Chapter 75
"...Speaking of which, when your brother chose to hold his birthday party at home, did he foresee the situation today?"
Elina spoke to Ye Bai in a vague tone, while the knowledgeable Martha beside her stared at the sky above in amazement for the first time.
"No, I don't think my brother expected our parking lot to face the challenges it did today."
Ye Bai also spoke in a vague tone. This was the first time in a while that he had diverted his attention from Woden's affairs - he was just thinking about going to Woden to introduce him to the people who came to attend the birthday party.
But now he could only stand here blankly, looking up at the sky - and the private spaceship and private customized holiday home in the sky.
Plus a private customized version of drone mecha and a private entertainment house specially provided for the royal family.
These four exaggerated gifts directly filled the entire sky. If it weren't for the defense of the capital planet who was evacuating the crowd and coordinating traffic to try to park these four gifts at a distant port, even if the entire Chancellor's house was razed to the ground, it would not be enough for them to park.
These four exaggerated gifts not only controlled him, but also controlled most of the guests present.
Yes, a gift.
Ye Bai finally withdrew his gaze from the sky and turned to look at the young man in the crowd who looked surprised.
These four expensive behemoths were gifts given to Ye Wangxing by the four men.
And behind each gift there is a work team that takes care of it, for fear that the young people will spend a penny more on these gifts.
However, the young man did not show any signs of ecstasy.
——Because he was now like a frightened rabbit, he could only look up and had not come back to his senses for a long time.
However, the four men who were originally around him, after introducing a gift, left after giving the gift, just like other normal guests, and started socializing at the birthday party. It was a very normal scene.
However, no one thought that these four people were just giving a gift, regardless of Ye Wangxing's reaction.
"Well, Prince Janus is really the most impatient. Why is he always looking at Ye Wangxing while chatting with others? And Lord Semos, has no one told him that his face is almost cooked?"
Elina muttered as she looked at the two.
On the opposite side of her sight, the young prince with a tight figure was wearing a low-key suit. He was obviously talking to someone about the recent weather, but his eyes were always looking at his sweetheart.
The guest opposite: ...Hasn't the weather on our capital planet always been controlled by the main brain?
The cat-eyed man next to him was not much better. Although he looked as indifferent as ever, the tense muscles all over his body made him look like he could jump to the ceiling if he was poked.
Martha also shook her head helplessly.
"They're still too young. Look at Admiral Otas. He basically just said a few key words to Ye Wangxing today, showed off the gold collar around his neck, and then left. Count Uno was about the same. Tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, these two are still young."
As Martha spoke, she sighed that age is always the best, while secretly observing the young man to see which gift he would prefer.
However, Ye Wangxing was worthy of being a man who could have four boyfriends. He did not show his preference for any gift in front of others. Instead, he took away the property rights and contracts of the four gifts and returned to his room with a solemn look on his face.
When he came down again, the four men below had eyes filled with joy and guilt.
The young man, who clearly wanted to not hurt anyone but ended up hurting everyone, just stood there, not daring to get close to anyone.
What shocked Martha even more was that, although there were only these two emotions, Martha discovered that Ye Wangxing's expression changed when he looked at different directions.
Everyone has their own unique emotions, and these emotions are extremely valuable.
"Ye Bai, I give up. I really can't imitate your brother's situation. You should learn more from him. It would be best if he can write the letter. I'm not afraid that Woden will be sad when he reads it."
Martha lowered her voice and whispered the second half of the sentence into Ye Bai's ear. Ye Bai came back to his senses from his bewildered expression, and his expression became a little complicated.
He turned to look at Warden. He had a new female companion today, and his expression looked as if someone owed him 8 million.
But Ye Bai could understand. Ever since His Majesty announced that Woden had two more brothers and sisters, Woden had always had this expression.
Ye Bai sighed and planned to go find Warden again. He knew that he would definitely be scolded by Warden this time, but he still wanted to try again.
Elina knew what Ye Bai was thinking and was immediately furious. But looking at the determined look on Ye Bai's face...
Elina turned her head away suddenly, deciding to out of sight and out of mind.
But when she saw the situation at the banquet clearly...
Elina gently pulled Ye Bai's foot and stopped him from running towards Warden.
Ye Bai turned around with some confusion, but saw Elena looking towards the center of the banquet with a serious expression.
Then Ye Bai heard Elena say.
"...Although I really hate my cousin Woden, Ye Bai, please give Woden a chance to live."
Ye Bai tilted his head in confusion.
