CHAPTER 71: CHAPTER 70: IF I WERE A THIEF

Wei Xueqing was almost on the verge of collapse inside.

A thousand regrets filled her heart, blaming herself for entrusting the matter to Ye Xin and Yang Chen, as both of them seemed utterly unreliable.

When she saw Blair yelling, her heart plummeted to the depths.

Finally, seeing John dragging Blair away, she hurriedly grabbed Ye Xin and asked, "What exactly happened? What were you talking about?"

Since they had been speaking in Lancy Language the whole time, Wei Xueqing was utterly confused.

Ye Xin giggled, hugged Wei Xueqing, and said, "What else could it be? We helped you get rid of a competitor!"

Wei Xueqing was taken aback, incredulous, "You won?"

"Of course!" Ye Xin laughed.

Wei Xueqing looked at Yang Chen in surprise, "You’re that amazing? You identified the wine Blair couldn’t?"

Yang Chen remained silent. Ye Xin was not, dissatisfied, "What’s that supposed to mean? You look down on us?"

"No! That’s not what I meant. What I meant was that in our Flame Country, we seldom drink wine, and I can’t even distinguish the classifications..."

Ye Xin said, "Then you still haven’t drunk enough. Look at this!"

Ye Xin took the bottle and handed it to Wei Xueqing.

Wei Xueqing took it and was surprised, "Yquem Winery!"

"Bingo!" Ye Xin clapped, "Seems like you do know something!"

Another translation for Lusarcius Castle is Yquem Winery.

Wei Xueqing said, "I’ve read about the history of the Lusarcius Clan. Their winery is the only one evaluated as premier super first class, and their noble rot sweet wine is the best in the world! So formidable!"

Ye Xin smiled, "The impressive one isn’t me, it’s my husband!"

Saying this, Ye Xin sweetly hugged Yang Chen’s arm, looking proud.

Wei Xueqing looked at Yang Chen, her gaze somewhat complicated.

From her initial disdain to her later realization that everything Yang Chen did was for his sister, who had no blood relation, she began to recognize and admire him.

By now, she found Yang Chen to be a mysterious man, shrouded in layers of mist; the more you approached, the more you could see of him, but even as you peeled away layers, he still remained hidden within countless veils of mist.

At this moment, John returned with Blair.

Blair stood in front of Yang Chen and Ye Xin, bowed deeply, and said solemnly, "I apologize for my earlier impulsiveness!"

Wei Xueqing quickly looked at Yang Chen.

Yang Chen translated for her, "He’s apologizing for his earlier actions."

Blair realized something and quickly repeated in Federation Language, "Please accept my apologies; my behavior earlier was really rude."

Wei Xueqing hurriedly replied, "It’s okay, it was all just a misunderstanding earlier."

Although Wei Xueqing didn’t like Blair either, for business, they had to maintain harmony.

"Thank you very much!" Blair sighed with relief and looked at Ye Xin.

Ye Xin’s eyes remained on Yang Chen, completely ignoring Blair.

John asked, "I wonder if we have the chance to taste this noble rot wine from Lusarcius Castle with you?"

"Of course!" Wei Xueqing made the decision for Ye Xin.

Ye Xin couldn’t care less; she didn’t care how expensive the wine was, as she had brought back a whole box, and it was given by someone else anyway.

Following this, even Wei Xueqing couldn’t resist having a glass. Although she couldn’t discern any taste, seeing how the others savored it, she followed suit.

By the time they returned, a blush of red had risen on Wei Xueqing’s cheeks, making her look exceptionally charming.

Ye Xin and Yang Chen together helped Wei Xueqing back to the hotel.

Then, Yang Chen looked at Ye Xin with a sly smile, "Darling, can we consummate the marriage tonight?"

Ye Xin pouted, "You’re dreaming."

"I am dreaming rather well. I heard they have waterbed rooms here, and various theme rooms, should we try them?" Yang Chen stuck close to Ye Xin’s body, feeling her full and graceful figure, and whispered in her ear.

"Alright~" Ye Xin’s sweet voice trailed off.

Yang Chen suddenly sensed something was amiss.

Suddenly, Yang Chen kicked back to leap away.

In that instant, he saw Ye Xin’s high heels stomp down where his foot had been.

"Hiss!" Seeing Ye Xin’s twelve-centimeter heel, Yang Chen couldn’t help but inhale sharply, he could even imagine the pain of being stomped on by such a high heel.

"Eh?" Ye Xin turned around with an innocent and puzzled expression, "Why are you standing so far from me?"

Yang Chen’s mouth twitched, awkwardly saying, "Well... I think it’s better if we keep a distance."

In Yang Chen’s view, Ye Xin was like a thorny rose; if he didn’t smooth those thorns down, they were definitely untouchable. Otherwise, he’d end up bleeding profusely, which wouldn’t be worth it.

"Look at you!" Ye Xin gave Yang Chen a seductive glance and laughed, "Ambitious but timid!"

Yang Chen laughed cheekily, "If I were a thief, wouldn’t I be afraid of not stealing your heart?"

"I’ll be waiting for you!" Ye Xin cast a flirtatious glance at Yang Chen and entered a nearby guest room.

It turned out she had already reserved a room.

Yang Chen shook his head helplessly; to him, Ye Xin’s identity was growing more mysterious, even giving him the feeling... that this woman was surveilling him!

"Are you watching me?" Yang Chen muttered to himself.

After all, his identity was too sensitive; if discovered, it would certainly draw attention from various sides.

And Ye Xin’s mysterious appearance, coupled with the marriage contract, and marrying him...

All these sequences of events were too coincidental.

Is it truly destiny? Or is everything orchestrated?

Yang Chen lay on the bed, lost in thought.

He wanted to unearth some childhood memories from his mind, but he found nothing.

Apart from the information about the village, there was nothing else.

What relatives were there at home, what his parents looked like, he knew nothing.

The only memory present was the day he entered the orphanage.

"I wonder how she’s doing." A woman’s figure appeared in Yang Chen’s mind.

The girl, a year younger than Yang Chen, had entered the orphanage with him.

If Yang Chen spoiled Chen Siyan the most, then the one he cared for most was her.

After all, it was the age of budding affection...

Yang Chen fell asleep with his thoughts.

His years of professional training kept him in a state of constant vigilance.

At one in the morning, Yang Chen opened his eyes.

He hadn’t forgotten; there was still something he needed to do.

At the same time, in the room next door, a shadow had already climbed out of the window.

Scaling the walls like a gecko, such stunts would surely leave Yang Chen astonished if he saw them.

And Yang Chen, busy preparing his things, had no idea someone had already set off ahead of him.
