Chapter 369 - Im Xiao Bing, a man from the Cathaysian State (2/2)

“Are you sure?” Xiao Bing stared at the princess seriously. “Nami, please sit down first. I suppose Feng XIII has gone far now, which makes it hard for me to catch up with him. But I want to tell you something before I leave.”

Princess Nami asked fretfully, “Are you really leaving?”

“Yes.” Xiao Bing had a bitter smile on his face, “Truth be told, I have told you many lies. I’m not even from your country.”

“So what? I want to be with you. I can follow wherever you go.”

Smiling, Xiao Bing said, “In fact, I’m very touched when you came to my aid and said these things to me. But please think about it. You have been living a life of luxury and pampered by your servants. No matter what you want, all you need to do is ask your servants. You have almost everything in your family. But what will you have, when you choose me over them?”

Xiao Bing said, “I suppose you already know that men like me live a dangerous life. You may not be safe if you’re with me. You won’t have a life of a princess anymore. You may find it exciting for a short time. But are you sure you can live like that for the rest of your life?”

“I…” Princess Nami had never thought about it. She only knew that she had to fight for the things she hoped for, which was how she got what she wanted, since she was a little girl. But would she abandon her title of the princess and travel around the world with Xiao Bing?

Princess Nami was pondering on this question.

“You are the princess. You have been accustomed to many things. You will find it hard out there if you don’t have them. Don’t lie to yourself.”

“No,” The Princess answered hastily upon hearing Xiao Bing’s words. “But you can stay here. Both my grandpas love me. They won’t mind about the things you have done.

Xiao Bing smiled bitterly, “But I won’t stay.”

Princess Nami gritted her teeth, “Then I will follow you. I know about the things you have said. But I’m sure I can overcome all the difficulties.”

“Actually you are doubting if you can do the things you said, right?” Xiao Bing saw through Princess Nami with just one glance. Even she did not believe that she could abandon everything she had, just for Xiao Bing. “We are not meant for each other. Love can’t be forced. Besides, I have a girlfriend… No. I have my fiancee waiting in my hometown. I swore to marry her and love her.”

Princess Nami’s eyes reddened. She shook her head and said, “You must be lying. You just don’t want to take me with you. Don’t worry, I won’t drag you down. I’m willing to abandon everything to run away with you.”

Xiao Bing managed a wry smile, “I mean it. Why can’t you believe it? Besides, you need to consider these problems. You can’t be controlled by your impulses. And you don’t even know if you really love me. Maybe you just think that I’m different from the others who do not restrain or criticize you. Actually you just love being cared for. But it’s not love. Please listen to me. Go back and be the princess you are supposed to be. Don’t make the mistakes you’ve made again, and learn to respect others, okay?”

“I can do that. But I don’t want to go back. I want to be with you.” Her voice almost broke with emotion.

Smiling bitterly, Xiao Bing stood up and walked over to the princess and yanked her to her feet. Then he held the girl in his arms and spoke in a soft voice, “Though you have done so many terrible things, you’re still a good girl. You’re not bad inside. It’s just that no one has ever educated you properly, so you were terribly spoiled. Perhaps there will be no one there to restrain you anymore. But I want you to ponder on every decision you make. You need to restrain yourself. Call the chief executive to pick you up.”

Princess Nami wept. Xiao Bing sighed. He took out the phone in his pocket and called the chief executive, “Mr. Executive, we are at…”

After he hung up, Xiao Bing said, “This is not far from Sakura Manor. He will arrive soon. I should leave now.”

“No.” The princess suddenly shouted as Xiao Bing pushed the princess away, and planned to leave. “Your face is fake, right? I want to see what you really look like.”

Xiao Bing hesitated for a moment and stared at her sternly, “Don’t ever tell this to anyone.”

“I promise.”

“I believe you.” Then Xiao Bing took off his mask and looked at the princess.

Princess Nami found Xiao his face much more handsome and firmer than the fake one. Suddenly her mind went blank.

“Lastly, let me tell you my true name. I’m Xiao Bing, and I am from the Cathaysian State. Remember, don’t tell this to anyone.” There was a huge smile on his face.
