Feng Yuncheng looked at Beatrice with passion in his eyes. His feelings for her were obvious.
Mo Yuelou chuckled to himself. He said to Beatrice, âYou guys can talk. Iâll go in first.â
âOkay.â
After Mo Yuelou left, Beatrice asked Feng Yuncheng, âWhy are you here?â
Feng Yuncheng pushed his glasses up his nose bridge in embarrassment. He said, âI guessed that Her Highness would come, so I shamelessly came with my brother.â
Hearing that, Beatrice looked at him with a complicated expression. âYou came to see me?â
Feng Yuncheng nodded. âOriginally, we agreed to go to the Iron Thunder Army for the annual assessment in July, but looking at the current situation, Iâm afraid we wonât be able to go. I donât know when I can see you, so I took advantage of this opportunity to come.â
Hearing that, Beatrice asked Feng Yuncheng, âWhy do you want to see me?â After asking this question, she looked into Feng Yunchengâs eyes without missing any of his subtle reactions.
Beatriceâs gaze was naturally dignified and sharp. Under her gaze, Feng Yuncheng didnât even have the courage to lie. He lowered his eyes and saw the safety pendant hanging by Beatriceâs sword. He suddenly felt more courageous.
Feng Yuncheng replied, âBecause I miss Her Highness.â
This was an ambiguous answer. It could be a subordinateâs respect and concern for his superior, or a manâs inability to let go of a woman.
It all depended on how Beatrice would handle this answer.
Beatrice never beat around the bush when it came to things. She liked to play straight. Hearing Feng Yunchengâs answer, she said firmly, âYou like me.â
Feng Yunchengâs heart sank when he heard Beatriceâs overly calm tone.
Beatrice told Feng Yuncheng, âFeng Yuncheng, you donât like me. You just pity me.â He pitied her and wanted to dote on her.
With that, Beatrice walked past Feng Yuncheng and strode into the hotel, leaving Feng Yuncheng standing there alone while looking helpless.
Was it just pity?
After a few minutes, Feng Yuncheng returned to the hotel listlessly. He glanced at Beatrice, who was surrounded by everyone, and then walked to Yu Huang with a dejected expression.
Seeing that Feng Yuncheng looked dejected, Yu Huang knew that he must have been rejected by Beatrice.
Yu Huang handed Feng Yuncheng a cup of wine. âCome, have a cup of wine to commemorate your first heartbreak.â
Feng Yuncheng glared at her, but he took the glass of wine and drank it all.
When it was almost nine oâclock, Su Xuanye and Lin Jiansheng arrived at Xueli Island with Kong Qing. The two of them were wearing purple robes that represented Purifying Spirit Saints. One had white hair that was whiter than snow, and looked handsome, like an immortal. The other had short hair, was burly, and looked fierce.
The two of them walked together, creating a strong visual contrast.
Yu Huang heard soft discussion behind her. âIn the past, Saint Ling Xiao had a beard and long hair. He looked like a sage. Now that heâs shaved, why does he look like a gangster?â
âWhat nonsense are you talking about? Saint Ling Xiao only looks fierce. Heâs very kind.â
âThis is nothing. He looks intimidating but heâs soft-hearted.â
Yu Huang agreed with his words.
Kong Qing recognized Yu Huang at a glance, since she was the most dazzling and elegant one there?
Kong Qing jogged over and hugged Yu Huangâs leg.
Yu Huang was wearing high heels today. Kong Qing hugged Yu Huang while his head only reached Yu Huangâs navel. He buried his head in Yu Huangâs stomach and rubbed it before raising his head to say to Yu Huang, âYu Huang, youâre so beautiful today!â
Yu Huang tapped Kong Qingâs forehead with her index finger and said, âCome, let me see if our little prince is handsome today.â
Kong Qing chuckled and took a few steps back so that Yu Huang could size him up.
Kong Qing looked similar to Lin Jiansheng. After putting on a suit and tie, he looked like a gangster.
Clothes could completely change a personâs appearance. However, this sentence clearly didnât apply to Kong Qing.
Sheng Xiao bid farewell to Feng Tang and the others. He walked toward Yu Huang with a wine glass in his hand. When he saw Kong Qing, who was dressed like a prince, he reached out and patted Kong Qingâs head. âYouâre very handsome today.â
Kong Qing gave Sheng Xiao a thumbs up. âYouâre handsome too.â
At this moment, a gust of wind suddenly sounded outside the hotel.
Kong Qing raised his head and looked at the sky outside the French window. He saw more than ten gorgeous aircraft hovering in the sky, and each aircraft had a spider lily drawn on it.
âWow!â This was the first time the country bumpkin Kong Qing had seen so many aircrafts. His horizons were instantly broadened. âThere are so many aircrafts!â
The aircraft landed on the tarmac in front of the hotel. The chief steward of the Caro Clan walked out of an aircraft with two young men.
The young man walking on the left side of the butler looked about the same age as Sheng Xiao, but he was shorter than Sheng Xiao. He was slightly plump.
The man standing on the right of the main butler was even younger. He looked to be in his twenties and looked a little familiar.
Yu Huang searched through her memories before finally remembering where she had seen this man before. If she remembered correctly, he was Caro Xiangfuâs second son, Caro Xianyang!
Many years ago, when Yu Huang had just awakened her beast form and went to the Lou Lan Ancient Pavilion with her mentor to search for cultivation techniques, she had seen this person once. That year, this man was a youth. He was dressed extravagantly, and his aura was extraordinary.
After three years, the once flamboyant youth had matured a lot.
After entering the hotel lobby, the main butler bowed to all the guests before leading the two young masters to the high platform.
The main butler took a microphone and handed it to the slightly plump man.
The man held the microphone and smiled before speaking. His smile was charismatic.
âGood morning, everyone. Iâm Caro Xianle. Together with my younger brother, Caro Xianyang, I thank everyone on behalf of my father, Caro Xiangfu. Thank you for your hard work and coming from afar to attend Caro Zhengyangâs 800th birthday!â
Kong Qing held Yu Huangâs hand and stood below the stage. When he heard the name Caro Zhengyang, his hand holding Yu Huangâs suddenly tightened.
Yu Huangâs right knuckles crackled from his grip.
Yu Huang looked at Kong Qing in surprise, but she saw that Kong Qingâs little face was livid. His two black eyes were fixed on the high platform, and he seemed to be possessed.
Yu Huang was extremely shocked.
She was about to carry Kong Qing. Sheng Xiao thought that Kong Qing couldnât see the stage. Yu Huang was wearing high heels and it wasnât convenient for her to carry the child. So, he reached out and carried Kong Qing from Yu Huangâs arms.
âYou canât see? Then Iâll hold you.â
Sheng Xiao raised Kong Qing and placed him on his head. Then, Kong Qing could see everything on the stage clearly. âSheng Xiao, is the person celebrating his birthday called Caro Zhengyang?â
Sheng Xiao nodded. âYes.â
After getting the answer he wanted, Kong Qing stopped talking.
