Doted By The Regent King-Chapter 1071 - 1069: I Was Blind

While Wufu and Jin Yu were talking about today’s initial cooperation discussion, Jun Wenqi and Master Gui at the Joyful Garden were discussing the same matter.

"Cousin, where did you find such an interesting little fellow?" Jun Wenqi curiously looked at Master Gui, "I thought you were always unapproachable and unsentimental. Since when did you become so warm and friendly?"

At the moment, besides a slight flush on his cheeks, Jun Wenqi’s handsome face was only slightly more colorful, with no trace of drunkenness.

Master Gui glanced at him indifferently and said, "I need to survive as well."

Jun Wenqi chuckled lightly, "These past years, when have you ever shown anyone a pleasant demeanor? Even Han—"

His words abruptly stopped, a chill creeping up his spine, but he feigned calmness and changed the topic, "Speaking of which, this young gentleman named Wu Fu may be young, but his insight is no less than that of the sons of great families."

Master Gui lowered his gaze, a faint smile tugging at his lips.

"Cousin, when did such a person appear in Changan? Is his background legitimate?" Jun Wenqi asked.

"Whether it’s legitimate or not, didn’t you already agree to cooperate?" Master Gui snorted softly, "Asking about his background now, isn’t it a bit late?"

Jun Wenqi immediately said, "Isn’t it because you, my cousin, introduced him? Otherwise, do you think I’d bother with him? This young master is quite busy."

"For someone like you, I cheat whoever I can." Master Gui chuckled.

Jun Wenqi widened his eyes, "Are you really my cousin?"

"I also wish I didn’t have such a foolish cousin." Master Gui sneered, "Playing along with the Leng Family, be careful not to get burned."

Jun Wenqi laughed aloud, "The Leng Family is still fighting among themselves. How could they compete with this young master?"

"Oh? Then who was asking to borrow people from me?"

Jun Wenqi shrank his neck, smiling ingratiatingly, "It’s just that I’m worried about my little life, don’t you know? Nowadays, the Imperial family, those few are utterly ruthless. How could a mere merchant son like me fight against them?"

Master Gui remained silent, taking only a sip of wine.

"But what Xiao Five said does make some sense. Cousin, what do you think?" Jun Wenqi looked at his cousin.

"It’s none of my damn business!"

Jun Wenqi choked, glaring at him angrily.

"As the future head of the Jun Family, if you can’t handle this and you’re looking for me to make decisions, you might as well give up the Jun Family early and run away." Master Gui sneered.

"It was my mistake!" Jun Wenqi said with a face full of grievance.

Master Gui raised his eyebrows lightly.

"I shouldn’t have said you were warm and friendly; turns out I was blind." Still so unsentimental, indeed, my cousin favors others.

A wine cup was thrown over, and Jun Wenqi caught it with both hands, smugly shaking it: "Caught..." Then two more followed, one pouring wine over his new clothes along with the cup.

"This is newly made." Jun Wenqi glared at him, then seeing his cold expression, hurriedly said, "Back to the point. Cousin, can Wu Fu truly be trusted?"

Master Gui shot him a look, implying he thought him idiotic.

"Since cousin says he can be trusted, then there’s no harm in playing along. Such an interesting young brother suits my taste." Jun Wenqi squinted and said, "Besides, it’s time to clean up some people in the Jun Family. Restless hearts are truly no good."

Master Gui blandly said, "As long as you’re clear on it in your heart."

Jun Wenqi, seeing his cousin’s detached and indifferent expression, couldn’t help himself and asked, "Cousin, you really won’t return to the Han Family..."

Master Gui’s cold gaze flew over, carrying a faint warning.

"Forget I asked." Jun Wenqi shrank his neck, calling out loudly, "Xiao Yanyan, come serve this young master to rest!" 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝚠𝕖𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝕖𝚕.𝚌𝗼𝗺

Watching him leave, Master Gui withdrew his gaze, silently sipping his wine, his expression icy and sharp.
