As Kong Rui ate, she kept thinking about the gaze she couldn’t ignore just now.

Who the hell was it?

As Kong Rui was pondering, she heard a commotion in the restaurant.

Nie Yin frowned and looked in the direction of the door.

Before Nie Yin could call out, the waiter had already pushed open the door and walked in.

He put on an apologetic smile. “Esteemed guests, I’m really sorry. Two female customers just came to our restaurant, and now…”

The waiter sighed as he spoke.

Nie Yin looked over the waiter’s shoulder and saw that the entrance was filled with people, blocking his vision.

Lei Peng stood up and walked to the door to look out. After a long time, he turned around with a smile on his face. “Guess what? Someone’s harassing a man in broad daylight!”

Upon hearing Lei Peng’s words, Fu Jiao was filled with disdain. “What are you talking about?! Why aren’t you ever serious?!”

Fu Jiao despised Lei Peng’s flippant personality the most. In front of Nie Yin and Li Ling, Fu Jiao felt deeply embarrassed!

Lei Peng didn’t notice Fu Jiao’s annoyance and only smiled. “There’s a woman pestering a man outside. The people in the imperial capital are really simple folks…”

Kong Rui could hear the mockery in Lei Peng’s voice, but she didn’t mind.

With such a queen and princess, what kind of future could the empire have?

The door to the private room was wide open, and the noise outside reached their ears.

Kong Rui felt goosebumps when she heard the woman’s coquettish laughter.

Nie Yin stiffened when he heard the woman’s voice.

Kong Rui acutely sensed Nie Yin’s abnormality, but she didn’t take the initiative to ask.

Lei Peng also seemed to have noticed it, and a hint of joy flashed in his eyes.

He walked towards Nie Yin and placed a hand on his shoulder.

Kong Rui clearly felt Nie Yin’s body tremble, as if his soul had just left his body and returned to his body after being pressed down by Lei Peng.

Nie Yin’s expression returned to its usual coldness as he looked at Lei Peng.

Lei Peng didn’t seem to notice Nie Yin’s change in mood. He only smiled and said, “I think I’ve seen the woman outside before! And, she was… with you!” Lei Peng laughed louder and louder.

With Nie Yin?

Could it be Wen Qiong?

Kong Rui’s sharp senses were activated, but she didn’t seem to sense Wen Qiong’s aura.

Nie Yin’s expression became a little terrifying, and his expression looked resentful.

Kong Rui couldn’t tell the reason for this. She thought that Nie Yin was just ashamed to discover that his companion was causing trouble here.

Lei Peng tapped Nie Yin’s shoulder a few times before saying, “Let’s go and take a look! It’ll probably be fascinating!”

After hearing Lei Peng’s words, Fu Jiao, who was originally bored, became interested.

She stood up and walked towards the crowd. She pushed aside the few people in front of her before looking towards the center of the commotion.

A man and a woman were standing there. They were Chao Bai and Zi Xuan!

Chao Bai was expressionless, but Zi Xuan’s eyes were filled with joy.

She felt that the heavens had given her a chance!

She had thought that after this man suddenly disappeared, she would never be able to find him again! Unexpectedly, on the busy street just now, she actually saw him climbing the stairs.

Zi Xuan had long forgotten how Chao Bai mistreated her previously. Her eyes were only filled with this man’s unique charm.

She didn’t know why she was attracted to him. He wasn’t drop-dead gorgeous!

Especially compared to the man a few days ago…

Thinking of the man she had met previously, Zi Xuan smiled.

Ever since Fu Jiao appeared in the crowd, the surrounding people realized that the guests in the private room were actually from the five great clans, so they all made way. Lei Peng also had the opportunity to pull Nie Yin towards Fu Jiao.

Nie Yin’s expression turned cold as Lei Peng pulled him up.

Just as he was pulled towards the crowd by Lei Peng, an iron fan suddenly appeared in his hand and tapped Lei Peng’s shoulder.

Lei Peng let out a cry and let go of Nie Yin’s arm.
