Chapter 62
Worden received the news through a friend of his male companion while he was chatting with friends on the sofa about the recent situation.
At this moment, the boy who seemed to be just worried about his friend rushed over and said something like "Young Master Ye couldn't stand his male companion and had pushed him into the water."
While he was speaking, he did not forget to show Warden his kindest, most helpless and most needy side. However, Warden was already familiar with this scene. Without even looking at the other party, he began to think, what was going on?
Warden's first reaction was disbelief. Ye Bai had been targeted so many times by the men and women around him, but not a single time was it directed at them - they were all directed at him.
He was upset every time she cried.
This time it was probably his male companion's little trick.
Worden thought.
However, he was willing to indulge himself. This male companion was quite to his liking, and the companies of his male companion's family had been doing business with him recently, so he didn't mind giving him a good face.
Anyway, Ye Bai has the protection of the Minister of Finance, so he won't suffer any loss. All he needs to do is say a few nice words to coax him.
Thinking of this, Warden stood up and hurried towards the scene of the incident with his friends and brothers.
but……
The situation at the scene was not what he expected.
Originally, he thought that Woden would see Ye Bai and his little male companion pulling hair together, making a mess, and only he could solve the situation.
But the situation was just the opposite. Ye Bai and his little male companion just stood there by the swimming pool, not saying a word.
However, the male companion's friend did not say anything wrong. There were indeed people at the scene who had a quarrel over relationship issues, and someone was pushed into the water.
——But not one.
There are two.
Warden stared blankly at the two people sitting on two chairs next to the pool.
Both of them were sitting on the chairs, wet, with water still dripping from their hair. It looked like they had been fished out not long ago, and their clothes were all stuck to their bodies.
In fact, if the situation was really as the male companion said, Warden would not be staring at the two people in front of him in a daze like he is now.
——But what if it was Prince Janus and Admiral Otas who fell into the water?
Even Admiral Otas was pushed into the water by his uncle, whom he had always been wary of.
Warden's mind was in a mess. For a moment he didn't know whether he should first suspect that his uncle had discovered that Admiral Otas had interfered with military power, so the two had quarreled over this matter, or whether he should suspect that his uncle was stupid enough to just start a quarrel on this occasion.
Just when Prince Woden was unable to react, the scene became silent.
Even the two people sitting in the chairs were strangely quiet.
Admiral Otas, whom he suspected of coveting the power of the military, was sitting in a chair, his whole body wet, and his black shirt was sticking to his body.
The fabric was of good quality and not see-through, but it looked tightly wrapped yet perfectly outlined the curves, making all the men and women around blush.
"So big..."
Elena's eyes widened.
She was indeed frightened by the two people falling into the water. Although she knew that it was probably due to jealousy, she had never seen such direct action.
But now she suddenly felt that all her previous fears were worth it.
But then she also found that this person seemed to be in a bad mood. But it made sense. Anyone would be angry if they were chatting with their ambiguous partner by the swimming pool and were suddenly pushed into the water.
——Especially the one who knocked the person into the water, he showed no sign of repentance.
Elina turned her attention to Prince Janus next to her.
At first glance, the boy's physique looked not much different from Admiral Otas, except that he was not as big.
And I don’t know if it’s because the royal family has such good nutrition, but the boy’s height is very big even when he sits there. It seems that his height is only a few centimeters shorter than Admiral Otas.
According to common sense, such a good figure combined with a white shirt should not be worse than Admiral Otas.
but……
Elina looked at Prince Janus, who even when he was sitting on a recliner, kept his back straight and his chin held high, with an expression that said, "I am a noble person and I am not afraid to talk to the guy next to me."
Those glacier-colored eyes glanced at the other person sideways, trying their best to express their contempt for the other person.
"But Your Highness, you look really stupid like this!"
Elina wailed inwardly.
Can't Prince Janus learn from Admiral Otas and just sit there doing nothing, looking aggrieved?
Didn't you notice that Young Master Ye didn't even glance at you, but only at Admiral Otas? His eyes looked genuinely distressed!
And just as Elena was wailing, Warden, as the protagonist of the party, finally remembered what he should do from the series of conspiracies in his mind.
"Ahem, what happened to you two?"
Woden said as he stepped forward.
In front of these two people, he puffed out his chest and tightened his stomach, trying his best to maintain his image as the royal heir, but unfortunately Elena and others on the side still found that Warden was still lacking in momentum in front of these two people.
