on Ye Bai. The next second.

——Elina watched as Warden’s hand made close contact with Ye Bai’s face.

There was still anger and irritability on Warden's face. Fortunately, Warden still had some rationality and didn't hit Ye Bai too hard, but it still made Ye Bai fall to the ground.

However, from Elina's perspective, Ye Bai did not fall to the ground because of Warden's slight force.

It seemed more like shock.

He seemed shocked that Worden would hit him on such an important occasion.

After realizing what he had done, Warden was in disbelief at first, and then he wanted to reach out to pull Ye Bai.

Can……

Ye Bai's shocked expression seemed to have touched a certain spot in Warden's mind, causing him to look furious and angry, and he poured all the red wine in his hand onto Ye Bai.

This immediately wiped out the shock on Ye Bai's face. He sat there in a daze, as if the light in his eyes had gone out.

"Ah! Woden, what are you doing!"

Elina screamed subconsciously.

The attention of the people around was instantly drawn to him, and after seeing Prince Woden's actions, they subconsciously stepped back a distance to avoid being affected by the angry Prince Woden.

But when they saw who was being beaten, everyone's faces were filled with disbelief. That was Prince Woden's fiancé, and not just any fiancé. Behind this man stood the Minister of Finance!

Some people subconsciously looked towards the Chancellor of Finance, and saw him with a dark face, a wine glass in his hand, rushing towards Prince Warden in a menacing manner.

Director Fei was not to be outdone. She was wearing a women's suit, took out the cane she carried with her, and walked towards Prince Warden.

However, faster than the angry parents was a black shadow. Before the people around could react, Prince Woden let out an extremely miserable cry.

"ah--!"

The next second, Prince Woden fell to the ground just like Ye Bai just now. He curled up like a shrimp, his face was pale and he retched from time to time.

The people around immediately gathered around the culprit, and the young man, the culprit, cleanly retracted his fist that had hit the other person's stomach.

His face was still gentle, as if without any aggression. Even his expressionless face now looked like a little white rabbit that was very angry, but had to endure it because he was a herbivore.

Not at all. I just knocked away the prince's arrogance with one punch.

Just when they thought the young man was going to say something harsh, he turned around and changed direction, knelt on one knee, put his hand on his heart, lowered his head and apologized towards the throne.

"Your Majesty, I offended His Royal Highness the Crown Prince in a moment of haste. I am guilty."

The young man performed these actions smoothly and in one go. When the Minister of Finance and his wife arrived, they could only kneel beside their son and apologize together.

The Chancellor and his wife looked deeply distressed, as if Prince Woden was visibly upset by his son's actions, yet he was quite happy inside.

They understood that even though they had just come here to reason with Prince Woden, he had already hurt their son. No matter how much they wanted His Majesty to give their son justice, no matter how much they compensated, it could not make up for the harm their younger son had suffered.

Especially...

Father Ye looked at Ye Bai's face which had turned away, his eyes full of numbness, and he sighed deeply.

I hope Ye Bai can be more sober after what happened today.

Ye Bai treats Woden as a family member, but whether Woden really wants to become a family member with Ye Bai is still unknown.

After Ye Wangxing said those words, the banquet hall, which seemed to be frozen, began to flow.

Elina and Martha, who had just jumped up from the sofa, stood next to the Chancellor's family, opening and closing their mouths for a moment, not knowing what to say.

After a long while, Alina finally managed to utter, "Fortunately, my aunt didn't agree to the live broadcast plan proposed this year, and decided to continue with the old tradition of recording the show."

——Otherwise, this royal scandal today will occupy all the hot search lists in the entire empire and become a topic of laughter for everyone after dinner.

Martha nodded in agreement. He had previously thought that Her Majesty the Queen was a bit conservative, but now it seemed that her conservatism was the right thing to do!

She couldn't even imagine how she would be scolded by people on the Internet if this whole thing were to be spread out from beginning to end.

The royal ball, which was organized at the expense of taxpayers' money, actually caused a scandal in which the crown prince beat his own fiancé. There will definitely be people who will spread the criticism from the crown prince to the entire royal family, just like the previous public opinion.

