Chapter 738: Chapter 738 You Have to Carry Even If You Don’t Want To_1 Chapter 738: Chapter 738 You Have to Carry Even If You Don’t Want To_1 Ye Xingguang took a deep breath, and then another. She felt her beautiful dress was too low-cut, and attempted to pull it up, but after a few tugs, she was still annoyed, and kicked at the table in frustration. “Invitation my ass! Couldn’t he wait until after I was formally engaged to have the audacity to invite me?! My long-anticipated engagement banquet has now been completely ruined by you. Do you realize how important it was for me?”
“Isn’t it just about a male pet?”
A beautiful and seemingly innocent young man blinked, his seemingly pure eyes gazing at Han Chengbei as he approached, “Didn’t I already bring you another male pet, and even delivered him to your couch? Not satisfied with him? I can find you another one.”
“Have you had enough? I’m not in the mood for jokes!” Ye Xingguang was fuming.
“Then let’s get straight to the point.” Geshu Tang adopted the demeanor of a dark and handsome young man, with a teasing smile on his face, “Little Nine, you can’t possibly think that before you marry the heir of the vampire species, you could get engaged to someone else? How are we supposed to explain to the vampires that our queen is already married? Aren’t you being a bit naive?”
Ye Xingguang clenched her fists. “I have never admitted to being any damn queen!”
Geshu Tang threw his hands up in the air. “But you’ve killed everyone else with a right to inheritance, and you’ve won the approval of the Sacred Tree. You’re the only one left who can take over. Otherwise, anyone else who ascends the throne would trigger dissent, leading to a battle for power, a war in fact. The country would be torn apart, and the people will be displaced. I will never allow that to happen, do you understand?”
“I understand nothing. I only know one sentence: what’s it got to do with me?”
“Do you know how many feudal lords want to overthrow the empire, and how many long to become kings themselves? Little Nine, the worst mistake you made was to kill all the royal bloodlines. Therefore, you have to bear this responsibility whether you want to or not. You have no choice!”
Han Chengbei walked over, having caught a few words, “My lord, who is this young man?”
Before Ye Xingguang could answer, Geshu Tang gave a clean and charming smile, sloppily saying: “Like you, he also has a thing for her. If I were the third man in her life, then you would be the fourth.”
Han Chengbei looked down at Ye Xingguang, seeking an explanation. When did he ever have a fling with her? Of course, Han Chengbei was very much willing to have one with her. Then together, they could start a business selling potions of regret, a profitable trade indeed.
Ye Xingguang suppressed her anger: “Don’t mind him. He is just bullshitting.”
Han Chengbei had his own understanding: “So, this boy, who looks like he’s barely outgrown his baby fuzz, is Ye Junqing’s love rival. Jealous that you were about to get engaged to Ye Junqing, he kidnapped you? I kid. I had the same thought, but I just never put it into action.”
“Han Chengbei, shut up!” Tang Zhou couldn’t take it anymore and pulled Ye Xingguang behind him protectively, and then glared at Geshu Tang disdainfully: “Look at yourself! You think you’re good enough to be my Brother Qing’s rival?”
Ye Xingguang didn’t want the two involved: “You two go eat some food.”
At this moment, someone approached Geshu Tang: “Third elder, there are submarines pursuing us, and it’s not just one.”
Ye Xingguang’s eyes lit up instantly; she knew that her regular headache at home wouldn’t just stand by and let her get kidnapped by Geshu Tang without a fuss.
