Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
It was no surprise that the lady addressed herself as Ye Hongfeng. She took off her scarf after entering the house.
Rong Che was shocked when he got a good look at her features, and said with a smile, "Miss Ye looks so similar to Xijiu! People might even think you're twins!"
Ye Hongfeng smiled, "Yes, I was shocked as well!"
Gu Xijiu smiled slightly, "Yes, what a coincidence."
Di Fuyi suddenly had an idea, but he kept it to himself. He acted as though he was the hollow man as he hardly talked ever since he joined Rong Che upstairs.
They sat down again. Rong Che needed some help from them. Hence, he served Ye Hongfeng a cup of tea and chatted with them for a while.
Gu Xijiu gently played with her teacup. She was sure that the Ye Hongfeng in front of her had no memories of the modern world and her personalities were very much different than before. The Ye Hongfeng in the modern era was well pampered and arrogant, but the Ye Hongfeng in front of them was as naive as a little bunny.
The environmental factors greatly affected the transformation of human personalities. Was this Ye Hongfeng's actual personality? Had she just being pampered too much in the modern world?
An hour later, Long Siye finally arrived. He was wearing a mask, and his white robe was fluttering as he walked in. He seemed to be calmer than he was a year ago. Apparently, he did not expect to bump into Gu Xijiu here. Hence, he paused for a second when he stepped into the house! His gaze froze as he saw her, "Xijiu!"
Gu Xijiu greeted him, "Hi Overlord Long. It's been a while."
Long Siye pursed his lips, "It's better for you to address me as Teacher Long as it would sound better."
Gu Xijiu was fine with it, "Alright, Teacher Long."
Long Siye nodded slightly and scanned the room. Finally, his attention shifted onto Di Fuyi, "Who is this? Is he the Eighth Prince's younger brother?"
Emperor Xuan had quite a few children. In fact, Rong Che had a few younger siblings, and some of them were only as young as eight or nine years old...
Rong Che smiled, "I wished that my younger brother was so charming, but no, this is Xijiu's little friend."
Di Fuyi did not move from his position. Instead, he smiled slightly but remained silent. He was very fair, and his smile touched everyone's heart. Thus, Long Siye could not help but take a glimpse of him.
Everyone had finally arrived. Rong Che ordered a tableful of dishes and another round of drinks again.
Long Siye was the main host for this gathering. Hence, he was sitting in the host's seat. Gu Xijiu had a higher status than many of them in a way. Hence, Rong Che seated her on the right side of Long Siye and Di Fuyi was seated on the right side of Gu Xijiu.
Long Siye was always cold to everyone. However, it seemed to be different for Ye Hongfeng. Throughout the dinner, he occasionally filled her bowl with dishes and also placed her favorite dishes in front of her. He even peeled the prawn shells for her occasionally...
He did not seem to be faking his actions, but he often peeked at Gu Xijiu secretly to determine her response. However, Gu Xijiu did not care much about him. Instead, she paid full attention to the little boy beside her.
Indeed, the little boy was handsome and lovely. However, he seemed to have a certain disorder as he was so fussy about his food. He only ate the meat on the rear part of prawn, and the heart of the vegetables. Furthermore, there were so many things he did not want to eat.
Gu Xijiu started preparing the food for the little boy after she saw his behavior. She seemed to be more patient with him as compared to her younger brother.
Long Siye suddenly realized he could not continue eating and decided to ask, "Xijiu, who is he?"
