Everyone responded loudly.
Nangong Jue then looked at Byron: "I'm going to change my clothes. Do you need me to prepare a room for you?"
“I’ve already booked a room,” Byron shrugged. “But just remember to have the front desk refund my room fee when the time comes.”
"You wish!" Nangong Jue said, pulling Le Yao away.
Ai Chen watched their retreating figures, feeling nothing but anger.
Byron glanced at Ai Chen and laughed: "A-Jue, you shouldn't even think about it. You should hurry up and find a man to marry."
"Heh." Ai Chen glanced at Byron. "You talk as if you can even imagine." Then, she suddenly leaned close to Byron's ear and lowered her voice, "If the Duke knew that you also had feelings for him, wouldn't he be disgusted with you?"
“Go ahead and tell them,” Byron said, not caring at all. “All the outside world knows is that I’m the one pursuing you.”
"you……"
"Haha..." Byron leaned over and kissed Ai Chen's cheek, then turned and left.
Ai Chen wanted to get angry, but then she realized that her stomach seemed to be aching again, so she took a few deep breaths to suppress her anger.
The banquet had now resumed with soothing music, and everyone had returned to their previous state.
Nangong Jue pulled Le Yao back to the room, then dragged her into the bathroom for a nearly one-hour bath together before carrying her back to bed.
Le Yao's toes were numb from all the tossing and turning, but her mind remained clear because she was still very curious about Byron's identity.
"Aren't you tired?" Nangong Jue hugged Le Yao as they lay down on the bed. "Why don't you go to sleep first..."
"I'm not tired. Tell me, I'm so curious. After all, you're royalty, it sounds pretty impressive..."
“Alright.” Nangong Jue nodded. “If we’re going to talk about him, we have to talk about the Mei family… Do you know how I got injured before?”
"Could this be Mei Yehan's doing?" Le Yao frowned.
Nangong Jue nodded: "He was the one who fired that bullet. Actually, I've been on guard against him, but I never expected him to actually kill me..." He still acted impulsively.
Le Yao's face was very pale: "Why?" After asking, she suddenly realized, "If I can't say, then I won't. I was just asking casually."
“Hmm.” Nangong Jue nodded. “The Mei family was originally involved in organized crime. The Plum Blossom Gang was once very powerful. Later, Mei Zelin, Mei Yehan’s grandfather, was hunted down, so he took his wife and children to Southeast Asia. From there, they went to Country Y. Because they were wealthy, they made contact with the royal family. All the eligible men and women in the Mei family started marrying into local noble families. Mei Andy, Mei Yehan’s father, was particularly handsome and eloquent, so he was very popular with women and captivated Princess Diana of the royal family…”
“The Mei family established businesses locally and married a princess, so they were granted the title of Baron, a hereditary one.” Nangong Jue smiled. “Byron is Princess Diana’s half-brother…”
"No wonder." Le Yao nodded.
"Let's not talk about him anymore. Since you're not tired, let's continue..." Nangong Jue said, then leaned in again.
After Byron entered the room, his men searched every corner of it, and only left after finding no suspicious devices.
Byron then took out his phone and dialed a number in country Y: "Dear elder sister..."
