Who asked me to like you?
When Hongyan and Adam returned, they happened to see a middle-aged man in a neat suit walking out with a black gold walking stick. The man smiled humbly when he saw Adam. He looked friendly and friendly, and it was easy to have a good impression of him. However, Adam's eyes were unusually cold. He even ignored the man as if he was air.
Hongyan was confused. Did this man have a grudge against Adam?
When the man saw her, he smiled at her. Hongyan was flattered. She was about to return the greeting and smile at the man, but Adam took her hand and walked past the man. "Let's go."
"Huh? Adam? "
Hongyan didn't react at all. She almost fell because of Adam. She found that Adam was holding her hand very tightly, and his expression wasn't good.
Were they not on good terms?
Hongyan was dragged into the house by Adam. She couldn't help but turn to look at the man. She found that the man was still standing there, smiling faintly.
Hongyan's body suddenly trembled, and then she quickly turned around.
"Norville, the car is here."
The executive walked forward and reminded him.
"Oh, take it away."
Norville walked out of the side hall and sat in the car with a smile on his face. The executive couldn't help but ask, "Norville, you look very happy."
"You can tell too?" Norville's smile deepened. He rested his chin on his hand and looked out of the window. "I found something very interesting today, so I'm in a good mood."
"Huh?"
"Our heartless sir actually came back holding a woman's hand today. It turns out that stones can also have feelings. Isn't that interesting enough?"
The executive was surprised. "Did he fall in love?"
"Fall in love? Haha … That's a good word. "
The man was deep in thought. He recalled Hongyan's appearance and mumbled to himself, "Perhaps this beautiful lady will be useful."
…
"Adam? Adam? You don't look well. Do you hate that person? "
Hongyan held Adam's hand and asked.
Adam came back to his senses and looked at Hongyan. He tapped her forehead with his finger and said, "You don't have to worry about this. However, it's best if you don't interact with that man. He's not a good person."
As expected, Hongyan no longer questioned Adam. She nodded and said, "Okay, I will never say half a word to that man in the future."
After hearing Hongyan's words, Adam's expression immediately eased. He raised his eyebrows and asked, "You didn't even ask why I didn't want you to interact with that man before agreeing?"
Hongyan said in a matter-of-fact tone, "Didn't you say not to contact that man? Besides, you said that he's not a good person, so he's definitely not a good person. Why should I interact with a bad person? "
Adam laughed out loud.
He couldn't hide his true feelings in front of Hongyan. He said, "Do you trust me that much? What if I'm wrong? "
"Then let's just make the best of it."
Hongyan walked forward and held Adam's arm. "If I don't even believe my own man's words, who else can I believe? Anyway, if what you said is really wrong, then I'll take it that it's wrong. Who asked me to like you? You're right! "
"You girl …"
Adam didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
Adam was a natural knight, so he needed someone to rely on him. Hongyan relied on him wholeheartedly. Adam felt a sense of satisfaction from Hongyan.
He went to find Qiao Qiao. Qiao Qiao looked out the window at He Sijie, who was playing with other children.
"Lilith."
Adam called out to Qiao Qiao. Qiao Qiao came back to her senses.
When she saw Adam, she regained her usual expression. She blinked and said, "Adam, did you go on a date with Ah Yan? Why are you back so early? "
"I saw Gongqing coming over just now."
"Oh, are you talking about Gongqing Norville?"
Qiao Qiao twirled her hair and smiled helplessly. "I slept in the nourishment chamber for too long. I don't know much about the situation in J Country. I don't know how to address many people when I meet them. I'm really not a good princess."
"You said it yourself. You slept in the nourishment chamber for too long. It's normal that you don't know the current situation. But it's okay. I'll tell you everything about the situation in J Country."
"Mm, thank you, Adam."
Adam thought for a moment and asked, "Why did that man come looking for you? Did he say anything to you? "
When Qiao Qiao heard this, she paused. She turned her head and looked at Si Jie outside the window. She calmly said, "He said that Si Jie only has a quarter of J Country's blood. As the crown prince, it's not enough to stabilize the people's hearts. If the J Country's royal family had such a martyr, it would definitely be chaotic."
"Heh."
When Adam heard this, he couldn't help but sneer. "So? What did he suggest? "
"He hoped that Si Jie would give up the right to inherit the J Country's throne."
"Dream on!"
Adam's voice sank. His face was shrouded in a layer of gloominess. "That cunning old fox only has his eyes on the throne. Even if it's only a quarter of his blood, it's still the purest J Country's royal blood. It's a world of difference compared to those inferior goods."
