Ning Meng Yao"s fear of the palace made Xiao Qi Tian suddenly feel dumbfounded: "Meng Yao, my brother"s palace doesn"t eat people. Didn"t you guys want to know what the birthmark signifies? You"ll know if you go to the palace." He couldn"t just simply leave it be.
“We don’t want to know anymore.” The ident.i.ty itself was troublesome, not to mention that the reactions from Xiao Yi Lin and Xiao Qi Tian were too big. She did not feel good about it, so she wasn"t that curious anymore.
If she knew that her question would cause such a scene, she definitely wouldn"t have asked about the birthmark. The saying that curiosity killed the cat was indeed true.
Xiao Qi Tian remained silent as he looked at Ning Meng Yao. These two people were very curious in the beginning, but now they didn"t want to know about it anymore.
“Meng Yao, what exactly are you worried about?"
“Nothing. In short, I don’t want to know anymore.” Ning Meng Yao shook her head. This kind of feeling, naturally she couldn"t let others know about it.
Xiao Qi Tian was helpless in this situation. If she didn’t want to, then he naturally couldn’t force her to go. However, he did think that when he returned to the palace, he must let his brother know about this.
Xiao Qi Tian was not the kind of person that didn"t know what being tactful is. After eating with the couple, Xiao Qi Tian bid them farewell and took his leave.
Initially, he thought of going back to the palace and tell Xiao Qi Feng about the birthmark, but just when he stepped out, he was stopped by the shopkeeper of the restaurant for some matters.
Due to this distraction, Xiao Qi Tian had forgotten about the birthmark. When he had recalled about it, the situation had reached an irremediable level.
After Xiao Qi Tian left, Ning Meng Yao no longer had the mood to continue eating. She leaned into Qiao Tian Chang"s arms, her expression showing obvious signs of frailty.
The way Ning Meng Yao was acting now made Qiao Tian Chang feel very distressed: “Is everything okay?”
“It"s nothing, I just didn"t think that even as an orphan, I would have such an ident.i.ty.” Ning Meng Yao said while laughing at herself.
Qiao Tian Chang held her closer into his embrace, and sighed softly: “Just let it be, don’t think too much about it.”
“I know, but I still feel a little uneasy in my heart.” She had never felt this way before, which made her feel very uncomfortable.
“We"ll just talk about it when the time comes.” He didn’t want Ning Meng Yao to put too much thought on other people. She just had to think about him and it would be okay.
In the Xiao Residence, Xiao Yi Lin was waiting anxiously. He was afraid that he would miss the opportunity in its first moments of appearing.
In his study room, he kept pacing back and forth, then proceeded to sit on a chair. But he didn"t sit for long until he got back and continued to pace back and forth. His restless look and actions made the people, who were secretly watching him, to have some doubts. What"s the matter with our master? Why is he suddenly like this?
“Master, Princess wishes to see you.” When Xiao Yi Lin was still waiting in his room, the head servant suddenly came in and furrowed his eyebrows as he spoke.
Xiao Yi Lin"s eyebrows furrowed tensely and look of displease formed on his face: "What does she want now?"
“I do not know, Princess only said that she wanted to see you.”
“Tell her that I have no time to talk to her now.” He had more important things to handle, he had no time to put up with Li Lin Er.
“This… I don’t think that will do.” The head servant was caught in a bit of a predicament. If there was an alternative option, then he wouldn"t have to look for Xiao Yi Lin.
Xiao Yi Lin frowned: “What happened?”
“Princess said, if Master does not want to see her, she"ll… expose what happened regarding the general"s family.” As for what had happened, everyone was well aware.
Xiao Yi Lin"s expression instantly became gloomy, as if a thunderstorm was happening inside of him. His expression was really ugly.
“Then, I would like to see what does she want with me.” Xiao Yi Lin stormed off coldly toward Li Lin Er"s courtyard.
When Xiao Yi Lin arrived, Li Lin Er looked at Xiao Yi Lin mockingly. Li Lin Er wasn"t surprised at all about his arrival.
“It"s so hard to see you, Lord.” Li Lin Er said as she sneered at Xiao Yi Lin.
Xiao Yi Lin coldly stared at Li Lin Er and said indifferently: “Let"s hear it, what exactly do you want?”
“Get rid of all these people from my yard.” Li Lin Er pointed to the guards around the premises and stated coldly.
Xiao Yi Lin looked at Li Lin Er indifferently: “For what reason should I do that?”
“If you"re not afraid of having the Xiao Residence"s secret be exposed, then you can disagree with my conditions.” Li Lin Er said confidently and stared at Xiao Yi Lin. She was sure that Xiao Yi Lin would definitely agree to her demands in the end.
However, Xiao Yi Lin just looked at her with ridicule in his eyes, as if he was looking at an idiot. Seeing this made Li Lin Er had a bad premonition: “You"re also a person of the Xiao Residence.”
