"Don't be angry. I actually really want to support you, but look, they're really in a good relationship. It's not very ethical for you to force them to break it up..."
"!!!"
Wu Lai couldn't resist any longer and casually picked up a piece of pastry and handed it to Song Xiwei.
Song Xiwei: "..."
Is it appropriate for her, as a servant, to eat in public on such a occasion?
Not wanting to alert the enemy, and even more so not wanting to ruin the plan, Song Xiwei reluctantly refused after some thought.
"I'm not hungry. Put the pastries down. If I've hit the nail on the head, you can use the pastries to shut me up, you..."
"I don't like her! Stop talking nonsense!" Wu Lai was annoyed.
Song Xiwei, with an air of knowing everything, reached out and patted Wu Lai's shoulder, "Okay, okay, you don't like her..."
Hearing Song Xiwei's completely disbelieving tone, Wu Lai felt a heart attack. "What exactly did you come here for today! Can you please stop trying to play matchmaker!"
"I didn't just randomly matchmake you two, you're still far from settled..." Song Xi sighed softly, "I was thinking that once I've finished my business, I'll leave you and go back to my sweetheart. If you're still all alone then, without anyone you love by your side, I'm afraid you'll be lonely. Besides, you yourself admitted that the person you love is right here, so that's why I..."
"Yes, I admit it. So what if the person I like is here? She won't stay for me..."
Wu Lai's voice carried a hint of sadness.
He hadn't forgotten the mission he was entrusted with, but when he heard Song Xiwei say she was leaving him, he felt an overwhelming sadness.
Despite his inability to control his uncontrollable emotional fluctuations, Song Xiwei still noticed them.
"Seeing how deeply you love her, if you're too shy to ask, I can go and ask her for you, see if there's still a chance?" Song Xiwei said, glancing meaningfully at the wife of the Heavenly Official opposite her.
Wu Lai was so angry he almost vomited blood. "What does this have to do with her?!"
Song Xiwei thought Wu Lai was embarrassed, so she quickly explained, "Don't worry, I won't mention it was you. I'm just testing the waters..."
"I never said I liked married women. I don't know that woman at all, nor do I like her. Please don't do anything reckless!" Wu Lai said through gritted teeth.
Seeing that Wu Lai was truly anxious, she said, "Uh, did I make a mistake? But today, she's the only one here who matches what you said, wearing white and gray clothes..."
Wu Lai snorted, "Who said she was the only one wearing white and gray clothes? Think about it again."
Song Xiwei scanned all the women at the banquet once more to confirm, and then belatedly looked down at herself...
Then, Song Xiwei was shocked and exclaimed, "You, you, you..."
"What?" Song Xi stammered, which amused Wu Lai.
"The person you like... it's not me, is it? You're kidding me, right? You know I have someone I like. Don't love me, it's pointless. I know I might be the kind of person everyone likes, and you guys often say I have a special charm that no one can resist liking me once they're around me. I never thought even you would... These past few days, you seemed perfectly normal to me, we even teased each other all the time. I thought you treated me like a buddy, but I never imagined you still had these feelings for me..."
After a moment of great surprise, Song Xiwei launched into a long and rambling discourse.
Wu Lai glared at her fiercely, "Are you ever going to stop?"
"You don't like me, do you? Who likes someone who's so mean to others? Are you saying that on purpose? I think you definitely don't like me because you're so mean, it's impossible for a woman to like you..." Song Xiwei was trying to save face.
Wu Lai, however, had no idea what had gotten into him.
"If I'm not mean to you, will you like me?"
Wu Lai's words struck Song Xiwei like a thunderbolt.
Goodness, is this just teasing her, or...?
