Chronicles of the Lazy Sovereign Novel - Chapter 223

**Chapter 223: The Holgazan, Not Easy (3)**

“‘We have no relationship’…”

Hocheolsan left the phrase unfinished and looked at Jin Yeran.

His gaze clearly said: ‘If you have no relationship, why do you look at it so much?’

“I thought they were partners, but it seems not.”

“Companies…”

Wei Yanho scratched his head.

His relationship with Jin Yeran was difficult to define. They had come together, but they had no common goal, so they could not be considered partners.

If that makes them partners, then everyone here would be partners of Wei Yanho.

“Good. Why are you down here? Don’t you have a room upstairs?”

“My father called me, but he is not here.”

“Your father… Mr. Wei Jeonghan. He went to a meeting a while ago.”

“Oh, yeah?”

Wei Yanho frowned.

Looks like he left after he called him.

“He said he would introduce you. He probably called you to meet us.”

Wei Yanho nodded and looked around.

Of course, he didn’t know anyone. If his father had been there, he would have had them present themselves, but now there was no one to help him.

What should I do?

Seeing Wei Yanho doubt, Hocheolsan said:

“It looks like you came to introduce yourself.”

“I suppose so.”

“Everyone here knows others, but they don’t know you.”

Hocheolsan turned to the group and said:

“Wei Yanho, the second son of the Wei family, son of Mr. Wei Jeonghan and brother of Wei Sanho, has come to introduce himself. Welcome him with applause.”

It was a slightly exaggerated presentation. Wei Yanho was about to react when he heard applause.

“Wow!”

“Oh!”

Wei Yanho smiled unintentionally at the applause of strangers.

Wei Yanho was weak in the face of praise and atmosphere.

“Head, what a welcome…hehehe.”

Jin Yeran sighed at Wei Yanho bowing.

‘If only he were aware of his own ability.’

Being humble is good, but being too humble is not good either. Wei Yanho is not humble, he is simply not aware of his position.

‘Mr. Wei Jeonghan also does not seem to be aware of his son.’

Wei Yanho, objectively seen, was an incredible person. Even for Jin Yeran, who does not know the martial world well, Wei Yanho deserved to be treated with respect.

However, Wei Yanho seemed to consider himself only a lazy future leader, and Wei Jeonghan did not seem to consider him more than that either.

That bothered her.

“Nice to meet you.”

“Oh, yes.”

When Hocheolsan stretched out his hand with a kind smile, Wei Yanho smiled and shook his hand.

For Wei Yanho, who was always treated as useless, this welcome was something new.

“I hope we get along well. As you are from the Wei family, we will see each other often.”

“I don’t get out much, so I don’t think we’ll see each other.”

“…”

Hocheolsan looked at Wei Yanho with a stunned look.

‘What about this guy?’

Isn’t it that you’re taking your words literally?

‘No. That’s impossible.’

If Wei Sanho were just a fool with good martial ability, he wouldn’t be so famous. Wei Sanho is known for being smart. His brother can’t be a fool. Even if one brother is a genius and the other has no interest in studies, it’s rare for him to be a fool.

‘Are you mocking me?’

But his innocent expression is strange.

“Kheugh, is that it?”

“Yes.”

Wei Yanho nodded, as if he had said something obvious. Hocheolsan realized that the conversation with Wei Yanho would not be productive. Moreover, Akseohui was giving him hints.

“Good. You must be tired, go.”

“My father said to come…”

Hocheolsan smiled kindly.

“Mr. Wei Jeonghan probably called you to meet us. We’ve already introduced ourselves, so he won’t blame you when he returns.”

“…… do you think?”

“Of course. I assure you.”

“Hmm…”

When Wei Yanho seemed to doubt, Hocheolsan slapped him on the shoulder.

“What are you worried about?”

“I want to leave… but…”

“What?”

“What if my father gets angry when he gets up?”

Hocheolsan laughed in disbelief.

“I assured you. No, I guarantee it. So don’t worry.”

Wei Yanho looked at Hocheolsan with an expression of pity.

“And what will you do if my father gets angry despite your guarantee?”

“… eh?”

Hocheolsan blinked.

“Are you going to get the punches in my place?”

Hocheolsan ran out of words. “How should he answer the question of what he would do if his father was angry despite his guarantee?”

‘Is he challenging me?’

Akseohui pinched Hocheolsan in the ribs as he watched Wei Yanho’s reaction.

“Tsk.”

Normally, I would teach this insolent junior the consequences of challenging a senior…

‘But I won’t be able to sleep if I do.’