"No, wasn't Woden quite good-looking when he was little? When did he become so ugly?"
Elina even found that Warden seemed to be less handsome than these two.
Although she can't be called ugly, it's definitely not good-looking compared to these two.
Martha seemed to have noticed it as well, and her brows furrowed.
Warden didn't know that someone was taking advantage of his looks behind the scenes. He was trying to mediate the conflict between the two.
but……
It seems that this contradiction is becoming more and more acute.
"...Uncle, this is your fault. Why did you suddenly rush out and bump into Admiral Otas?"
Woden turned his head and looked at Prince Janus, who still had a look of disdain on his face, with a bit of blame on his face, and his expression directly ignited Prince Janus's anger.
"Why don't you ask him what he was doing when I knocked him into the water?"
Prince Janus was furious and said, "His hands were almost around Ye Wangxing's waist, and his mouth was close to her face! She just came to the capital planet, what does he think of her? He has no idea about social etiquette! I was just rescuing innocent people!"
Prince Janus's words made sense, and the onlookers who didn't know the truth nodded.
Indeed, as a social etiquette for the nobles, direct contact or even such a close social distance is definitely not a decent way of communication. Even if you like someone, you should at least pursue them for two or three days. This is not the feudal era.
But those who know the truth...
"Martha, I think Prince Janus will be glad for his actions today when he learns the truth."
Elina whispered, "At least he beat up his rival, and even if Admiral Otas knew the truth later, he would have no reason to retaliate."
Martha nodded in deep agreement.
At this time, Ye Bai finally reconnected to the Internet. He first frowned as he looked at Warden standing in front of the two people.
He realized how dim Warden looked in front of these two people, but then he began to brainwash himself again.
After all, these two are among the most handsome men in the entire empire. Asking Warden to compete with them is like asking a cripple to compete in a running competition with the world champion of sprinting.
After successfully brainwashing himself, Ye Bai gradually realized what was going on, and his expression when he looked at Prince Janus was indescribable.
"I hope that after this person knows the truth and remembers the fight he had for my brother, he won't be so ashamed that he wants to jump into the river."
Ye Bai thought in despair.
But it would be even better if he could apply these words to himself.
After hearing what Prince Janus said, Woden immediately spoke as if he had caught some handle on Admiral Otas.
"Admiral Otas, you are being quite ungentlemanly. Even if Prince Janus acted impulsively, he was only protecting the people of the Empire."
As Woden spoke, he looked concerned about the country and the people of the empire, as if he was willing to fight against the powerful for their own sake.
Admiral Otas, who was sitting over there, sneered when he heard what Warden said, and then showed his fangs and sneered without any hesitation.
"If His Royal Highness were willing to open his noble mouth and ask us, he would find that Mr. Ye Wangxing and I are friends, not as dirty as he thinks."
As he said this, he raised his deep green eyes and glanced at Woden.
"Of course, this is also for your Highness the Crown Prince to hear. Changing sides after just a few words does not bode well for the Empire."
These words immediately touched Woden's heart. He looked at Admiral Otas with a red face and wanted to find a word to mock him, but the one who was faster than him was his uncle.
"Oh? Friendship? Using someone else's position? If I hadn't helped Ye Wangxing when I bumped into him, he would have fallen down with us. So, if you weren't too close to him socially, why did he get involved when I bumped into you?"
The young man in the white shirt caught the loophole in Admiral Otas's words and spoke very quickly.
But Admiral Otas did not say anything. He just looked at the young man in front of him sarcastically.
"We're reminiscing about the moment we first met each other. Wang Xing was quite immature back then. As for the details..."
The man raised an eyebrow and said, "No comment, Your Highness."
As soon as these words fell, Prince Janus's already extremely angry expression became even more angry.
Seeing the anger between the two growing, Warden felt angry but also helpless.
"I'm the one who really needs to be relied upon. Without me to stop the fight, they'd probably start fighting again."
As Warden thought about this, his originally straight back tensed even more. He tried his best to stop the fight and signaled his assistant to take a few photos of him trying to stop the fight, which he could then post on social media to build momentum for him.
But... for some reason, the more he tried to stop the fight, the angrier they became.
Later, there were even signs that the two of them were going to fight again.
Elina knew why. She looked at Martha beside her and sighed deeply.
"...When will Woden realize that with his language skills, if it weren't for everyone giving face to his Majesty behind him, he would have been beaten long ago."
Elina said quietly, but Martha shook her head and muttered in the same low voice.
