Ch31 - [Interrupting the ‘affair’] Sirius went out on a date.

Nalun, confused: “Hiding? He’s dodging you?”

Sirius: “He is always suddenly disappearing, vanishing without a trace, and then appearing randomly from some corner the next time.”

“Oh. So he’s dodging you.”

Sirius leaned against his seat and sank into a long silence.

Nalun said calmly: “Why must you find him? Taking responsibility for sexual relations comes from an era that’s passed for thousands of years already. Sirius, your behavior…… is very strange.”

Sirius moved his lips.

Nalun didn’t give him a chance to talk and continued to say: “I definitely don’t believe what those reports say. Don’t use excuses like ‘love after sex’ to fool me.”

Sirius said: “The most implausible…… is often closest to the truth.”

Nalun secretly rolled his eyes, utterly amazed at a certain person’s ability to lie without batting an eyelash.

Sirius: “What?”

“I feel like your words are really that.” Nalun continued to say: “Do you know what’s the most outrageous version I’ve heard recently?”

Sirius cooperatively revealed a curious expression.

Nalun’s lips curved into a smile: “The things that happened that night, were actually only a…… dream of yours.”

A wet dream.

Sirius: “……”

Nalun: “After all, you were so drunk you lost consciousness. Also when you woke up the next day, you didn’t see anyone. To be honest, as a bystander uninvolved in this situation, I feel like this kind of guess is very reasonable…… Are you certain that someone was really there that night?”

Sirius silently looked at that pair of almost glowing grayish-green eyes, temporarily not knowing what to say.

Nalun nodded profoundly: “Intoxication can muddle reality and dreamscape.”

Sirius: “There’s no way for me to leave scratch marks on my own back.”

Nalun blinked, not understanding for a moment: “What?”

Reaching an understanding a moment later, Nalun instantly stopped talking. He turned his eyes and shifted his gaze downwards, secretly looking at his own two hands.

His trimmed nails were smooth, round, and clean, without any hint of filth underneath the cracks.

Then he looked at the man sitting properly before him– Sirius’s expression was incomparably calm, as if the person who abruptly let out such an explosive secret wasn’t even him.

Nalun’s tone turned extremely serious: “Don’t suddenly start discussing such…… a private topic.”

Sirius didn’t understand: “I only wanted to tell you. It wasn’t a dream. It was reality.”

Nalun: “Then just tell me directly.”

Don’t suddenly mention this kind of detail!

“I thought you’d be interested.” The temperature of the room wasn’t actually hot, but Sirius suddenly opened two buttons of his suit and said: “Every time I mention this, you’d always become extraordinarily excited.”

Nalun said casually: “This is the hottest topic of the year. Curiosity is human nature.”

Sirius smiled, not refuting these words.

“We shouldn’t be doing this.”

Inside the main hall, Sirius’s two loyal subordinates currently had a food menu held up before them as they leaned close together, speaking cautiously to each other.

“I can’t see anything at all. We need to get a bit closer!” Diya waved his hand, indicating for his colleague to go forth.

Andrew remained unmoving like a mountain.

After seeing the Honored Prince Charvey enter the coffee shop, they also got out of the car and followed inside. They just happened to see Nalun enter a private booth. He even stood at the entrance briefly, as if speaking with the person inside.

There was someone inside.

As for who? The two people exchanged looks of dismay, both noting a look of horror in each other’s eyes.

After finishing their work with much difficulty and then rushing back to the Imperial Capital, their big boss Admiral Sirius had immediately ditched everyone and left on his own in a hurry. The next day, they went in search of him because of questions at work. However, they were told–

Sirius went out on a date.

“If Sirius is inside, what should we do?” Diya had an extremely deep, worried look.

Andrew gave him a glance: “Perhaps it’s only a coincidence.”

Diya gazed at the private booth that Nalun entered: “He’s already been in there for a dozen minutes.”

Andrew thought briefly and moved over to whisper quietly into Diya’s ear.

Diya’s eyes lit up: “Alright. I’ll go right now!”

Andrew nodded his head gravely and watched as his little friend left the seat. Then, he took out his personal comp and implemented his plan at the same time.

A few minutes later, he saw his usually wild and unprincipled colleague, float back into his seat soullessly.

“I heard it.” Diya said in anguish: “The sound from the other side of the partition was extremely familiar! They really are together.”

Andrew also fell silent: “……”

First, he had Diya move closer to the partition of the private booth. Then, he sent a call over. Under normal situations, Sirius wouldn’t randomly switch into silent mode without reasons. Therefore, this sound was enough to prove if Sirius was the person Nalun went to meet.

The result was placed right before them.

Their boss was suspected to have developed a secret affair with his rival. And right now, behind all of their backs, he was secretly meeting with said person on a date inside a coffee shop on an unknown street.

Andrew’s intelligence was still online: “The Admiral didn’t deliberately cover up his tracks. Otherwise, we wouldn’t have been able to follow him so easily. Perhaps the Honored Prince Charvey…… We can’t eliminate the possibility that, like us, he came here by coincidence.”

Diya said darkly: “Then you go in and try to meet Sirius ‘coincidentally’. See if he’ll talk with you cordially for a dozen minutes.”

Andrew immediately yielded.

“There’s definitely something fishy here.”

“What’s fishy?”

A sonorous voice forcibly inserted itself into the two people’s conversation.

Diya abruptly looked up and discovered a shadow falling over his head.

A big and tall, unfamiliar man was currently standing behind the two and examining them blatantly.
