Chapter 426: Chapter 273, He’s Not Worthy!

Everyone present looked curiously at Tang Fei, who had just been asked about his relationship with the Princess but had not given a direct answer.

Now, could there be a definitive answer?

If Tang Fei and the Princess were indeed a couple, they would confirm a long-suspected hot mystery, satisfying the gossip-monger flames burning within them.

If not, then did they also have a chance?

They were of similar ages, their looks weren’t bad, and they dressed and socialized better than Lu Siyu...

Tang Fei understood that Gongshu Wuyu’s question was loaded with danger, and responded with a chuckle, "What is my relationship with the Princess... Why not ask the Princess herself and take her answer as the truth?"

When you face difficulties in life, try to toss them to someone else.

He knew Gongshu Wuyu wouldn’t dare ask Phoenix, and even if he did, Phoenix wouldn’t answer.

Who are you? What right do you have to meddle in my affairs?

If Gongshu Wuyu did ask, it would only bring disgrace upon himself.

"You haven’t admitted it, does that mean you two are not in a relationship? Are all those rumors false?" Gongshu Wuyu tried to pressure Tang Fei into giving a definitive answer, yes or no.

"Maybe, I just wanted you to help bring two breakfasts?" said Tang Fei.

Gongshu Wuyu frown deepened, understanding Tang Fei’s mockery, implying he was a sycophant, a term he was not unfamiliar with from his youth.

"What, afraid to confront your own inner feelings? Afraid to admit whether or not you like a woman? Might that be disrespectful to her?"

"If that’s the case, then I’ll have to lower my opinion of you. This isn’t quite what I had expected..." said Gongshu Wuyu.

"Pfft..."

Tang Fei could hardly contain his laughter.

"What? You think what I’m saying is funny?" Gongshu Wuyu asked, noticing Tang Fei’s expression.

"What you say is indeed funny, but not as funny as you are," Tang Fei replied with a radiant smile, then asked Gongshu Wuyu, "Are you the ruler of a country?"

"You... That’s a crime of grave disrespect."

"Relax, I was just asking casually," Tang Fei said with a wave of his hand. "What if you actually thought so?"

"..."

"Then, are you the leader of an authoritative institution? Or can you represent the majority of the nation?"

"..."

"Since you are neither..." Tang Fei’s smile slowly faded, speaking deliberately, "does your opinion really matter?"

"..."

"You know, I grew up in Old Land. Our village had an idiot named Dog Egg, who often used to say ’I don’t want to play with you’... but what he didn’t realize was that nobody really liked playing with him."

"Every time we heard him say that, we were so happy inside... Being rejected by someone you don’t like is a double joy."

"..."

Gongshu Wuyu’s gaze grew icy.

This guy was extremely articulate and sharp-tongued, capable of saying anything shameless, with each sentence skillfully thrown as dirt on you.

Trying to outwit him in a war of words was foolish.

No matter, there would be other days.

Gongshu Wuyu shrugged nonchalantly, conceding defeat, "I can’t out-talk you... Today is Si Yu’s birthday. Let’s stop here. Disturbing the Little Princess’s mood would be a great sin."

His gesture won the favorable impressions of many; not barbaric, not persistent, broad-minded.

And importantly, he seemed to care about the feelings of others, not wanting their dispute to sour Lu Siyu, the little birthday girl’s mood.

Indeed, he seemed like a considerate and warm man.

Except to Lu Siyu herself.

She had always regarded Tang Fei as her own younger brother, and Gongshu Wuyu’s bullying of her brother was already making her uncomfortable.

Had Gongshu Wuyu not called a truce when he did, she would have lashed out.

It went without saying, Gongshu Wuyu’s defense was excellent.

Even Tang Fei felt like applauding him.

Tang Fei was also aware that it was unrealistic to expect to destroy his image in the younger generation of the Lu Family in one go.

This person was extremely smart, knowing how to maintain his relationship with them.

"Alright," Tang Fei nodded, adding, "Otherwise, you’ll have to downgrade my grading again."

"..."

Gongshu Wuyu received a phone call, said his goodbyes to everyone, and then left.

Tang Fei and Lu Siyu went to the buffet to get food, Lu Siyu took two slices of cake on her plate, and asked, "Does he like Zhong Yu Xiu Xue?"

She didn’t use ’Princess’ out of respect, nor the intimate ’Phoenix’, but called her by her name directly.

"Whether he likes her or not is uncertain, but he’s pursuing Xiu Xue," Tang Fei answered.

Some pursue out of affection, others for benefit.

If Gongshu Wuyu truly captured the heart of the beauty, having a Royal Princess behind him would greatly benefit his position in the Lu Family.

When the Lu Family wanted to discard him, they would have to consider the Royal Family’s stance. If they wished to avoid completely severing ties with the Royal Family, the best approach was promoting mutual well-being.

Although the Royal Family didn’t understand design or management, they controlled the approvals and the right to allow sales.
