Chapter 58
Originally, Ye Bai thought that today was just an ordinary day. He attended an ordinary banquet, chatted with friends, and was scolded by everyone because of Woden's matter.
Then he had a normal quarrel with them, took credit in front of Worden, and was heartbroken by Worden's affairs. Everything was so normal, just like what he did at every banquet.
But now…
Ye Wangxing’s incident was like a turning point in World War II, which instantly knocked Ye Bai from his daily tasks to a bloody theater.
Elina was also in a trance. When she came here today, her mother specifically told her to dress up beautifully and see if she could talk to Admiral Otas.
After all, this admiral is young and capable, not to mention he has an extremely strong and beautiful body and a handsome face.
——Then she heard that this person had just gotten together with the eldest son of the Chancellor of the Exchequer.
The others were also shocked in their own ways. Although they didn't have many feelings for these people, they were more or less told by their families to strike up a conversation with them.
——Then I found out that all these big shots were dating the eldest son of the Ye family.
However, after the shock, their inner desire for gossip also burned fiercely. Most of them were playboys at home, so they did not think of more questions for a while and just wanted to know what happened at that time.
Elina spoke first, and as soon as she opened her mouth, she pulled the time back to an hour ago.
——At that time, Elina was on her way to look for Ye Bai with her friends.
She had been a little irritable in the box before, but they were friends after all, and even if it was just a superficial relationship, she had to at least pretend to be friends.
So while Alina and the others were searching, they turned on the thermal imaging on the computer to determine where Ye Bai was. However, what they didn't expect was that they didn't find Ye Bai, but they did find a couple.
Elina felt a little embarrassed at the time. She turned off the thermal imaging positioning on the computer and planned to leave.
But the voice made Elina stop involuntarily. After listening for a while, she realized that the male voice that was explaining in a low voice was actually Ye Bai's brother!
Elena was immediately a little surprised. Why did Ye Wangxing appear here? Shouldn’t he be promoting his small company at the banquet?
In fact, that country bumpkin was very popular in the aristocratic circle. After all, the Chancellor of Finance had a young master in his family, and this matter really made them a little confused.
When the emperor in the palace asked them, the answer he got was that the young master stayed in the countryside because the old woman was lonely, so he planned to let the child accompany the old woman, which delayed the child.
However, other noble families unanimously believed that the reason could not be that simple.
The Chancellor's family did not give any explanation for this matter. They just honestly compensated the child they abandoned in the countryside. It seemed that they really wanted to take the child back.
It seemed that they felt they owed this child who was abandoned in the countryside when he was born, so they tried their best to help him make connections during this period, and helped his small company gradually open up the market in the capital.
——However, the nobles in the metropolitan area felt that the Finance Minister’s move was to leave himself a way out.
After all, Ye Bai, whom the Minister of Finance and others had tried their best to train, seemed to have gone crazy for His Royal Highness Crown Prince Woden.
This Young Master Ye is almost working like a slave for Woden - although it's almost the same now.
Seeing that there was no hope for his younger son, it was understandable that the Chancellor of the Exchequer brought his eldest son back from the countryside.
We have to leave a normal person at home, right?
Even Ye Bai's friends could understand this. If Ye Bai was a little more reliable, they would all go to the Ye family's banquet and help Ye Bai regain his power. But now...
Even Ye Bai's friends felt that if the Ye family was really handed over to Ye Bai, he would turn around and sell out the Ye family and live happily ever after with Woden.
Of course, whether Worden is happy about it is another matter.
So even if they were Ye Bai's friends, they didn't have the face to ask the Minister of Finance to hand over his property just to let Ye Bai have a relationship.
This also meant that although they laughed at Ye Wangxing in private and thought that he would never inherit the family property, they were actually urging Ye Bai to quickly let his parents decide on the inheritance rights.
Unfortunately, Ye Bai's love brain is so pure that he just left the matter alone. Instead, he went to see Woden every day and even took credit for it from Woden.
The friend who had advised him to ask for more favors from his parents was so angry that he didn't even come to the party.
But why is this person here now?
Elina and her friends instantly forgot about looking for Ye Bai and instead looked to see who was arguing with whom.
Yes, quarrel.
In addition to Ye Wangxing's voice, there was also a magnetic male voice on the scene.
Moreover, the male voice sounded quite familiar, which made Elina and her friends quite curious. They wondered who had such a strange taste to fall in love with that bumpkin who just came back from the countryside.
However, when I looked at the probe...
"hiss--!"
They gasped and immediately covered their mouths to prevent themselves from screaming.
Their eyes were fixed on the tall young man standing opposite Ye Wangxing.
