Chapter 611: Amidst the thrilling moments, a tacit understanding finally broke the ice.
Fortunately, the ringing finally subsided. This short interval felt as long as an eternity to Xuan Moyuan.
Only when the bell finally stopped ringing did he breathe a sigh of relief and exhale a long breath that he had been holding for so long.
He immediately stood up and hastily said to Prince Xuan and Wanling:
"I have urgent matters to attend to, so I will be returning now. You all..."
The two had eaten to their hearts' content and got up to follow Xuan Moyuan back to the hotel.
Although he thoroughly enjoyed the authentic hot pot meal, Xuan Moyuan's thoughts had already drifted far away.
He was frantically devising a solution in his mind, his only thought being to get back to the hotel as quickly as possible and call for Vice Minister Wang to come and save the day...
Before he had taken more than a few steps, Miss Bai sent another message, saying that she had accidentally pressed the call button and that he shouldn't take it to heart.
However, just as Xuan Moyuan's heart was about to settle down, he received a new message that made his heart race.
"[Boss Bai]: Could you please help me send a message to the Emperor via Feixin, Lord Wang? I have some private matters to discuss with the Emperor. Thank you~"
Xuan Moyuan sighed and rubbed his forehead: This is truly a case of reaping what you sow; we're completely finished...
Just as he was feeling extremely anxious and restless, a small head suddenly peeked out from the side.
It turned out to be Xuan Wanling, who had just boarded the ship returning from Hotpot Island. Because her seats were close together, she immediately caught a glimpse of the familiar profile picture on her brother's phone screen. Curious, she leaned closer to take a look.
"Oh, it's my Sister Bai! My brother actually has contact with Sister Bai too?"
Xuan Wanling was briefly excited, then nodded to herself, already understanding a bit of what was going on.
"Oh right, I almost forgot! I was talking to Sister Bai this afternoon before I came to see my brother!"
Perhaps it was because I casually mentioned the Emperor's arrival that Sister Bai was looking for him...
At first, Xuan Moyuan didn't pay much attention to Xuan Wanling's chattering.
Upon hearing what followed, he immediately looked up sharply, staring at his sister in shock, a look of tension instantly appearing in his eyes.
As if he had thought of something, he opened his mouth several times, wanting to confirm with Wanling.
"How long did that phone call you mentioned last?"
"Hmm... I remember it was after I told Sister Bai that Your Majesty had arrived, that Sister Bai called me on my way to see Your Majesty..."
Although she didn't understand why her elder brother was asking this, Xuan Wanling obediently continued speaking while recalling the events:
"Yes, that's right~ And then Sister Bai chatted with me the whole way, and she was so considerate. She only hung up the phone after I was busy seeing my brother!"
However, the more Xuan Moyuan listened, the more an ominous premonition arose in his heart, and this premonition grew stronger and stronger, as if an invisible force was constantly confirming it...
He was still shaken, and lowered his voice to speak slowly, "Wanling, show me that call log..."
Sure enough, at the very bottom of the chat window, a line of small text was clearly displayed that read, "Video call has ended"...
Oh no, the sky is falling.
The moment Xuan Moyuan saw the words "video call," his pupils dilated in shock.
Wanling may not know much about "video calls", but having already thoroughly mastered the functions of Fetion, he saw through the trick at a glance.
Miss Bai, could it be...?
She had long suspected that the person she was chatting with was not Wang Fantong, but someone else!
But how exactly did she come to suspect me?
The tension of having his identity exposed instantly overwhelmed Xuan Moyuan like a tidal wave.
Upon arriving at the hotel, he immediately summoned Wang Fantong, intending to get to the bottom of things in person.
Wang Fantong stood alone before him, his expression excited, vividly recounting how he had been invited by Miss Bai that afternoon to enjoy a sumptuous afternoon tea…
Xuan Moyuan didn't care about any of this. However, when he heard Wang Fantong continue to talk about how he had finally managed to add Miss Bai's message, his anxiety finally died.
This was the first time he had been so easily seen through, yet he was completely unaware of it, and the one who saw through him was none other than the girl he admired…
This feeling weighed heavily on Xuan Moyuan's heart, and then he looked at Wang Fantong, who was still excited and talking eloquently...
He had only one thought in his mind: Why is it so difficult for people to share their joys and sorrows?
However, since things have come to this point, we can only accept it and face it with equanimity.
While Wang Fantong was filled with doubt, unable to understand why he was summoned and dismissed at will, Xuan Moyuan pondered alone in his room for a while before deciding to tell the truth about everything...
After a moment of deep thought, Xuan Moyuan, who was alone in the top-tier VIP room, finally took a deep breath, slowly picked up the phone that felt as heavy as a thousand pounds, and gently tapped the Fetion avatar that he had pinned to the top.
He spent a long time mentally rehearsing his words before finally revising and editing them into a message.
After lightly tapping "send" with his index finger, he became restless.
As a result, almost at the same moment the message was sent, the phone rang twice in succession.
Startled, he quickly picked up his phone again. "No way, did Miss Bai reply instantly?"
In the chat box, below the message he had just sent, two more messages appeared immediately: one text and one emoji, both sent at roughly the same time.
[Xuan Moyuan]: I was afraid of disturbing you, so I took the liberty of adding you on Feixin under a pseudonym. I hope you will forgive me.
Let me reintroduce myself. My surname is Xuan and my given name is Mo Yuan. I was originally appointed to temporarily assume the throne because my father was ill. However, once I took office, I could no longer refuse to step down, and so the position has continued to this day...
Today, Anshun Kingdom has undergone many changes under the protection of the maiden, and the people live in peace and prosperity. This is truly thanks to the blessing of the maiden's [fairyland]. On behalf of all the people of the world, I would like to express my sincere gratitude to the maiden.
[Boss Bai]: Hehe, actually I already know your real identity, so I won't beat around the bush!
Well, if it's the Emperor, just say so. I happen to have something I need to discuss with him...
[Boss Bai is here]: (Those bright, sparkly eyes have seen through too much.jpg)
The two people, who were both in the same [Fairyland], were caught off guard and stunned the moment they saw the message.
They were both astonished by their perfect understanding, exclaiming inwardly, "Wow!" At the same time, they couldn't help but blush with embarrassment.
Now, in order to become a familiar face, Xuan Moyuan, who had changed his Fetion name early on with great cunning, was immediately thrilled after reading the other party's synchronized message, which seemed to be telepathically connected.
At this moment, he was completely devoid of his former imperial majesty. He simply covered his slightly flushed cheeks with his hands and leaned back in the recliner.
"What perfect understanding! I never expected that Miss Bai would be so considerate as to give me a way out, even knowing it was me. Oh dear..."
However, he couldn't afford to indulge in daydreams any longer.
After carefully reviewing her message again, Xuan Moyuan decisively replied with only a single "squeak".
He then asked Ms. Bai with great enthusiasm what she wanted to discuss with him, and asked her to tell him frankly.
In this way, they used this little joke as a way to break the ice, and also wanted to quickly put the embarrassing incident of their identity being discovered by the other party to be over.
Meanwhile, inside the villa, a completely different, ambiguous scene was unfolding...
