Chapter 148
148 Not right
” I am quite a catch, did you not know that?” Zhai Tianyu asked as he turned his head to the side to look at Liu Hui Ying, he did not know why she was suddenly calling him a great catch but he decided to agree with her because he was indeed a wonderful catch no matter what Liu Hui Ying said about him.
Liu Hui Ying hummed after taking a glance at the man next to her, she has never been rather fond of men, especially with her sister raging inside her even now she could feel her sister carefully narrowing her eyes as she looked at Zhai Tianyu, maybe it was because of his Emperor aura but her sister did not seem to have any idea about what to do with this man who was neither harmless nor harmful to them.
Currently, she was seriously judging him with annoyance brimming in her entire existence.
The two of them did not talk much but as the two approached the top of the stairs, Liu Hui Ying’s feet ended up being caught by the long pants that she was wearing and her body tumbled forward, seeing the number of stairs in front of her Liu Hui Ying’s eyes widened and she was prepared to use one of her talisman or ghost as her cushion when she felt someone catch her arm as they pulled her back.
” Be careful,” said Zhai Tianyu who was the one who caught Liu Hui Ying, he carefully dragged her back to the top of the stairs where he was standing and then added swiftly, ” The stairs have been uneven for quite some time, if you are not careful then you will end up falling on the bottom of the stairs without getting a chance to save yourself.”
Liu Hui Ying too looked down at the small space that was empty because of the stone being chipped off it and she couldn’t help but snort as she snatched her hand away from Zhai Tianyu and said angrily, ” If you know that there is something wrong with the stairs then you should have repaired them already what are you waiting for? Someone to fall down the stairs and then only will you repair these stairs your esteemed majesty?”
The guards who were standing on either side of the study felt their mouths drop as they looked at the man who was scolding the Emperor like he had every right to do it and then shook their heads, the young man looked smart but looked like he was not going to be able to live past a single day in this imperial palace.
But to their shock, the Emperor did not get angry at the young man instead he very softly and calmly said, ” I understand, I will ask someone to repair these stairs, it will be troublesome if someone was to fall.”
Guard no 1: “....”
.....
Guard no 2: “....”
This was their Emperor, right? The one who was like a tyrant idiot who did not let anyone say anything dissatisfactory in front of him? He was actually letting this young man who did not even know what he was saying get away after acting so imprudently? Was this truly their emperor?
” That will be better,” Liu Hui Ying scoffed before she turned her head to look at the stairs and swallowed heavily, now she has to climb down these stairs again. While she was looking at the stairs, the Emperor was looking at the stairs as well, he knew that Liu Hui Ying was dreading walking down the stairs again, so he pondered over it for a minute and too before he turned to look at the guards who were behind him and said, ” Ask the palanquin bearers to bring another palanquin for this gentleman here as well.”
He was only being nice to her because he needed her help and nothing more!
Liu Hui Ying too did not think much about it, she nodded to herself as she sighed in relief. At least now she did not have to worry about going down these hellish stairs, with her heart at ease she threw the worries in her head away, on the other hand, Li Gang who was eyeing the Emperor narrowed his eyes.
” This man does not look right to me,” Li Gang told Jia Li as he glared at the Emperor who was standing a bit further away from Liu Hui Ying.
” What do you mean?” Jia Li questioned as she turned her head and looked at Li Gang who was glaring meanly at Zhai Tianyu. ” Isn’t he just sucking up to Hui Ying because she is going to help him?”
” Bah!” Li Gang scoffed through his nose. ” The next-door neighbour who lived in the apartment complex used to look at the young miss on the third floor as well, he used to say that he was only looking out for her because she helped him once when he needed it very much and you know what happened six months later?”
” He got her pregnant,” Grandma Lan Fen’s gossipy spirit was roused when she heard what Li Gang said and then she clapped her hands as she continued to gush in a rapid-fire motion. ” It was such a huge shock for even that man’s granny who haunted the toilet of the first floor, she said that she too did not have any idea how her grandson did something so sly.”
” Exactly,” Li Gang squinted his eyes even more in Zhai Tianyu’s direction and sneered, ” That man used to look at the young missy like that as well, acting all prim and proper but when he got the chance he turned a wild beast causing the rice to be cooked and the bun to bake.”
Jia Li did not understand what he was saying but she still nodded and said, ” So what, even if he is looking at Liu Hui Ying like that why does it matter?”
” Why does it matter?” Li Gang looked at Jia Li like he did not expect her to say something stupid and hissed sharply, ” If Liu Hui Ying gets involved with him then we won’t be able to go back home, is that what you want?”
