There was a long silence on Baige Cherry's side.
Chen Nian looked at the message she had replied to and was happy.
What he said was indeed true. Every word he said was a faithful statement of the facts. His brother, Shaflay's fiancée, was indeed traveling with another Alpha, and Shaflay was constantly transferring money to the account in order to make Chen Ci's life in the dungeon more comfortable.
After three minutes, Baige Cherry finally moved.
Free Cherry Blossoms: […………………………]
A series of ellipsis perfectly expresses his mood at that moment.
The first point is shock, the second point is confusion, the third point is speechlessness, the fourth point is wanting to laugh, the fifth point is bewilderment, the sixth point is pity, the seventh point is the bewilderment of “How come he actually has a fiancée!”, the eighth point is the shock of how chaotic your circle is, the ninth point is the doubt of “Is this really something I can listen to?”, and the tenth point is the sigh of “Oh my god, I turned out to have encountered such a thing, no wonder I was so depressed the past few days”.
Baifu Yingtao had no doubt that the economic strength he gained from the collapse and sell-off was enough to support two adults. After all, he was supporting an entire guild in the game.
Recalling his performance of collapsing and running away a few days ago, Bai Geyingtao felt that this Mono brother should not have lied to him.
——His good brothers actually work together to support his fiancée and her male companion. What a touching spirit of dedication! This is true selfless love!
Chen Nian was secretly laughing, not paying any attention to what Shafulai, who was taking him to visit the guild, was introducing.
After all, Bai Ge Yingtao was a friend that Shafulai had known for nearly ten years. After the initial shock, he couldn't help but worry about Shafulai's condition.
【Did he give the money to those two people voluntarily?】
Chen Nian was afraid of chaos and was realistic: [He thought his fiancée was just traveling with a friend, and he didn't know that the friend was a male companion. ]
Free Cherry Blossoms: [………………]
What a situation that makes anyone who sees it cry and anyone who hears it feel sad.
Lao Beng seemed to be completely unaware that he was being cheated on and that his money was being used to support a mistress.
Baige Yingtao: [This... you must know each other in real life, didn't you think of telling him after you found out? ]
Mono: [How should I bring up this matter? He and his fiancée have been engaged since childhood, and they have known each other for more than ten years. Telling him directly would be hurtful.]
Free cherries: [Indeed.]
[Although Lao Beng has never talked about his real life situation, I think he should be from a good family. In this era, he still has a fiancée. He must not be from an ordinary family. If such a thing were to be exposed, I really don’t know where Lao Beng would put his face.]
Chen Nian agreed: "Yes, so I could only try my best to keep it a secret. Besides, I have a very good relationship with his fiancée, and he also traveled with a male companion. His fiancée also told me privately."
Free Cherry Blossoms: [………………]
Things seem to be getting more complicated! Mono is involved too?!
A story about two people turned into a movie about three people, and finally became a stage play about four people?
Bai Ge Yingtao: [Then, what should we do? Is Lao Beng in a good relationship with his fiancée? If you don't help persuade his fiancée, cheating is wrong no matter what.]
Mono: [Their relationship is pretty average. Their pheromones are not particularly compatible. Many people say that they will not be happy even if they get married in the future.]
[I see…]
Baigeyingtao thought for a moment and suddenly said: [I know! ]
Mono: [? ]
BaiGui Yingtao: [Since LaoBeng's fiancée is cheating on him, we can't just do it and see what happens. Let's just find him a new partner! Then when LaoBeng finds out that he's been cheated on, he won't feel too bad.]
Chen Nian was happy.
As expected of a president who shares the same aesthetic standards with him, his thinking level is indeed different from that of ordinary people. The idea of exchanging green hats is really extraordinary.
But Chen Nian could not agree.
Even if Chen Ci is traveling with Fu Tianhe now, it doesn't mean anything. His brother is very emotionally indifferent and may not develop that kind of feelings for Fu Tianhe. Moreover, Chen Nian is a bit double-standard. How could he let Shafulai flirt with her under his nose!
Mono: [His family has always wanted the engagement to continue, so I didn't know what to do and never told him. Let it go. This is his private matter, so it's better not to interfere too much.]
Bai Ge Yingtao sighed: [Yes, if it was just an ordinary couple relationship, the brothers could still help, but there is no way to deal with feudal remnants like family marriage contracts. ]
Cherry Blossoms have complicated hearts. Perhaps instead of starting with their romantic relationships, they can soothe their broken and wounded hearts in other ways.