Until he followed Elina's gaze to the center of the banquet.
——The four of them were looking at Warden, who was hugging his female companion, with eyes as sharp as knives.
Elina said quietly at this time.
"If you go there, based on past experience, you'll definitely be humiliated by Woden. Do you think Woden can walk out of the door alive with your brother around?"
Ye Bai finally calmed down and spared Woden's life.
However, Warden always felt that something was wrong. He clearly saw Ye Bai, but for some reason Ye Bai did not come to him. On the contrary, Ye Bai stayed obediently next to Elena and Martha the whole time.
"Since I'm about to lose my position as Crown Prince, Ye Bai is planning to find a way out for himself?"
Warden sneered and decided not to have any contact with Ye Bai during the entire banquet today.
——Little did he know that this was the decision he would regret most in his later life.
But now Warden still attended the banquet with a cynical look on his face, and he disliked Ye Wangxing very much.
In Warden's eyes, Ye Wangxing stole all his limelight. Although no one paid attention to him and the process of his mother abandoning him was not spread, no one asked him online about this poor and innocent prince who was abandoned just because he made a few mistakes.
What's even more unfortunate is that he, the crown prince, might be turned into the former crown prince in a few days by his mother using any excuse!
He really couldn't imagine why his mother gave up on him like this. Didn't he just say a few wrong words during the live broadcast?
He could have come back through public relations later, so why did his mother allow him to become a frequent visitor to the ghost animal area? Doesn’t his mother worry about the reputation of the royal family among the people?
He thought indignantly that he wanted to get drunk again, but as soon as he put his hand on the glass, he noticed someone looking at him.
Warden was originally wondering impatiently who was so blind, but as soon as he turned his head, he saw four pairs of eyes looking straight at him.
This immediately sobered Woden up.
These four gazes also forced Woden to obediently complete the rest of the birthday process, representing the royal family members to send blessings to Ye Wangxing.
It wasn't until the birthday party was almost over that Woden finally breathed a sigh of relief. Although he appeared to be submissive, he had already cursed the four men countless times in his heart.
"Tsk, I don't know what they're doing. It's not me who made them unable to catch up with Ye Wangxing. What's wrong with me drinking a little? I'm the prince, and you can't even let me drink a little. You're really controlling."
Woden still had the serious expression typical of a royal family member, but he was thinking this in his heart.
However, he didn't dare reveal his true thoughts. He was still hoping to use the Ye family's connections to build good relationships with these four people.
Who knows, when his mother disagrees with his succession to the throne and wants to seize his position as crown prince, he can use this relationship to gain their support and finally seize the throne.
"Why didn't I think of it before? But it's not too late to think of it now."
When he thought of this possibility, Woden's heart was moved. He even thought about it. After he seized the throne, he must govern the country prosperously and finally throw his political achievements directly in front of his mother to prove that it was her vision that was wrong.
Just when Warden was about to burst out laughing because of the scene he imagined, the birthday party was on the verge of ending and he began to say goodbye to the host.
After being reminded by the female companion next to him, Warden immediately tightened his expression. He looked so serious that those who didn't know him would think he was going to the battlefield.
But in Warden's opinion, he was going to the battlefield now. After all, everyone present had to wait for him to say goodbye to the host before leaving. He looked very royal.
'This won't kill them.'
Warden thought proudly in his heart, but walked to Ye Wangxing with a serious face.
The four had just finished a short round of fighting, and now all four of them were looking at Ye Wangxing pitifully.
But Warden didn't care, it was just a matter of jealousy.
Prince Woden has already made up his mind that when the time comes, he will match Ye Wangxing with whoever can make the greatest contribution to him.
Just as Prince Woden was about to say goodbye like the other four and behave like a king, the four of them were chatting or handling official business, and none of them looked at him.
Prince Woden was very angry.
Then he got angry.
——If he had the ability to scold these four people in public, he would not be standing here now.
Prince Woden tried hard to brainwash himself that he was enduring humiliation and quickly left the scene.
But before leaving, he subconsciously glanced at the laptops in their hands. The contracts and shopping websites of the other three were normal, but...
——Why is Admiral Otas looking at a fertilization institution?
Ye Bai also had the same doubt, but he was lucky because he still had someone to ask for help and what was going on.
After Ye Bai posted this matter to the small group of three, Elena and Martha were silent for a long time.
Finally, Martha sent an emoticon package to the group with a meaningful look.
She was a woman in palace dress, and her lines were specially amplified by Martha.
