Holy crap, a second prince!

His gaze evasive, Fu Yanci unconsciously raised a hand to cover his mouth and gave a light cough. His eyes darted from side to side, and he began to stammer.

"I-I was too nervous, so I found some dogs to practice with."

Disbelief spread across Lin Yuxuan's face. Unable to restrain himself, he stuck his head right between Chi An and Fu Yanci. "What do you mean, proposal? And those comments online-did something happen that I don't know about?"

"Yeah, why can't either of us understand what they're saying?" Gu Zijin pulled Lin Yuxuan back into place. To stop him from doing anything else out of line, Gu Zijin draped his leg over Lin Yuxuan, firmly keeping him where he was.

Suddenly finding Lin Yuxuan and Gu Zijin a little in the way, Ren Anwen silently begged forgiveness and nudged Ren Wuyang beside her, hoping he would deal with them.

"Wuyang, take them aside and explain it to them."

"Ah... but-"

Looking at the eager eyes of the two beside him, then at Fu Yanci and Chi An still at an impasse ahead, Ren Wuyang finally gave in. He took the pair to sit on the other side of the table, remembering to open the livestream on his phone.

Luckily, this phone could play livestreams too.

"I'll explain what happened this afternoon while we watch the livestream."

Lin Yuxuan and Gu Zijin said, "Okay."

"Wait, Yanci, I remember Uncle didn't have this much trouble pursuing Aunt back then, did he?" Song Wenjing could hardly believe what he was hearing. Could Fu Yanci really have done something this stupid?!

How could he blame Chi An for breaking up with him? Someone like this didn't deserve a partner at all!

A crack appeared in her elegant mask. Chi Shuran quietly leaned over to Chi An, completely ignoring Fu Yanci's gaze, and asked the question she most wanted answered. "What exactly did you see in him? His face? Looking in the mirror every day would be better than looking at him, wouldn't it?"

"Money? Does our family lack money?"

"Power? Do you need anything like that?"

Looking languid, Chi An pressed a hand to Chi Shuran's forehead and flicked it lightly. "Didn't he just say it? I simply thought there was something wrong with his brain."

"Go ask the staff when we can unpack and eat."

Chi Shuran said, "Okay."

[Some people really don't deserve a partner. Chi An, why did you give this man a chance and let him mistakenly think he's good at flirting?]

[Other people before proposing: No, I'm so nervous, so nervous. I need to do a good job later.

Fu Yanci proposing: A little nervous. I'll find a pack of dogs to rehearse my lines with.]

[The fact that they've already broken up tells us Fu Yanci's proposal didn't succeed. Forget pursuing him for now and learn how to talk first.]

[Crown prince, send me 50 and I'll teach you sweet talk. Guaranteed to win Chi An over and make him remember you for the rest of his life.]

[How very kind of you, taking his money, asking for more, and screwing him over while you're at it. Are you that afraid the crown prince will survive tonight?]

[Thanks, Chi Shuran. Money, power, and looks-we've got it. Chi An definitely has a special background. Add that to the hint Chi An gave us earlier-friends in M Country, have you dug anything up?]

[Almost! We'll definitely have results tonight!]

[Wait, I only just realized. Fu Yanci's father is Song Wenjing's maternal uncle? So Song Wenjing's mother is Fu Yanci's paternal aunt? A marriage alliance between the Fu Family and the Song family... Song Wenjing is from THAT Song family?!]

[Holy crap, a crown pri... no, our Fu Yanci is the crown prince, so Song Wenjing... holy crap, a second prince!]

"We can go now. Let's unpack!"

After checking with the staff, Chi Shuran waved to the others and headed straight toward the luggage.

"Let's go."

His eyelids drooping, Chi An slowly rose and turned toward his suitcase. Before his hand could touch it, a large hand reached out from behind him and grabbed it. "Let's go. I'll carry it."

"If you're really sleepy, I could carry you on my back too. You didn't have a nap. You never have any energy in the afternoon without one."

Pulling two suitcases, Fu Yanci walked at the front with Chi An, followed by a group of people wearing strange expressions.

"Is there something wrong with your cousin? Why does he keep clinging to my brother?"

Someone else had monopolized the brother she had brought along. Chi Shuran stared at Fu Yanci's back, grinding her teeth in anger, her eyes looking as though she wanted to skin him alive and swallow him whole.

Song Wenjing shuddered at the look in Chi Shuran's eyes. "Don't forget my cousin's still buying you a car. What's with that look?"

Although he couldn't understand Fu Yanci's behavior either, Fu Yanci was still his cousin, after all. He couldn't just let someone insult him.

Damn! I forgot about that!

"Sorry? What did you just say? My amnesia just flared up again. I'm so sorry." Her eyes turned innocent and bewildered again as Chi Shuran looked at Song Wenjing, as though she genuinely had no idea what had just happened.

Ha-

This helpless feeling of wanting to punch something but having no way to vent it was fucking awful!

Song Wenjing took a deep breath and forced himself to calm down. "It's nothing."

Mom had taught him since childhood not to argue with girls. He would endure it!

Just acting, right? Although he had started out as a singer, who in the entertainment industry didn't have some acting skills?

They would see who could outact whom!

"Zijin, this still feels a little surreal. What did Wuyang just say Chi An and Yanci's relationship was again?" Pulling his suitcase at the rear of the group, Lin Yuxuan pondered for a long while, then asked again, still finding it hard to believe.

Gu Zijin said, "Exes."

Feeling that the world had become rather surreal himself, Gu Zijin walked along in a daze, equally disbelieving.

Although he could tell that Fu Yanci treated Chi An differently from everyone else, he had never imagined they would have a relationship like this, and such... awkward exes at that?

Though they hadn't sensed the slightest awkwardness between those two.

"Anwen, what if there are only four rooms? How are we going to sleep?"

This was Ren Wuyang's biggest concern right now. Men and women were different, and besides, they were siblings. At their age, how could they possibly share a room?

"I can just stay with Shu Ran."

Lu Wanqing would definitely stay with her younger sister, and there was no way Ren Anwen could squeeze in with them. Apart from her, Chi Shuran was the only other girl, so naturally the two of them would share.

But why hadn't Lu Wanqing and Li Nanyi come back yet?

"Huh? If you stay with Shu Ran, what am I supposed to do? If I share with Chi An, Fu Yanci will definitely beat me up!"

Did his sister not care about his personal safety at all?!

At the thought of the impending risk of a beating, Ren Wuyang wilted completely. Even his steps became weak and listless, as though he might collapse at any moment.

There wouldn't even be cameras at night. Would Fu Yanci throw him straight out once he fell asleep?

Or would he just assassinate him at night, tie him up with rope, and lock him in the bathroom?

Boohoohoo-

Too scary!