As long as they deny it and release the recording, it will be like the royal scandal hundreds of years ago. Even if all the nobles of the empire saw the emperor and his brother having sex, as long as there is no real information coming out, it will be just wild history.

The public is the most fond of doubting. As long as the situation is not revealed from beginning to end and only a certain edited version is given, most of them will believe that version.

Moreover, there is now a buffer space for recording and broadcasting. After all, with the editors' amazing editing skills, it is possible that this material can be edited into a happy, harmonious and happy scene.

As Martha thought about it, her expression gradually became serious.

The voices of the guests present gradually became quieter. They looked at Prince Warden and the kneeling Chancellor of Finance and his family in front of them, and for a moment they didn't know which side they should stand on.

According to common sense, they should stand on the side of Prince Woden. However, His Majesty did not speak, and considering Prince Woden's own situation, they really did not want to speak on his behalf.

But if they stood on the side of the Minister of Finance, his eldest son had just beaten up His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!

He is still curled up on the ground like a shrimp, unable to make any sound.

Elena didn't have this worry. After all, with her identity, it didn't matter which side she was on. But she didn't dare to take sides casually. Otherwise, if she released the wrong information and gave the wrong signal to the officials around her, it would be a sin.

There is another reason why Elina is so conflicted.

She looked at the four men beside her with a serious expression.

After coming over, the four men whispered about the news with the nobles beside them, and then they looked at Prince Woden lying on the ground with thoughtful eyes.

Elina didn't want to be remembered by these four men for disturbing their plans.

However, if you want to plot against Warden now, the situation may not be optimistic.

Even if Warden was not very popular among the people, he was still the Crown Prince of the entire empire. It was too disrespectful for Ye Wangxing to knock him to the ground with just one punch.

Fortunately, this matter can be big or small, and it all depends on the attitude of her aunt, the emperor.

Elina's expression tensed as she thought this, and Warden, who was lying on the ground, had the same thought as her.

Warden finally recovered from the severe pain. He forced himself to suppress the urge to vomit and was about to pick up his demeanor as a prince. When he looked up, he saw the Chancellor of Finance and his family kneeling beside him.

That pitiful look of admitting fault made Warden furious. They were just pretending! If they really admitted their fault, they shouldn't have hit him in the first place!

Thinking of this, the guilt that Woden had felt for Ye Bai being beaten by him immediately disappeared, and the look in his eyes when he looked at the Chancellor of Finance and his family was like a knife.

However, in places where Woden couldn't see, whether it was the gazes coming from the throne or the gazes beside him, the eyes looking at him were equally unfriendly.

But Warden couldn't care less about these things at this time. He was in extreme discomfort after being hit in the stomach and his gastric reflux was caused by the punch. His throat was burning with pain and his stomach felt like it was on fire.

Yes, he did hit Ye Bai, purely because Ye Bai honestly said things he didn't want to hear, whether it was asking him to do his best to deal with the public opinion, or asking him to be more careful during this period and not to find male or female companions, and to manage his reputation first.

All of this made Woden extremely annoyed, but his annoyance turned into ridicule when he heard Ye Bai say that he could help Woden create the illusion of a harmonious engaged couple.

"You actually came up with such a high-sounding excuse just to get close to me. Ye Bai, your love-brain is hopeless."

Warden said sarcastically at that time.

Ye Bai, who has always been hardworking and selfless, now has an anxious look on his face.

"Woden, don't you really feel that your current position is shaky? Don't be depressed. You should work hard to cultivate your reputation. With your current abilities, you can only sit firmly on the throne by winning the hearts of the people—"

When Warden heard this, he felt his head buzzing. Before Ye Bai could finish his words, he slapped Ye Bai in the face.

When did he need the support of the people to secure his throne? What about his current abilities? How could Ye Bai say such a thing? Hadn't he always supported him and believed that his abilities were fine?

By the time Warden realized that Ye Bai was telling the truth and that he always spoke harshly, he had already hit him.

Fortunately, the hit was not too severe. When Warden reacted, he wanted to reach out and help Ye Bai up.

However, when his eyes fell on Ye Bai's face, Warden's head buzzed again.

