Ling Xiang complained tearfully, but Ke Er kept a straight face the entire time, as if he really was a father who had suffered a great loss because of his daughter's escape from marriage.
Shi Sheng leaned against the railing, his expression somewhat listless. Although this woman had figured out Mi Nai's habits, she still didn't know some of her subtle actions.
If Ke Er didn't truly care about the original owner, he might really have been deceived.
"Eh, there's a guest?" A maid had appeared at some point and was looking outside through the open window.
Shi Sheng turned her head to take a look.
"Isn't this the guest's carriage from a few days ago?"
"Your Highness, there's an esteemed guest." At that moment, the castle's steward rushed in from outside and glanced at Ling Xiang with displeasure.
Just as the steward finished speaking, someone walked in from outside.
He walked in against the light, his figure swaying in the light, like a saint descending from a temple.
Ling Xiang's expression shifted. Why is it him …
"Lord Xi Yin." Ke Er immediately stood up and cautiously greeted him. "Why didn't you inform us of your arrival?"
Xi Yin's gaze landed on Ling Xiang. His expression didn't change, but his lips curved slightly. "I just happened to pass by."
Ke Er was suspicious. How could someone pass by from where he lived?
Despite his suspicions, Ke Er led Xi Yin to the seat of honor. His careful attitude made Ling Xiang even more nervous.
Who was this man?
He was the closest to Mi Nai at school, but then he disappeared.
She had no idea what had happened between them. What kind of reaction should she have right now?
Ling Xiang had thought this mission was quite simple, but ever since she stepped into the castle, nothing had gone smoothly.
Xi Yin glanced at Ling Xiang with a smirk. "Mi Nai, don't you recognize me?"
Cold sweat broke out on Ling Xiang's back. Why did she feel like this man's smile was so terrifying?
That gaze seemed to be able to see through her.
Did Mi Nai offend him?
"Lord Xi Yin knows my daughter?" Ke Er was suspicious. He hadn't heard Mi Nai mention this before.
"I know her, of course I know her." Xi Yin chuckled and cast a sidelong glance at Ling Xiang. He suddenly beckoned her over. "Come here."
Ling Xiang looked at Ke Er.
This wasn't his daughter, so he didn't react at all. His mind was filled with thoughts of how did Mi Nai know Xi Yin?
Ling Xiang gritted her teeth and carefully walked up to Xi Yin.
Xi Yin was seated while Ling Xiang was standing, so he frowned in dissatisfaction. "Squat down."
Ling Xiang looked at Ke Er again, but there was still no reaction from him.
She pinched the hem of her dress and squatted down, tilting her head slightly to look at Xi Yin.
This man was indeed very handsome, but he gave her a very bad feeling.
She just wanted to get out of here.
Xi Yin stretched out his index finger and lifted Ling Xiang's chin slightly, looking left and right. "Not bad."
Suddenly, he looked at Ke Er. "I wonder if Your Highness can give her to me?"
Shi Sheng almost rushed down and slashed the man who had run away from home a few times.
He actually came to the vampires to abuse his power without saying a word.
Now, he had to deal with an imposter.
This bastard!
The maids suddenly felt a chill around them. They took a step back and communicated with each other with their eyes.
What happened to His Highness?
Ling Xiang did not expect this man to ask for her the moment he opened his mouth. Her pupils constricted involuntarily.
"Is Your Highness unwilling to part with her?" Xi Yin's smile widened when Ke Er remained silent.
"Your Highness, how has my daughter offended you?" Ke Er snapped out of his daze and hurriedly asked carefully.
Xi Yin's voice rang out faintly. "That's a serious crime."
Ke Er's heart thumped as his gaze landed on Ling Xiang.
If he gave this imposter to Xi Yin, it would be fine if he didn't find out, but if he did …
The one to suffer would be Mi Nai.
"My daughter is young and does not know any better. Please forgive her, Your Highness." Ke Er's voice was sincere.
Ling Xiang sighed in relief when she heard Ke Er's words.
Xi Yin was thinking about something.
He didn't speak for a long while.
The atmosphere was heavy, so heavy that it was hard to breathe.
After a while, Xi Yin waved his hand. "Forget it. I don't want to see her."
Ke Er gave the steward a look, and the steward immediately brought Ling Xiang away.
Once Ling Xiang left, Xi Yin suddenly looked in the direction of the second floor. "You're much more composed than before."
"Huh?" Ke Er was dumbfounded. What was he talking about?
Then, he saw his daughter jump down from the second floor and aggressively rush toward Xi Yin. Before Ke Er could react, she had already dragged him out the door. "Godfather, I'll be back soon."
Ke Er: "…"
When he saw the man being dragged away by Shi Sheng, Ke Er wiped nonexistent sweat from his forehead.
His Highness Xi Yin actually didn't resist.
Since when had his daughter become so fierce?
He had to interrogate her properly when she returned.
… …
Shi Sheng stuffed Xi Yin into the car and drove away from the ancient castle.
Xi Yin sat in the front passenger seat, looking at Shi Sheng's profile with a subtle expression.
He wondered if she was angry or angry.
The vampires' roses were evergreen. The car sped through a field of roses, leaving a trail of red and green light behind it.
Finally, the car came to a stop in the middle of a field of roses.
Shi Sheng didn't say anything, nor did he get out of the car. He just looked ahead quietly.
At first, Xi Yin was still calm, but ten minutes later, he began to feel a little restless.
When she didn't say anything, it was even scarier than when she was yelling at him.
Xi Yin deliberated for a moment, then broke the silence.
"I was in a mess at the time. It's my fault for leaving without telling you."
"You touched her just now."
Xi Yin looked at her, somewhat dumbfounded.
What?
Shi Sheng expressionlessly took out a tissue from the car, grabbed his hand, and started wiping it with some force.
Xi Yin watched her actions and suddenly found it funny. Was she throwing a tantrum because of this?
Xi Yin looked at his fingertips, which were already red from the wiping. How long was she going to wipe?
Shi Sheng suddenly let go of him and pounced on him. He hugged his neck and rubbed his face against it. "Don't touch others. I'm afraid I won't be able to control myself …"
She was sick.
She had always known this in her heart.
That was why she restrained herself from falling in love with something.
But she couldn't do that with Feng Ci. She wanted his entire body and soul to be hers. If anyone else touched him, she would want to kill them.
Xi Yin's heart skipped a beat. An indescribable feeling of discomfort welled up in him. "I won't touch them. I won't touch them in the future."
He had thought a lot during the time he was away.
He admitted that he wanted to run away at the time, but during the time he was away, his mind was filled with images of her.
When he heard that she was back, he went to find her without a second thought.
But what he saw was a fake. He wouldn't forget her scent …
He remembered that someone had once told him something.
Some feelings couldn't be given up just because you wanted to.
He hugged Shi Sheng and gently patted her back.
Since he couldn't abandon her, he could only accept it.
