"Jiang Xuelin, why are you looking at me like that?"

Jiang Xuelin snapped out of her daze, blinked, then smiled playfully and suddenly reached out to hook Fu Hanlai's chin. Fu Hanlai was still completely bewildered, not knowing what Jiang Xuelin was doing.

"I didn't see anything, I just wanted to see whose handsome young man this is, so righteous and chivalrous? Why not snatch him back as my husband?"

Fu Hanlai: "..."

Fu Hanlai's somewhat bewildered eyes slowly widened as he looked at Jiang Xuelin's smiling face. Suddenly, he leaned back and fell to the ground from his chair.

Everyone else was startled by the commotion and immediately looked over, only to see Fu Hanlai blushing.

The only one who noticed the aftermath of their conversation was: "..."

Tsk!

He acts like everyone has a wife.

Jiang Xuelin did not expect Fu Hanlai's reaction to be so strong.

Realizing he had overreacted, Fu Hanlai's face turned even redder. He felt not only his face but his whole body burning up, and he became somewhat embarrassed and angry.

"Jiang Xuelin, how could you be so shameless? Can't you...can't you have any self-respect?!"

As luck would have it, the private room they chose was right next to Emperor Xuande and Marquis Jing'an. Even sitting in the well-soundproofed room, they could hear the noisy commotion next door. Emperor Xuande, who was talking to Marquis Jing'an, heard the loud shouting and immediately put down his chopsticks with a headache. He then gave an order to Yan Liying, who was serving behind him.

Yan Liying smiled, nodded, and went out.

Seeing Fu Hanlai's flushed face, Jiang Xuelin couldn't help but laugh. She got up and went over, but Fu Hanlai retreated as if facing some kind of monster, pressing himself against the wall of the private room.

"No, no, don't come any closer! What kind of behavior is this!"

While scolding Jiang Xuelin, Fu Hanlai kept looking around with his glasses on, making sure not to look at her.