——Well...when a person can get more love from other channels, will he not care too much about the harm that love brings him?
So a few minutes later, all members of the Afanasy Guild, except for the vice-president Bengshemailu, received a private message from the president.
【Since the vice president has suffered some emotional changes, the president has decided to lead the brothers in the union to give the vice president more love! Help him get out of the haze! From today on, let us love the vice president together! 】
Schaffray knew nothing about this.
Chen Nian was not in a hurry. No matter what method Bai Geyingtao finally came up with, Shafulai was only online for two or three hours a day. No matter how much trouble people in the virtual world made, the waves they stirred up would not affect the reality.
Shafulai didn't know that in the eyes of the guild, he was already a lovelorn nobleman with green grasslands on his head.
As he walked, he suddenly felt that there was something wrong with the way people looked at him.
He seemed to see some mercy and sympathy, as well as the flourishing love of father and mother.
Shafley: ?
"Is there something on my face?" he stopped a member and asked.
"If the Vice President were still as handsome as he is today, how could there be anyone in this world who doesn't love you! You must cheer up!"
Shafley: ?
His head was full of question marks. He turned around to look at Chen Nian, only to see a broad chest like a wall.
By the time Shafley raised his head, Chen Nian had already suppressed the smile on his lips.
Shafley had no choice but to turn around. His originally tall figure seemed a little petite in front of Chen Nian. His long platinum-blond hair, which was so light that it was almost silver, was tied into a ponytail. He was wearing a handsome and high-tech tactical uniform, making the scene look like a beauty and the beast.
He couldn't help but pursed his lips. Both the people in the guild and Chen Nian felt that this was a bit strange.
Shaflay took Chen Nian on a tour of the entire headquarters and introduced Athanasius' current situation.
"It will take a long time to experience all the content of this game, but it will be much easier if I accompany you. I also need to deal with a lot of guild-related matters. The new version will be released soon. If I accompany you alone, it may delay some things."
"Do you want to join the guild? This will make it easier for us to form a team, and we can take you with us to experience any activities or missions in the future."
"Okay." Chen Nian agreed immediately. Shafulai is a veteran player with nine years of experience. As a newcomer, he has such a strong supporter right after he started. Who can refuse such a good thing?
"But everyone in the guild should be very powerful. I'm a newbie, so won't everyone have any opinions about me joining?"
"The guild does have a limit on the number of members. For a top guild like Afanasy, the upper limit is 20,000. Therefore, those in the guild headquarters are very important members. If the rest of you want to join, you can join our branch guild."
"But as the vice president, I still have the authority to recruit people to join the group. You don't have to worry about it. Bai Geying and Cai Geou have also brought in new friends before. You are not an exception."
"That's good." Chen Nian felt relieved. The most important thing about playing games is of course to have fun. It would be bad if he got upset because of things in the game.
"Apply now and I'll approve your application."
Following Shafla's instructions, Chen Nian applied to join the Sanhedrin Athanasius.
Shafley introduced it to Chen Nian: "This is a game forum. You can check it out when you have nothing to do. It contains some of the latest information, strategy guides, and chat posts. It's quite interesting."
Chen Nian: "Do you usually use the terminal to browse forums?"
Shafley: "About the same, but I still have to deal with more affairs. I only look at the forum when I have nothing to do."
Chen Nian nodded to show that he understood. When he and Shaflay first started dating, he mistook Alpha for chatting with an elf on the forum and was angry about it for a long time.
【System Message】Mono[lv.2] joins Guild Afanasy.
Dill [lv.300]: Welcome new members!
saipan[lv.300]: Welcome!
Glittering Tomatoes [lv.300]: Hey, I’m a newbie. Is this the smurf of some boss?
Lu Xuezheng [lv300]: He seems to be a friend of the vice president.
Augus[lv.300]: Wow! Welcome newbie! I can actually see newbies in the guild in this day and age. Come on, let me touch your hand!
A series of welcome messages quickly flashed across the screen, and Chen Nian could hardly keep up.
Mono[lv.2]: Thank you, thank you everyone. I have just started playing this game and there are still many things I don’t understand. Please bear with me.
Ten dollars for three [lv.300]: Welcome sister-in-law!
Don’t be a dog who gets up early [lv.300]:?
