Yan Xi listened to the desperate cries behind him, covered his chest, and ran aimlessly until he could run no more. He stopped panting and leaned weakly against a pillar in front of a nearby shop.
Seeing this, System 5555 roughly guessed what had happened and asked weakly, "Host, don't you want to go back and take a look? The male protagonist is crying so sadly..."
Yan Xi: “Yeah.”
Hmm? What does Hmm mean?
System 5555 wanted to ask but didn't dare.
He noticed that Yan Xi's emotions were very unstable, and he was afraid that speaking any further would irritate him, so he simply kept quiet.
Mmp, so embarrassing. On one side is the male protagonist, and on the other side is the son of my immediate boss. I dare not say a word at all.
Yan Xi's mind was buzzing and blank. The boy's heart-wrenching screams echoed in his ears. His heart felt like it was being crushed by someone and was numb with pain.
I'm sorry... I'm really sorry for leaving you alone again... But I need time... to learn to convince myself.
Yan Xi didn't dare to walk too far. There was a pavilion in the middle of a lake nearby, so he sat inside, quietly, staring blankly in the direction of the restaurant.
But he didn't notice that there was someone not far away who was looking at him quietly, his eyes never leaving him.
Do you just... like him that much?
Even though I knew that person was my blood relative, I still felt uneasy.
Li Yancheng clenched his hands slightly at his sides.
He took a deep breath, forced himself to suppress the jealousy in his heart, and slowly walked over.
Yan Xi was in a daze and didn't notice that there was another person next to him until a deep voice sounded above his head, "Yan Xi, are you okay?"
Yan Xi's eyelashes fluttered slightly, as if she had come to her senses. She raised her head and glanced at him quickly, then stood up and saluted. Her tone was polite yet distant, "He Yan Xi greets His Majesty."
Seeing his indifference, Li Yancheng narrowed his eyes and said, "You don't need to be so polite in front of me. Just treat me as an ordinary person."
Yan Xi's face was expressionless, as if possessed by a nagging spirit. "The prince is the prince, how can he be an ordinary person?"
Li Yancheng choked up, "In front of you, I am just an ordinary person, not a prince."
Yan Xi said "oh" indifferently, then ignored him and lay on the railing by herself.
Li Yancheng pursed his lips, sat beside him, and accompanied him without saying a word.
He didn't leave for a long time, and Yan Xi couldn't help but look at him again, "Your Highness, aren't you leaving?"
Li Yancheng looked at his still red eyes, lowered his eyes and said, "I stayed to accompany you."
"I'm fine and don't need anyone to accompany me. Your Highness is very busy, so it's better for him to go back and rest early." Yan Xi turned around and no longer looked at his face.
Li Yancheng didn't know that he was trying to get rid of him. He didn't know what to say for a moment. He stood up silently and looked at him for a long time before saying, "Sorry."
He threw down some incomprehensible words and slowly left.
Yan Xi's tense heart relaxed. Looking in the direction of the restaurant, he fell into despair again, with confusion in his eyes.
Not knowing what he was thinking of, he suddenly sat up straight, his hands trembling slightly.
If they really had that kind of relationship, then why could Lou Jinchuan marry He Youyi in the original plot?
How could He Wei easily agree to marry her daughter to him?
No, no, there must be some misunderstanding here.
It was all because he was too excited and forgot about it for a moment.
No, he has to find out!
Yan Xi's heart was beating like thunder. He stood up in a hurry and rushed to a place using his lightness skills.
Soon, he came to a teahouse and took out a jade pendant and showed it to the shopkeeper.
When the shopkeeper saw him, his eyes became respectful and he hurriedly took him to a private room on the second floor.
The shopkeeper knocked on the door and a woman's lazy voice came from inside, "What's the matter?"
"Miss Hongling, the young master is here."
Hearing this, the people inside stood up and opened the door themselves.
The other person was dressed in red and had a gorgeous face. Seeing Yan Xi, who was also dressed in red, she was slightly stunned and a little amused, "Young Master, are you running away from your marriage?"
Yan Xi looked at her indifferently, his eyes dim, completely different from his usual bright eyes.
Realizing this, Miss Hongling put away her smile and stepped aside to make way. "Please come in, sir."
Yan Xi walked in, and the shopkeeper considerately closed the door and stood guard outside.
"I need you to help me investigate something and give me the news as soon as possible." Yan Xi said in a deep voice: "I trust you to do this matter. I hope you won't let me down."
The red-rimmed girl lowered her head slightly and said, "Sir, please speak. I will give you an answer as soon as possible."
"Help me investigate the deceased Qin Wangfei Lou Wang and He Wei... Also, the background of He Wei's daughter He Youyi needs to be investigated... This matter must not be made known to anyone else."
Miss Hongling said seriously, "I obey your command."