The man was tall, and although he looked thin, that was only in comparison with his height.
——At least he stood in front of Ye Wangxing and could completely cover him.
Elina felt that the world might have gone crazy.
He is the marshal's only son. Although he is not very outstanding in combat, he is an extremely outstanding mechanical designer!
And this guy is also very good-looking, with a pair of beautiful cat eyes and is quite handsome. Although he is only 1.9 meters tall, he looks like a beautiful big cat.
However, if you want to approach him with this idea in mind, you are totally wrong. He just looks like a cat, but his temper is that of a young master of a marshal's family.
If they disagree with each other, he will really take action.
This boy doesn't have the awkward emotions that other children have when facing the glory of their parents. He uses his father whenever he needs him and is never pretentious.
But now, Lord Semos, who always kept everyone at a distance and rolled his eyes at them, was actually staying alone with that little country bumpkin? ? ?
He even started to mock that little country bumpkin???
This is really rare, so rare that it's like one sausage costs three yuan, but two sausages cost six yuan!
- At least for Elina and her friends, at so many social banquets every year, they have never seen this person show any emotions towards other people.
Not to mention sarcasm, he would just roll his eyes when someone sarcastically mocked him.
Not to mention the intense irony like today.
However, what surprised them even more was what happened below.
"…So this is why you didn't even tell me you were coming to Capital Star after you broke up with me? Ye Wangxing, you are very good."
The man narrowed his cat-like eyes. His voice was soft but full of oppression. At least the little bumpkin opposite him looked a little pale.
Although he is called a small bumpkin, the young man opposite is actually not ugly. On the contrary, his eyes are like the eyes of some small animal.
Although he doesn't look as pitiful as Ye Bai, he always makes people feel like a frightened puppy.
But unfortunately, the cat-eyed man opposite didn't seem to buy it. He just narrowed his eyes and turned to leave.
Although Alina was still a little shocked when she saw this scene, that Ye Wangxing actually knew Lord Semos, but after seeing the subsequent scene, Alina sighed in her heart and shook her head.
Ye Wangxing really doesn't know how to seize the opportunity.
But the next second...
Elina watched as the young man, who just looked like a frightened animal, took a deep breath, as if mustering up his courage, and stepped forward to hold Lord Semos' hand.
"Is Ye Wangxing looking for death? Lord Samos is not such a good-tempered person!" Elina screamed in her heart.
——Then Elina looked at Lord Semos and the corner of his mouth curled up for a moment.
Before Ye Wangxing looked up, he forced the corners of his mouth down, turned his head and spoke.
"Why, you know you're wrong—"
The man was speaking calmly, but was suddenly interrupted by the young man.
"…Sorry, I just thought you didn't want to see me after the breakup. After all, everyone says that an ex-boyfriend should be as good as dead."
The young man said in a low voice.
"I... don't want you to hate me. Sorry."
While apologizing, the young man slowly raised his head and revealed his wet eyes.
This made the man standing in front of him stand there in a daze with his cat eyes open.
He opened and closed his mouth as if he was about to utter some harsh words, but in the end he just spoke softly.
"...If you contact me, I won't hate you. We broke up only because of practical reasons, not because I have no feelings for you anymore."
He spoke in a low voice, and if it weren't for the silence around them, Elina wouldn't have been able to hear him.
"Really?"
The voice belonging to the youth sounded with joy.
But the man had already turned his head away and didn't dare to look at the young man in front of him.
The situation between the two of them came to a standstill again, which made Elina anxious for some reason. She looked at the scene in front of her and wished she could go forward and give the two of them a push.
——Until the young man lifted the man’s hand and placed a small furry thing in it.
The man looked back in confusion and saw a furry, red object in his hand - a persimmon?
Elina was immediately captivated by the furry persimmon.
The persimmon was made very delicately. The texture of the fuzz and the extent to which it collapsed when touched proved how good it felt.
Even the green leaves on the red fruits are not too saturated, and look just right.
"I made this myself, using the fur of the chinchilla, which is only found on Nebra. One of their follicles can grow nearly 500 hairs. Although millions of furs may not be a big deal to you, this is the best material I can find."
The young man looked up with some relief, looked directly into the eyes of the man opposite him and said with a smile.
"…This is the gift I prepared for you when I came to the Capital Planet. I originally thought I would never be able to give it to you."
"Fortunately, it was delivered to you."
Elina: ...
Wait a minute, this little bumpkin seems to be quite good at flirting?
Alina really didn't expect that the little bumpkin was like this in private.
