Who else could you love besides me - Chapter 104

Chapter 104

Long Ming couldn't help but wonder: Why is it that Tian Xiri, that woman, always has such good luck when she's lying, but why is he so unlucky when it's his turn? What is the reason for this?

The person who entered next was Suo Ge, Long Ming's cousin whom he always respected.

The third person to walk in was Li Yu, who had disguised himself and was now known as Xiao Yu. Long Ming recognized him at a glance.

Upon seeing Suoge, Long Ming's mind flashed back to the pathetic image of himself fleeing through the window...

After struggling for a long time, he finally managed to suppress his urge to escape and calm himself down.

He glanced at Li Yu intentionally, thinking to himself: Li Yu must have known beforehand that his cousin would be coming, so why didn't he tell him? It wouldn't be right to say that Li Yu wanted to harm him on purpose. Li Yu didn't know that he would be the one coming today. The only people who knew that he was coming to be a substitute were Tian Shuang behind him and Tian Xiri.

He glanced again at Tian Shuang behind him...

Uncontrollably, he recalled the confident vows he had made to Xiri before coming here, his promise that he would never embarrass her, his vow to make Wanyan Gena wish he were dead, his current state of wishing he were dead, and his original plan...

Given the current situation... the original plan must be changed! Perhaps... he should just take off his clothes!

But the moment his eyes met those of his cousin, Suoge, the thought vanished.

But now, what should he do? He, who was once fearless of anything, is now tragically helpless.

Just as he was in great distress, Wanyan Gena's eyes lit up, and he seemed quite excited when he saw "her". Suddenly, he shouted something at "her", but he was distracted and did not hear it clearly. Then he saw Wanyan Gena rush over like a madman.

And he...

Suddenly I really want to... I really want to...

He turned and leaped out of the window to escape!

But in the end, I managed to restrain myself again, using willpower to control and restrain my body and legs, which almost reacted instinctively. In fact, my eyes had already involuntarily glanced towards the window to find the right angle and position.

In a flash, Wanyan Gena was already close. Long Ming thought of her cousin Suoge's surprise and Li Yu's amused look, as well as her current identity as Tian Xiri. So she pretended to be quite panicked and embarrassed and dodged away. She turned back to Tian Shuang and tried to wink at her for help. But when she turned around, she saw that Tian Shuang was half asleep and half asleep, seemingly indifferent to what was going on... His eyes were fixed on the disguised Li Yu, who was clearly lost in thought and did not receive her pleading look at all. She was furious! This Tian Shuang only had eyes for Li Yu. She could not be counted on.

At this moment, Wanyan Gena turned and lunged at him again. Overwhelmed by disgust, he lost control of his emotions and reached out... His palm landed squarely on Wanyan Gena's face, flattening Wanyan Gena's nose and finally stopping Wanyan Gena's fierce attack.

After Wanyan Gena's face was grabbed by Long Ming, he immediately jumped away, rubbing his nose which had almost been flattened, and secretly wondering how this delicate woman could be so strong and quick-witted. He then saw Long Ming looking at him with a very embarrassed expression, as if blaming him for his abruptness.

Wanyan Gena immediately put his previous doubts to the back of his mind.

Seeing this, Long Ming tried even harder to make her eyes alluring, attempting to seduce Wanyan Gena. But just as her gaze was almost fully formed, she inadvertently caught a glimpse of her cousin's deep, probing gaze, and her mind went blank, causing her eyelids to twitch…

After a quick mental preparation, when he tried to give Wanyan Gena a seductive smile again, the curve of his lips had reached a point of being almost completely alluring, but it turned into a twitch because of Li Yu's soft laughter.

In the end, he could only endure it with great reluctance, mimicking Tian Xiri's sweet, honey-like voice when she deceived people, and softly called out, "Young Prince..." trying to evoke Wanyan Gena's pity. But before he could finish speaking, he heard Tian Shuang behind him gag.

Long Ming endured it, but seeing Wanyan Gena's lustful eyes roaming over him, clearly aroused, he wanted to continue talking. However, before Tian Shuang could even gag again, he felt like vomiting himself...

