"Why are you gritting your teeth? Are you shy because I said that? Don't be like that. I've never been shy about having someone I like, and you're still hiding things from me. That's not very nice of you!"
Song Xiwei's words made Wu Lai roll his eyes at her, "Why do you talk so much!"
"I didn't say anything in the first place, because I was afraid that talking to you would attract attention and give me away. But you're the one who initiated the conversation, aren't you the one who asked me first if I was bored?"
Song Xiwei said that Wu Lai had lost his temper.
He really wanted to leave on the spot.
"Look, a few more fairies have arrived, and they're even prettier than the ones from before. Look, the one in the middle with the purple dress has a really nice air about her. Do you like her? She's secretly looking at you!" Song Xiwei covered half her face with her sleeve and whispered excitedly to Wu Lai.
Wu Lai got angry when he heard Song Xiwei's words, "Are you ever going to stop?"
"You really don't like it?" Song Xiwei asked, puzzled. She looked at the purple-clad fairy and Wu Lai and thought they were a perfect match.
She didn't know if it was because she couldn't see Aoqian now, but she was particularly enthusiastic about matchmaking.
"I have someone I like..." Wu Lai said in a defiant tone.
"Huh? Really? I've never heard you mention this before. You've kept it well hidden. So, is she in the Heavenly Palace right now?" Song Xiwei asked hurriedly.
Wu Lai responded thoughtfully, "Hmm."
"Ahem, at the banquet?" Song Xiwei asked again.
Wu Lai's heart pounded, and his ears turned slightly red. "Yes."
Song Xiwei was excited and her eyebrows danced with joy. "Who is it?" Song Xiwei's eyes swept around the banquet. Most of the fairies did seem to have a good impression of Wulai. She wondered which one Wulai liked.
"What color clothes is the person you like wearing today?" Song Xiwei asked.
Wu Lai glanced at Song Xiwei out of the corner of his eye, "White-gray, I guess."
"Huh?" Song Xiwei noticed that among all the fairies, none of them were dressed in white or gray. However, there was one dressed in white and gray, who seemed to be a family member of a celestial official. They looked like an old married couple.
She felt inexplicably sad for Wu Lai. "Have you been secretly in love with him all this time?"
Wu Lai's heart pounded wildly, and he nervously avoided his gaze. "I guess so."
"So, you haven't confessed your feelings to anyone yet?" Song Xiwei didn't expect Wu Lai to be so timid.
"I..." Wu Lai glanced at Song Xiwei furtively, feeling a pang of unease. "Knowing she already has someone she loves, should I still confess my feelings?"
"Hey, didn't you try to win her over back then? Did she already have someone else in her heart when you met her?" Song Xiwei asked.
Wu Lai lowered his eyes and sighed, "I suppose so. It's too late... There's no room left for me in her heart."
Hearing Wu Lai's dejected words, Song Xiwei looked at the loving couple, the Heavenly Official and his wife in a white-gray dress, and couldn't help but sigh to Wu Lai, "Indeed, those two look very affectionate. You've lost at the starting line."
Wu Lai found Song Xiwei's words a bit strange at first glance. He looked up and saw Song Xiwei staring at a celestial official and his wife not far away.
Before Wu Lai could even process what Song Xiwei was planning, he heard Song Xiwei say softly, "Forget about her. Look, she's pregnant and loves the man next to her. You can't interfere. Just wait, you'll meet your destined one..."
Wu Lai: "!!!"
If he weren't afraid of attracting attention, he would have loved to shut Song Xiwei up on the spot. What kind of eyes did she have, thinking he liked someone else's married woman...