She watched as Lord Semos looked at the little bumpkin with a sarcastic expression just now, and after a few words, his eyes began to become dazed when he looked at the little bumpkin.
——He even gave the little bumpkin the names of a few suppliers within his sphere of influence.
The little bumpkin was not embarrassed at all. He accepted it generously and gave Lord Semos a hug.
"We'll still be friends from now on, right?"
The little bumpkin asked hopefully.
——Mr. Semios immediately nodded like a cuckoo in an antique clock.
But this time, Elina rarely slandered the little bumpkin. After all...
She and her friends were a little overwhelmed.
"Although our statuses are not compatible, I don't mind speaking up for that little bumpkin if he makes a scene in front of His Majesty."
Elina thought a little awkwardly.
However, when she looked up again, she saw a man in military uniform next to Lord Semos.
Elina recognized him. That was the assistant that the Marshal had assigned to Semos, specifically to prevent the Marshal's son from being cheated.
As expected, they soon began to analyze what Ye Wangxing's purpose was in coming here this time, and that the gift he gave to Lord Semos was to arouse his emotions, so as to achieve the goal of getting those suppliers from Semos.
And Lord Semos's expression also became gloomy.
This made Elena feel worried about the little bumpkin.
She felt that the little bumpkin's feelings might be true. After all, Elena believed that no matter how great the benefits were, she would not spend millions to buy a piece of fur for a man.
"…Okay, I get it, Cliff."
However, Lord Semos did not seem to intend to talk more on this topic. He just spoke coldly to the subordinates in front of him.
But the subordinate said more to Lord Semos very excitedly. The irritating words made Lord Semos quite impatient. He frowned, waved his hand and said.
"I know Ye Wangxing is after my money and my connections. I also know he has other purposes. I will find out all his purposes. I have my own pace, so don't interfere."
Lord Semos's words seemed to appease his subordinate, and he stopped talking. However, Elena began to worry about Ye Wangxing.
If this little country bumpkin knew that his sincerity was misunderstood like this...
Elina still felt a little reluctant.
——Then she saw Lord Semos asking his subordinates to find a hard, transparent box.
In front of his subordinates, he carefully put the persimmon in.
Elina: ...
Is this your rhythm too, sir?
After Elina finished her story, most people in the box were stunned for a long time, as if they were shocked by the so-called "rhythm" of Lord Samos.
In the end, it was Ye Bai who spoke first, he said in shock.
"No, Lord Semos was coaxed so quickly?"
"Who knows? But I sincerely decided to help this couple in love before. Now, I have become a clown."
When Elina thought about how one of the people in the beautiful scene she had just seen turned around and looked for someone else, she suddenly became angry.
—Then she got angry for a moment.
He turned around and started asking other people what scene they saw.
"I saw Prince Janus on the balcony, but they turned on the shielding, so I couldn't hear any sound. I could only see that Prince Janus had a stern face at first, but after Ye Wangxing said a few words, he took out a thick blanket from somewhere and put it in Prince Janus' arms, and then he smiled."
The boy who said this had a weak voice, and it was obvious that he had also experienced the same house collapse as Alina.
He just couldn't understand it. Prince Janus was His Majesty's brother! How dare this man be so fickle with others while he was hanging this prince?
And isn’t Prince Janus a little too gullible?
"It's the same with Count Uno. I saw it on the terrace of the Sky Garden. Originally, this richest man was quite capable. He almost took Ye Wangxing to bed, but he put a box of fruit in his hand, so he just dared to hug her."
The girl who said this also sounded listless. It was obvious that she couldn't understand. Even if Count Uno didn't have a brother like Prince Janus, His Majesty, he was still the richest man in the empire!
How could this person be so gullible?
The more Ye Bai listened, the more he felt that this process sounded familiar: "It seemed to be the same when Ye Wangxing was with Admiral Otas. Admiral Otas was originally quite angry, but after Ye Wangxing put a ring on his hand, he temporarily calmed down."
Ye Bai then added: "But Admiral Otas is better, at least he got the kiss."
Ye Bai immediately received angry glares from everyone.
But at this moment, a weak voice sounded.
"Now doesn't seem to be the time for gossip, there is something I have wanted to say for a long time."
Everyone looked in that direction, and the lady who spoke swallowed and spoke in a trembling voice.
"You said that if we discovered the secret of these four people, and those four people knew it, and we knew it, then after those four people dealt with Ye Wangxing..."
——Will they take care of us as well?
The young masters and young ladies present turned pale instantly.
They realized something instantly.
Are they worthy of eating such a big melon?
Any one of these four people would be a big shot who could influence policies throughout the empire.