He just couldn't take it anymore!

Not only was he fighting alone today, but his cousin Suoge, Li Yu, and Tian Shuang, several people who knew him well, were also present. He could easily be exposed if he wasn't careful. He absolutely couldn't let his cousin and Li Yu know that it was him who had come!

His mind raced, and he thought to himself, "Why not finish this quickly? Skip all the other steps and go straight to the final stage!" This wouldn't be a bad word for Tian Xiri.

After all, he did his best, and time was of the essence!

Just as Long Ming was about to make another move, he heard a servant from Yun Que Courtyard say, "Gentlemen, the food and wine are ready, and the singing and dancing are about to begin. Please take your seats." The servant's voice was noticeably soft, as if he was quite hesitant. After all, the atmosphere among the people in the room was rather strange. The servant was skilled at reading people and naturally noticed it.

Just as they were exchanging glances, two beautiful maids from Yunque Courtyard had carefully arranged the food and wine and were now waiting at the table.

As soon as the servant spoke, Suoge broke the awkward atmosphere with a light cough and said, "Since Miss Tian is here, why don't you sit down and have a cup of tea with me?"

As they were talking, Wanyan Gena reached out his hand to "Tian Xiri" again, but Suoge subtly pulled it back. Suoge smiled at Wanyan Gena and said, "Brother Wanyan, please."

Before Long Ming could answer his cousin's question, Yan Gena turned to look at him and asked in confusion, "You're not surnamed Wang?"

"I've never been surnamed Wang," Long Ming admitted, and sat down with the two of them.

Upon hearing this, Wanyan Gena showed no surprise whatsoever. After a moment's thought, he immediately realized and asked, "Wang Xiucai is your adoptive father?"

This time it was Long Ming's turn to be surprised. He said with a hint of sarcasm, "You have quite the imagination."

Wanyan Gena smiled, adopting a very humble demeanor, and replied, "You flatter me, you flatter me."

The barbarian clearly didn't understand the meaning behind his words, so Long Ming ignored him and let him interpret them as he pleased.

Soge couldn't understand their conversation at all, but he didn't ask any questions.

Upon entering the room, Li Yu noticed the scene and vaguely sensed something. She glanced thoughtfully at Tian Shuang, whose expression was strange and whose brows were furrowed, and then carefully examined the "Tian Xiri" in front of her. Suddenly, she realized something, and a faint smile flashed across her lips.

However, Long Ming noticed Li Yu's strange smile. Even though the smile was light and quick, it still made Long Ming very uncomfortable.

Long Ming raised an eyebrow and said loudly, "You lot, get out! You don't need to serve me anymore." She had disliked them for a long time!

Upon hearing this, the maids and servants of Yunque Courtyard clearly disapproved of being ordered around by a "woman." They first looked at Suoge and Wanyan Gena. Suoge waved his hand, and the servants and maids immediately bowed and withdrew.

Tian Shuang glanced at Long Ming, who then glanced at her back. Tian Shuang immediately left.

Li Yu seemed reluctant to leave, but Wanyan Gena said, "You go out and wait too."

Li Yu had no choice but to agree. Before leaving, he glanced at Long Ming, only to see that Long Ming remained calm and did not look at him.

A moment later, only three people remained in the room: Long Ming, who was impersonating Tian Xiri; Prince Xi, Suoge; and Wanyan Gena, the young prince of the Jin Kingdom.

With Tian Shuang and Li Yu no longer behind him, Long Ming felt a sense of relief.

Seeing that there were fewer people, Wanyan Gena revealed his true colors. Regardless of the presence of Prince Xi Suoge, he sat down next to Long Ming and reached under the table to hold Long Ming's hand. Long Ming felt it, struggled slightly at first, and then seemed quite shy as he let Wanyan Gena hold his hand. Not only that, he also secretly pinched Wanyan Gena, causing Wanyan Gena to tremble slightly as if flattered.

The two people opposite him were exchanging glances, which Suoge naturally noticed, but he remained calm and got up to personally pour them tea. Perhaps because "Tian Xiri" was present, Suoge did not drink any wine.
