Rebirth As a Fatuous and Self-indulgent Ruler

Chapter 166: I’m Also Interested in Him (I)

Burning with anger, Long followed the servant to Wu Xiangyuan’s place.

Just as he arrived there, he heard a woman’s laughter.

“Brother Shi, you’re so funny.”

Long’s face darkened. Funny?

“Humph, I wonder what funny things Qingzhou said can make Miss Wu so happy.”

Hearing Long’s voice, the two people in the room were stunned.

Shi reacted violently. He suddenly stood up and quickly walked to Long. “Why are you here?”

Long looked at Shi with a smile. “What’s the matter, Qingzhou? Can’t I come here?”

Shi slightly pursed his lips and noticed that Long wasn’t happy.

Shi shook his head. “No, I…”

“Brother Shi.” Wu called softly and walked to Shi with unhurried elegance.

“Wow, it sounds like you’re so close. But Miss Wu, your Brother Shi belongs to me now. Aren’t you afraid that it’ll cause any misunderstanding? Even if you don’t worry about that, you’re still a woman. Don’t you care about your reputation at all?”

It was really rude to say that.

Wu felt embarrassed. Then, she turned to look at Shi as if she was about to cry.

Shi frowned and said, “You misunderstood us. There’s nothing between Miss Wu and me.”

Seeing that his empress was defending an outsider, Long glared at him.

Shi clenched his fists and didn’t plan to give in.

Long was not very angry at first, but Shi’s reaction made him furious, so he looked at Shi fiercely.

Unexpectedly, Shi turned to Wu.

“Miss Wu, thank you for today’s information. We still have something else to do. We’ll take our leave.”

Wu sobbed. “Brother Shi…”

Instead of responding to her, Shi said to Long, “Let’s go.”

Long narrowed his eyes and looked at Shi. Then, he turned and left directly. He didn’t look at Wu at all!

Shi slightly lowered his head. Then, he went out to follow Long.

Wu watched Long and Shi go out successively. When their figures disappeared completely, she laughed.

The emperor was so impulsive… and also so stupid. It was easy to plot against such a person. If something unexpected like this happened several times, the emperor and her Brother Shi would definitely be alienated, right?

Originally, Wu just wanted to plant seeds of doubts in her Brother Shi’s mind to make him feel that the emperor wasn’t treating him sincerely and he was guarding against him in every aspect.

She didn’t expect that the emperor would come here to meet them when she was secretly dating her Brother Shi!

Haha! She really should be grateful for the emperor’s behavior, shouldn’t she?

Wu stopped pretending to cry and a sneer lifted the corners of her mouth.

That sneer made her beautiful face look ferocious.

However, Wu didn’t notice that.

Long left that place and walked very fast. Obviously, his speed showed that he was unhappy.

Shi caught up, but didn’t keep pace with him. He just walked behind Long.

Long knew that Shi was right behind him, but seeing that Shi didn’t go to explain it to him or say some nice words, Long became angrier!

As a result, Long walked faster and faster.

No matter how fast Long walked, Shi could easily keep up with him. He just walked behind him and didn’t do anything else.

When they reached the secret entrance to the imperial palace, Shi still kept silent, which made Long furious.

“Good! You won’t talk? Fine! Then just keep silent!”

Long was in a rage.

Thinking about that, Long quickly stepped into the secret passage…

After returning to Qiankun Palace, Long directly went to the bedroom.

Shi followed him.

Long sat on the edge of the bed and stared at Shi in anger.

Shi finally opened his mouth. “What did you worry about?”

Long’s eyes widened as soon as he heard those words. “What do you think?”

“You stalked me?” Shi asked again.

Long knitted his brows. “What?”

Shi said coldly, “You were afraid I’d date women outside, right?”

“You…” Long found that Shi was a little strange.

Shi said more coldly, “If you were worried, you could just send someone to come with me. Why did you stalk me?”

“You…” Long got very angry and disappointed. “Shi Qingzhou! What are you talking about?”

Shi slightly pursed his lips and said, “Isn’t that right? I left the palace. You don’t trust me, so you stalked me.”

“You…” Long trembled with anger. “Why don’t I trust you? Is this your first time that you went out of the palace? I finished my work, so I went out to find you. You…”

“So you went to Tianji Sect?” Disappointment filled Shi’s eyes. “Long Xiaoyuan, do you dare to say that you went there not because you don’t trust me and were afraid that I’d date that woman there?”

“You…” Long was filled with fury. Shi’s attitude really let him down. He wanted to swear at Shi, but he felt a little powerless.

Later, Long gritted his teeth and said calmly, “Shi Qingzhou, I don’t want to talk with you when we’re both angry.”

After that, Long got up and went out…

Shi lowered his head and said nothing, just letting Long leave.

Long left Qiankun Palace and went to the imperial study.

He didn’t expect this to happen this time.

Shi’s attitude made him angry, disappointed… and sad.
