Chapter 294 : A Rose Wedding 20 (2/2)
As the eldest son of a Prince, Rui Yi was not allowed to leave vampire territory for he was the heir to his father’s position.
“Lil princess…” Rui Yi’s expression was accusatory.
‘The human world has made lil princess bad!’
Shi Sheng was too lazy to deal with this lunatic, so she shook him off once she entered Prince Ke Er’s territory and made a beeline for the castle.
Mi Nai had lived with Ke Er for nearly a century, so almost everyone here recognised her.
“Lady Mi Nai… You’re back?” The maids were all astonished to see Shi Sheng.
“Lady Mi Nai.”
“Lady Mi Nai.”
Shi Sheng smiled and nodded at them. “Is godfather here?”
These maids had been rather good to Mi Nai.
…And they were very cute. So Shi Sheng was willing to treat them kindly.
“Ah? Yes, yes. But the Prince is currently seeing a guest. How about returning to rest in your room for a while, milady?” One of the maids piped up, “Your Ladyship’s room has already been cleaned…”
“Lord Rui Yi.”
This greeting was soon followed by many others.
Shi Sheng hurriedly ran upstairs, not forgetting to instruct the maids, “Hold him back for me!”
The maids broke out into laughter and went to carry out her orders, causing quite a ruckus. Now that their Lady Mi Nai had returned, the once dreary mansion seemed livelier.
Using Mi Nai’s memories as a guide, she found her way to her room. And there, as expected, was an exquisitely decorated and luxurious coffin.
Shi Sheng waited in the room for a while before someone knocked on the door, saying that Ke Er could see her now.
Shi Sheng deliberately asked the servant who was there to guide her whether or not Rui Yi was around because she was afraid of encountering him. The servant smiled and answered, “Don’t worry, milady. Lord Rui Yi is already on the way to the Feast—he won’t be back any time soon.”
Only then did Shi Sheng nod, reassured. She was really unable to take Rui Yi’s passionate “torment”.
On the way up the stairs, Shi Sheng saw a car leaving the yard. She raised a brow.
“Who’s in that car?” The person who was leaving now was most likely the guest that Ke Er had been seeing.
The servant looked over upon hearing her question. “Milady, I do not know.”
Shi Sheng didn’t continue asking as she followed the servant to Ke Er’s study.
The door to Ke Er’s study was open. The servant knocked before moving aside to allow Shi Sheng to enter. The soft lighting illuminated the tall figure standing in front of the window, gazing out.
“Godfather.” Shi Sheng called out in a docile manner. She directed her gaze to outside the window, and was able to catch sight of the car she had seen just now disappear around the corner.
Ke Er turned around to look at her. He was a very handsome man bearing some resemblance to Rui Yi. If no one told you they were father and son, your first impression would be that they were brothers.
His sharp gaze softened upon seeing Shi Sheng.
“At least you know how to return.” Ke Er’s tone was close and seemed to contain a hint of resignation. “Yet the one time you do return, you are refused entry! How am I supposed to show my face after this?”
Shi Sheng had a slight smile on her face, as if she had retracted from it every hint of sharpness. “I do suppose it’s my fault for not being well-known enough—pretty much no one here recognises me anymore.”
“Damn girl!” Ke Er laughingly scolded. “How’ve you been doing out there?”
“Pretty good.”
“Bollocks! You’re trying to pull one over me with such a poor complexion?!”
Shi Sheng, “…”
‘What do you mean ‘with such a poor complexion’? You’re saying I(bbb) DON’T look picture perfect?’
