Chapter 119: Deceiving Uncle Sheng (16)

After such an incident, the mood became subtle .

Sheng Zhiyu cast a long gaze at Ningcheng, as though criticizing his picking a guqin girl, which led to spoiling everyone’s mood .

Ningcheng didn’t want to admit to his mistake, but he said, “How could I have known I would be so smart?”

“Alright, ” Su Huang said, interrupting their locked eyes . He looked at Sheng Qianmo . “If you want to go to the military camp tomorrow morning, you should go back and rest . ”

He could see that after Shu Nuan’s appearance, Sheng Qianmo had lost interest in drinking .

Sheng Qianmo uttered a faint, “Eh,” and said, “We’ll meet again in a couple of days . ” 

Ji Xili knew that he was referring to her hunting invitation . She couldn’t help but smile and follow up . “Well, then I will go back to rest early as well . ”

Ning Cheng Yuan snorted and then laughed, before muttering, “Ji Xili, you’re hopeless . ”

This day, Ji Xili had come with her subordinates . Sheng Zhiyu could not find an excuse to escort her back . Moreover, Ji Xili had drank little tonight and thus wasn’t drunk .

As Sheng Zhiyu watched Ji Xili’s gentle smile toward Sheng Qianmo, his heart became more depressed . But contrary to expectations, nothing about his emotions could be detected on the surface .

Su Huang pushed open the door and walked out with some others in tow . Ningcheng Yuan couldn’t help but throw a wink at a girl pa.s.sing by in the corridor . Sheng Zhiyu mumbled something, to which Ningcheng refuted, “Better than you, who hasn’t kissed a woman in years!”

When his voice fell, Ji Xili had a changed look on her face, the top of her tongue on her lower lip, and some emotions filled her eyes with a complicated gaze .  

Sheng Zhiyu also subconsciously stole a glance at Ji Xili . Seeing her eyes hanging down and not finding anything in her expression, he chuckled just to go through his emotions .

Su Huang looked at them, his mouth holding a smile . Just then, he glanced by mistake to his side, catching a glimpse inside a half-open screen .

Shu Nuan was standing at the table, forced to take the wine handed by the guest with knitted eyebrows . She should’ve been drinking for some time now . Her little face was red and glowing, and her beautiful eyes were glistening: just lovely to look at .

Even people like Ning Cheng who called guqin girls would get them to drink, which showed that this girl wasn’t smart .

Su Huang turned to look at Sheng Qianmo at the back, wanting to ask him if he would like to help . But when he turned his head, he saw that Sheng Qianmo had opened the door, face cold . The drinking and the laughter came to an abrupt end .

Some people recognized him at a glance and said with disbelief, “Sheng, Prince Sheng?”

However, Sheng Qianmo just stood at the door, his cold eyes locked onto Shu Nuan . He spat out two words from his thin lips: “Come out . ”

His tone didn’t have the slightest emotion, but everyone who heard him could feel the irresistible deterrence of his command .

Shu Nuan heard the voice and sobered a little . She gazed at him with confused eyes, and after staring for a while, she thought of something and lowered her head .

The guests in the room chased her away .  

“The Fourth Prince called for you, yet you still haven’t gone to serve His Highness?!”

Shu Nuan’s eyes opened and she took a deep breath . In the end, she went to him, feeling dizzy . She walked into the table’s corner within a few steps . She grabbed the edge of the table, almost falling down . Finally, she fell into the man’s arms . But soon she felt a chill across her body . Her small hands frantically pushed him away, but the man’s slender and powerful hand grabbed the little hands trying to shove him away . He dragged her out with a cold face .

He didn’t plan to show the slightest kindness .
