C7 Call Me Again!

Lu Yuanxi cleared her throat and whispered, “Indifferent?”

Leng Manxiu paused and turned around to look at Lu Yuanxi.

“Call him again.”

“…”

Lu Yuanxi complained in her heart!

I told you to try! I told you to try! Try! Try and piss him off!

“Your Highness, if you don’t want to hear it, this subject…”

“Call him again.”

Although Leng Manxiu’s tone was calm, his attitude was firm.

Lu Yuanxi hesitated for a moment but still called out, “Indifferent.”

She thought Leng Manxiu would be angry, but he nodded and said with a good mood, “Yes.”

Yes?

Lu Yuanxi’s mouth twitched.

If he didn’t misunderstand, Leng Manxiu’s “yes” meant that he would call him that.

Leng Manxiu was in a good mood, but his expression was still calm. Apart from his quick pace, there was nothing different.

In the study room, the prince and the accompanying readers were already seated. Only the two seats in the first row were empty.

The prince hadn’t come yet, and the study room was noisy. The moment Lu Yuanxi stepped into the study room, the noisy study room suddenly quieted down.

Under everyone’s gaze, Lu Yuanxi and Leng Manxiu sat in the two remaining empty seats.

The moment Lu Yuanxi sat down, she felt someone tapping on his shoulder.

Lu Yuanxi turned around and saw two boys who were around his age and were smiling at him.

"May I ask if you have something to say to me?" Lu Yuanxi asked.

"You are the little Marquis of the Northern Marquis Estate, Lu Yuanxi?"

The hunchbacked young man looked at Lu Yuanxi curiously and asked.

Lu Yuanxi nodded. "I am Lu Bi, and I am called Yuan."

The hunchbacked young man cupped his fists and introduced himself. "I am Dan Chi, and I am called Lang Yuan!"

Lu Yuanxi nodded. "I've heard a lot about you."

Dan Chi was the second son of the prime minister. He grew up with the young master of the High Duke's Public House, Shu Chenhuan. He was Shu Chenhuan's study boy when he was young.

Lu Yuanxi turned to the young man sitting next to Dan Chi. "This must be the young master, right?"

Shu Chenhuan was smiling too. He nodded. "That's right. I am Shu Yan, and I am Chenhuan."

"I've heard a lot about you."

Lu Yuanxi said politely and turned around.

Shu Chenhuan and Dan Chi were the foppish sons of the aristocratic families. They were troublesome to the High Duke and the prime minister, but they were helpless.

Lu Yuanxi pursed her lips.

Maybe he could try to make friends with these two people…

Shu Chenhuan and Dan Chi looked at each other. Dan Chi was about to poke Lu Yuanxi, but he received a warning look from Leng Manyu.

Dan Chi retracted his hand and didn't dare to do anything else.

"What's wrong?"

Shu Chenhuan asked.

Dan Chi pouted at Leng Manyu and whispered, "The Crown Prince glared at me."

Shu Chenhuan looked over with suspicion and found Leng Manxiang was looking straight ahead.

“Are you seeing things?” Shu Chenhuan asked.

Dan Lian shook his head. “Impossible! With his eyes, he wants to cut my hand off!”

There was only one person sitting on each table in the first row, so although Lu Yuanxi and Leng Manxiang were sitting in the first row, the distance between them wasn’t too far or too close.

Shu Chenhuan and Dan Lian were sitting in the backseat of Lu Yuanxi.
