Swore on Heaven's Name 1

While the whole mainland's male beast was drowning in misery and self-pity, there was another male beast that was similarly miserable and soaking bucket of sweats for being called to The Lord's study room for a private talk.

Ren Yupei put on his best professional smile and asked politely: "My Lord, what matter do you need me that we have to talk in the middle of the night?"

Wang Ze was standing on the ceiling high window as he gazed at the scenery outside. The birthday banquet had peacefully ended a few hours ago and all the guests had returned with mixed feelings.

Poor Ren Yupei had to deal with all the aftermath, though.

Not only did he have to get rid of some shameless male beasts that didn't know fear for daring to covet The Princess and challenged him, now he too had to bear the rage of this intimidating beast that emitted such a huge pressure on him.

He had been kneeling politely for about an hour yet the Emperor had no purpose on excusing him at all. It was as if he was a teenager that came to receive punishment after creating troubles! For God's sake, he was already two hundred years old ah!

Finally, The Lord talked. But the words that came out of his mouth was akin to thunder striking Ren Yupei straight on his head.

"How did the thing of ideal man came about?"

Ren Yupei didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He knew it! He knew that The Lord couldn't have let him go so easily like that!

"Hmm, I—I'm not so sure. My Lord, the princess must be joking. She must have made that decision on the spot." He tried making excuses as best as he could.

But The Lord had blocked all his escape route and instantly KO-ed him. "Last year, she had come to This Lord saying that she wanted to marry you, but This Lord had always thought that she was joking and would immediately forget all about it. But then today, This Lord heard of the same thing again."

The more Wang Ze talked in a reminiscing tone, the more Ren Yupei felt like this was his last moment.

Princess ah! How could you talk to The Lord regarding this thing without discussing anything to me? Do you want to see The Lord chop and feed me to the deranged beasts?!

Ren Yupei was so anxious that he almost puked blood. In the end, he had maintained his smile while the corner of his mouth twitched badly. "Children... didn't they always say it? That they wanted to marry the person closest to them--"

"Presumptuous!" The Lord suddenly exploded in rage. It was the most intense one Ren Yupei had ever seen. After all, he was the most obedient and excellent minister who rarely made any mistakes ah!

He began to stammer. "My Lord...is there something wrong with what I said?"

"Something wrong?" He chortled in disdain. "Everything's wrong! How can the person closest to her is you? It should be This Lord! If she wanted to marry, she should have said that she wanted to marry This Lord!"

Wang Ze slammed his hand on the huge and sturdy table stacked with documents and instantly the table was covered with web like cracks which was spreading from his hand to every corner of the table with the speed visible to naked eyes.

With a loud crash, the table broke into pieces. The documents were flying everywhere and the room was a mess.

Yet Wang Ze seemed blinded as his bloodshot eyes was staring at Ren Yupei as if he was his nemesis. "How dare you!"

Ren Yupei's temple throbbed: "..."

Damn it, I just stepped on a landmine! How could I say the wrong thing ah!

With this jealous and raging male beast akin to an overprotective hen, how could he stand still in the face of someone who stole his daughter's attention away from him?!

His daughter hadn't even said that he wanted to marry her father when she grew up but then, she had said that to this annoying man!

Wang Ze's hidden wish crumbled into dust at that moment.

And it was all Ren Yupei's fault!

Wang Ze gritted his teeth as he spat out the words. "How could she wanted to marry you instead of This Lord?"

"My Lord…" Ren Yupei said helplessly but The Emperor didn't even gave him any second to talk.

"Is that true? That the criteria of every girl's ideal man is someone who is kind and gentle looking like a refined scholar, had a handsome look like beautiful jade, someone who is soft on the outside but strong on the inside? Looking aloof, yet a passionate lover?"

Ren Yupei had almost slipped and laid flat on the ground. He was gawking, flabbergasted. "My Lord, where…did that come from?"

Wang Ze chortled. "This Lord read it on An Zhengnan's magazine."

An. Zheng. Nan! Ren Yupei gnashed his teeth inwardly.

What the hell is wrong with all your magazine?! Can you please own something normal for once? And since when did The Lord read this kind of scrappy magazines?! Why didn't I notice that?!

Ren Yupei could felt all his blood was flowing backward. He was so infuriated that he almost had a heart attack. Fortunately he could still control himself. "My Lord, those magazine is not trustworthy ah!"

Wang Ze glanced at him from the corner of his eyes. He snorted in disdain when he saw Ren Yupei's awkward yet smug smile. Did he look stupid? Couldn't he see the truth right in front of his eyes?

Look, look at him looking so proud of himself! This bastard…he dared, huh?!

Ren Yupei tried his best to smile humbly and spoke in a straightforward and confident tone so that The Lord could trust him.

But why…did The Lord look more and more resentful? The way The Lord look at him, it was like facing one's greatest enemy ah! Help! What did he do wrong?!

Wang Ze took a few deep breaths before he returned standing by the window and gazed outside with a faraway look. Ren Yupei secretly wiped his soaked forehead and mourned for his life.

"Do you swear on the Heaven's name that you'd never seduce Qing'er?"
