The Few Who Misunderstood
To Adam, Eve was the person he owed the most, and there was no one else.
The things that Eve had done for him were things that he could not repay. Moreover, he did not watch over her and watched her die in the sea of fire. Eve's death was a mark that could not be erased from Adam's heart.
Adam said, "I saw Eve's figure in Hongyan. The way they looked at me was very similar. Moreover, Hongyan did help me a lot. I don't want to repeat the same mistake. I want to keep an eye on her until I see her enter the hall of marriage with someone else."
After Ravel heard this, he could not help but facepalm. He smiled bitterly and said, "You are really born to be a knight. You are used to protecting others."
Adam smiled. "Perhaps."
Ravel saw that Adam's expression was serious. It did not seem like he was saying this just to brush him off. He sighed and then smiled. "Alright, I respect your thoughts, but …"
Ravel felt that Adam did not seem to understand his charm enough. It was precisely because he was born to be a knight that he was used to protecting. He would almost always protect the people he wanted to protect. Moreover, this man was very protective.
To some women, Adam's habits were a fatal temptation.
He was worried that Adam's pure protectiveness would cause others to have wild thoughts.
"But?"
Adam saw that Ravel had stopped talking halfway and looked at him in confusion.
Ravel looked at Adam for a moment and suddenly felt relieved. He shook his head and said, "It's nothing."
Although this man was very affectionate, he was also very heartless. So what if others had wild thoughts? If they encountered ice that would not melt for ten thousand years, even the hottest heart would cool down. What he was worried about should not happen.
… …
Hongyan had never thought that a country could be so friendly.
Even the most important people in the country were so amiable. Perhaps it was because she was Princess Lilith's savior, so everyone was friendly to her out of respect for Princess Lilith. However, it was rare for people to be so friendly and natural. It even made people feel comfortable.
As Hong Xun's shadow, she had seen a lot of people trying to flatter her. Those flattering faces made her feel nauseous. Now that she saw the friendly people from J Country and compared them, her favorability towards them rose to the highest point.
Hongyan felt that she might have fallen in love with this country.
"Miss Red, are you used to this place?"
Qiao Qiao walked to Red-eye and handed her a glass of champagne.
Hongyan nodded and smiled. "I'm used to everything. Thank you for your concern."
Qiao Qiao blinked and smiled at Hongyan. "You don't have to be so restrained in front of me. Just act as you normally do."
"How can I do that? You're a princess."
Hongyan shook her head.
Qiao Qiao smiled. "I've lived in an ordinary working family for more than 20 years. The way ordinary people interact with each other suits me. You keep using honorifics, I'm not used to it. Our age gap isn't that big. If you don't mind, you can call me Qiao Qiao."
"Qiao Qiao …"
"My name in Country A is Joe Qiao. People who are close to me usually call me Qiao Qiao."
"Qiao Qiao …"
Hongyan tried to call her.
"Mm."
Qiao Qiao responded. "Is there anything?"
"No, there's nothing."
Hongyan shook her head and then couldn't help but laugh. She said, "Actually, I'm really nervous. When I think about how the royal family has so many rules and regulations, if I do something unsightly, will I embarrass you? Just thinking about it makes me breathless."
"Do you feel better now?"
Qiao Qiao asked.
Hongyan nodded. She patted her chest and said, "Much better. Everyone is very friendly."
Qiao Qiao blinked and looked at Hongyan meaningfully. "Ah Yan, can I call you that?"
"Do as you wish."
Hongyan said naturally.
"Ah Yan, do you really think that everyone is so friendly? I don't know if you know that six years ago, the battle for the throne in J Country caused a huge uproar and became a joke in other countries. However, the battle between factions was very serious. The banquet was not like this. "
"Now, it's the result of His Majesty Ravel's hard work."
"You can say that. However, Adam also played a role that cannot be ignored. He has a huge influence in J Country. Didn't you notice that at the banquet, when people talk to him, they all use honorifics? Even if it's a Duke. "
"… …"
Hongyan was very ashamed. She actually didn't notice this. What Duke or Duke, she didn't know them at all …
"Today, Adam pulled you in front of so many people to show those people.
Hongyan's heart thumped. She asked blankly, "Why did he do that?"
Qiao Qiao looked at her and asked, "Do you really not know? It's because Adam wants you to receive absolute respect. She is not familiar with J Country and he is worried that you won't be able to adapt. That's why he wants to create a friendly atmosphere. As long as those people know that you are Adam's woman, they will naturally revere you. "
When Hongyan heard Qiao Qiao's words, she almost thought that Adam also cared about her.
Her heart unconsciously started to beat faster again. She took a deep breath and forced herself to remain calm.
Illusion, this is just an illusion!
Hongyan would not forget what Adam said to her on the plane.
His heart was with Princess Lilith and he hoped that she would not waste time on him. After she confessed in front of him, his reply was that Adam was not interested in her at all.
Therefore, Hongyan could only respond, "That powerful?"
Qiaoqiao nodded. "That's how powerful he is. Although I was the Queen for a while, he was the one who made all the decisions."
Hongyan's mouth twitched. "What can he not do?"
Did this man have to be so omnipotent?
Qiao Qiao thought for a moment and said, "Other than cross-dressing, I really can't think of anything else."
Hongyan: "…"
Could she say that she had already seen Adam cross-dressing?
It was very beautiful …
Qiao Qiao continued to promote Adam, saying, "Other than Phillips, Adam is the youngest core member of the Elders in J Country. Although he entered the Elders for various reasons, his own talent cannot be ignored. Adam is really an outstanding man."
"Oh, he is indeed outstanding …"
"And Adam is very good to the people he cares about. His thoughtfulness makes you feel like you are in the palm of his hand."
"Indeed, he is very suitable to be a boyfriend …"
Seeing that Hongyan's reaction was calm, Qiao Qiao continued, "Not only that, he is rich, handsome, mature, and humorous. Aren't you moved?"
Hongyan: "…"
She did not know how to respond to Qiao Qiao.
What was the use of this man being good? What did not belong to her, no matter how good he was?
From her point of view, Qiao Qiao seemed to be showing off her man. Could it be that she could tell that she had a crush on Adam, so she made a special trip to show off?
She wanted to say that the Princess did not have to do that because Adam's entire heart was with her. No one else could have a share of it.
Qiao Qiao saw that Hongyan still had no reaction and could not help but feel puzzled.