Chuanbao and Laxi [lv.300]:?
Carola[lv.300]:?
Yeah, you are right [lv.300]:?
…
Caigeou[lv.300]:?
Amid the screen full of question marks, Shafla was startled. He quickly glanced at Chen Nian's reaction. Of course, he couldn't see the face of the iron tower giant while hiding, so he hurried to explain.
No, this is a friend of mine.
Mono[lv.2]: I am not qualified to be his partner (doge)
Baige Yingtao was looking at the chat messages in the guild and was suddenly stunned. This sentence was like a key, which suddenly opened his final guess about the emotional state of Honse and Mailiu.
Mono and his fiancée are friends. Their relationship is so good that his fiancée even told him the secret of cheating. Mono helps his friend keep the secret, but no one knows that he is actually secretly in love with Lao Beng.
But this feeling cannot be expressed in words because of what Mono said, "He is not qualified." Perhaps in the eyes of others, his family background is not worthy of Lao Beng.
After learning that his fiancée had cheated on him, Mono asked Lao Beng to play games with him. On the one hand, he wanted to divert Lao Beng's attention and make him ignore his fiancée's affairs. On the other hand, he also wanted Lao Beng to look at him more.
Mono definitely doesn't look like this in real life. Judging from his behavior, he should be a very cute male Omega.
...Oh my God!
What a tear-jerking love-hate relationship!
The next morning, the central elevator went up from the research institute to the top floor of Cinnabar, and an Omega boy dressed in aristocratic attire walked out. He had a delicate face, slightly curly black hair, and brown eyes filled with impatience.
"Young Master." The servant who had been waiting for a long time called out in a dignified voice.
Lu Heng hummed and got into the special car on the side of the road.
He came back specifically for this trip.
After finishing the performance the day before yesterday, he returned to the hotel and couldn't calm down for a long time. When he thought about accidentally seeing Chen Ci taking off his mask to drink water, he just wanted to laugh out loud.
Lu Heng couldn't help but sigh that he was so lucky that he caught the prince's wife's braid so quickly. No, after two days, whether Chen Ci was still the prince's wife or not would be another matter.
Since Chen Ci was dating other Alphas in the dungeon, it was obvious that they didn't want anyone else to know. Who would have thought that he would see them by chance?
However, the young master, who was so overwhelmed with joy, did not think that if this was really the "Chen Ci" he had met, why would he take the risk and play in front of so many people after hearing others say it was Lu Heng's concert?
Lu Heng sat in the back seat and said to the driver, "Let's go to the palace."
Even though autonomous driving is quite mature today, Lu Heng still insists on letting the driver drive because it makes him feel more dignified.
Lu Heng opened the virtual screen of the terminal and stared at the photo. He had taken it in a hurry yesterday, so the image was a little blurry, but he could still recognize that the profile belonged to Chen Ci.
Lu Heng didn't think there could be another omega with such outstanding looks. Chen Ci probably never dreamed that his handsome face would be the reason for his cheating to be exposed?
Now that he had a mountain of iron evidence in his hands, he wanted to see how the eloquent Chen Ci would argue, and what kind of desperate expression would Chen Ci reveal when the truth was revealed?
Chen Nianzheng and Gui Zhiqi were sitting in the studio practicing when they heard that Lu Heng was coming to visit.
Today is Saturday, and he has no classes in the morning, so he made an appointment with Gui Zhiqi to paint together so that she can teach him again.
"Lu Heng?" Chen Nian searched for relevant memories in his mind. After a while, he remembered who Lu Heng was.
It was like the young master who showed off his piano skills at the banquet and insisted that he go on stage to perform.
At that time he just casually said something to deal with it, but why did this person come to him again now? Are they familiar with each other?
Gui Zhiqi was also a little surprised. Although they were both from aristocratic families, they had different personalities and could not play together. Their circles of friends rarely overlapped.
Gui Zhiqi even disliked Lu Heng a little, thinking he was too arrogant.
"He's not here to cause you trouble, is he?" Gui Zhiqi whispered. "His Highness is not in the palace today, so isn't it a little strange that he would come to you by name? And I heard that he went to the underground city for a tour the day before yesterday, so why did he suddenly come back?"
Chen Nian shrugged: "Who knows?"
"Do you want to see him? If you don't want to, it doesn't matter if you refuse. You are the most distinguished prince's consort."
