Ah Man didn't answer Murong Kai's question in the end, and Murong Kai didn't ask any further questions, which made Ah Man breathe a sigh of relief.
Because the answer deep in my heart cannot be explained, but there is no other reason.
Murong Kai was not in a hurry to leave. He had come here with great difficulty just to spend some quiet time with Ah Man, so he naturally didn't want to leave easily, so the two of them chatted for a long time.
A'man was not opposed to Murong Kai's existence. Although he acted in a very conventional way, he was very interesting and his views on some things often coincided with A'man's.
While the two were chatting and laughing, Su Jinxiu suddenly appeared in the back garden. After calling A Manhan "sister" affectionately, she looked at Murong Kai shyly.
Ah Man looked at Murong Kai with a smile, her eyes full of pride.
Murong Kai glanced at Su Jinxiu's face, which was covered with red hatred. Even though she covered it with a veil, the red was still faintly visible. It looked weird and scary at a glance.
"Third Prince, please have lunch here before leaving." After the two of them finished exchanging greetings, Su Jinxiu said anxiously.
Murong Kai was a little surprised. She looked at Ah Man with a puzzled look on her face.
I came here to look for Ah Man. Su Jinxiu is just an outsider. How could she be Ah Man's boss? Moreover, everyone knows that Ah Man is the treasure of Emperor Bei'an. Everyone in this embassy must obey Ah Man's orders. How could Su Jinxiu...
Ah Man said with a smile: "Then the Third Prince can have lunch here. The cooking methods of our Bei'an chefs are somewhat different from those of the Great Zhou."
"Obedience is worse than respect." Murong Kai was naturally willing to do so. After he finished speaking, he continued to look at Ah Man, with affection in his eyes, all of which fell into Su Jinxiu's eyes.
"Third Prince, our A'man is the apple of our father's eye. Not everyone can marry her." Su Jinxiu's words were nonsense and full of jealousy.
Ah Man and Murong Kai couldn't help but look at Su Jinxiu. Su Jinxiu then realized that what she said was a bit... She explained awkwardly: "I was just talking casually, I..."
"Sister, are you really eager to get married? The Third Prince just said that the Emperor of Great Zhou is in a bad mood, so he has not set a date for your wedding with Master Dong. Master Dong will soon arrive in the capital. When he arrives in the capital, I will ask Master Qu to go find the Emperor of Great Zhou."
Ah Man's words made Su Jinxiu's face change again and again, but fortunately, the veil covered her face, so no one could see the resentment she was trying hard to hide.
"Sister, I have suffered a lot of grievances since I was a child. I will not compete with you for anything. Everything I do is for your own good. You have to believe me, I..." Su Jinxiu explained softly, tears already overflowing from the corners of her eyes.
Ah Man watched her perform with a smile, feeling quite happy.
Ah Man knew clearly what Su Jinxiu's purpose was. She just wanted to take advantage of her to leave an impression of being weak and helpless in front of Murong Kai, and then take advantage of Murong Kai's sympathy to get the benefits she wanted.
"Third Prince, I just... I really didn't mean anything else. You have to believe me."
Because her target was Murong Kai, Su Jinxiu didn't even have the energy to care about Ah Man's attitude. She just stared at Murong Kai. When she saw Murong Kai looking at Ah Man with a smile, she spoke nervously. But this explanation...
"Jinxiu, go and do your work. Princess Jiaoyang and I have something to say." Seeing Ah Man's mischievous smile, Murong Kai felt a little annoyed. He was too lazy to put on an act with Su Jinxiu. After he finished speaking, he leaned close to Ah Man's ear and spoke. The two of them talked in tiny voices, laughing or making noises, completely forgetting about Su Jinxiu.
Su Jinxiu was so embarrassed that she endured it again and again, but finally left with tears in her eyes.
On the way back, she gritted her teeth and said to herself over and over again: "Ah Man, don't think that he is yours just because you have a good relationship. He can only be mine."
