The Rebirth Of A White Robe Man: I'll Follow You This Time

Chapter 158: Shao Cheng Handling Ren Yuan Sudden Appearance In The Shao Family.

"Can you repeat that again?"

"Madams, the Prime Minister son, Ren Yuan, has suddenly arrived stating that the fourth son of the Shao Family, Shao Cai, has stated that you wanted to invite him for tonight dinner. He wanted to apologize for unable to answer real fast at the offered invitation and for coming so late because of certain circumstances."

"Young Master Yuan felt remorseful as the first friend of Young Master Cheng for almost missing the chance to introduce himself to his treasured family after hearing so much about you from him."

Shao Cheng lip twitches after hearing the sensible reason and explanation of why Ren Yuan has just come when its already dinner time, it even contained boastful and flattering words that doesn't feel so loathsome as he continues to hear Ren Yuan smooth words.

I See his silver tongue that can easily speak convincing words with a straight face has once more appeared.

However, Shao Cheng that was receiving the weird and confused expression of his twin Mothers after hearing the full detail of Ren Yuan's reason for arriving so late cause his forehead to throb in pain, after all, he has already told their Mother that the man couldn't come today.

Damn you! Shao Cheng felt an imaginable hand, which he believes as Ren Yuan, has slapped his face raw while sensing the oncoming headache that was about to go on.

"Mothers, don't believe Brother Yuan, he is lying again, wait a bit and I'll go kicked him out right now."

Ren Yuan's explanation is alright and good, however, when he saw the expression of his siblings, he was quite sure that they will tell their Mothers of what truly transpired before and wanted to rip the lying face of Ren Yuan that doesn't know any shame.

So, Shao Cheng has just nodded his head at the bewildered expression of his twin Mothers before quickly rushing away at great speed, never giving enough time for his Mothers and siblings to react when he has already disappeared after everyone else has woke up from their stupor.

"Eh? W-Wait Little Cheng!"

And when Shao Cheng arrives at the visitor hall that they usually meet their sudden guest with really wanted to slap the man's face after seeing the way he is just grinning there while sitting down in a frivolous manner while being served by Mei of all people who are showing her full force of professional side as their female servant.

The female servant is full of grace and elegance, having an appearance of a young lady of a distinguished family while the young man appeared completely unwise and sketchy, the contrast between them is so big that one would want to double-check who really has the making of an aristocrat child in a well-known family just by the atmosphere between the two of them.

"Go home."

Without wasting any more time, Shao Cheng that has arrived didn't wait for Ren Yuan to open his mouth after seeing him entered the room and has directly spoken what he felt about his sudden arrival.

"Escort him out the residence."

"...!"

Mei that has been secretly scrutinizing the person that she heard in the rumors around with growing heavy emotion, especially after seeing such a tempting beauty despite being a man has visible lighten up because not only did she finally receive her Young Master Cheng attention while being spoken with, the order he gave cause her to feel extremely delighted.

"Little Cheng! How can you treat your first friend like this!"

Ren Yuan that has receive the female servant respectful motion of guiding him out of the Shao family residence has shown a shocking and astonished expression, especially when the entire time, he felt so excited about seeing Shao Cheng again after being left alone just like that in the afternoon.

And here Ren Yuan was planning to annoyingly complain to the young man in order to make him feel extremely guilty of what he has done, entirely believing that Shao Cheng will offer him any request he wanted in order to make him feel better.

In which Shao Cheng just gives a pointed look to Ren Yuan who definitely was able to read what he was trying to say before coldly turning around and leaving the visitor hall without another word.

"You are such a bad friend Little Cheng! Now, its Brother Yuan's responsibility to inform and guide you on how to treat your friend properly!"

"...!?"

When Shao Cheng was in the courtyard, he suddenly heard such a worrying word causing him to halt on his footstep and when he turned his head around to glance back, a crimson figure was quickly rushing toward him wearing such determined expression along with a glinting grey pupil that spoke trouble.

Damn it, can you please behave when you are in the Shao family? This is the entire reason why I didn't want you to visit today and meet my family!

Shao Cheng felt a small bumbling annoyance within him that his expression directly turned frigid especially when his sapphire eyes darkened dangerously and Ren Yuan that was about to reach toward him has instantly frozen over after witnessing such a drastic change of expression.

"... um? I'll leave now?"

So, when Su Chunhua and Su Yanmei have finally arrive along with their children, all of them can only stop after witnessing such shocking scenes that their mouth has opened wide from how surprising it was, especially of what they are hearing.

"Ah! Little Cheng, please forgive me! I promise to properly behave tonight! How could I shame you in front of your family that you cherish so much? Don't you believe in me?"

"In the first place, as your special friend, it's your fault for suddenly leaving me just like that! You are so cold and indifferent all the time! I demand you to treat me better!"

