Yu Lingfeng lifted a brow. âWho are you looking for?ân/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
âHelp me find my fiancé.â
âOh? Youâre looking for Bo Jinyan?â
âNot him! Heâs no fiancé of mine! My fiancé is Lin Jingxuan, whoâs been taken away by Mo Jiangye. I need you to help me find him.â The woman cast a nervous look at him.
He shook his head with a smile that was not quite a smile. âYour fiancé is Bo Jinyan.â
Gu Feirou spat out in disdain, âBo Jinyan? Iâm not interested in him. I told him to help me get the cornea of this particular person, but thereâs been no news to date.â
The man began clapping his hands.
âWhat a fine taste you have in men.â
His response stunned her a little before she recovered and asked, âCan you help me find Brother Jingxuan?â
He regarded her with a penetrating look. âOf course. Thatâs not a big deal.â
The woman felt uncomfortable under his piercing stare. âT-Thank you.â
âThe thing is, what if I canât find him?â
âThen I wonât be returning to Blue Tower.â
âHm... Are you saying that you wonât ever return?â
Her face turned cold. âWhat are you trying to say?â
Yu Lingfeng walked over to the bedside, picked up an apple from the fruit basket, and started peeling it. âHeâs dead.â
âW-What?â
âWell... The fiancé youâre talking about is dead.â
âNo way.â
The man cut the apple into bite-sized pieces and began elegantly eating them. âLin Jingxuan, the Young Master Lin youâre talking about, was kicked out of his family by his grandfather. He was taken away by Mo Jiangye on XXXXXX date and died in a cell on XXXXXX date.â
âYOU!â
âSay, are you sure you donât want to return to Blue Tower, my dear sister? In that case, Iâll return with your fiancé first.
âYou can rest assured. Iâll let our mother know about your wishes upon my return to Blue Tower. Weâll never bother you or interfere with your life again. You can lead the life youâve been living all this while without having to worry about being harassed.â
The woman was in a complete state of panic. It took her a long time before she recovered from the news of Lin Jingxuanâs death.
This is ridiculous! Dead? Brother Jingxuan is dead? How can this be?
âHm? Say something, my darling sister. Will you be returning to Blue Tower with us?â
Scalding tears leaked from the corners of her eyes and streamed down her face. âN-No... He isnât dead.â
There was no reaction whatsoever from her brother as he watched her cry her heart out while continuing to munch on his apple. âNeed you be so sad over a mere man? Bo Jinyan is the fiancé that our mother has selected for you and heâs definitely a hundred times better than the man you used to call Brother Jingxuan. Of course, if you donât like him, you can have your pick of men in Blue Tower. Thereâs bound to be someone that suits your taste.â
âGet lost!â She grabbed the pillow that was beside her and smashed it down hard against his head.
This scene gave Jing Xinze, who had been standing in a corner of the room all this while, quite a bad shock.
Thud... The piece of apple in Yu Lingfengâs hand fell to the ground. The indolent yet nonchalant look he had on his face instantly turned into a terrifying, fearsome expression that frightened her witless.
âI-I... I...â
As he squinted at the woman on the bed, he slowly rose to his feet. âLetâs go, Jing Xinze.â
âYes, Young Master.â
Just as they were about to walk to the door, Gu Feirou frantically said, âI was wrong, brother. Iâll return to Blue Tower with you.â
I have nothing left here and no one to rely on save for the title of Blue Towerâs Royal Princess. It would only make it way too easy for that b*tch Ye Erruo to kill me if I lost this title too.
His lips lifted into a mocking smirk as Yu Lingfeng slowly turned around and faced his sister. âThatâs a wise decision.â
âBrother, thereâs something that I need to do before I go back with you. Otherwise, Iâll leave with grievances.â
âWell, what is it?â
âSince you have wide social connections here, can you help me get the cornea of a particular person?â
