Chapter 299 : A Rose Wedding 25 (2/2)

Xi Yin held Shi Sheng’s hands and didn’t speak. The important thing was that they’d met, wasn’t it?

The two continued messing around in the car. Only once night fell did Shi Sheng remember there were proper things that needed to be done.

“Too much beauty is a curse ah!” Shi Sheng ruffled Xi Yin’s hair, causing one strand to stick up and make him look endearingly adorable.

She nearly couldn’t hold herself back from taking him right here and now in the car.

‘The curse of having a beauty! In ancient times, I’d be a fatuous ruler for sure!’

……

The castle was brightly lit up at night and steeped in the thick fragrance of roses.

Shi Sheng was wearing the same black dress as she made her way to the castle, arm-in-arm with Xi Yin.

“Please present your invitation.” The attendant found it strange that there were people still arriving this late.

‘But these two look really good! They simply appear made for each other when they stand next to one another.

En… The woman looks rather familiar too.’

There was no way Shi Sheng could use her own invitation, so she looked at Xi Yin…who could only fall silent. ‘Why are you looking at me? I don’t have an invitation. Okay, it’s not that I didn’t receive one… I just threw it away…’

Shi Sheng, “…”

‘What happened to showing off? Villain-sama, is that face of yours not useful at all?!’

Xi Yin was rather innocent. ‘They’re too low level, so they can’t recognise me!’

While the two communicated silently using their gazes, the attendant looked upon them strangely.

‘Are these people trying to sneak in?’

Shi Sheng felt irritated. ‘Screw trying to show off! We can’t even get inside!’

She took out her phone and called Rui Yi to fetch her.

Rui Yi had probably just escaped from a throng of women, for he currently reeked of perfume and his clothes were all crumpled.

“Lil princess, why’ve you been kept out again?” Rui Yi wanted to give Shi Sheng a bear hug but she hurriedly ducked behind Xi Yin. Rui Yi ground to a halt a hand’s width away from Xi Yin, his expression changing quickly.

He grudgingly put down his arm and performed a nobleman’s greeting. “Lord Xi Yin.”

But in his heart, he was cussing non-stop, ‘Lord Xi Yin, my foot! Can’t even enter on his own! My lil princess is only going to suffer if she’s with him! This won’t do! I have to straighten out her three views and make her switch to a good man!’

Xi Yin’s lips lifted slightly. “No need to be so polite, big brother-in-law.”

‘Da hell? What’s with calling me big brother-in-law?’

Rui Yi lifted his head to look at Shi Sheng, who returned him a smile that caused her eyes to curve upwards and raised her wrist.

When Rui Yi saw the object on her wrist, his expression changed once more. Now, his gaze couldn’t help but contain more scrutiny as he looked at Xi Yin.

He straightened out his clothes and posture, put on a stern expression, and spoke in a formal tone, “Call me that a couple more times.”

Shi Sheng, “…”

‘Why is your reaction so weird?’

Xi Yin felt a bit speechless at Rui Yi’s reaction as well, but still called him a couple more times. After all, Rui Yi was part of her family. Although they weren’t her blood family, it appeared she rather liked them.

Shi Sheng cast a queer look at Xi Yin. ‘This villain-sama is very down to earth ah!’

“Fine, fine. Don’t think I’ll accept you just because you called me brother-in-law! I’m telling you, if you wrong my lil princess in any way, I’ll skin you!” Rui Yi brought the two of them inside, leaving behind the confused attendant.

‘That was Lady Mi Nai? Didn’t she arrive ages ago? When did she leave? And how come we didn’t notice? Also, when did Lady Mi Nai have a partner???’
