Jiang Can was speechless: "...I meant 'us'!"

"Not only are you and me treated very well, but Nie Xin is also very good to Sang Qing!"

"Before I met him, I thought that members of the royal family were all high and mighty, but He Jin really changed my opinion. He is very approachable."

"Honey, why do you think this is?"

Why else could it be? It's simply a case of loving the house because of its owner!

He Jin only took care of all the people around Jiang Can because of her!

Ha, I didn't expect him to be such a romantic!

Huo Zhixing took a deep breath, his fingers gripping the chopsticks tightened suddenly, and his knuckles turned white.

However, his expression didn't change much; only beneath those calm and deep eyes lay a turbulent undercurrent.

"Perhaps he wants to win over the Yin family." Huo Zhixing smiled slightly. "The Yin family holds a very important position in Southeast Asia and is related to the Nie family by marriage. If he wins you over, he will naturally have a better chance of inheriting the throne."

"Then why is Heya..."

"That's where He Jin's brilliance lies!" Huo Zhixing said calmly. "He Ya was arrogant and domineering, while He Jin was approachable. Think about it, what kind of monarch do the people of Southeast Asia prefer?"

"His kindness to you may not be genuine; such a person does everything with a purpose."

"The throne is his goal."

"Silly wife," Huo Zhixing affectionately patted her head, "Although you are very smart, you are too emotional. You remember every little kindness others show you and repay them tenfold. How can that be right!"

Jiang Can pursed her lips and remained silent.

"So, from now on, you should stay behind your husband." Huo Zhixing smiled, gently pulled her into his arms, and whispered in her ear in a deep, magnetic voice, "Your husband will protect you."

“Actually, I quite admire that Prince Hejin.” He emphasized each word clearly. “Even if he’s a bit ruthless in his pursuit of the throne, there’s nothing we can do about it. It’s his way of surviving, and we should understand.”

"Mm." Jiang Can nodded seriously, looked up at him, and smiled gently.

Huo Zhixing appeared calm and collected on the surface, but in reality, he was overjoyed.

First, settle Jiang Can in, then go talk to He Jin and test the waters.

If he really had ulterior motives towards Jiang Can, he would definitely twist his head off!

Huo Zhixing grinned and coaxed his wife to continue eating. While smoking, he quickly sent a message to Nie Xin, asking him to help introduce him to Prince Hejin.

...

Nie Xin went to the tailor shop where Sang Qing worked.

This time, the proprietress didn't leave as soon as he arrived, but stared at him intently.

Nie Xin was dressed in all black, wearing large black sunglasses, and with his male model physique, he was a walking embodiment of masculinity.

The proprietress looked at him, and he looked back at her.

Normally, this woman sees him as a gangster who's always ready to demolish houses, but today, her gaze has completely changed!

"I recognize you!" the proprietress laughed heartily. "You're that...that movie star! You've acted in so many movies!"

Nie Xin frowned, abruptly took off his sunglasses, and looked at her.

"Oh my, it really is!"

"Shh..."

"You don't need to shush me!" the proprietress laughed. "Everyone on this street is an old fogey around my age. They don't watch movies or watch entertainment news, so they don't know you at all! But yesterday, I saw my college-aged son watching one of your movies, and that's when I realized you're a movie star!"

Nie Xin's expression was somewhat complicated, but she managed a forced smile at the end.

"You really do deserve to be called an award-winning actor! You're quite convincing as a gangster. I was completely fooled by you before!"

"..."

"Hey," the proprietress said with a gossipy look, "I'm telling you, are you really Sang Qing's boyfriend?"

Nie Xin licked her lips, remaining silent, finding the man annoying.

"What's so great about talking about her!" the landlady pouted. "If you just want to play around with her, I won't allow it! Our Sang Qing is a good girl!"

Nie Xin looked confused: "Your Sang Qing?"

"Is it not mine, or yours?"

"you……"

"I have three sons!"

Nie Xin finally exploded: "Auntie, which eye of yours saw that I was just playing around with her?!"

Sang Qing, who had just entered the room, overheard these words.

She stood at the doorway, stunned for a moment, and almost dropped the pile of clothes she was holding.

Nie Xin and she locked eyes, and the same emotions shone in their eyes.

Sang Qing's heart raced, and she quickly turned her face away, carrying the clothes as she walked towards the proprietress, Zhu Amei. "Aunt Amei, these clothes have all been washed and ironed, and the beads have all been sewn on. You can inform the guests to come and pick them up this afternoon."

"Oh, okay!" Zhu Amei smiled at Sang Qing, "You're so quick and efficient, I trust you the most when it comes to work!"

"Hey, your boyfriend's here to see you!" Zhu Amei whispered earnestly in her ear. "I just deliberately provoked him, and he got angry, saying he wasn't just playing around with you... Hey, I think this guy's alright, maybe we can keep him around and observe him!"

Sang Qing burst out laughing.

Zhu Amei turned and went out, but when she reached the door, she didn't forget to look back at the two of them, showing a loving aunt's smile.

Nie Xin straightened her back, coughed lightly twice, and still looked arrogant.

Have you started preparing for your studies recently?

"Yes, I've already chosen a university," Sang Qing replied softly. "But I work during the day, so I can only study at night."

Working during the day and studying at night... Nie Xin thought to herself, in this way, she should not have time to see the boss's three sons.

He nodded and chuckled, "By the way, Jiang Can received the outfit you made for her last time, and she really liked it."

"I knew she'd like that style!"

"Not only did she like it, but the Queen liked it very much and almost sent her to the palace to work as an embroiderer."

"What?"

Sang Qing looked at him incredulously, "Don't lie to me, how could the Queen possibly want my things!"

"I'm not lying to you."

"this……"

"He really didn't lie to you."

Suddenly a voice came from the doorway.

Sang Qing and Nie Xin were both stunned for a moment.

Following the sound, she saw a completely unfamiliar face. However, the way the person looked at Nie Xin seemed strangely familiar.

"He really didn't lie to you," the man laughed. "Isn't it normal that the Queen took a liking to your fine things?"

Nie Xin's eyes flickered slightly, and she asked in a low voice, "How did you get here?"
