The King's Enchanting

"Me? I’m just having fun." Over there, Mo Siyu’s voice comes through with his usual flippant tone, "Speaking of which, you’re back in the country, right? Want to come out for a drink?" 𝚏𝕣𝐞𝗲𝐰𝕖𝐛𝐧𝕠𝕧𝚎𝚕.𝐜𝚘𝗺

"What the hell are you up to?" Yu Zexiao almost curses at him, just about to ask him about Zhao Ziyin, when on the other end, a woman’s sweet, teasing voice quickly comes through: "Darling, what are you doing?"

Afterward, there’s a sound that feels a lot like kissing, Yu Zexiao’s face darkens, just about to inquire, when Mo Siyu’s voice, now a bit distant, says, "Aren’t you coming? Relax, I won’t tell the little assistant."

Yu Zexiao’s face is almost completely dark. After all this time, that bastard Mo Siyu is having fun again in the nightlife like before?

Didn’t he swear he only wanted Zhao Ziyin before? After a while, he can’t help it and goes back to his old ways?

"Hey, what exactly are you doing?" Yu Zexiao’s voice rises, clearly not happy.

On the other end, Mo Siyu and that woman’s murmuring still comes intermittently, and after a while, he mumbles, "What’s wrong? Isn’t this what you all initially planned? I just think it’s more enjoyable and relaxing this way! Whatever, if you’re not coming, I’ll come over in a few days. I heard your trip to Austria this time was quite exciting~"

"You just keep on playing!" Yu Zexiao hangs up with a slap, a layer of coldness on his face. Jian Anning comes over to ask him, "What’s going on?"

"What could it be? He went off to the nightclub to play." Yu Zexiao’s expression still doesn’t look good, though he wouldn’t be foolish enough to tell Jian Anning that Mo Siyu also invited him to join.

Sure enough, Jian Anning also frowns and then sneers: "I knew it, Mo Siyu couldn’t restrain himself. There’s no way he could just settle with one woman. Luckily, Ziyin didn’t agree to be with him, otherwise, how long would it have been? And he couldn’t hold back?"

Yu Zexiao says nothing. Originally, although he didn’t like his friend’s fondness for flirting around, he didn’t resent it either. But the problem is that this guy had stated he would be devoted, and there was determination, but in the blink of an eye, he went back to his old habits.

However, neither of them thought about one issue—

If Zhao Ziyin is bothered by Mo Siyu’s current "flirtation," doesn’t it mean that she’s a bit fond of him?

Is that really the case?

-------------------

And the next day, when the two best friends met, they started talking about this issue.

"Anning, I’m so glad you’re okay. You don’t even know, when this news reached back home, I was so worried I could die! What on earth happened? Did Cheng Tingting and Cheng Wanli really go so far as to hire someone to kidnap you? And in the end, did Situ Xuan save you by taking a bullet? My goodness, where was Yu Zexiao? That bastard, why wasn’t it him blocking the bullet for you?"

As soon as Zhao Ziyin meets, she doesn’t even put her bag down before rattling off a pile of words, leaving Jian Anning a bit dizzy. Wasn’t the purpose of coming out today not to discuss her own issues? Weren’t they supposed to talk about Zhao Ziyin and Mo Siyu’s matters?