"You can't say that."
This time, Qiao Qiao held the opposite opinion from Adam.
"Actually, I also feel that it's not appropriate for Si Jie to inherit the J Country's throne. He set the precedent that a quarter of his blood can ascend the throne. The situation will only become more chaotic and more people will think that they have an opportunity to take advantage of it. In ancient times, why was it rumored that the throne was passed down to the eldest son? Wasn't it to prevent the other brothers from killing each other? The existence of a pure bloodline is also the same. It's to cut off the thoughts of some people with ulterior motives. "
Adam frowned. "But the Little Prince's right to inherit the throne was personally bestowed by Emperor Ravel. I don't think that he would take back his words."
"Of course I know."
Speaking of this, Qiao Qiao's head hurt even more. "I've always hoped that Ravel and Teresa could have a child. This way, Si Jie's right to inherit the throne would naturally be reduced. Si Jie's right to inherit the throne would only become a title, but …"
"But it's impossible for Teresa to have a child."
Adam finished Qiao Qiao's words for her. His expression was rather heavy as he said, "In order to control people's hearts, the J Organisation's methods are extremely cruel. It's even more so for women."
In order to ensure that they would not be disloyal, the J Organisation's female assassins were all given life-long sterility drugs. Moreover, the damage was permanent. Even though Teresa had entered a nutrition chamber, it was of no use. She was still unable to conceive. This was also the reason why the position of Empress beside Ravel was still empty.
Teresa knew her own situation. She also understood how much pressure she would face if she were to marry Ravel. She loved him so much. How could she allow him to bear such pressure? Thus, Emperor Ravel was nominally single until now.
"Is there really no way at all?"
Qiao Qiao asked.
She knew that the pressure that Ravel was under was reaching his limit.
He was already thirty years old. If he was still single, there would definitely be a lot of public opinion. This would be a huge blow to his popularity. If he was incited by someone with ulterior motives, in addition to the precedent that a quarter of the bloodline could inherit the throne, it would definitely attract trouble.
"We've already used all the methods that we could … but the drugs that the J Organisation made are too harmful to Teresa's body …"
Only the heavens knew how much money, manpower and material resources Ravel had invested in the medical industry in order to cure Teresa's sterility. The rapid development of the medical industry in the J Country was not unrelated to his large investments.
"In short, you must not listen to Norville's words. If even the Little Highness does not have the qualifications to inherit the throne, then those people are even less qualified."
"En."
Qiao Qiao nodded.
She smiled at Adam and said: "I'm not someone who is so easily incited. What I said just now was just my feelings. Don't worry, I won't let Si Jie give up the right to inherit the throne so easily."
Adam smiled in relief. He subconsciously wanted to rub Qiao Qiao's head like before, but when his hand was suspended in mid-air, he retracted it.
He said: "I will protect you and the Little Highness."
Qiao Qiao did not miss Adam's action. Her eyes flashed with a hint of a smile like a sly little fox as she asked: "Were you planning to rub my head just now? Why did you take it back? Is it because of Ah Yan? "
Adam did not know whether to laugh or cry, "You're really too sharp sometimes."
Qiao Qiao raised her eyebrows, "I guessed right."
Adam nodded and a hint of gentleness flashed in his eyes as he said: "Since I've made the decision to be good to that girl, then I should also make a change. If I rub your head as unscrupulously as before, I'm afraid that girl will be jealous."
"Ah Yan is not such a narrow-minded girl. She's a very open-minded person."
Qiao Qiao thought of Hongyan's care for Adam and could not help but laugh: "However, it's not very good to rub her head. Since you've decided to live a good life with Ah Yan, don't do such ambiguous things anymore."
"I'll pay attention."
Adam's eyes became more and more gentle.
Adam and Qiao Qiao finished talking and walked out of the study.
Hongyan was playing games with Si Jie and a few other children. When she saw Adam come out, she immediately threw down the game controller, causing a group of children to cry out: "Nanny, don't go!"
"Are you done talking?"
Hongyan skipped in front of Adam.
Adam nodded, "What's wrong? Still playing games? "
"I'm just bored."
Hongyan said: "Those kids insisted that I play with them. I really can't refuse their kindness."
"You were the one who insisted on squeezing in!"
"That's right! You cheated your teammates! I won't play with you in the future! "
"We've all been cheated to death by you!"
The group of children shouted in dissatisfaction. Hongyan could not help but turn around and fight back: "You still have the nerve to talk about me? Do you know how to use skills or not? If you rush up when you see a monster, I won't have time to heal, okay? "
Slap.
