1484 The Emperor Is Heartless
“Governor.” The subordinate walked over. “We’re almost done with the construction. When are we starting?”
The person addressed as governor was the black-robed man that everyone had been looking for in the past three years. He stood at the edge of the desert and looked at everything in front of him. His eyes narrowed. “Of course we have to wait for the array spirit to appear.”
Although he had been following the black-robed man, his subordinate sometimes could not understand what he was saying. “Where… is the array spirit?”
The black-robed man looked at the clear sky. “It’ll appear soon.”
!!
According to his calculations, the emperor’s star had been forcefully born against the heavens and would soon fall. Under such circ.u.mstances, Xia Wanyuan would definitely appear.
The subordinate also looked into the sky with the black-robed man. Other than a wild bird flying, there was nothing else. Looking at the black-robed man beside him, the subordinate’s heart turned cold.
At this moment, at the south end of Continent F, Xia Wei was standing in the wind on a luxurious s.h.i.+p.
“Young Master.” The subordinate walked forward and handed the doc.u.ment in his hand to Xia Wei.
At this moment, Xia Wei was as gentle and elegant as three years ago. However, no one would think that Xia Wei was easy to bully like three years ago.
In three years, Xia Wei had already become the most important person beside Chu Man.
No one had expected this seemingly weak man to have so many plans in his heart. By Chu Man’s side, he had doubled the power under Chu Man.
Xia Wei flipped open the doc.u.ment and took a look. When he saw the words “Yu Qian, Xia Wanyuan, and Chu Yi meet”, his eyes paused.
Xia Wei closed the doc.u.ment calmly and asked, “Where’s the boss?”
“The boss is on the deck.”
Xia Wei left the cabin and watched from afar as Chu Man leaned back in her chair and drank.
She was wearing a black strapless dress, and her hair was slightly curled. It hung behind her shoulders. To be called a fiery rose by the people of Continent F, every inch of Chu Man revealed charm.
Hearing footsteps, Chu Man turned around. “You’re here.”
Xia Wei walked forward and took the cup from Chu Man’s hand. “Girls should drink less.”
Chu Man was not angry when her hand was empty. She supported her head with her right hand and looked at Xia Wei quietly. “Sometimes, I really can’t understand you.”
Xia Wei poured a cup of tea for Chu Man. “What?”
Chu Man took a sip of tea from Xia Wei’s hand. The bitterness spread on the tip of her tongue. Chu Man placed her hand on the back of Xia Wei’s. “The first time I saw you, I thought you were a refined scholar.”
Xia Wei looked up and the corners of his lips curled up slightly. “Am I not?”
Chu Man shook her head and raised her hand to point at Xia Wei’s heart. “Xia Wei, you’re the most heartless person in the world. I really don’t know what your heart is filled with after it’s cut open.”
Xia Wei held Chu Man’s hand. “Guess?”
Chu Man smiled and pulled her hand out of Xia Wei’s. “I can’t guess. I don’t want to guess.”
Xia Wei sat beside Chu Man and poured himself a gla.s.s of wine. “Do you remember what I reminded you back then?”
A bitter smile flashed across Chu Man’s eyes. “I remember. You said never to fall in love with you.”
Xia Wei acknowledged and looked into the distance with a deep gaze.
Emperors had no feelings. Even if they did, it was only limited to family.
Chu Man shook her head. “Go ahead. I want to be alone for a while.”
“Okay.”
Xia Wei gradually disappeared from Chu Man’s sight. Chu Man sighed softly.
Unfortunately, I had already fallen in love.
