Transmigrating into a Big Villain in the Book Novel - Chapter 196
Chapter 196: Si Chenye
Translator: Storm in a Teacup
Before Ke Ruan could say anything, the man walked over, saluted to Ke Ruan and said calmly, “Nice to meet you here, Dear Empress.”
Ke Ruan had got used to this title. So he nodded and started to be more interested in this person although he didn’t want to interfere in his private businesses, “What’s your name?”
“My name is Si Chenye.”
Si Chenye?
Ke Ruan asked with uncertainty, “Are you the older brother of Si Yuhan?”
Because the author had already mentioned in the novel that Si Yuhan killed his older brother and father in order to ascend the throne. Did that mean that this person named Si Chenye was Si Yuhan’s older brother?
“Exactly.”
Ke Ruan nodded, “No wonder you look a bit alike. Why are you here?”
“I have just returned to the palace today. Unfortunately, I got lost in the palace and couldn’t find my way to the banquet hall.”
Ke Ruan nodded and subconsciously looked behind him.
Si Chenye followed his gaze and looked behind himself. “What are you looking at?”
Si Chenye looked quite confused and didn’t seem to be pretending.
But Ke Ruan could still feel that Si Chenye was a bit strange.
However, Ke Ruan didn’t show what he was thinking even though he felt this person was rather strange. For some reason, he still trusted Si Yuhan very much.
Si Yuhan in the original story also killed Ke Ruan. So both of them must have some grudge. Otherwise, Si Yuhan wouldn’t kill all the related people.
Ke Ruan shook his head and said, “It’s nothing. I’m heading to the banquet hall as well. Let me show you the way.”
Si Chenye’s smile was as gentle as usual. He saluted again and said, “Thank you, Dear Empress.”
Ke Ruan walked in front and Si Chenye followed him to the banquet hall.
At this moment, the banquet was covered in a gloomy atmosphere. The moment Ke Ruan came in, he could feel that the atmosphere became even gloomier.
Ke Ruan, “…”
Now he finally understood that Si Yuhan was angry with him again. ‘Alas, this guy is really difficult to please.’ Ke Ruan thought.
Ke Ruan smiled at Si Chenye, “I’ll go there first.”
Si Chenye politely saluted, “Okay!”
Seeing Ke Ruan’s smile towards Si Chenye, Si Yuhan suddenly tightened his grip on the cup. But he suddenly remembered Ke Ruan’s instruction when he had just hurt himself like this before.
Ke Ruan said, “It’s okay to be angry. But you shouldn’t hurt yourself no matter what.”
Some blue veins popped up on Si Yuhan’s forehead and Si Yuhan’s dark gaze shifted to Si Chenye. Then, Si Yuhan drank up all the left wine in one gulp.
Ke Ruan raised his eyes and met Si Yuhan’s gloomy gaze. Ke Ruan was so frightened that he even stopped walking.
‘His gaze is enough to frighten me to death.’ Ke Ruan thought.
Ke Ruan hurriedly lowered his head and walked over to his seat.
Delegates of the other states had known long time ago that Si Yuhan had married the former Crown Prince of the Red Flame Country. They planned to make fun of Ke Ruan but they didn’t dare.
Because their spies had gotten the news long before that Ke Ruan was really important to Si Yuhan and they couldn’t afford offending Ke Ruan.
Si Chenye stepped forward and greeted Si Yuhan, “Your Majesty.”
The corner of Si Yuhan’s mouth curled into a smile, “Welcome back, my brother. What do you think about this trip?”
Si Chenye said in a low voice, “I have properly finished my task and lived up to your expectations.”
Si Yuhan said, “My brother is not stupid at all. I’m very confident about your capacity.”
“Thanks for your praise, Your Majesty.”
Si Yuhan said, “Please be seated!”
Si Chenye said, “Yes, Your Majesty.”
Ke Ruan felt that their interaction was having a strong emotional surge beneath its surface, and… he did feel that Si Yuhan was a bit upset and seemed different from the past.
Ke Ruan glanced at Si Yuhan and met his gaze again. Ke Ruan twitched his mouth corners and wondered, ‘Why could Si Yuhan always catch my every glance?’