"... Competing for favor without being pregnant is a big taboo in the palace!"
Elena and Martha were discussing enthusiastically whether Admiral Otas planned to have a child to gain the throne through the son's status, or whether he planned to bring Ye Wangxing into married life early.
——Anyway, they both realized that Ye Wangxing was the same as Ye Bai. Apart from being normal people in their careers, they were also easily deceived in terms of love.
However, just when they were discussing it happily, there was another uproar on the Internet.
Ye Wangxing's birthday party did not cause any major incident, although it disappointed the onlookers. However, the gifts given by these four generous people still climbed onto the hot search list.
A large group of people were explaining how expensive those four things were.
For example, the outer shell of that private spacecraft is so bright and its spectrum is specially designated as using starship-grade protective paint.
For example, the Royal Entertainment Club is managed by an entire entertainment team, which is equivalent to having an entertainment company specifically designed to please oneself.
The remaining two drone mechas were found to be one customized model from the Samos Research Institute, and the other holiday home had an ecological recycling system directly moved into it.
Just when everyone is envious of these gifts, there will naturally be people who come out to sing a different tune, but this is normal. After all, this is a cliché topic on the Internet.
However, normally there would be a tense situation between the two sides, but this time there was a disagreement.
Because most netizens are concerned about another issue.
"——So, do any of you know who Mr. Ye chose in the end?"
Teacher Ye is the affectionate nickname given to Ye Wangxing by netizens. After all, most people are looking forward to Teacher Ye starting classes.
It’s a pity that Teacher Ye is worthy of being Teacher Ye. Apart from taking advantage of this wave of popularity to advertise his platform and launching cheaper products for discounts, he did not respond directly to any questions.
The only positive answer is the following.
"...After all, it's their privacy. I don't want to use their affairs to gain public attention. They are all good people who deserve happiness - the only thing they did wrong was meeting me."
The last paragraph was immediately regarded as a golden rule and became an important tool for some people to slap their love-brained friends in the face.
"——If you meet someone like Mr. Ye, even if he is a scumbag, I will accept him as a friend, but the key question is, is this Kappa you are talking about now?"
And some of my friends who are in love have really been awakened. After all, there was just no comparison before.
Now this comparison...
Back to the topic at hand, when faced with this question, all the entertainment bloggers and self-media outlets on the Internet were speechless. Netizens saw that they could not rely on these useless paparazzi. So many people began to ask under Mr. Ye's blog post who Mr. Ye had chosen?
But in the absence of Ye Wangxing's response, the original inquiry gradually turned into a melee between the four men's supporters.
"—Look at Admiral Otas's figure! Look at his face! Are the other three as big as him? I guarantee from a straight man's perspective that the other three are definitely not as good-looking as him."
"—What's the point of being big! He's so old, almost 10 years younger than Teacher Ye! Look at our Prince Janus! He's young and in great shape, and sooner or later he'll grow up to be like Admiral Otas!"
"Hey, hey, hey, please speak properly and don't attack me because of my age. Besides, what's wrong with being old? Older people can play with different things. I'm sure it will give Teacher Ye a different experience."
"Hahahaha, let's get the props, right? Who can have as many props as Lord Semos? If he doesn't have any, he can always make his own!"
The melee between these four supporters immediately attracted a lot of people to watch the fun, so there were a lot of comments from bystanders in the comment section.
"...I felt like a car ran over my face, but all I saw was the license plate and pants lying on the ground."
"By the way, does Admiral Otas know that you guys, a bunch of straight men, are making up stories about him in private?"
"Teacher Ye, start the class. If you can charge 100 star coins per class, you will become rich overnight."
The marketing accounts and major self-media bloggers who had been pretending to be dead were stunned again when they saw this melee. They began to frantically copy these remarks and divert traffic to other platforms.
This trending search was forced to stay on the hot search list and did not go down for three days. The entire capital star was bustling with activity.
While the capital planet was bustling with activity, the topic they were discussing was centered on grief.
"...Why are you so depressed?!"
Elina looked blankly at the young man who was crying with his face covered in pain, and the Ye family's parents who were standing next to the young man with equally sad expressions. She then looked up blankly at the coffin above.
——A creature with the same face as Ye Bai was lying in the coffin, looking calm and peaceful.
There is no vitality.
As Ye Bai's brother, this gentle-faced young man cried so hard that he couldn't even stand up, and his parents also had sad expressions, with red eyes, as if they were angry and in disbelief.
