Chapter 1393: Chapter 1392

Hou Baiyu opened the door and saw Luo Yirui with an excited expression, his face darkened further. Seeing this guy at this time certainly spells trouble!

As expected...

"I heard you’ve gained a fiancée?" Luo Yirui asked with a playful smile.

Hou Baiyu squinted. If he used a fighting talisman, he and Luo Yirui would probably tie, but if Jing Changle joined in, it would be hard to say, so the chances of throwing him out were pretty low.

How to make him scram?

Luo Yirui stepped forward and put his arm around Hou Baiyu’s shoulder. "I hear she’s a rich young lady, from the Nie Family, particularly beautiful and very elegant, good figure too. Are you tempted, brother?"

As he spoke, he guided him smoothly into the room.

Hou Baiyu took a deep breath. His usual indifference seemed to falter in front of this person, because encountering him made it particularly easy to get angry, and once angry, emotions were uncontrollable.

Hou Baiyu slapped away the claw-like hand from his shoulder, squinted at him, and gave him one word, "Scram."

Luo Yirui, showing no shame, put his arm back around his shoulder. "Come on, brother, shouldn’t you share such a happy occasion with your pals? We’re all eager to understand your inner wor— no, your pleasant mood!"

Jing Changle, sitting nearby on the soft chair, said, "Now the rumors have spread, clearly with Nie Family’s intent. What do you plan to do?"

Hou Baiyu pushed Luo Yirui aside and walked over to sit down, "The Nie Family’s goal is still unclear, but they must have some reason."

Rumors like this hadn’t surfaced for a long time, which is why Hou Baiyu was completely unaware upon hearing it. He didn’t even know who Nie Jiaqi was. Of course, even if he ran into her at some event, he wouldn’t remember.

Luo Yirui perched on Hou Baiyu’s desk, successfully making Hou Baiyu’s gaze grow colder.

"Nie Family has a sizeable ambition," Luo Yirui said with a crooked smile, though it didn’t reach his eyes.

"What do you think?" Hou Baiyu asked Luo Yirui.

Nie Jiaqi’s arrival was indeed quite timely, especially after the Strawberry Mango incident. But even though Nie Jiaqi is the eldest Miss of the Nie Family, she’s only a spoiled young lady. What role does she play in this?

This was what Hou Baiyu couldn’t figure out, and what puzzled Luo Yirui and Jing Changle as well.

While watching the drama unfold was part of it, their real reason for coming was to hear Hou Baiyu’s thoughts.

Luo Yirui currently had no leads either and started to act mischievous, spreading his hands. "I’m not even her fiancé; how would I know? But you, don’t you understand your pillow talk companion’s thoughts?"

Jing Changle reached out, pressing his temples, and suddenly the temperature dropped. He sighed; should he change seats?

Luo Yirui quickly extended his hand. "Don’t be agitated, you can’t be so irritable! Nie Jiaqi’s temper is also hot; one of you has to concede to the other, right?"

Downstairs.

Hou Changli was sitting on the sofa reading a newspaper, when he heard noise coming from upstairs. It started small, but grew louder and louder.

He shook his head, fighting again.

The Family Head of the Hou Family, long accustomed to this scene, turned a page in the newspaper, completely unmoved.

The servants watched with their eyes on their noses, their noses on their mouths, as if they hadn’t heard the commotion upstairs. Yet in their hearts, they sighed, knowing they were in for a busy time again.
