Chapter 22.2 - Birthday banquet

Amused, Mo Han looked up at Luo Fei.

Probably because there were too many guests, Luo Fei didn’t notice Mo Han immediately, continuing to maintain his graceful smile.

The banquet hall was very quiet. His Majesty scanned the audience and began to speak with a smile: “First of all, I would like to thank you all for coming to the coming-of-age ceremony banquet of the First Prince Luo Fei and the Second Prince Luo Ning, and for your gifts. All of your presents have all been accepted. On behalf of the two princes, I would like to thank everyone for their generosity. Today, I am not only His Majesty of the Empire, but also an ordinary father. Watching the two grow from crying babies to tall and handsome boys, as a father, I really feel very relieved.”

His Majesty Xize has always had a gentle temper, and he didn’t put on many airs when speaking. He glanced at his two children, and continued: “Eighteen years old means that both of you have become adults. As a father, I have done my best to give you the best upbringing and education possible. I hope that you will be safe and healthy for the rest of your life, and at the same time, you must also have the self-consciousness of being princes, take responsibility for your actions, and not let others down.”

Luo Fei and Luo Ning immediately bowed and saluted. “Yes, Father.”

Warm applause echoed in the banquet hall when His Majesty finished his speech.

In his heart, Mo Han also had great respect for His Majesty who created a new era in the Empire’s history. He applauded along with everyone, sincerely admiring His Majesty’s style.

Xize is not only a good monarch, but also a good father.

Despite Luo Fei’s naivete due to a lack of social experience, at least he is upright and open-minded, which is all thanks to His Majesty’s education.

After Xize finished speaking, he looked at Lin Yuan tenderly, motioning for him to say something too.

Lin Yuan smiled and said, “What His Majesty said just now is also what I want to say the most. Luo Fei, Luo Ning, you must remember the teachings of your father well.”

Luo Fei: “…”

Luo Ning: “…”

Dad is really lazy enough. He said everything in one sentence, which is very witty.

The two brothers also bowed to him cooperatively.

Xize knew that Lin Yuan didn’t like this kind of occasion, so he smiled slightly, looked at Luo Fei and Luo Ning and said, “Today is your eighteenth birthday. Is there anything you want to say to your fathers, or the guests present?”

Luo Fei was about to speak, and looked politely at the audience.

Then, in the rightmost seat, he suddenly spotted a familiar face.

That person has handsome features, and in today’s occasion where big names from all walks of life gather, continues to stand out.

He wore a beige suit, a white shirt, and a water-blue tie with delicate white embroidery patterns today. It looks very elegant and refreshing, and is exactly the one he bought for him on the s.p.a.ceship.

His face was calm, as if he was seriously awaiting the First Prince’s speech, but his eyes were full of laughter, and he was looking at Luo Fei with a smile on his face.

Luo Fei: “………”

Seeing his son suddenly quiet, Xize couldn’t help wondering, “Luo Fei?”

Luo Fei: “……………………”

The First Prince seemed to have suddenly crashed, standing there motionless like a statue. He didn’t respond even when His Majesty called him?

All the guests looked at each other in blank dismay.

Seated under the stage, Ling Yu, the omega general, looked cold. Following the First Prince’s gaze he saw a young man sitting on the right, and raised his eyebrows slightly.

Seeing that Luo Fei was still in a daze, Xize directly used his S-cla.s.s smart mech to force a connection to Chongming, and said sharply, “What’s wrong with Luo Fei? Wake him up!”

Chongming was trembling with fright—because it also saw Mo Han.

Why did Mo Han appear at the birthday banquet? He’s still wearing the tie his master gave him!

The master was so shocked that his brain froze!

Chongming immediately began to call: “Master, master! It’s your speech, master! His Majesty is going to be angry! All the guests are looking at you!! Do you really want to become a joke at your 18th birthday banquet?! You’ll be famous, everyone will laugh at you, and your dad will beat you up later!! Speak quickly!!”

Luo Fei suddenly came back to his senses.

He and Mo Han looked at each other across the audience. Mo Han still had that smile in his eyes, but Luo Fei wanted to cry.

It’s all over…

The word ‘over’ echoed over and over in his mind.

The ident.i.ty, education, and all those lies he made up in Mo Han fell apart at this moment. All his tricks to get close to Mo Han were instantly exposed.

Is it really over? Is it hopeless for him to pursue Mo Han?!

However, on such a serious occasion, as the First Prince, he couldn’t be too rude.

Luo Fei quickly took a deep breath, stabilized his soaring anxieties, and said: “Just now, I was too excited upon hearing what my father said. I forgot what to say for a while, and made everyone laugh.”

He quickly adjusted his expression and continued with a smile, “Today, my brother and I will be 18 years old. We will always remember the nurturing grace of our parents over the years. To all the teachers and seniors who have guided us, we are dearly grateful. Becoming 18 not only means we have become an adult in age, but also represents an independence and maturity of mind, and it also means that we have more responsibilities, and must pay attention to our words and deeds…”

Luo Fei began to talk, with a sonorous and powerful voice. It reached all corners of the banquet hall even without a microphone.

The First Prince’s calmness and demeanor made His Majesty’s eyes glow with admiration. Although he didn’t know why Luo Fei was distracted just now, fortunately, he responded quickly enough. The distraction a moment ago was like an illusion to the guests.

Looking at Luo Fei like this, Mo Han felt a little admiration – the First Prince’s psychological quality is very good. At least on formal occasions, he will not do anything that might damage the face of the royal family. Today, His Majesty is present, and there are also many distinguished guests in attendance, as the eldest son of the emperor, no matter how shocked he is, he has to hold back.

Thinking of this, Mo Han felt a little funny. He couldn’t help reaching out to touch the tie on his neck, thinking with some mischief, I really put on the tie you gave me today, do you think it looks good?

Seeing his movement, Luo Fei’s eyes changed slightly, but it was immediately covered up with a flawless smile.

However, in his spiritual world, Luo Fei was going crazy. “Chongming, Chongming, think of a way, how should I explain to Mo Han? Am I finished? Does he have a particularly bad impression of me? Does he think I’m a liar now?”

Instead of helping, Chongming gloated. “Master, you caused the trouble yourself, so you should solve it yourself. I am just an innocent mech.”

Luo Fei: “…”

When did his vest fall off?

Judging from Mo Han’s expression, he was not surprised at all, as if he already knew his ident.i.ty as First Prince?

In other words, his vest has long since fallen off, but he continued to foolishly pretend to be his senior?

It’s shameful enough…

If it weren’t for the presence of so many guests, Luo Fei would have dug a hole in the ground to bury himself.

Lolol. ?
