Chapter 151 So that’s it
Xin Moyan patted her chest, seemingly still somewhat shaken.
Xuan Yuan quickly calmed down, glanced at Hua Buyu who was looking at him with a gossipy expression in the corner, and shouted coldly, "Hua Buyu, get over here!"
Hua Buyu immediately skipped over. She originally wanted to chat with Xin Moyan, but when she saw Xin Moyan sneaking into the back garden, she followed her all the way here.
"Yan Yan, tell me honestly, how far have things progressed?" She brought her face close to Xin Moyan's, squinted her eyes, and spoke in a very intriguing tone.
"No...no, let me explain. I just invited him for lemon tea. Don't overthink it." Xin Moyan waved her hands repeatedly, afraid that she would let her wild imagination run wild.
"Did you invite him for your lemon tea? I saw it all, Yan Yan. I never thought that even though I've been so good to you, you were actually dating and going on dates behind my back!"
Hua Buyu shook her head in disappointment, completely ignoring the man's face, which was as black as ink.
"This isn't a date!" Xin Moyan immediately became flustered, blushing as she quickly explained to her.
"Hua Buyu, what business is it of yours how far my relationship with Yan'er has progressed?"
"Young master, isn't it a bit too fast for you to share a cup of milk tea?"
Hua Buyu gave him a disdainful look. She had thought that he had no experience because she had made him blush a few days ago, but seeing this just now, it was clear that he was self-taught!
Xuan Yuan ignored her question, his eyes cold and sharp, like an invisible blade piercing straight at the woman, exuding a strong sense of oppression.
"Hua Buyu, don't you have anything to say to me?"
Hua Buyu realized he was referring to Yun Zhaoyao, so she quickly squatted down in front of him and said ingratiatingly, "Uh...Young Master, if I said it was all a coincidence, would you believe me?"
Xin Moyan looked at this one, then at that one, and asked in confusion, "Buyu, Xuanyuan, what are you talking about?"
"You actually called him Xuan Yuan?" Hua Buyu was surprised again, her mouth agape.
"Why do I feel like you two know each other?"
"Yan Yan, I have something to tell you..."
"Hua Buyu, you don't need to say anything. I will explain it to Yan'er myself. As usual, you go and squat there."
Xuan Yuan casually pointed and told her to practice horse stance under the artificial hill next to him.
"You...you don't give me any face at all?" Hua Buyu almost choked on her breath, pointing at him with a disheartened expression.
"Should we go back to the squatting position?"
Hearing this, Hua Buyu angrily walked to the side and assumed a horse stance, muttering, "Yan Yan, take a good look at how this person treats me!"
"How about I have Fei'e come over and pinch your mouth?"
"..." She quickly covered her mouth and dared not utter another sound.
Xuan Yuan turned around and saw Xin Moyan looking blank. He then said softly, "Yan'er, didn't you ask me that question last night? Even if Hua Buyu hadn't come over, I was still planning to explain it to you."
"What does it mean?"
He glanced at Hua Buyu, who was full of resentment, out of the corner of his eye, and then patiently explained, "I do know Hua Buyu, and her trip to Yuanqi was at my behest."
"Then why did you pretend you weren't familiar with each other before?"
“Yan’er, I have businesses in all four kingdoms. Due to my status in the Yuanqi royal family, I can’t show up in person. I’ve entrusted most of my businesses to Hua Buyu, who is my subordinate.”
"What did you say?"
At this moment, Hua Buyu's voice drifted over from the side, "Yan Yan, didn't I tell you before that I have a boss? Look! This is the man in front of you, he is my behind-the-scenes boss."
After some explanation, she finally understood that Buyu hadn't sneaked away that day, but had followed Liuqing and entered the capital openly as a Yuan Qiren. The person who saved Buyu back then was Xuan Yuan, and she had been working for Xuan Yuan all these years.
"Silent, why didn't you tell me before?"
"Not yet..."
The loud shouts that had been going off suddenly stopped when they caught sight of someone's enigmatic gaze. They muttered under their breath, "It's all because of this guy next to you. He's always forbade me from associating with you. Besides, he's Prince Yuanqi, so of course he can't just reveal his identity as the richest man in the four kingdoms."
"The richest man?"
"Yan'er, now you should believe that Junjing Pavilion and Xixiang Pavilion are mine!"
Xin Moyan turned to look at Hua Buyu, "Buyu, so you're saying that the Anxin Cloth was actually designed by you?"
She nodded eagerly, her face beaming with pride.
"Xuanyuan, since Buyu is doing things for you, why did you say those things to me?"
Someone silently moved the lemon tea in front of her and calmly said, "Yan'er, Hua Buyu is frivolous and dissolute, and is not suitable to be your friend. What I said is true. You can ask her here."
"Wait! You actually spoke ill of me to Yan Yan! You even said I was frivolous and promiscuous. How am I frivolous? How am I promiscuous?"
Hua Buyu could no longer hold back. She rushed up to the two of them in a fit of rage and loudly questioned him.
"What accusation have I made against you?"
"You... I'm just a bit lively and optimistic, why do you have to make me sound so terrible!" Clearly embarrassed and angry, she plopped down next to Xin Moyan, took the lemon tea, and slurped it down in a muffled voice.
"Did I wrong you about what happened on the Mid-Autumn Festival two years ago?"
"Pfft~cough cough cough~"
"You...you even told Yan Yan about this?"
“What’s wrong with letting Yan’er know your true colors so she won’t be deceived by you?” Xuan Yuan said calmly. Seeing that Hua Buyu had drunk the lemon tea, he handed the cup in his hand to Xin Moyan.
Hua Buyu's face turned pale and then red in an instant. She turned to look at Xin Moyan, only to see that Xin Moyan's eyes also showed a slight hesitation.
"Silent, is what Xuan Yuan said true? You really were with those women..."
Xin Moyan stopped mid-sentence, pursing her lips. She supported Bu Yu's choice, but she couldn't accept too many people. Any relationship should be loyal and unwavering, not too chaotic.
"What do you mean 'those women'? I only ever had that one and only time, and it was only one woman, okay? If it weren't for the fact that I suddenly got carried away that night, and that woman was really quite lovable, I..."
"Flowers don't speak, so you're not allowed to speak recklessly!"
Hua Buyu gave Xuan Yuan a strange look. "Yan Yan, what did you mean by 'those women' just now?"
The person sensed something was wrong and covered their mouth with their hand, coughing lightly.
"Xuan Yuan said that you were with several women that time, and he didn't say anything. Although I support you liking girls, I hope you can seriously find a girlfriend and not have too many people. I think that's not a good thing."
What the heck?!
"You dare slander me like this, Xuan Yuan? When did I ever engage in group sex?"
"Sigh! At that time, I just wanted Yan'er to have a bad impression of you and break off our friendship."