"Why not?" Chen Nian said with a smile, "I'd like to know what he's doing here. I'm tired of painting, so let's go and see what's going on."
Seeing this, Gui Zhiqi also relaxed. She had seen with her own eyes how Chen Nian dealt with Lu Heng at the banquet. Since he could stop him the first time, he could do it the second time.
After spending a long time with Chen Nian, Gui Zhiqi was somewhat infected with the spirit of a person who likes to have fun and is eager to see the world in chaos.
"Call him over." Chen Nian said to the maid. He thought for a moment and added, "Ask a few more people to wait in the reception room, so that Master Lu Heng won't think we are neglecting him again."
Chen Nian and Gui Zhiqi put down their paintbrushes and went to the reception room.
When they arrived, Lu Heng had already been led to sit on the sofa.
Seeing Chen Nian, Lu Heng pulled a smile at the corner of his lips. He stared closely at this face that could make the most perfect virtual star pale in comparison, looking for the same angle as in the photo.
Yes, that's right, it's him!
Seeing Chen Nian's relaxed and complacent expression, Lu Heng just wanted to sneer in his heart: I'll bring out the evidence later, and see how you can still be so proud!
There were many maids and attendants in the reception room, and even the royal butler came. This scene not only did not make Lu Heng nervous, but made him even more excited.
Great, the more people come, the better! He simply can't wait to let more people know what kind of person this prince's wife is!
How would they react after hearing this shocking news?
Lu Heng couldn't help thinking that the royal butler had watched His Highness Shafley grow up since he was a child, so he must be very angry! Maybe he should even thank him for exposing Chen Ci's other face.
Lu Hengman's look of "you're done" made Chen Nian a little confused.
Is there something wrong with this young master's facial nerves? Why does he look so sinister and smiling but not really smiling? And his expression as if he wants to eat himself is too scary!
Chen Nian couldn't help but wonder if he had done anything to offend anyone recently. No, he was so busy flirting with various Alphas that the only omega he had close contact with was Gui Zhiqi.
Could it be that Lu Heng still remembered what happened at the royal banquet? How stingy! He couldn't even remember what he said at that time.
"Your Highness, it's been a long time since we last met. How have you been lately?"
Lu Heng deliberately put the "Long time no see" very tightly. When he played the day before yesterday, Chen Ci had not left yet, so he should have seen him.
Chen Ci is really patient. Even now that I have come to him, he is not in a hurry.
A question mark popped up in Chen Nian's mind.
"Not bad. I just play around, take classes, and draw a little every day."
Chen Nian didn't want to engage in witty behavior with someone he didn't know well. After resting, he still had to continue painting with Gui Zhiqi, so he asked directly, "What do you want to see me about?"
He looked fearless. Lu Heng narrowed his eyes. Could it be that Chen Ci had some other tricks up his sleeve?
But no matter what, this argument won’t last long in the face of the ironclad evidence.
Lu Heng said slowly: "Nothing, I just want to ask how Your Highness manages her time. She accompanied His Highness Shafulai to the Huanhai Base in the morning, and appeared in the underground city with another Alpha in the evening."
Chen Nian was stunned for a moment: "What did you say?"
Ha, you didn’t expect that!
Lu Heng sneered, he looked straight into those amber eyes, and said word by word: "I have already said this much, Your Highness the Crown Princess still doesn't understand? Do you want me to explain it more clearly?"
Chen Nian almost instantly deduced the situation from Lu Heng's words.
Lu Heng went to the underground city tour, and then unexpectedly his brother?
If he had just met Chen Ci by chance, he probably wouldn't have reacted so strongly. Maybe he also saw Fu Tianhe?
Ah, so this man came to him in such a high and mighty manner to expose his secret of cheating?
Kind of interesting.
Chen Nian picked up the water glass and took a sip gracefully.
In Lu Heng's opinion, this action was just a cover-up behavior due to nervousness. Now Chen Ci must be racking his brains to think of how to respond!
"I don't know what you're talking about." Chen Nian's eyes revealed a proper puzzlement, "What dungeon? I've been staying on the top floor all this time."
"Stayed on the top floor all the time? I didn't expect that Her Royal Highness the Crown Princess is such a liar." Lu Heng's smile grew even wider. In his opinion, such an answer was just pretending to be stupid. Chen Ci probably didn't know that he already had evidence like the photo in his hands!
"In that case, may I ask, where was Her Royal Highness the Crown Princess the night before yesterday?"