"It's difficult. After all, he is His Majesty's biological son."
"As expected, the watershed of life is amniotic fluid. Your Majesty, it's really hard for him to live to this day."
Elina whispered as she tutted and shook her head at Prince Warden.
Look at the words he used to persuade people.
"Give me some face and let this go." "Uncle, it's just a chat between friends, it's nothing, it's just that they didn't bring you along. Don't be so petty, let's just let it go." "Otas, my uncle means well, and his friend is Mr. Ye, and a friend of a friend is still a friend, don't be so petty."
To be honest, Elina was furious when she heard these words, and she didn't know how Prince Woden could sincerely believe that these words were meant to stop the fight.
Ye Bai was speechless when he saw Warden who was trying to mediate the fight. He knew that he couldn't mediate this fight, especially in the current situation. It was very likely that the more he tried to mediate, the more angry the other person would become.
This is indeed the reality, and Ye Bai couldn't count how many times Woden had done this. He clearly didn't have the ability, but he still wanted to show off and thought that his face was valuable.
Given Warden's identity, his face is indeed valuable - but the premise is that he doesn't have to give face to everyone he meets, right?
Ye Bai has been with Warden the longest and knows best that not many people respect Warden anymore.
Especially after he lost money on several investments, if it weren't for His Majesty covering the losses for him, Prince Woden would probably be on the debt collector's credit list.
For ordinary money-grubbers, the name of Warden now means quick money and quick success. And for investors, it's even more of a golden opportunity. After all, if a PowerPoint presentation is satisfactory, they'll definitely invest a ton of money in a shell project.
No, he had to pull Worden out first. This time, he could scold himself or beat himself, but he couldn't let Worden really fall into danger.
Ye Bai had just come up with this idea and wanted to take two steps forward when a faster figure passed by him and left a sentence.
"Your Highness, I will take care of things here."
You'd better take a break and stop adding fuel to the fire.
Ye Wangxing thought with a smile as he looked over at Warden.
If you continue to stir up trouble, Yijiu will have to fight me to save the situation.
Warden didn't know that he almost ruined Ye Wangxing's backup lines.
The more he tried to persuade, the more frustrated he became. However, when this voice appeared, his first reaction was that someone was trying to steal the credit from him.
When he looked up and found that it was Ye Wangxing, the culprit, who appeared in front of him, he wanted to get even more angry.
"Mr. Ye, it seems that what happened just now was caused by you."
However, at this moment, the two people who had just been arguing with each other looked at Ye Wangxing at the same time.
"Brother Ye! Did this person just do something bad to you?!" "Wangxing, I really can't explain it to Prince Janus."
The two men pushed Warden away at the same time, as if his exhausting efforts to stop the fight just now had never happened, and they didn't say a word to him.
This made Warden's face suddenly show an expression of disbelief.
Elina looked at Woden's disbelief and rolled her eyes in her heart, thinking, "What's your relationship with those two? What's my relationship with those two?"
You haven't even found out the basic information, but you want to get involved in the affairs of three people. It's impossible to persuade them to the point. If not you, who will be ignored?
Fortunately, Warden lost face and stood aside in the end. However, judging from the way he curled his lips before leaving, he probably still felt that a fight would be more likely to break out without him.
This was also what Elina was worried about, but she was not worried that the two would fight after Warden left and he was not there to stop them, but she was worried that the two would fight directly on the spot because of jealousy.
If one word is said incorrectly and something is revealed on the spot, turning the scene into a fight, it would be even more disastrous.
After all, others may not know, but they really know that the two people present may have successfully reunited with Ye Wangxing recently. If they knew about the other party's existence in advance...
Elina moved closer to Martha and silently pinched the disposable protective shield in her sleeve.
I was afraid that if the two of them fought, something might go wrong and they would really get hit.
But Elina soon discovered that her worries were unnecessary.
——He really is a man who has had 4 boyfriends without any problems.
"You two have been arguing for so long, aren't you cold?"
The young man who looked like a frightened animal looked at the two people in front of him with great momentum, first heaved a long sigh, then waved to the butler robot beside him.
"You're soaked to the skin. If you don't change clothes sooner, you're relying on your health to experience the ancient flu, aren't you?"
The young man reached out and took the two bath towels handed to him by the butler robot, and shook them open with both hands at the same time, covering the two people respectively.
The two people who were like drowned rats just now were suddenly covered by a large bath towel, and their expressions could not be seen clearly.
