Chapter 199
Huo Yuyan was looking at the moon beyond the eaves at the moment, and did not notice Lou Wanjun’s expression.
He smiled faintly.
“It’s just that sometimes, I still miss the days in Yangguan.” He turned his head sideways and looked at her.
Lou Wanjun nodded and agreed, “In Yangguan, there’s naturally more freedom than now.”
Huo Yuyan smilingly said, “I feel the same way. Little Sister Wanjun, although I’m now considered to be under one person and above all others, I do not want to be such a cold Crown Prince. You see, Wujiu is not very close to me now.”
Having said this, he smiled and shook his head: “However, it may not be all because the two of us are estranged. Now that he has grown up, whoever he wants to keep around him is naturally not up to me. It’s just a pity that he has let a villain drive a wedge between us, but I I can’t say anything.”
Lou Wanjun raised her eyebrows without a trace.
The people around Huo Wujiu?
Huo Yuyan has just arrived. He must be implying something. Could he be referring to His Highness Jingwang?
Does Jingwang also sow discord between the two brothers? No way. Jingwang and she have some kind of friendship. She knew that His Highness was a kind person, so how could he do such a thing?
She had doubts in her heart, but she didn’t dare to say anything.
Because for some reason, she had this feeling that Huo Yuyan’s words were specially directed to her. If she had never been in touch with Jiang Suizhou before, she would have believed Huo Yuyan’s words. But now… they somehow sounded strange.
Suspicions sprouted deep in her heart, but she didn’t dare to voice out whatever came to mind.
She stayed silent for a second and then said tentatively, “Indeed. Who would have thought that Huo Yuyan and Jiang Suizhou would make true of what started as rumors? It’s okay. I think Huo Wujiu just finds him a novelty.”
Huo Yuyan was swayed when he heard her response.
Although he couldn’t completely believe Lou Wanjun’s words, he also knew that she was a frank and honest person, who spoke her mind. Since she could say so, he felt even more reassured.
That being the case, Lou Wanjun wasn’t standing in Huo Wujiu and his company’s camp, so she could be used.
With that belief, he gently smiled and shook his head, “Forget it. As long as Wujiu is happy, that’s all that matters. However, Little Sister Wanjun, you don’t have to be so formal in the future. Just keep calling me Brother behind others, all right?”
Lou Wanjun blinked her eyes and looked at him.
Indeed, this person’s mind has always been inscrutable. He appeared soft and weak, but his words seemed to mean something else. It felt inexplicably wrong.
But…
Lou Wanjun thought to herself: Who cares? It’s no big deal to call him Brother. For the sake of his good looks and frailty, just let him be.
She paused and replied in a whisper, “Got it, Brother Huo.”
Huo Yuyan curled the corner of his mouth following the name she called out, and reached out to caress her hair.
Lou Wanjun vaguely figured out his intention. Seeing that he was sick and weak, she simply stepped forward and squatted down: “Brother Huo, what are you trying to do?”
Huo Yuyan’s hand fell on her hair.
“It’s nothing. I just didn’t expect that after not seeing you for so many years, you’ve grown into such a big girl.” He smiled warmly.
His smile was actually ambiguous, akin to a merman in the sea singing his song in an attempt to attract passing ships to him.
When Huo Wu Jiu returned that day, he reeked of alcohol.
However, he could hold his liquor well, plus no one dared dissuade him from drinking. Just having a few drinks with Huo Yuyan wasn’t enough to moisten his throat.
As soon as he left his seat, he headed straight to Jiang Suizhou’s bedchamber.
However, it wasn’t clear whether the room was Jiang Suizhou’s or his. He has stayed in for a long time, so be it daily clothes and supplies, or the few people who always served him, all of them were now here. The vitality of two people seemed intertwined in the room.
As soon as he entered the door, he saw Jiang Suizhou sitting there, frowning.
“What’s the matter?” He thought Jiang Suizhou encountered something difficult, so he hurriedly asked as he approached him.
Jiang Suizhou raised his head and said somewhat anxiously, “I didn’t expect that Huo Yuyan would still think of such an idea.”
“What kind of idea?” Huo Wujiu asked quickly.
Jiang Suizhou pursed his lips.
“Just now I specifically left someone to keep an eye on him, and that person came to report that he waited for Miss Lou at the lake. He didn’t know what the two of them talked about, but Huo Yuyan even caressed Miss Lou’s hair.”
Huo Wujiu sneered: “He wants to start from Lou Wanjun. Don’t tell me he wants Lou Yue to defect? Not to mention that Lou Wanjun is not so easy to fool, even if she is, Lou Yue doesn’t have the guts to betray me because of such a thing.”
But Jiang Suizhou shook his head.
If it was just the matter in front of him, he would naturally not worry. But… he recalled some traces about Lou Wanjun in history.
She brought a posthumous son to guard the border with Huo Wujiu. Historians speculated that the child was Huo Wujiu’s. After all, the child was born with Huo Wujiu’s surname.
But nobody was certain. Since she and Huo Wujiu loved each other, and had a son, why didn’t they get married in their lifetime?
Now, Jiang Suizhou has figured out the reason behind.
If in history, Huo Yuyan also made a move on Lou Wanjun and succeeded, then the child and the relationship between Lou Wanjun and Huo Wujiu all could be explained.
If this was true, he naturally could not let Lou Wanjun repeat the same mistake.
“But what if Huo Yuyan succeeds?” Jiang Suizhou was a little anxious. “Although he is weak, his mind is deep, while Miss Lou is simple-minded. If we really let him trick Miss Lou, how can we explain it to General Lou?”
Huo Wujiu froze, somewhat unable to understand his credulous attitude.
He thought for a moment and asked, “Do you think that Huo Yuyan will definitely be able to fool Lou Wanjun?”
Jiang Suizhou nodded and said, “Although there is no evidence now, I believe in this conjecture.”
When he said this, he felt a bit apprehensive deep inside.
All his conjectures were based on those historical materials from his previous life. Without relaying these words to Huo Wujiu, his attitude now was rather baffling.
He thought Huo Wujiu wouldn’t believe him either…
