1483: Deep Thoughts in the Middle of the Night

Deep Thoughts in the Middle of the Night

3Ever since Majesty Huang had stepped down from his political role and Majesty Kang took charge of the royal matters, everyone had followed the latter's words and opinions obediently.

Even if his words went against the rules, they still followed.

Majesty Kang thought that it was great to wield so much power. However, when it was quiet in the middle of the night, his heart merely grew emptier and colder.

His father was old and in poor health. He needed to recuperate, so he didn't meddle with such matters.

It was as though he was the only person in the royal family. He was all alone.

When the smuggling of firearms was first exposed, he was startled and livid. However, he thought it wasn't bad after all. It made his life more exciting and entertaining.

Nevertheless, he still grew weary in the end. He held power, but he would still feel lonely. He simply wished for nothing bad to happen to the capital.

…

When Han Mubai returned to the Han family, he didn't talk about his issue with Yuan Shuangrui. His engagement with her involved two large families, so he had to come up with a good solution to this issue.

If it wasn't settled properly, the two families could easily become enemies.

Han Mubai rested against a chair and thought hard regarding the matter. He had to find the perfect solution.

When he had chosen the Yuan family back then, he had been fond of Yuan Shuangrui's personality and her family background.

As an heir, he thought that he ought to be accountable to the Han family. Regardless of love, relationship, and marriage, his family was still his priority.

No matter how farsighted and how much he had considered, he wouldn't have expected that Yuan Shuangrui would be such a cunning woman.

He wasn't repulsed by cunning women, but if she were to pull petty tricks on him, he would be utterly annoyed.

With a calculative and wicked woman beside you all day long, no man would be able to accept it.

While Han Mubai was in deep thought, he had no clue that everyone online was talking about him and Yuan Shuangrui.

It was his assistant who reported everything to him immediately.

"Young Master Han, photos of Miss Yuan leaving the hotel are being circulated all over the internet. Also, posts about the two of you are trending on social media now."

"Really?" Han Mubai looked indifferent. He knew that nothing would be able to contain the truth, but he didn't expect the news to spread so quickly."

"Young Master Han, what should we do next?"

Han Mubai contemplated, and a glint flashed across his eyes. "Do you still remember what Lu Suyan said? The Yuan family is involved in the smuggling of firearms."

"Yes. Do you mean to let this issue escalate and investigate the Yuan family?"

"No, let Lu Suyan show up and emphasize that. The Yuan family would surely get investigated."

"What if the Yuan family didn't actually smuggle the firearms?"

Han Mubai chuckled. "You've been by my side for so long. Have you lost your senses? Do you think the noble families would allow themselves to get investigated?"

Wuzheng finally realized what Young Master Han had meant. "Young Master is the best. The Yuan family would definitely have something that they want to hide. There will surely be something that would be revealed. During that time, you can ride on the issue and settle the marriage alliance with the Yuan family."

"Yes, go and do your job!"

"Yes!"

…

Ever since An Yexuan found 'Chu Fei'er," he had been trying to make her happy all day long, reminiscing their university days.

Xie Shiliu thought that it was pretty boring to act as Chu Fei'er. She had to pretend to be dumb as she stayed by his side.

She felt even more irked when An Yexuan talked about their university times.
