My Inner Thought is Exposed! The Villain Family Defy Their Fate!-Chapter 171 - 77: That’s Not How You Add Fuel to the Fire
The people who should be here have mostly arrived.
The banquet is about to begin.
"Is there anyone here?"
Yun Wanyao was chatting with Mo Zhaozhao when suddenly a deep voice sounded in her ear, causing her heart to lose rhythm instantly.
She turned her head and saw Mo Yuanlin appearing beside her at some point, his deep and dark eyes looking at her without a ripple.
Her fists inside her sleeves tightened, and Yun Wanyao’s whole body tensed up. Her eyelashes fluttered slightly, and she kept cheering herself up in her heart, but when she opened her mouth to speak, she still inevitably stuttered.
"Re-Report to Your Majesty, no, no one..."
"Oh."
The young and handsome Emperor raised an eyebrow in response and sat down next to her.
"Elder brother, why are you here?"
Mo Zhaozhao poked her head out, looking at Mo Yuanlin with curiosity.
She, Yun Wanyao, and Jiang Zitang were sitting side by side, with Yun Wanyao on the far left, herself in the middle, and then Jiang Zitang and Xie Xuanrong.
There was no empty seat between the four of them, so Mo Yuanlin sat on Yun Wanyao’s left side.
"Hmm, I thought your side had a good spot."
Mo Yuanlin lowered his eyelids and responded nonchalantly, and Mo Zhaozhao immediately felt entitled.
"Of course, I chose this spot first. How could it not be good?"
After speaking, she suddenly thought of something and said, "But elder brother, that seat was reserved for the Prince, where will he sit if you sit there? Aren’t you separating the Prince from Ah Yao?"
"Is that so?"
Mo Yuanlin turned his head to look at Yun Wanyao and said, "Just now, you clearly told me there was no one here. Now, do you need me to make way for Yuanhao?"
Hearing this, Yun Wanyao’s scalp tingled, and she instinctively shook her head.
"No, no need, Your Majesty can sit here."
He suddenly came over to ask if someone was beside her, and she was so nervous her mind went blank. How could she even think of Mo Yuanhao?
Moreover, Mo Yuanhao hadn’t said he wanted to sit there. He had been gone so long, even after the Emperor arrived, and he still hadn’t shown up. Was she supposed to keep holding a seat for him?
Now that the Emperor was already sitting there, she certainly didn’t have the courage to ask him to move.
Even if Mo Yuanhao was a Prince, he wasn’t entitled to ask the monarch of the nation to give up his seat.
But, where was Mo Yuanhao? 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝒆𝔀𝒆𝙗𝓷𝒐𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝓶
Yun Wanyao turned her head to look for him and saw him standing by the main stage, looking inexplicably in a direction. Following his line of sight, Yun Wanyao’s pupils contracted.
That direction... it was the heroine!
Why was he looking at the heroine so intently?
Could it be that he couldn’t escape what was destined?
"In that case, I won’t stand on ceremony."
Mo Yuanlin’s gaze shifted slightly, and a trace of a smile passed imperceptibly across his lips, causing Mo Zhaozhao to roll her eyes continuously.
Elder brother really, knowing Ah Yao is afraid of him, still purposely asked like that.
Did he not realize the relationship between the Prince and Ah Yao when he sat there?
"Long live His Majesty."
Jiang Zitang and Xie Xuanrong finally had a chance to greet Mo Yuanlin, and Mo Yuanlin responded with a word, then turned his head to chat idly with Xie Xuanrong.
"What’s Ah Yao looking at?"
Caught in the middle, Mo Zhaozhao wasn’t interested in their conversation. She turned her head toward Yun Wanyao and saw her biting her lip, looking in a direction with a complex expression.
Following her line of sight, she saw Mo Yuanhao.
Mo Zhaozhao didn’t think much of it and teased with a smile, "Oh, she’s looking at the Prince. But the winter banquet doesn’t need the Prince to preside over it. What’s he doing standing there?"
At her words, everyone turned to look in Mo Yuanhao’s direction, but Mo Yuanhao seemed unaware.
He squinted his eyes, examining the exquisite and lazy-looking woman in white not far away, surrounded by an inexplicable sense of strangeness.
Was that Su Qianxue?
How did she seem like a different person?
The previous Su Qianxue always looked foolish. How could she appear so transformed in just these days of not seeing her, with no trace of her former self found?
Suddenly, he recalled how the woman who used to pester him to death, doing all sorts of foolish things and losing face, hadn’t appeared in front of him for a long time.
She hadn’t bothered him again during this period.
This should have been a good thing, but Mo Yuanhao now felt that something was very wrong.
The woman who loved him to death, willing to break off her engagement with Yun Wanchen repeatedly for him, how could she suddenly give up on him?
Old habits die hard.
She wouldn’t give up so easily; there must be some hidden reason behind this.
