BXBX NOVEL Chapter 267 - Refuse
Bai Zhi thought of the novels and TV dramas she had seen before. The emperor’s son made a great contribution if he was favored by the emperor, shouldn’t he be the crown prince by now? His mother was also now sitting on the throne as the empress, it’s only natural to entitle him as the crown prince, right? So how come he is only a prince?
“If Xiao Wang is as good as you said, why he hasn’t been entitled as the crown prince?” Bai Zhi asked.
When Bai Zhi asked this question, even the calm Hu Feng’s facial expression changed. This little girl’s courage was really big. She always says what she wanted to say.
Although Hu Feng was shocked, his eyes were still fixed on Meng Nan. He was waiting for him to answer.
Meng Nan was also shocked. He didn’t expect that Bai Zhi will ask such a question.
As the son from the Meng family, he naturally knows the reasons, but these reasons are not something could be said in a whim.
Seeing Meng Nan in a dilemma, Bai Zhi busily said: “You don’t have to answer, I’m just curious so I ask. If you felt in trouble, I’m sorry.”
Meng Nan doesn’t know what to say. His heart became colder and colder.
This may be the gap between him and Bai Zhi. An unbreakable gap. He cannot freely talk to her. There will always be something that he cannot say although she wants to know.
Obviously, Bai Zhi understands this, so she refused to go to the capital with him. She is smart. She knows what kind of life she wants to live. And she can live the way she wants.
But, what about him?
If he took her to the capital, can he protect her?
He does not know!
When Jin Shiwei saw his young master’s appearance, he also felt in trouble. But, he smirked and said: “Zhi’er, please don’t keep it to heart. It’s not that Gongzi wanted to refuse to answer, it’s just it is an imperial family’s affair. We can’t casually talk about it.”
Bai Zhi actually doesn’t mind, she just asked casually. People always had an urge to gossip, but she was not the kind of person who is crazy about to gossip.
“It’s okay, I don’t mind, I shouldn’t have asked. Alright, let’s drink tea.”
She didn’t expect that such a casual remark will make the atmosphere heavy. If she knew, she wouldn’t ask about it. She has no intention to know about imperial family’s affairs.
Hu Feng got up again and went back to the window where he was standing before. He looked at the street and the crowds downstairs.
In today’s banquet, all the chef’s in the restaurant cook all the good dishes they know. Because of that, the round table became full.
Even though Boss Chen was full of enthusiasm, he never saw Meng Nan smile again. He only saw him poured wine on his cup.
Boss Chen pulled Jin Shiwei on the side and asked: “What happened to Meng Daren? He doesn’t look so good.”
Jin Shiwei doesn’t know why his young master became like this. He was still alright before. He will never become like this because Bai Zhi asked such a casual question.
Jin Shiwei shook his head: “I don’t know how he becomes like this. Maybe because he will leave tomorrow, he couldn’t accept it.”Jin Shiwei said with a smile. Recently, his young master has changed a lot. To be more specific, after knowing Bai Zhi, he changed a lot.