——Because he saw disappointment in Ye Bai’s eyes.

And that kind of disappointment was what he often saw in his mother's eyes during this period.

The look that was mixed with disappointment in his abilities, yet also the clear knowledge that there was no way for him to improve his abilities, made Warden dare not look up and could only lower his head, pretending to be strong but weak that there was no problem.

But it was fine if his mother looked at him like that, but Ye Bai? Who gave him the guts to look at him like that?

Warden poured the red wine in his hand without hesitation, not caring that after seeing his crazy behavior, the female companion next to him quickly retreated into the crowd like a crab on her high heels.

Female companion:! @QW#￥% (The kind of swear words used by the Empire)

However, the moment Woden poured out the red wine, he regretted it. He remembered that he was not at a party he hosted, nor was it some ordinary banquet. He was now in the royal palace.

—and he had just ruined the party.

But before he could do anything, a black shadow jumped in front of him, and then the severe pain from his stomach made him curl up and fall to the ground. When he came to his senses again, he was like this now.

Warden finally found the strength to speak, and he was about to ask his mother to sentence the Chancellor and his family to death for offending the royal family.

His mother was always very protective of her son in such matters, Warden thought with considerable confidence.

But before he could finish his words, he heard his mother sitting on the throne chuckle and say.

"——Mr. Ye, you were dancing with Janus just now. When did you offend Woden?"

These words stunned all the guests present, and they didn't understand what His Majesty meant by these words.

It was not until Prince Janus heard his sister's words that he pulled Ye Wangxing up from the ground at almost the speed of light, held him in his arms, posed a dance pose, blinked his glacial eyes at the young man, and signaled the young man in his arms to shut up if he wanted to say something.

Her Majesty the Emperor did not express any opposition to Prince Janus's actions throughout the whole process. On the contrary, she had a smile on her face.

Then your Majesty’s meaning is very clear.

None of the officials present were fools. Especially in a situation like this where His Royal Highness the Crown Prince had clearly made a big mistake, covering up the matter was in line with the unspoken rules of the political arena.

After all, it was His Royal Highness the Crown Prince who attacked first, and the person he hit was his fiancé. This kind of domestic violence is a serious crime under imperial law.

After all, he can even take action against his own relatives, so what about others? It's not like the technological development and civilization of the planet are in the development stage for a long time.

Moreover, given His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's status, if they were to resort to legal procedures, it would be disadvantageous to them.

But now His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was beaten by his fiancé's brother, which is a vague issue in the imperial law, so this matter can be let go. After all, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince slapped someone and was punched back, which is normal.

——Besides, everyone has heard about the behavior of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince’s fiancé. It is possible that he is unwilling to go through legal procedures.

Thinking of this, the guests present also spoke quickly.

"Your Highness, why did you fall to the ground?"

"Your Highness, where is your female companion?"

"Your Highness, why don't you go take care of your fiancé? He was accidentally spilled with red wine just now. The lounge is over there, you can go together."

All the guests present lied with their eyes open, ignoring Woden's pale face and disbelieving eyes, and spoke in a friendly and kind manner.

They weren't worried about Woden taking over and making things difficult for them. Firstly, they were doing this at the behest of His Majesty, and secondly...

The guests looked with hidden eyes at Prince Janus who was holding the young man and spinning around in the dance floor.

...It is still uncertain who will eventually ascend the throne.

The guests' gazes and words completely infuriated Woden.

He looked at the guests in front of him with disbelief, then looked at Ye Bai who had turned his face away from him since he poured the red wine, and finally he looked up at his mother sitting on the throne.

"Mother, why are you shielding them? They have offended me, the Crown Prince, and I should—"

Warden was halfway through his words when Elina covered his mouth.

She watched Warden rolling his eyes and struggling desperately in her hands, and couldn't help but let out a disgusted tut.

However, this was a task assigned by her mother, so Elena could only drag Warden aside while looking at him with disgust.

Elina understood why her aunt hadn't stood up for Woden today; after all, Woden wasn't in the right. Hitting one's fiancé in public was unacceptable no matter the situation, and when the other party was known for being a bootlicker, it made Woden seem even more like a beast.

