Chapter 346 - The Chief Executive’s Concern (2/2)
Xiao Bing put down his chopsticks and smiled. “I’m full, General Manager Takahashi, take your time. I am going out for a walk.”
Xiao Bing walked out of the dining room. He was not angry at the chief executive’s warning. In fact, it was reasonable. Princesses of any country would not be allowed to marry a servant, even if he was a respectful master with a high status. Those powerful families would treat him with courtesy, but he could not match a princess. For these families, they attached more importance to political factors than ability. Unless the man was strong enough, even if he had reached the Innate Realm, he would barely have the qualification for negotiation. If he reached the Gang-strength Stage, his words would be influential, so that he could be equal to these families.
However, Xiao Bing only acted like a Transforming Strength master, which was enough to earn their respect and admiration. However, a master at the Transforming Strength Level was not allowed to fall in love with a princess. It was obviously whimsical.
Xiao Bing was not angry and he also did not want to be with Princess Nami. Even though he disliked Country R, Xiao Bing did not have such a deep prejudice that he hated everyone in Country R. In addition, Xiao Bing had no deep feelings for Princess Nami. He loved Yezi and she was the only woman who could make him willingly give up the entire forest.
After walking out of the dining room, Xiao Bing went straight to his car. He already had the key because Princess Nami said that he could use the car anytime he need to in the future, as he worked as both a bodyguard and a driver. After starting the car, Xiao Bing drove away from Sakura Manor.
On the way, Xiao Bing received a call from Princess Nami. Xiao Bing answered the phone while driving, and said, “Hey, Your Royal Highness, what can I do for you?”
“Ah, Aoki-kun, where are you?”
“Me? I’m out driving now. I will be back soon.”
“Oh, I was thinking of going shopping with you, but since you… I will wait for you to come back. That’s fine.”
Princess Nami was very polite to Xiao Bing. Not to mention that she was a dignified princess, even if she was an ordinary lady from a wealthy family, if she wanted to go shopping, and the driver was out, she would immediately ask the driver to come back, because it was his job and he had to serve his master. As long as there was an order, he should forget about his private affairs and do his duty immediately.
However, Princess Nami did not do that. She did not ask what was happening. Instead, she asked Xiao Bing to come back and look for her later. This meant that she had changed her attitude toward Xiao Bing, and she no longer treated him like a driver or a bodyguard. They were more like friends.
Xiao Bing grunted indifferently and said, “Wait for me at home, and I will pick you up when I’m done.”
“Okay, okay, don’t worry, just go about your business and come back once you are done”
They hung up and Xiao Bing felt that she seemed to be quite good now, and had become a totally different person from the past, when they first met. Was it due to what she saw and heard in the hotel that day, that brought about such a complete change in her.
After Princess Nami put down the phone, she walked out of the boudoir alone, feeling a bit bored. She went downstairs and asked loudly, “Where is Eguchi Nakayama? Find him.”
A maid walked over and said cautiously, “Your Royal Highness, Mr. Eguchi has not been seen since yesterday. The chief executive said that he left because of something personal, and he does not know when he will be back.”
“Oh, huh, Eguchi Nakayama is really becoming more and more ridiculous. He did not even come to me to ask for permission before he left. I will not spare him when he comes back.” Princess Nami pursed her mouth and said to herself, “Eguchi is not in, so what should I do?”
Looking at the cautious maid, Princess Nami’s eyes suddenly rolled, as she jumped up and laughed. “I have an idea. You, kneel on the ground.”
“What?”
“I want to ride a horse!”
