Chapter 651 - 298: The Emperor's Reluctance Toward the Harem's Rivalry for Favor



Zhou Yuwen replied to Li Shiqi's message and then switched out to respond to others. At first, he didn't pay attention, but then it dawned on him that he might have hurt this young girl's pride. He thought about offering, "Otherwise, how about I take you home during the winter break?"

At that moment, Jiang Xinyi sent a message to Zhou Yuwen.

Zhou Yuwen was only attentive to chatting with Jiang Xinyi, so he forgot to reply to Li Shiqi.

In reality, there wasn't much to talk about with Jiang Xinyi. Jiang Xinyi was a girl with youthful sentiments. She lived a bland life until she turned 24, thinking life was always boring, until Zhou Yuwen showed up and made her feel the fun in life.

Naturally, she clung to Zhou Yuwen, wanting to chat about everything.

Like how she browsed the school forum a moment ago, found a few nice photos taken by netizens, and sent them to Zhou Yuwen, asking what he thought of the photos.

Zhou Yuwen said they were just okay, not even a tenth as handsome as him.

"Ugh, all you ever do is admire yourself!"

Although she said that, she felt inexplicably happy while chatting with Zhou Yuwen.

Especially after knowing Zhou Yuwen had broken up, she felt less restrained, talked about everything, and was more concerned about how she appeared in Zhou Yuwen's heart. She would proactively share things about herself, such as fun stories from learning the piano as a child, and what kind of girl she was.

But Zhou Yuwen's replies were always lukewarm, seemingly taking five to ten minutes to respond to a single message.

Jiang Xinyi was tossing and turning on her bed.

She couldn't help asking, "Zhou Yuwen, what are you doing? Why are you taking so long to reply?"

Zhou Yuwen sent her a photo to show he had just gotten out of a taxi.

"I don't have a private car to pick me up, I have to trudge my way back."

Seeing Zhou Yuwen say that, Jiang Xinyi pouted a little and said, "Who told you to be so stubborn."

"My mom wanted to send you, but you wouldn't even agree."

Zhou Yuwen sent Jiang Xinyi a smile.

Indeed, walking slowed down the speed of replying to messages, but the main reason was that Zhou Yuwen was chatting with more than one girl.

Zhou Yuwen, while entering his building, replied to Qu Jing, saying he was quite busy tonight and wouldn't be visiting her place.

Although there was nothing wrong with that, Qu Jing felt a sense of disappointment upon learning Zhou Yuwen wouldn't come and tried to convince him to favor her.

But Zhou Yuwen said, "Little pet, don't be so greedy, I've already pampered you for a month. (Pat on the head)"

Qu Jing: "(Feeling wronged) (Feeling wronged)"

After entering the building, the property butler Huang Xiaoyuan was still in her usual attire, a neat grey work dress. Seeing Zhou Yuwen return, she hurried out and greeted him as Mr. Zhou.

"It's been a while since I've seen you." In the building where the heating was on, a grey dress with flesh-colored stockings and high heels were the standard outfit for a property butler.

Zhou Yuwen nodded slightly and said, "I've been quite busy recently."

"Did you go to Hucheng for an interview?"

Huang Xiaoyuan provided Zhou Yuwen special service, following him to the elevator and helping him press the button.

Hearing this, Zhou Yuwen looked up and smiled at Huang Xiaoyuan, saying, "You saw it?"

Huang Xiaoyuan smiled lightly, tidied her stray hair behind her ears, and said, "I saw your news."

"Um."

At this moment, the elevator arrived, Huang Xiaoyuan reached out her hand to hold the door for Zhou Yuwen to enter, then helped press the button for him.

She watched as the elevator doors closed.

Clearly, after learning about Zhou Yuwen's monthly income, Huang Xiaoyuan slightly improved her attitude towards him, but unfortunately, she was just a property butler, while Zhou Yuwen was the homeowner.

Even if she had other ideas, Zhou Yuwen just treated her as an NPC.

Seeing that Zhou Yuwen, from beginning to end, was only looking at his phone and not even bothering to glance up, Huang Xiaoyuan felt somewhat disappointed.

Zhou Yuwen quickly arrived at his own door and unlocked it with his fingerprint.

Fortunately, the apartment was cleaner than he thought it would be after two weeks away. Zhou Yuwen originally thought that Zheng Yanyan, with her slovenly ways, would have made a mess of his place.

The TV in the living room was on, but no lights were turned on. However, the open kitchen was lit.

Caught off guard by Zhou Yuwen's sudden entrance, Lu Lin hadn't had time to react.

It was the end of the semester, and there weren't many classes left. Lu Lin wasn't the type like Zheng Yanyan to show off; she stayed inside the flat watching TV and playing games when there was nothing to do.

She didn't go out today and just ordered KFC delivery in the evening, sitting there munching on a chicken leg.

Since she didn't go out, Lu Lin naturally didn't dress up much, wearing a loose black hoodie with a pair of white cotton socks covering her jade legs.

Now in winter, even with the heating on in the room, one's feet could still feel cold, and wearing a pair of cotton socks made perfect sense.

Not to mention, her home attire looked quite good.

Zhou Yuwen glanced at Lu Lin from head to toe - she was in the middle of eating her chicken leg.

The two stared at each other, and Zhou Yuwen asked, "What are you doing here?"

This question stunned Lu Lin. Already a girl who lacked a sense of security, hearing Zhou Yuwen ask this made her say, "Should I leave now then?"

As she spoke, Lu Lin stood up.

Realizing his mistake, Zhou Yuwen quickly went over and hugged Lu Lin around her slim waist, saying, "Oh oh, that's not what I meant."

Zhou Yuwen thus straightforwardly hugged Lu Lin by the waist, tossed her onto the couch, and held her close, nuzzling his nose into her neck and whispering, "Yanyan invited me over today. I figured she'd have sent you away earlier. Didn't expect you to still be here."