But after all, it would not be good for the Crown Prince to make a mess of things, so His Majesty gave everyone a way out and they all took the opportunity to leave.

However, Elina did not expect that Woden still had no sense of the overall situation at this time and insisted that His Majesty deal with the Minister of Finance and his family.

Elina's eyes were rolling up to the sky, and the Finance Minister and his wife had already helped Ye Bai, who was sitting there, to his feet, and went to the lounge with the butler robot to rest.

By the time the Finance Minister and his wife returned with Ye Bai, Elena had been fighting with Warden for nearly 10 minutes.

Looking at Warden, who was harder to press than a pig on the sofa, Elina really wanted to ask her aunt for permission to slap him a few times to make him behave himself.

Fortunately, Warden's mouth was blocked, otherwise God knows what he would say.

But Elena still had to keep him until the end of the party.

After all, he is the prince.

Elina didn't know how many times she had thought of these words today. She was really about to vomit.

Worden was still bouncing on the sofa, while Martha and other friends helped hold down his limbs.

Warden: I can't help but turn into a stubborn fish~

Fortunately, the ball was halfway through and Her Majesty was about to begin her speech again.

At this time, Warden finally behaved himself. He knew that if he made any more noise at this time and caused problems in his mother's speech, he would really be kicked out of the position of crown prince.

Ye Bai looked at Warden, who had calmed down, with a numb expression on his face.

He lowered his head, and the red marks on his face from the slap had disappeared completely with the help of the robot. Now he looked as good as when he first entered the banquet.

Ye Bai really didn't understand why Woden had become like this? And why had they come to this point?

Is it his fault?

Ye Bai's emotions really wanted to tell him that it was his fault, but his reason pulled him back.

No, he was not wrong.

He had done all he could for Worden.

Woden himself is a bad man, a childish guy who ignored the overall situation and didn't think about how embarrassed His Majesty would be because of this matter.

Ye Bai looked at the ground and listened to His Majesty's speech with a bitter expression.

But what good would it do him to realize it now? His mind told him that he shouldn't like Woden, but his emotions told him that he couldn't give up all those years of dedication and friendship, and besides...

Is there anyone around Woden who can control him? Especially after His Majesty the Emperor has given up on him?

He is the crown prince and will become the emperor in the future. If he makes the wrong decision, it will really cause problems throughout the empire. He cannot shift the blame to others because of this.

Ye Bai was thinking, and just when his eyes were about to become firm, His Majesty the Emperor, who was standing in front of the throne and giving a speech, added a sentence after his closing remarks.

"Here, I have another piece of good news to share with you, my dear ministers and my subjects."

His Majesty the Emperor's face was full of smiles, and one could not tell his age from his aura.

Then she clapped her hands, and two babies still in swaddling clothes suddenly appeared on the holographic screen behind her.

—and the baby clothes they wore were emblazoned with the royal emblem.

"The royal family has welcomed a little princess and a little prince. Cheers to the two crown princes, my subjects."

Under everyone's shocked gaze, His Majesty the Emperor took the red wine glass handed to him by the butler robot with a smile and held it high.

She looked at Woden, whose eyes were already bloodshot, with a look of pity and a sigh in her eyes. Finally, she spoke with indifference.

"Everyone, cheers! The future of the country!"

"Respect! The future of the country!"

After the guests finished shouting, they put down their wine glasses and felt that tonight's gossips were just one after another.

His Majesty secretly gave birth to two children without letting anyone know, and they only found out when His Majesty took the initiative to tell them. His Majesty is very tight-lipped.

Fortunately, they also understood why the entire palace was under martial law some time ago, and even Prince Woden was driven to live in a room outside the palace. This was because they were afraid that Prince Woden would attack the two crown princes.

But when they think about what Prince Woden has done, they are worried because they are His Majesty. After all, Prince Woden's style of behavior is like that of a guy who would attack his own brother or sister.

but……

The guests exchanged glances with each other and couldn't help but look at Prince Woden who seemed to be still in a daze on the sofa.

It seems that Prince Woden is really going to lose his position as crown prince?