It was not until now that Elina was sure that this was Ye Bai's funeral.
But her expression was still confused, so confused as if she couldn't accept Ye Bai's departure.
"Elina, I know you can't believe it. After all, you and Ye Bai get along best, but you can try to vent your emotions. It's not good for you to hold them in. How could Ye Bai... How could he just leave us like this? I, I didn't even realize he was depressed!"
Elina looked at her friends, all of whom had red eyes from crying, and some of them were cursing Warden non-stop, but no one at the scene tried to stop them, and some even thought that the cursing was good.
——After all, according to Ye Bai’s suicide note, Ye Bai chose to commit suicide because of Woden.
And that suicide note explained in detail why Ye Bai liked Woden.
The reason was the promise that Woden made to Ye Bai when he was a child, including but not limited to becoming the best monarch in the history of the empire and marrying Ye Bai.
As Ye Bai is a sentimental person, he cannot accept that the current Warden has completely violated his childhood promise, grown into a bad adult, and hurt the people around him.
But Ye Bai couldn't be so cruel as to break up with Woden completely. The sincere Woden in his childhood was still lingering in Ye Bai's mind.
Eventually, unable to bear the torture, Ye Bai suffered from depression and decided to commit suicide.
"...Why hasn't he said anything yet?! I attended his brother's birthday party yesterday, and he was so normal at that time, even gossiping with me. But the next day... How can his brother accept this?"
The girl who had patted Elina's shoulders at the royal banquet covered her face and cried, and the atmosphere at the scene was silent.
Even Martha, who was standing by, covered her mouth with her hands and showed a sad expression.
The next second, Elena seemed to finally react, she covered her mouth suddenly, then turned around and fled the scene.
Someone wanted to step forward to stop him, but was held down by Martha.
"Let her be alone and quiet for a while—she stopped Ye Bai from talking to Woden yesterday."
"……I see."
My friend lowered his hand, tears streaming from his eyes once again. He couldn't stop crying and couldn't help but say, "...He's so love-struck that he made us so sad for him. That little bastard!"
Martha patted her friend's back soothingly, and the sadness and grief that had been just on the surface in her eyes this time really reached her eyes.
But she was not mourning for Ye Bai who was now dead.
——But it was to mourn Ye Bai, who would definitely not be able to escape the angry fists of his friends after the truth came out.
At the same time, Elena also rushed back home. When she saw Ye Bai sitting on her sofa, watching the surveillance camera and eating snacks, she breathed a sigh of relief.
"With that atmosphere and that eerie-looking creature just now, I thought you were really dead."
Elina walked over to Ye Bai, grabbed his face without any hesitation, and began to ravage him. Only after she was sure that Ye Bai was breathing, had a heartbeat, and was in good health did she sit back on her sofa with peace of mind.
"Hey, I'm sitting here perfectly fine, aren't I? I'll go apologize to my friends later. It'll only take a month. Remember to stop them, lest they cause trouble for Woden and end up hurting themselves."
Ye Bai said that he didn't feel awkward about witnessing his own funeral, only guilty about his friend. Seeing the grief on his parents and brother's faces, he felt a touch of emotion.
"How come seeing your parents and your brother so heartbroken makes you want to commit suicide?"
Elina saw that Ye Bai's eyes were fixed on his parents and his brother, so she said teasingly.
Ye Bai shook his head slowly.
"...Actually, I know my previous thoughts were childish, but I didn't expect them to be so childish. I shouldn't have hurt my parents' feelings."
"That's right! But then again, why did you move the time of your fake death so far? Wasn't it originally planned to be a week later? That would be just in time for the two crown princes to return to the palace."
Elina asked curiously.
God knows how shocked she was when she saw Ye Bai show up at her house early this morning and said that the fake death plan had been brought forward. She thought something big had happened.
But before she could ask, Ye Bai pushed her out the door and asked her to go to the funeral to mourn him.
Unfortunately, her acting skills were not good, and she didn't cry in the end, so she went straight back to find Ye Bai.
When Ye Bai heard Elina ask this question, he explained it readily.
"It's my brother. He's really overwhelmed by the onslaught of those guys, but he really hasn't figured out how to solve this problem, so..."
Ye Bai shrugged and said, "Those people can't force my brother when his younger brother just died."
Elina: ...
"……genius."
Elina slowly gave a thumbs up.
While Ye Bai was chatting with Elena, Warden at home also received news from his mother.
"——Ye Bai passed away. As his fiancé, remember to attend the funeral."