Chen Nian paused while holding the teacup.
He lowered his eyes, his eyelashes covering his expression. After a few seconds, he said coldly, "Nothing to tell you. There's no need for me to tell you my whereabouts, right?"
Lu Heng: "Your Highness, do you not want to say it, or do you not dare to say it?"
The servants and maids in the reception room heard it all clearly and couldn't help but show surprise on their faces. Even the butler's expression became a little solemn.
What Master Lu Heng meant... is that the Crown Princess hid it from all of them and went to do something else?
Lu Heng said slowly: "Let me tell you, the night before last, you were in the dungeon with an Alpha."
Gui Zhiqi slammed the table and stood up suddenly: "You are talking nonsense, how can you slander someone's innocence like this!"
Lu Heng smiled and said, "Don't worry, Miss Gui, you are busy standing up for your friend, but even the princess herself can't defend herself, right?"
Under everyone's gaze, Chen Nian sipped the remaining tea bit by bit before finally speaking:
"I really don't want to tell you what I was doing the night before. After all, it's a very personal matter, and Shafley probably wouldn't want to hear me say it."
He took a deep breath, turned his head and said to the butler, "In that case, Butler Vaino, can you help me call Shafulai over?"
“Oh?” Lu Heng was a little surprised. Was he going to show his cards directly to His Highness Shafulai?
He hasn't produced the evidence yet.
The butler nodded and immediately contacted Shaflay.
Chen Nian asked the maid for another cup of tea, sat on the sofa and said nothing more. Seeing him like this, Gui Zhiqi couldn't help but worry.
Although she would never believe this Lu Heng, Chen Ci's condition did not look very good.
Chen Nian lowered his eyes and thought.
——Lu Heng came to me with such a righteous look on his face, he must have caught some evidence.
He couldn't let the other party produce the evidence, at least not in front of more people, otherwise Chen's words would be exposed.
Oh, what a coincidence, in the huge dungeon, his brother just happened to run into this Lu Heng.
Half an hour later, Shafley opened the door and appeared in the living room.
He walked hurriedly, obviously having just returned from outside. The butler had spoken in a very urgent manner, so he could only put aside the official business at hand and come over, feeling a little annoyed.
Seeing the room full of people, Shafla frowned.
Many waiters looked at each other anxiously, the housekeeper didn't look very happy, and Chen Nian and Gui Zhiqi sat on the sofa, facing Lu Heng who looked relaxed.
Why is Lu Heng here? Doesn't he have a tour in the dungeon?
Chen Nian raised his eyes, and Shafulai met those cold amber eyes, and paused.
He walked over and sat next to Chen Nian.
"Your Highness." Lu Heng lowered his voice, looking guilty: "I didn't intend to find you here, did I disturb you?"
"It's okay." Shafulai didn't know what kind of medicine Lu Heng was selling. Who could explain the situation to him?
Shafley: What's wrong?
Lu Heng: "Oh, it's nothing special. I just went on a tour in the underground city recently. The night before yesterday, I accidentally saw the princess and another Alpha at the research institute. They were acting very intimately. I was really surprised, so I came to ask about the princess, but she didn't seem to want to talk about it."
The night before yesterday? Shafulai immediately realized that Lu Heng must have seen Chen Ci. Chen Nian had stayed in the palace with him all day the day before yesterday.
Shafley didn't care about what Lu Heng said about Chen Ci being with another Alpha. His mind was full of the affairs of the Chen twins, which he absolutely couldn't let be exposed like this.
Shafulai turned his head to look at Chen Nian, and the two looked at each other and exchanged glances in an instant.
"Why don't you want to say it?" Shafley frowned and asked Chen Nian with a cold voice.
"How can I say such a thing?" Chen Nian turned away, as if unwilling to look at Shafulai, and said softly, "Isn't this embarrassing?"
This is too much like a questioning.
Everyone stared with eyes wide open and ears pricked up, paying close attention to the development of the incident. Shafulai's unhappy expression and Chen Nian's evasion were so shocking that their pupils trembled.
Could it be that... Could it be that His Royal Highness the Crown Princess really...?
"Okay." Shafley sighed softly, seeming helpless and embarrassed.
He looked at Lu Heng, whose expression was full of excitement. His voice was calm, but his words rang loudly in everyone's ears:
"The night before last, Chen Ci... was in my bed."