"... Please let me down now? I know we just saw each other this afternoon, but it isn't my fault that I miss you so much that I came today despite knowing that you refuse the dinner invitation! I just wanted to desperately see you alright!?"

Ren Yuan that was hanging upside down while tied up in a surprising hard rope on a tree branch continues to run his mouth nonstop without even showing any shy expression after speaking those shameless words out while completely uncaring of being heard off.

As for the reason why he didn't try to get out and release himself from the tight rope, well, when he gazed upon those sapphire eyes that continue to emit frigidness, for some reason he chooses to just remain docile and compliant, after all, his instinct was screaming to behave or else a much more humiliating and embarrassing situation will happen if he continues being a pain in the ass.

Although Ren Yuan can handle all kinds of situations, especially having thicker skin more so than those shameless people out there, but he remembers the time spent with the young man before and those situations in some way always leave him frozen while feeling a rare embarrassment.

"Little Cheng, come on release me now? Please? I promise not to cause you trouble hmm how about in one day?"

"How about I let you wash my naked body when we get to take a bath together? Or I'll wash yours? I promise to be careful when doing it"

"...Or I can wear female clothing and let you see it? I can even act an adorable lover if you want"

Shao Cheng felt his head throb with more pain as Ren Yuan continue to speak words that seemed to turned bizarre and weird as he continues on.

And the most headache-inducing part was that Shao Cheng has forgotten his family when all of his entire attention was focus on dealing with Ren Yuan from causing more trouble than usual, however, it was already far too late when he felt their presence while secretly gazing at them in the distance.

"Behave."

"... Yes."

Shao Cheng who saw the pitiful expression on Ren Yuan face has inwardly sigh before cutting off the rope that was tied on his body, in the first place, it was his fault for making Ren Yuan act normal.

I give up, you can do whatever you want and I'll just ignore it.

"Little Cheng, I know you like me the most!"

And Ren Yuan that was release brighten up before showing a happy expression as he skillfully flips down before landing lightly in the ground with a soft sound and swiftly rushing over to quickly embrace the young man on his arm with a smug look, after all, he didn't get thrown out and could remain for tonight dinner now.

While Shao Cheng has just chosen to remain silent at the man antics since he already gave up resisting along with the idea of letting the man stop being annoying and shameless, at least, it was supposed to be only in front of his family but it was already too late after seeing his family expression in the distance.

However, Shao Cheng still noticed the way that Mei's usual mask on her face has finally cracked down after witnessing their interaction, especially when Ren Yuan grip on his body tighten more while becoming more sticky and clingy.

And Shao Cheng knew that Ren Yuan has also seen the dark fixation and jealousy that has flash on her eyes as she gazes upon them, of course, Mei was always been able to quickly get back her bearing and has stepped closer with some stern guards following behind her with a confused sound that he know is an act.

"Y-Young Master Cheng"

"Hey! Are you blind and deaf? Didn't you see and hear that Little Cheng has allowed me to stay in his home? Oh, maybe you are a lower rank servant the whole time? Is that the reason why you couldn't even comprehend such an easy matter?"

Before Shao Cheng can so much speak a word to dismiss his order, Ren Yuan has suddenly spoken those irritating words which is once more asking for a beating and making the person being spoken with of want to cough up blood and since this time it was being said to a servant then there was nothing that they can do.

And Shao Cheng has just remained indifferent and cold about it, especially when Ren Yuan is targeting Mei of all people, although he felt worried at the consequences of Ren Yuan's actions but he knew that the man can handle himself.

If Ren Yuan lost all people to Mei schemes and plot, Shao Cheng would flip the tables in anger, well, acting more crazier than that though.

Also, Shao Cheng doesn't see anything wrong at the treatment, after all, this is the world of the strong, people who got power, status, and influence have more freedom and right.

Besides, he wouldn't suddenly become a person that spoke about everyone in equal standing.

It was such a foolish move, notions and actions, since this is a world of an ancient setting, to speak such opinion, was just asking trouble especially when the entire Royal family can interpret such thought as treason.

"Young Master Cheng"

Suddenly, Shao Cheng saw Mei has displayed an appearance of trying to be strong despite feeling entirely wrong and sad inside, in which he has only shifted his attention at the solemn guards waiting for an order.

As such, Shao Cheng has waved them away before turning around and pulling or basically carrying a clinging Ren Yuan that practically hanging on him as he walked toward his family that has been watching in the distance.

And Mei who was ignored has silently tightly gripped her hands that were hidden on her long wide sleeves while showing a gentle smile on her face before bowing respectfully and turning to handle the guards that she has called out.

However, when she was all alone in the visitor hall, her expression contorted in a twisted way while her eyes were wide open in utter objection and obsession while whispering words that spoke volumes of how she wholeheartedly believes upon it.

"... he is mine"
