Chapter 40 Xikai.E Peizhen
The E Peizhen family is an old noble family in the Mingao Empire. It belongs to the old clan camp and has many descendants.
Xikai Epeizhen is a direct descendant of the main branch of the Epeizhen family. His father is the current patriarch of the Epeizhen family.
He has both strength and physical strength above 3S, and is the most popular candidate for the next head of the E Peizhen family. He also possesses special light abilities and is the empire's leading high-level light therapist.
He is of noble birth, gifted and capable, and is an absolute child of destiny.
Xikai Epe has been following the second prince Huoqi Rex, who is deeply supported by the old clan, since he was a child. After years of getting along with each other, the two can be considered close friends.
As for why Xikai E Peizhen has such great hostility towards Mu Jiao, it is more because of his sister Ximu E Peizhen.
Xikai.E Peizhen and her sister Ximu.E Peizhen are siblings from the same mother. Due to some accidents when Ximu.E Peizhen was born, she not only lost her mother, but she herself has had a very poor physique since childhood and has to stay in the treatment room every now and then. Xikai.E Peizhen is very doting on this weak sister with poor health.
Ximu Epeizhen had been in love with the Second Prince, Huoqi Rex, since childhood. Strangely enough, this Miss Ximu clearly admired the Second Prince, yet she was not present at the Second Prince's selection of a princess several years ago.
On the contrary, not long after the Second Prince Huo Qi Rex was diagnosed with genetic collapse syndrome, she proposed to her family to marry His Royal Highness the Second Prince.
Unfortunately, Huo Qi later explicitly rejected her, and the matter came to an end.
For years, rumors of Miss Ximu Epezhen's infatuation with the Second Prince, Huoqi Rex, have circulated among the upper classes of the Ming'ao Empire. Many noble ladies have been eager to see when the Second Prince will be moved by her sincerity. However, unexpectedly, a live press conference turned Ximu Epezhen's sincerity into a joke.
Although the photo of the fiancée personally acknowledged by His Royal Highness the Second Prince has not been leaked, at least everyone is sure that it is not Miss Ximu E Peizhen.
…
Ximu.Epeizhen's condition has become extremely bad since she watched the live broadcast of the press conference of His Royal Highness the Second Prince some time ago. Later, she went to the Weiyang Palace of Her Royal Highness the Queen. After returning, she fainted and lay in the treatment chamber. This is why Xikai.Epeizhen did not come to the Second Prince's side immediately.
My sister's condition was really bad. She barely ate or drank these days. Fortunately, he later said...
My sister's condition has improved a little.
Xikai E Peizhen came back a few days ago and has always wanted to meet the fiancée that His Royal Highness the Second Prince mentioned in front of the media.
He had followed His Royal Highness the Second Prince for many years. His Royal Highness was a man of deep thoughts and unconventional methods. Considering the criminals in Xing Territory and the punishments they inflicted, perhaps a more fitting description of His Royal Highness was... unscrupulous.
Such a person could, with a gentle smile, make the lives of those who dared to oppose him a living hell. His wisdom was so great that he could easily see through people's hearts...
When he first learned about his sister's idea, he couldn't support it at all. Such a person can only be respected, not loved...
There was no love in the eyes of His Royal Highness the Second Prince. For so many years, no matter who he faced, criminals, subordinates, or even his father, the current emperor... he had never seen a trace of emotion in Huo Qi Rex's eyes. He used everything he could around him to achieve his goals. Everyone seemed like a chess piece on his chessboard.
He felt sorry for his sister and naturally didn't want her to be with someone without real feelings, but he couldn't help but feel that his sister was too deeply poisoned...
This time when he returned, he had intended to find another opportunity to ask for the Second Prince's favor. He never believed that the Second Prince would have feelings for his fiancée.
But now, he realized that he was probably wrong, and very wrong...
The first thing Xikai looked at when he saw Mu Jiao was her eyes. She had a pair of clear, transparent black eyes. These eyes were so beautiful...
Just now, His Royal Highness the Second Prince refused to close his eyes and rest until he saw this girl, just because she said she had something to talk to him about.
In fact, His Royal Highness the Second Prince was supposed to rest outside after his treatment, but he insisted on coming back. It turned out that he did it just to keep his promise...
All of this shattered Xikai Rex's preconceived notion of the Second Prince. He was adept at reading expressions and had also systematically studied fine-tuned psychology.
A person's eyes often cannot deceive others, nor can their actions and decisions in times of crisis. His awe-inspiring friend has been tempted and fallen into the trap...
I'm afraid he hasn't even realized it yet...
Looking at Mu Jiao, who was sitting on a chair with her back to him, looking after Huo Qi, Xikai Epei's face became increasingly worse. Thinking of his sister...
After a while, he turned around and left...
…
"Huh..." Mu Jiao breathed a sigh of relief. The oppressive feeling from that person just now was too strong, and he finally left.
I don’t know why she is so hostile to me, as if I had stolen her wife… “wife”???
Mu Jiao suddenly stared at Huo Qi's sleeping face. It wasn't what she thought it was?
The man just now had a strong aura, a handsome face, and a certain abstinence. And Brother Qi, he looked so... beautiful?
And just now, when he confirmed that she was the fiancée Huo Qi mentioned, the hostility in his eyes was enough to make her want to shoot a knife...
At this time, the housekeeper came in and asked Mu Jiao if she wanted to go out for something to eat. Mu Jiao said that she had not eaten at noon, but now she had no appetite, so she refused.
Unable to hold back, Mu Jiao secretly asked the butler about the man's identity before he left.
A close friend of Huo Qi since childhood?
The love between childhood sweethearts...
She subconsciously covered her mouth, as if she had discovered some great secret...
Could it be that the reason Brother Huo Qi called her his fiancée was just to...
Oh my god, that would explain everything... Although there are no restrictions on men and women these days, and it's all personal choice, if it happened in the royal family, it would probably have a huge impact...
This is probably why Brother Qi used me as a shield...
But Brother Qi probably didn't have time to tell that person yet. It seems like he misunderstood...
Should I explain myself first? But when I thought about how powerful the man's aura was just now, I felt scared.
Forget it, forget it, I’ll wait until Brother Qi wakes up and then explain. He is not her “wife”, uh... or “husband”?
Mu Jiao sat on the chair and let her imagination run wild. Before she knew it, she fell asleep on the bed.
A lot of time has passed...
…
When Huo Qi woke up and opened his eyes, the first thing he saw was a child sleeping soundly beside his arms.
The eyelashes are so long. Could this child have had eyelashes in his past life? And this little mouth, which unconsciously pouts slightly when sleeping, is so tender and red, so tempting. Huo Qi's hand unconsciously touched it lightly, and it still felt so warm that it made his heart palpitate.
