Chapter 561

Xie Xuanchen and Mu Mingtang both turned their heads. At this moment, Xie Xuanchen had one hand on the table while the other was still pinching Mu Mingtang’s face. Half of his body was slightly leaned over towards Mu Mingtang, whereas her frame also leaned back. When they heard Xie Xuanji’s voice, they turned their heads together in an indescribably synchronized and tacit manner.
This scene was so painful to Xie Xuanji’s eyes. Xie Xuanji had countless concubines in his previous life, but this was the first time he was ‘cheated on’ openly— and it was even his Empress. Xie Xuanji felt that his head was glowing green, but he couldn’t just openly say it(1).
(T/N: A man putting on a green hat refers to the partner of the man being unfaithful and has cheated with someone)
Mu Mingtang was just a little girl in this world and she had never been engaged. Plus, she had no relationship with Xie Xuanji. Even if he and Mu Mingtang knew that the other party was reborn, did he dare to say it?
Xie Xuanji didn’t dare to, so even when Mu Mingtang flirted with his cousin in front of him, he could only seethe in anger but couldn’t say anything.
Obviously, before their reincarnation, Mu Mingtang was extremely cold to him, almost actively pushing him towards other concubines’ palaces. Why did she appear like a different person in this life then?
After seeing Xie Xuanji, Mu Mingtang’s eyes quickly turned cold and she appeared completely different from when she faced Xie Xuanchen just now. Xie Xuanji was pricked again by this discovery. Before he could say anything, he saw Mu Mingtang push Xie Xuanchen hard before she sat up straight and ignored whatever happened behind her.
Xie Xuanji’s expression obviously became gloomy. Xie Xuanchen smiled and returned to his seat— all without greeting the two figures at the door.
As he was pushed on the chest by Mu Mingtang just now, all he could take note of was that her hands were as soft and tender as her face. Even when pushing someone in anger, it almost felt like she was behaving coquettishly.
Jiang Mingwei timidly pulled the corner of Xie Xuanji’s clothes, “Brother Ji?”
Xie Xuanji took a deep breath and told himself that those who achieved great things were not particular about trivial matters. Only then was he barely able to hold back his anger as he brought Jiang Mingwei into the house. When the Jiang family knew that Mu Mingtang was going to study with the two sons of the Xie family, they immediately started planning and forced Jiang Mingwei to come over.
Xie Yi and Madam Yin naturally couldn’t care about these trivial matters. Besides, it was not appropriate for a girl like Mu Mingtang to go to school with a boy alone. With Jiang Mingwei, the number of boys and girls evened out, so it would be much safer.
Although Xie Xuanji held back his anger, his expression was still very unsightly. Jiang Mingwei was frightened by it and didn’t dare to say a word, merely following along to sit down timidly.
After a while, the teacher came. Madam Yin had come to say hello yesterday and the teacher knew that there would be a new student in the school today. But to his surprise, there was another addition to the mix when he came in. The teacher glanced at Jiang Mingwei a few times, but finally, he opted to not say anything.
