However, Jun Linyuan reached out with his long arms before Emperor Wu could finish his sentence!
Emperor Wu’s heart sank —
Oh no!
Jun Linyuan abhorred Feng Wu and he would explode when he saw her name.
As expected, the look on Jun Linyuan’s face changed when he picked up the stack of papers and saw the name on them.
Emperor Wu was rendered speechless.
Shit. The kid was going to have a tantrum.
However, to Emperor Wu’s surprise, Jun Linyuan didn’t flare up right away, despite his livid face. Instead, he read the answers carefully and looked through the stack page by page.
Emperor Wu forced a smile. “Oh my, it’s not worth reading at all. Here, take these away —”
The chief steward only took one step forward when Jun Linyuan stopped him with a wave of his right hand.
The chief steward paused, smiled bitterly, and gave Emperor Wu an awkward look.
Emperor Wu was rendered speechless.
He could only gesture at the chief steward to stay put.
Jun Linyuan said unhurriedly, “These exam papers…”
Emperor Wu decided that he shouldn’t compliment the girl, or the kid would pick on her later. Xiao Wu was innocent!
Emperor Wu forced a smile. “Well, she’s alright, I guess. Hahaha —”
Jun Linyuan darted a look at Emperor Wu. “…Alright?”
“Yes. Look, she only got 210. There’s nothing special about her paper. Just put it away.”
Jun Linyuan turned the page, revealing the second exam set. 220.
The next set scored 230.
–
And he turned the pages until the last one, which scored 290.
Jun Linyuan glanced at Emperor Wu and casually said, “…She’s alright, you guess?”
Emperor Wu coughed.
You brat. I only said that to please you! I wouldn’t have belittled Xiao Wu if it wasn’t for you!
“Feng Wu?” Picking up the exam paper with 290 points, Jun Linyuan darted a look at the name, then turned to Emperor Wu. “Who’s she?”
Had he forgotten about her? He didn’t know who little Feng Wu was? Emperor Wu was elated and waved his hands. “She’s nobody! Not worth remembering at all!”
Jun Linyuan said, “…As in the fifth daughter of the Feng clan?”
So, you knew all along! Emperor Wu looked at Jun Linyuan in resignation. “Yes.”
Jun Linyuan feigned an indifferent tone. “Why is her paper here?”
Emperor Wu knew that he couldn’t keep it from his son. The brat could find out on his own anyway.
“Grand Secretary Fang brought it to me.”
Jun Linyuan nodded, as if he couldn’t give a damn. “She did pretty well.”
Pretty well… Emperor Wu darted a look at Jun Linyuan in surprise.
Less than a handful of people could get such a positive comment from Jun Linyuan.
Seeing that Jun Linyuan wasn’t mad, Emperor Wu stopped trying to hide his appreciation for Feng Wu.
“Hahaha, she really is pretty good. That handwriting alone is so pleasing to the eye.” Emperor Wu grinned. “And look at these exam papers —”
Emperor Wu explained in a proud tone, “According to Grand Secretary Fang, Xiao Wu did the first set seven days ago and the last set was done a day before the entrance exam. She improved from 210 to 290 in seven days! How amazing is that?!”
Jun Linyuan darted a glance at Emperor Wu and looked pleased. Of course she was amazing. She was his girl!
However, he only cleared his throat and said indifferently, “Fine.”
