Chapter 223
Jiang You stared at Theodore, his face puffed up like a steamed bun, almost saying, "Are you alright?"
He seemed to realize he had gone too far, his eyes darted around, and he hummed twice without saying a word.
“Every time I chat with Gary, you come out and cause trouble,” Jiang You said. “What exactly are you trying to do?”
"No, you're overthinking it," Theodore said, turning his head to the side and looking into the distance.
Is she overthinking things?!
Jiang You: "..."
"Fine, don't tell me then," she said, turning to leave. The next second, her wrist was grabbed.
On the castle's stained glass windows, the intricate religious patterns, interwoven with cobalt blue and crimson gold, resemble a frozen epic. Sunlight penetrates this variegated layer, stretching Theodore's shadow long and thin.
His translucent golden eyes lowered as he looked at her: "You still haven't told me what you're doing with that freckled... guy named Jia something, always hanging out with him."
Jiang You was stunned for a moment, then pursed his lips tightly, but still couldn't help but smile up at him.
Theodore frowned: "What are you laughing at?"
Jiang You couldn't help but laugh, but still didn't say anything.
What was he laughing at? He was a little annoyed, and just as he was about to say something, the girl leaned closer and tilted her head: "Theodore, are you jealous?"
The sound stopped abruptly when she saw the straw ring she had pulled out.
Jiang You grabbed her wrist and, before Theodore could react, slipped the straw ring onto his little finger.
Theodore stared wide-eyed in slow motion, looking like a broken machine, completely frozen: "You... you've been busy with this these past few days?"
"Yes, I didn't expect rings to be so difficult to weave."
Jiang You released Theodore's hand. "When I asked Gary about the situation here, I learned that she could make up all sorts of things, so I asked her for some advice. Was it alright?"
Theodore stretched out his hands, his gaze tracing the ring inch by inch: "...Hmm, it's barely acceptable."
"Hehe, just make do with this for now. I'll buy you a real ring when we get out."
Theodore looked up and met clear, dark eyes. How fragrant! Even more fragrant than she was under the fruit tree that day. It must be very sweet.

Aether Global Holdings is located in the heart of the City of London.
The all-glass curtain wall uses custom-made cool gray tempered glass, reflecting the city skyline.
In the top-floor reception room, Lindbergh Theodore suddenly raised his hand and touched his chest, his heart pounding.
The man opposite, named Xia Yan, casually asked, "What's wrong?"
Lindbergh Theodore lowered his hand and smiled: "It's nothing. I'll have someone investigate Ms. Jiang You, and I'll let you know as soon as there's any news."
"What utterly unlucky! She's my soon-to-be wife," Xia Yan's eyes curved into a gentle smile, his amber pupils like frosted glass. "How could something like this happen..."
“No,” Song Yun, who had been silent, spoke softly, “she is mine.”
The meeting room fell silent. Lindbergh Theodore raised an eyebrow, glanced at Xia Yan whose smile had faded, and then stopped at Song Yun's innocent and docile pretty face.
Lindbergh Theodore remained silent; he certainly didn't see Song Yun as an innocent little rabbit.
You should know that the people who kidnapped Ms. Jiangyou have all disappeared. They were handled by Song Yun, and I heard that their fate was extremely tragic.
Lu Shi'an: "......"
Xia Yan would seize every opportunity to assert his dominance, Song Yun would retort without considering the situation, and there was also Shen Yi'an stirring up trouble and fanning the flames outside.
Because Jiang You disappeared, the few people who had temporarily cooperated scattered after just a few steps, without even a breeze.
It's already in a precarious situation before it even starts; internal fighting is about to break out.
Lu Shi'an took a deep breath. Who told him to like Jiang You? This was his retribution. Resigned, he stepped forward to smooth things over, saying, "We would be very grateful to Mr. Theodore if we found Jiang You."
After saying that, he hinted to Xia Yan and Song Yun that the most important thing now was to find Jiang You.
“Haha, what’s the big deal?” Lindbergh Theodore laughed.
Half an hour later, Xia Yan and the others left the reception room and arrived at Shen Yi'an's villa.
"How is it?" Shen Yi'an asked.
Xia Yan and Song Yun each found a seat and sat down. Lu Shi'an said, "There's no mistake, Jiang You is in the castle and manor of the Theodore family."
He frowned after speaking: "There's a very strange point. The gang that kidnapped Jiang You initially sent him to Myanmar. We don't know what happened that led to him getting involved with Theodore and his group."
Shen Yi'an fiddled with his phone: "What does it matter? Now we know the location of Jiangyou, isn't that enough?"
Lu Shi'an shook his head: "I'm afraid it's..."
He didn't finish his sentence, but everyone present knew that it was Jiang You's abilities that were causing the problem.
His smile grew wider and wider: "Just snatch it away, isn't that exciting?"
Xia Yan smiled without saying a word, Song Yun nodded, Lu Shi'an shrugged, and none of the people on the laptops on the table who were having a video call objected.
Meanwhile, Lindbergh saw the guests off, returned to his office, and dialed his brother's number.
Upon learning that there really was a woman named Jiang You, Lindbergh Theodore asked his brother to send her over, but was unexpectedly refused.
