Chapter 549: Be my servant and listen to me (1)
Rebirth of a Nation's Darling – Prince Charming
The tense atmosphere was dispelled by the piano.
This piano piece was only three minutes long. It had a clear rhythm and was light and measured. It could not be compared to famous pieces, but it was still a rare high-quality piano piece.
After Si Huang finished playing, her hands were still on the black and white piano keys. With the piano keys as a backdrop, it made people clearly recognize her slender and fair fingers. Her fingernails were light pink and sparkling, looking extremely beautiful.
If Lei Qie hadnât seen it with his own eyes, he wouldnât have been able to imagine how powerful these beautiful and fragile hands were, whether it was holding a gun or hitting someone.
After the piano music ended, the room fell silent.
After about a minute, Phoenix Si turned to look at Ivana Jasper. He raised his chin slightly with natural arrogance, but he did not say anything.
Ivan Jasper looked at her for four to five seconds, then slowly smiled. The smile was so precise that it was flawless, revealing the most amiable gentleness and respect.â Miss, you played very well.â
His voice was dry and hoarse from the depths of his throat, forming a strange contrast with his perfect expression.
âIâm thirsty.â Si Huang snorted softly.
âEldest Miss, please sit and wait for a moment.â Ivan Jasper bent down.
His gaze fell on Si Huangâs bare feet. He turned around but did not pour tea. Instead, he walked to the fitting room.
The tall figure entered the fitting room and disappeared from Si Huang and Lei Qieâs sight. Lei Qieâs mind was filled with questions, but when he really had the chance to ask, he realized that he didnât know where to start.
âArenât you going to run?â Lei Qie couldnât hide the weakness and hoarseness in his voice.
Si Huang did not speak.
Lei Qie couldnât grasp her thoughts for a moment.â If youâre not running, come over and help me bandage my wound.â He smiled awkwardly.â I donât have any strength left now.â
Si Huang still didnât say anything. Ivana Jasper had already walked out of the fitting room with a pair of womenâs high heels in his hand.
He came to Si Huang and knelt on one knee. He reached out to hold Si Huangâs foot. He said in a gentle and respectful tone,â Eldest Miss, you will get sick if you go barefoot.â
The reason why he walked out barefoot was because he didnât have enough time to change.
Although Si Huang told Lei Qie to stop Ivana Jasper for three minutes, he was actually giving Lei Qie pressure. He only needed two minutes to stop Ivana Jasper. Who knew that he only stopped Ivana Jasper for a minute. He didnât know if Lei Qie was not good at it or Ivana Jasper was not easy to fool. Or perhaps, both.
At this moment, Si Huang was facing Ivan Jasperâs intimacy. She raised her foot and kicked away the gently approaching palm.
Ivan Jasper looked up at her in confusion.
âWho told you to touch me?â Si Huang looked down arrogantly at the mature man who had threatened their lives a few minutes ago. He mocked,â Yi Fan, have you forgotten your identity?â
Not far away, Lei Qie, who was injured, was agitated by Phoenix Siâs fearless action. His heart beat violently and his wound bled even faster.
On the other hand, Ivan Jasper was not angry. He lowered his head.â Iâm sorry, it was my mistake.â
After saying this, he took out a pair of white gloves from his pocket and put them on.
This time, he stretched out his hand again. Phoenix Si did not resist but did not cooperate.
Ivana Jasper took out a handkerchief from her shirt pocket, holding Phoenix Siâs heel with one hand and wiping her feet with the handkerchief in the other.
From where Reich was standing, he could see the interaction between the two of them clearly. He could even see Ivan Jasperâs steady fingertips.
His posture of kneeling on one knee and the way he served Phoenix were so formal and elegant that Lei Qi was dumbfounded. He thought that even the head butler in the Pierce family could not compare to Ivan Jasper in etiquette.
That wasnât the main point. What was most important was what Ivan Jasper was doing! Although Reich had heard of how Ivan Jasper treated all the princesses in the past, he had never seen him serve them to this extent. Was this normal? No! What was he thinking? Ivan Jasper was not a normal person, so how could his style be normal?
While Lei Qieâs imagination was running wild, Si Huang had already put on her shoes under the professional service of Ivana Jasper.
She stood up and walked towards Lei Qie.
Lei Qieâs body tensed up unconsciously. For some reason, his heart was beating faster.
Ivan Jasper followed closely behind her.
Sitting down on the sofa opposite Lei Qie, Si Huang turned his head slightly and glanced at the exquisite tea set on the small round table.
Ivana Jasper, who was standing beside her, seemed to have noticed it. She walked over and picked up the tea tray. She asked Si Huang softly,â What flavor would you like to add this time, Miss?â
âMilk and honey, two spoonfuls.â Si Huang didnât even look at him.
âAlright.â Ivan Jasper looked at her with his deep blue eyes. He held the plate in one hand and bent over to her with the other hand on his chest, not caring if she saw it.
There was a tea-making tool in the room. Ivan Jasper walked to the bar counter five or six meters away from them and made black tea for his young lady.
Although he didnât seem to pay attention to Si Huang and Lei Qieâs actions, it still made Lei Qie feel pressured. He pretended to be calm and smiled.â Is it convenient for me to have a cup too?â
He didnât want to attract Ivana Jasperâs attention, but he wanted to remind Phoenix Si of his existence, because he didnât know what Phoenix Si meant.
Fortunately, Ivan Jasper seemed to have completely forgotten his existence and did not respond to his voice.
Si Huang finally spoke to him,â How long can you last?â
These words were definitely not good words. Lei Qi felt a deep malice. He gritted his teeth and said,â I donât know. But if you are willing to help me, I think I can hold on for another few decades.â
âWhy should I help you?â Si Huang said.
Reich opened his mouth and glanced at Ivan Jasper. Did he really think that he could deal with Ivan Jasper alone?
âTell me, what value do you have for me to help you?â Si Huangâs attitude was like giving alms.
Lei Qie was shocked, he couldnât help but wonder if this person was Phoenix Sihuang. How could a person change so easily? This was not the Si Huang he knew at all!
Suddenly, the image of Si Huang acting as the divine priest in â Tooth of Time â appeared in Lei Qieâs mind, and then he understood,â Maybe others canât do it, but Si Huangâs acting skills can!â
But what did he mean by that? Was this acting? Or was he serious? Lei Qie carefully observed Si Huangâs expression, but he could not see the true expression behind the mask.
