Chapter 254: Fighting over Murong Xue (1/2)

Translator: Guy Gone Bad

The moment Gong Qianyu failed to hold Murong Xue’s hands, anger appeared in his bright eyes. He said as he looked at Ouyang Shaochen coldly, “You’re also a man, why can you touch her?”

“Because we’re related,” Ouyang said in a bland and emotionless tone. But Gong perceived a hint of showing off and asked with a frown, “How?”

“We’ll be a family, together forever!” Ouyang sounded reserved and a bit solemn.

Gong blinked and talked back word by word, “Murong Xue and I can also be a family, together forever.”

In an instant, Ouyang’s face turned sullen and shot Gong a piercing stare, overwhelmed by which no one dared to speak.

Looking up at the sky, Murong was lost in thoughts speechlessly: Gong was simply being unyielding when he talked back, and he was even too unsophisticated to understand Ouyang’s words.

However, it was no trifle for the heir of Lord Freedom to get angry at, so Murong must stand out to ease the tension.

“Heir Gong, what a surprise!” Murong stood out and looked at Gong blandly, who was supposed to supervise as a commander of the troops in the military camp.

“I need a break back here from the noisy camp,” Gong replied gently. Looking at Murong without blinking, he continued, “I have a room here. Are you gonna stay here?”

“Yes,” Murong nodded.

“I live in the courtyard next door, which is scenic and quiet. You can also stay there,” Gong said with a touch of excitement in his eyes.

To Duan Wuluo’s great shock, this talky man with a smiling face and sparkling eyes was truly the Prince of Nanjiang, who used to look arrogant and defiant to Duan.

The plunge in temperature chilled Duan to the bone. Abruptly, he came to his senses and looked up only to see Gong and Murong having an agreeable conversation with an onlooker, Ouyang. His sharp eyes sparkled with coldness, as if cold air which was able to reach the bone in a minute.

As the violent twitches of his eyelids gave off a foreboding, Duan hastened to say, “It’s time for dinner. Please come with me.”

Ouyang was a noble, unstained gentleman with the hard-hearted and excessively wise character, so his anger couldn’t be neglected and needed soothing.

“Thank you, Prefect Duan,” Ouyang said blandly as he pushed Murong forward, dragging her by the arm. “Let’s have dinner.”

“Murong Xue!” Gong stood still, staring at her with his bright eyes.

Murong turned around to look at him and asked, “Have you had dinner?”

“Not yet.” Gong shook his head, looking a bit upset.

“Come join us.” Murong smiled.

“Sounds great!” Gong nodded and caught up with them with a sparkle in his dark eyes.

Looking slightly sullen, Ouyang instantly held Murong more tightly by the arm since she invited Gong to have dinner together while she had never invited Ouyang before.
