Xiang Jintian's lips were pressed together, frozen in place, unsure whether to stay or leave.
Mei Yuebai could naturally sense his presence. He narrowed his eyes slightly and said coldly, "Lord Xixi, are you sure you want to get intimate with another man in front of me?"
Xu Qian raised an eyebrow and reached out to push him away.
As soon as he sensed her movement, the man held her tightly, refusing to let go.
"Are you going to argue with me for another man?"
Xu Qian was amused by his childish behavior.
"Ah Bai, you know me, and I know you. Let's not dwell on this topic anymore, okay?"
Mei Yuebai trembled all over and slowly released her.
His eyes turned red, and he said in a deep voice, "I'll ask you one last time, can you tell me the reason?"
They did indeed understand Xu Qian. With her personality, she wouldn't provoke so many men for no reason, and moreover... they were the top men in the apocalypse.
It wasn't bragging, it was a fact.
Xu Qian must have had her reasons for doing this.
The young woman tilted her head and looked at them, smiling, "I'm sorry, I can only tell you my reasons after the apocalypse is over."
"So, if you want to know, then unite with me and let's end the apocalypse together."
A hint of unwillingness flashed in Mei Yuebai's eyes. He didn't want to share Xu Qian with anyone, including Uncle Xiang.
Lord Xixi was his alone.
Xiang Jintian frowned but remained silent.
Xu Qian had told him before that she might tell him the answer in three or five years.
He believed Xu Qian wouldn't lie to him, and he had enough patience to wait.
Ah Bai, however, didn't have such good patience...
Xu Qian rubbed his silver short hair and said softly, "Just indulge me this once?"
Mei Yuebai suddenly looked up. The young woman narrowed her dark eyes, her expression seemingly gentle.
But he somehow felt that if he truly refused, his fate would be dire.
What was this feeling of being a coward!
Be brave!
"Lord Xixi, I think..." I still need to make things clear!
When would this messy relationship be clarified if not now?
Wouldn't it be even more complicated in a few years?
Before he could finish speaking, Xu Qian's light hum interrupted him.
"Hmm?"
A layer of frost covered the young woman's brow, and her gaze towards him was as if she were looking at a lifeless object.
Mei Yuebai wisely swallowed his words. No rush, he could talk about it later.
"Shall we go eat?"
Xu Qian smiled faintly and softly agreed. She turned her gaze to the man in uniform beside her, "Would you like to join us?"
Xiang Jintian shook his head, "I still have things to attend to. You two go ahead."
He still wasn't quite accustomed to this trio dynamic...
Xu Qian pursed her lips and smiled. No matter how handsome he was, he was still an old man at heart.
The three of them walked out of the courtyard hand in hand and then parted ways.
The person in power could not dine outside. He had a private kitchen and dining room in the courtyard and could eat whenever he wished.
Xu Qian then realized how troublesome Mei Yuebai's meals were. Did he have to have his food tested for poison like the emperors of old?
Mei Yuebai smiled, "There's no need for poison testing, it's just that we've kept the old rules." He paused, "Just like Grandpa."
Xu Qian understood. After all, as a descendant of royalty who would inherit the throne, there couldn't be any mistakes.
Soon, the dishes were served, all famous dishes from the capital.
Roast duck, Gong Bao diced chicken, roasted meat, and a vegetarian dish.
"Put some roast duck meat in the thin pancake, along with shredded cucumber and sweet sauce. It's delicious."
Mei Yuebai personally made one for her and placed it at her lips.
"Ah—"