What if any of them accidentally let the cat out of the bag, causing those people to become angry and embarrassed when dealing with Ye Wangxing, and deal with them together? Then they might really be exiled to an alien planet because of their power!
It is even possible that he would be exiled to the country planet where that country bumpkin came from.
However, this problem cannot be solved by just avoiding it. They have to go through it from beginning to end and decide on their next plans after confirming the situation.
...It's not because these people are about to die and plan to eat a full melon before dying bravely.
"So, how did Ye Wangxing hook up with those four people?"
Ye Bai said puzzledly.
He didn't even have time to think about Woden, nor did he have time to mourn his twisted love. He just wanted to know how Ye Wangxing got involved with those four people.
"—they didn't even speak to each other at the party!"
The young man with a delicate face said incredulously.
The other young masters and young ladies also nodded and recalled what happened at the banquet.
Today's banquet is the regular opening banquet of the social season, so most of the people who come are young people, even Prince Woden is here.
As the young master of the Finance Minister's family, Ye Bai was naturally also among the invited guests.
However, as soon as Ye Bai arrived, he approached Woden like a dog, and the Minister of Finance and his wife sighed as if they were used to it, and then began to chat with other officials.
As for the eldest young master of the Ye family who came with them, he was also a country bumpkin who was laughed at by other nobles and celebrities. They just let him move around freely and make friends with others.
"But now it seems that I have made friends, but I'm not sure what kind of friends they are." Elina thought to herself, and the scene in her mind finally came back to the meeting.
"Wait, I think I saw Ye Wangxing talking to Prince Janus."
Elina said, still a little shocked.
"But Prince Janus just glanced at Ye Wangxing, rolled his eyes slightly, and left. He didn't talk to Ye Wangxing!"
At this time, the others finally recalled the scenes they occasionally saw at the banquet, but just like before, the people were always changing, and the only one who remained unchanged was Ye Wangxing.
"I thought he was promoting his small, shabby company again, which is why those big shots didn't talk to him much after seeing him. Now it seems..."
All the young masters and young ladies present felt that there was a red nose looming on their faces.
They thought he was trying to sell something to them, but it turned out that he was having a private date with the four people he hadn't even looked at at the party.
"But that's unlikely. After all, I was out for only an hour. You should have seen me when I was out looking for me. It wouldn't have been too long. He couldn't have dated four people in just one hour, right?!"
Ye Bai still said with some disbelief.
Elina said with an indescribable expression.
"Actually, it's possible if the time is tight."
After all, that's how her mother dated her lovers.
But...how tight is the time?
Ye Bai walked out of the box in a daze, his mind still on what had just happened in the box. This also caused his brain to be in a daze. He didn't even notice when Warden was standing in front of him on the right, and he just walked past him.
This made Woden feel a little unbelievable. He frowned, looked at Ye Bai who was walking away from him, and asked his friends around him.
"What game is Ye Bai planning to play this time? Playing hard to get?"
As an old friend of Prince Woden, he naturally had a different amount of information from the people who were in the pavilion before, so he just shrugged at Ye Bai, then turned around and said numbly.
"Who knows, but he pretended pretty well this time."
Prince Woden's old friend shrugged.
It's not that he has no sympathy for Ye Bai, but Ye Bai has done so many crazy things, and he has also tried to attract Warden's attention by committing suicide.
Although he became much more obedient and never used this trick again after the Chancellor of the Exchequer really used family rules to beat him up and even called in the Federal Anti-Domestic Violence Association, he evolved a little after a month or two and started playing hard to get with Woden.
Specifically, she tried to pretend not to care about Worden and then waited for Worden to coax her.
However, apart from his poor acting skills when playing this trick, he would be able to comfort himself in just a week or two, so this trick never worked in Woden.
After hearing what his old friend said, Woden suppressed his doubts, but he still sent Ye Bai a message, inviting him to a party a week later.
"... After all, he is my fiancé, so I should give him the respect he deserves. I hope he will be more sensible when the time comes."
Worden thought, but he turned around and put aside the little panic in his heart and started flirting with a boy at the scene.
Ye Bai didn't pay attention to what Warden was thinking. He had already arrived at the door of the lounge and just happened to see Ye Wangxing using the light computer to process something.
Ye Bai walked over and sat down next to Ye Wangxing, without noticing that the products on the display picture that Ye Wangxing sent to his subordinates on the opposite side looked quite familiar.
He just looked at Ye Wangxing carefully, as if he had met him for the first day.
'How dare he chase four men at the same time within an hour?'
Ye Bai thought in shock.
"——They haven't even discovered it yet!"