"Hurry up and clean yourself up and change your clothes."
The young man patted their shoulders as a matter of course.
When Elina and Martha saw the young man's actions, they leaned against each other silently, staring at his actions intently.
"...If my mother had this guy's skills, she wouldn't have been caught by another lover last time having an affair with a male model, causing such a huge uproar."
Elina said in amazement, and Martha stared intently, and nodded deeply after hearing Elina's words.
"What do you think about me discussing the course curriculum with this Ye family master? With his ability, he has defeated many training classes in seconds."
Martha said in amazement, and the other children nodded.
However, only those who knew the truth were amazed. Those who didn't know the truth were still relieved that the two had finally calmed down.
Just when everyone thought that the matter was over, the voice of Admiral Otas rang out.
"Wangxing, can you help me wipe it?"
The man with dark green eyes reached out and pulled down the towel covering his head, revealing his wet hair and dark green eyes. He stared straight at the young man in front of him.
Then he curled his lips into a smile and said in a hoarse voice, "I think I just bumped into the edge of the swimming pool and I can't lift my hands."
Everyone present: ...
Elina and Ye Bai, who knew the truth: ...
In the end, it was Martha, who had the most experience, who muttered a summary.
"...Admiral, you really know how to have fun."
"Oh my god..." Elina murmured, her whole body falling into a trance, but she still did not forget to agree with Martha's words, and struggled to nod.
Look at how wet he is, look at the expression with a little hook in his eyes when he handed the bath towel to Ye Wangxing, look at his movements that try to show off his beautiful muscle lines as much as possible.
It would be unfair to him if I didn't move Pinru's wardrobe for him.
The group of people who didn't know the truth were even more dumbfounded. The shouts of "my mom, my grandma, my socks, my jacket" and so on never stopped among the crowd.
But Admiral Otas had the determination to ignore everyone else. He just held the bath towel and stared at Ye Wangxing intently.
His chest rose and fell rhythmically with his breathing, and the shirt that was stuck to his body was also tightly stuck to the ground.
Next second.
The young man, with a red face, grabbed the towel and was about to wipe it on Admiral Otas's head, while Admiral Otas curled his lips with a look of victory.
"As expected, no one can resist that guy's body, especially when he takes the initiative to seduce people." Martha whispered to Elena.
Elina nodded in agreement again.
However, before Admiral Otas could grab the young man's wrist, he heard a shocking shout from the side.
"Ah! Brother Ye! My hand also hit the edge of the swimming pool and I can't lift it up. Can you help me wipe it too?"
Now everyone's attention shifted to Prince Janus standing aside.
Everyone saw that Prince Janus, who had just been drying his hair obediently, was now pretending to be unable to lift his arms and handing the bath towel to the young man in front of him.
Prince Janus imitated Admiral Otas and bent his body to get the young man to come over and help him wipe his hair.
but……
"...Does Prince Janus realize that he now looks like an undercover agent forced to seduce others?"
Elina twitched the corners of her mouth as she looked at Prince Janus, who was posing but looked so righteous, and she didn't know what to say for a moment.
"How could he have such a seductive look like Otas, yet still be so righteous?"
Martha commented pointedly, "He's not as cool as Admiral Otas."
Elina: "...Although my words are blunt, your point is quite blunt. Besides, Admiral Otas is just showing off a bit. Isn't his main purpose to attract Ye Wangxing?"
Elina said somewhat speechlessly.
Martha didn't rush to refute, but just said calmly: "My eyesight is never wrong."
Elena shrugged and put the matter back to the edge of the swimming pool. The young man was already holding two bath towels and helplessly helped the two of them wipe their bodies.
However, although the young man's technique was gentle, it looked like he was wiping some large animal rather than doing anything ambiguous, which dispelled the suspicions of some people on the side.
"Maybe we are just mistaken. They are obviously good brothers. They are just joking."
Someone in the crowd who didn't know the truth murmured, but the next second Admiral Otas kicked them back himself.
The young man's hand just brushed against the man's chest, but the man grabbed it and held it in place.
"Wangxing, why doesn't it absorb water even if you wipe it so gently?"
The man smiled and grabbed the young man's hand, which still had the golden snake ring on it.
Elina was once again stunned as she watched the scene, while Martha spoke pointedly.
“…He’s so flirty.”
Martha's comment was accompanied by Prince Janus's scream.
"——You bastard, what are you doing to Brother Ye?!"
