Chapter 297 : A Rose Wedding 23 (1/2)

Shi Sheng didn’t ask Xi Yin why he’d left without saying goodbye. Some things were better left unasked.

‘No matter what happened in the past, it’s enough as long as he’s here.’

When Xi Yin and Shi Sheng returned, there was already someone waiting outside the castle for them. Spotting Shi Sheng, he immediately went forward.

“Milady, His Grace wants you to stay at Lord Rui Yi’s residence for now.” The servant passed her several keys.

Shi Sheng nodded. “Will Godfather be fine?”

Ke Er probably wanted to glean some information from that woman’s mouth.

“Don’t worry, there’s nothing His Grace can’t handle!” The servant had a worshipful expression on. But when his gaze fell onto Xi Yin, who was standing beside Shi Sheng, he sharply drew in a breath of cold air. “And er, milady… His Grace has instructed for you to give him a call when you reach Lord Rui Yi’s residence.”

“En, got it. You head back first.”

The servant moved aside and sent her off as her car left.

Rui Yi had his own residence. It wasn’t a castle, but a small villa. He didn’t live here very often, instead spending most of his time in the castle.

Rui Yi wasn’t here, so Shi Sheng opened the door and entered.

As Shi Sheng watched Xi Yin swap out his shoes for slippers, she asked him smilingly, “You’re staying with me?”

Xi Yin’s ears turned red though his expression didn’t change. “En.”

“You’re not worried I’ll do anything to you?” Shi Sheng scooted closer, her tone ambiguous.

Xi Yin paused and lifted his head to look at her, speaking earnestly, “If you’re happy, I’m happy.”

If that could make her happy, he was willing.

Shi Sheng straightened up and pinched his face. “Look at you, learning how to sweet talk already!”

Xi Yin allowed her to pinch his face as his lips pursed in a smile. Gold light shimmered in his tender gaze.

“I’ll go give Godfather a call. You go pick upstairs and pick a room. The one with the red door is Rui Yi’s.”

Xi Yin obediently went upstairs.

Shi Sheng found the telephone in the living room and made a call to Ke Er’s study. It appeared he’d been waiting for her call, for he picked up immediately.

She was greeted by Ke Er’s booming voice, “Damn girl! How’d you get to know Lord Xi Yin?!”

Shi Sheng moved the phone further from her ear. ‘So loud…’

“Godfather, calm down.”

Shi Sheng played down the details and made up a story to fool Ke Er.

As to whether he truly believed her or was just pretending to, that was anyone’s guess.

“You’re with Lord Xi Yin?”

“En. I like him; of course I’ll be with him. Godfather, you won’t break us up, will you?”

“I’d have to have the guts to do so first! Girl, since you’ve found a golden thigh to hug, make sure you get some benefits for our family!”

Shi Sheng, “…” ‘Hey, hey now. This doesn’t seem right. Who the hell would ask for benefits so frankly?

No wait, I don’t even know what Xi Yin’s status is, how am I supposed to get benefits?’

“Don’t worry about the situation over here. I’ll think of a way to glean some information from her. Just focus on spending time with Lord Xi Yin and try your best to have a child!”

“Alrighty then, I shan’t bother you two anymore. I’ll tell Rui Yi not to return there for the time being.”

Beep beep beep—

Shi Sheng was left holding the phone with a dumb expression on her face. “…”

‘Godfather, you’re selling your daughter! This isn’t very nice…

…But I like it!’

Shi Sheng happily placed the phone back.

That night, the castle steward came over to deliver some brand-new men’s clothing as well as some other necessities that were clearly prepared for Xi Yin.

“Go get him, milady!” Before the steward left, he didn’t forget to encourage Shi Sheng.

‘Just what kind of people are these…’