Hocheolsan decided to let him go.

“Although I don’t think it will happen, if it does, I will take responsibility and convince Mr. Wei Jeonghan that you have done nothing wrong.”

“Hmm.”

Wei Yanho looked at Hocheolsan with disbelief.

And then he nodded slowly.

“Well, it’s okay.”

Although he did not fully trust Hocheolsan, he could not wait for Wei Jeonghan to return. Wei Yanho decided to use Hocheolsan as a shield to escape Wei Jeonghan’s claws.

“Then I’m leaving. Nice to meet you.”

“Just like that. Go away.”

“Yes, bye.”

Wei Yanho turned and went up. He accidentally made eye contact with Jin Yeran, but Wei Yanho did not pay attention to him and kept going up.

‘Really…’

Jin Yeran looked at Wei Yanho with an expression of resentment.

She knew that he had no bad intentions. This man was simply very clueless. He probably didn’t realize Jin Yeran’s plight.

Although she knew she should expect nothing, she could not help but bite her lips. While she decided how to resolve the situation without Wei Yanho, she heard a loud voice.

“You’re not going up?”

“Huh?”

Jin Yeran turned his head surprised.

Wei Yanho was looking at her with an expression of boredom.

“Your room is upstairs.”

“Huh? Ah… yes!”

“Do you have something to do downstairs?”

“No! Nothing!”

“Then let’s go.”

Her face lit up.

‘He noticed.’

She thought he was indifferent, but it seems not.

“I’m coming now.”

Jin Yeran smiled and followed Wei Yanho. Wei Yanho blushed slightly at Jin Yeran’s smile.

‘It’s very beautiful.’

Jin Yeran had always been beautiful, but Jin Yeran smiling was even more beautiful.

“Kheugh.”

Wei Yanho, feeling uncomfortable, coughed and went up.

“Wait!”

But at that moment, he heard a voice that interrupted his good mood.

“Huh?”

Wei Yanho and Jin Yeran turned their heads. Hocheolsan was looking at them with a serious expression.

“Where are you going?”

“You said go up, why do you ask where I’m going after you tell me to go up?”

“I don’t mean you!”

Hocheolsan’s face was red.

This guy doesn’t know when to intervene and when not.

Wei Sanho wasn’t like that, this guy’s very clueless.

“Miss Jin.”

“…yes?”

“It seems you didn’t respond to our invitation to join us. Isn’t it rude to leave without responding?”

Jin Yeran’s face hardened.

Looks like they had no intention of letting her go.

What was I supposed to say?

I was looking for the best way to avoid problems, but I didn’t need to find an answer. Someone with an exceptional ability to make things worse had spoken first.

“I don’t want to, why do you insist? How pathetic.”

“…….”

Hocheolsan’s body shuddered.

The sentences are made of words. There are many combinations of words, but right now, there was nothing that could bother Hocheolsan more than that phrase.

“P… pathetic?”

When had you heard that before?

But Wei Yanho was not so considerate as to think about what Hocheolsan was used to hearing.

“You are very insistent.”

Wei Yanho looked at Hocheolsan, who was in shock, and said:

“Did you get married?”

“No.”

“Do you have a boyfriend?”

“No.”

“That’s why.”

Wei Yanho shook his head.

“If you keep doing things that women don’t like, who will love you? If you don’t have experience and intelligence, at least you should be an observer. Why do you keep asking when she’s telling you clearly no?”

“Huh…?

Both Hocheolsan and Jin Yeran opened their mouths a lot.

This man has always been so observant… no, he’s not! What are you trying to do?

There are many truths in the world, but there are truths that must never be revealed. But Wei Yanho, as if he did not care, began to insult Hocheolsan.

“Let’s go.”

When Wei Yanho finished, Jin Yeran nodded with a stunned expression.

“Yes, yes.”

When Wei Yanho and Jin Yeran began to climb, a cry was heard.

“Snotty!”

It was Akseohui.

“You are very insolent! Everyone here is older than you, and the brother of…”

“Stop it, stop it.”

Wei Yanho interrupted Akseohui.

“I’m a bit of a talker…”

“… eh?”

“I know when to speak and when not to speak.”

“…….”

Wei Yanho came down slowly, rubbing his hands.

“No matter what you say, in the end, it will be something like: ‘ Apologize,’ ‘Admit your mistake,’ ‘I will punish you.’ I have no intention of doing it…”

Wei Yanho smiled and said:

“If you’re angry, come fight.”