Even Ye Bai was a little dazed. He was just thinking, if Woden was going to ascend the throne and he broke off his engagement with him, and there was no one around him who could persuade him, what should the empire do?

Your Majesty's actions directly solved his worries. Yes, if Warden is not capable, then can't we just replace him with someone else?

but……

Ye Bai turned his head and saw Warden looking dazed and somewhat pitiful, and he couldn't help but feel soft-hearted again.

——Elena, who was standing by, rolled her eyes so hard that her eyes became sore.

"I don't know who Ye Bai inherited this personality from. How come he has no principles when he sees others in pity? This guy just hit him!"

Elina complained madly, so she relaxed her grip a little.

Martha and her other friends couldn't help but roll their eyes when they saw Ye's appearance.

——However, who would have thought that Prince Woden would take this opportunity to break free from their restraints.

Before Elena could catch Warden, Warden slipped out of Elena's hands as if he was sprinting, and rushed forward aggressively.

Even he gritted his teeth and rushed to the center of the dance floor.

Looking at the rushing Prince Warden, the butler robot and security robot instantly came to the front of His Majesty the Emperor, intending to protect His Majesty the Emperor.

Her Majesty the Emperor was not arrogant. She thought that since she was Woden's biological mother, Woden did not dare to hit her.

but……

However, Warden did not rush to the Emperor. Instead, he turned around and rushed towards another person, which surprised everyone present.

Because it was not Prince Janus, nor the Chancellor of Finance, who was standing there.

——But it was Ye Wangxing who had just punched Warden.

Ye Wangxing seemed to be frightened silly, standing there blankly without avoiding Prince Warden who rushed towards him with his fists clenched.

Prince Woden also seemed to be rushing towards Ye Wangxing unhindered.

Then……

He was blocked by four figures.

Prince Janus and Admiral Otas, the two with the highest martial power, directly held him in place. Although they did not force him to kneel on the ground, their iron-like hands made it difficult for Woden to break free.

Warden was so angry that he started cursing.

"Ye Wangxing! All of this is your fault! If you hadn't punched me today! If you hadn't created that platform! Mother would never have given up on me!"

He was like a beagle that had passed its prime, his cuteness plummeted, and all that remained was the braying of a big-eared weird donkey.

Ye Bai rushed over at this time and wanted to calm down Warden, but was pulled aside by Elena who came over.

"Do you want to hold your brother back?" Elena said seriously.

Ye Bai looked at the crazy Warden, and then looked at his brother who stood up for him tonight.

Finally, there was silence.

The Chancellor of Finance and his wife wanted to come over and seek justice for their son, but the remaining two spoke faster than them.

"Your Highness the Crown Prince looks drunk. He's talking nonsense."

Count Uno said with a smile, not bothering with what Woden said.

The cat-eyed man next to him was even more irritable than Warden, and he directly called the butler robot.

"He's drunk and crazy. Send him to his room to prevent him from escaping. Understand?"

The butler robot took Woden away without saying a word. Woden struggled even harder and his attack range gradually widened.

...It finally affected the four people who had just stopped him.

"...What is your relationship with Ye Wangxing? Is he your father? Why are you so protective of him?"

Warden said angrily.

Then...

He saw the four men in front of him, straightened his clothes, cleared his throat and said with a smile.

"His partner/lover/husband/boyfriend."

Worden was silent.

The butler robot also stopped Lawarden's robotic arm.

The banquet hall, which had been noisy just now, immediately became quiet.

Elina, who was still scolding Ye Bai, suddenly turned her head and almost broke her neck without even crying out.

Ye Bai, who had just been taught a lesson by Elina, was shocked and looked at his brother following Elina's gaze.

Ye Wangxing still had that gentle face, like a little animal that could be bullied at any time. Compared with the four men whose faces were already red after they reacted, it seemed as if he was the one being bullied.

But...what does it mean to use the most cowardly face to do the biggest thing!

Ye Bai silently shifted his gaze to his biological father who had slapped him in the face and his biological mother who was sighing.

"Dad, Mom, it seems that even if the Woden incident hadn't happened, our family would be finished."
