"I suddenly thought of something." Wu Xufan looked serious.
His rarely serious demeanor made Xiao Hezhen a bit nervous.
"What?"
"Why do you all know about this play, but I don't?! Yuan Wenkang should know too, right?!" Wu Xufan enunciated each word, sounding a bit gritted.
Xiao Hezhen pressed her lips, unable to suppress a laugh.
"Why?" Wu Xufan pressed.
Xiao Jinxing and An Ning knew he adored Xiao Hezhen to pieces, yet they kept him in the dark about this plan, what's the big idea?!
"The Empress said she feared you'd hold us back." Xiao Hezhen answered.
"..." Wu Xufan was instantly furious, his whole face reddened with anger, "Am I really that unreliable?! When have I ever held anyone back?!"
Xiao Hezhen knew Wu Xufan would be upset.
She explained softly, "You can't really blame the emperor brother and the Empress for keeping it from you; obviously, the fewer people know about these things, the better. If anything goes wrong, it will ruin everything."
