The Princess And The Lord

The celebration finally comes to ends, Zhao Li Xin is half-awake through all the event he sighs in relief when Xie Hui Rong left and so the guest excused one by one. Zhao Li Xin left unhurried through the residence main gate but suddenly someone called him.

"Lu Xin" such a sweet endearing voice calls him.

Zhao Li Xin frown as he turns around, turn out is Nan Yu Qi with her two maids follow behind her "Miss Nan" Zhao Li Xin bows his head slightly.

Nan Yu Qi calmly walks towards him, the women exude confident and elegant as she smiles gently at him "Walks with me" she said without slowing down. Zhao Li Xin feel swallow his irked then follow her behind while the other two maids keep their distance from both of them because they know their lady wants to talk privately.

"From now on you will serve me and fourth brother Xie, as long you loyal to us I will treat you fairly," said Nan Yu Qi.

"Who should I obey if both you give me different orders," said Zhao Li Xin indifferently.

Nan Yu Qi dissatisfied listening to his bland reaction, she pursed her lips as she said teasingly "What about you, who do you think you need to listen to?" she curiously glances at him she wishes he would say 'her' but disappointedly Zhao Li Xin didn't bother with her small jokes.

"May young miss enlightened me.." he said in a serious manner.

Nan Yu Qi feel dejected, this man is to stiff and strict like a pole. She never sees him smiles, angry or flustered such a boring man but strangely she doesn't hate it, she sighs heavily "Just listen to me…"

"Understood" he replies shortly.

Nan Yu Qi was vexed she never treated coldly by the opposite sex before, everyone always caters to her wish and tries to pleased her this the first time he faces anyone indifferent to her existence but this man is married, she wonders how he treats his wives although the rumor said he treats his wife like a servant, but still, she can't imagine someone distant like him would keep a woman close to him if he doesn't have a certain feeling to that woman, suddenly she feel her heart prick by a needle.

Is a weird feeling because she never feel this way not even with Xie Hua Ling, secretly she was bewildered by her own feeling.

"About your wife…why she doesn't work for me, I heard she good with labor job, she can work in my manor by then you don't have to worry to feed her or given her clothing, she also can earn some money so she will not burden you" her word is kinds and feel with concern but the truth is she wants to separate Lory from Zhao Li Xin for some reason she didn't want them live in the same roof.

On the other hand, Zhao Li Xin takes a long deep breath to control his rage, he cursed Nan yu Qi with every hideous name he knows in his head. She wants to make his beloved princess work as a servant in her house! Not even him dare to order her around, the hardest job he ever gives to Lory is bring wine for him and that's it.

Even when he still found out her real identity Zhao Li Xin never wrong her, he treats her like a precious pearl, he loves, doting and pampered her to the moon and back and yet this wretched woman wants his Lory to wash his clothes.

'OVER MY DEAD BODY!'

"Unnecessary, she's not smart enough, and if she's gone who will take care of me" Zhao Li Xin maintains his cool while speak casually. He will never let Lory out of his sight, who is he going to hold at night if she's not there.

Nan Yu Qi brows furrows, she didn't think Zhao Li Xin would refuse her idea "Are you sure, I could give you male servant" she persuades him again.

"I don't trust other people easily" he replies coldly.

Nan Yu Qi feel sour deep in her heart, but she quickly presses her feeling "So, you trust her?" she looks at Zhao Li Xin with probing eyes.

He ignores her deep gaze "I know her ability, he wouldn't betray me" he said firmly without a hint of hesitation.

She can't ignore the pain roused within her as her chest suddenly becomes tight "It seems you didn't treat her too bad after all…" she smiles in discontent.

Zhao Li Xin frown as his danger alarm ringing, he failed to notice Nan Yu Qi's ambiguous behavior towards him but he didn't miss the possibility of his princess in danger.

Nan Yu Qi didn't push further, they stop when they arrived in front of the carriage before she enters the carriage she turn around and speak "I need you to watch Chen Hu Ying, I think he make contact with someone report to me once you know it" she lifts to her carriages after she gives her order.

Zhao Li Xin watches the carriage disappear in a distance, his expression becomes stern as he felt a slight animosity from Nan yu Qi to Lory but he doesn't know why. What motivates Nan Yu Qi to hate the woman she only saw once, Zhao Li Xin clicks his tongue it seems he needs to hasten his plan before something bad happened to Lory.

Zhao Li Xin left the main road, he turns to the corner and walks to the small alley suddenly he halted his paces "Mong Gui" he called in low voice.

Someone suddenly jumps from above and kneel in front of him "Your servant is here!"

"Send the news to Mon Yi and Mong Ki, prepare the shadow guards to infiltered cloud city in a few days ?" Zhao Li Xin rests his hand behind his back.

Mong Gui surprised because cloud city highly guards is not easy to get inside that's why there are only five Hei Shen members in the whole city "You have an idea Milord?" he will not question his Lord's ability.

"Hm…send the news" Zhao Li Xin raised his hand to sign Mong Gui to leave.

"Right away Milord!" he excitedly said, but then he remembers something important "Milord, Yu Rui said a year ago Mo Ning Yuan was committed suicide but she was saved by mysterious woman, that woman even stay in aMong Manor for a few weeks before she disappeared"

"What woman?" he narrowed his eyes.

Mong Gui hakes his head "We don't know milord, Yu Rui said the woman always wears a white mask and always called lady by everyone, but Yu Rui have accidentally had a glance of the lady's face, she only saw her side feature but Yu Rui sure the women are very beautiful as a fairy"

Suddenly Lao Min Na face flashed in his mind 'Could it be?' he laments to himself. Zhao Li Xin rubs his jawlines as he pondering then suddenly he lifts his head "Is that woman wear a ring, a green jade ring in her middle finger?"

Mong Gui squint his gaze as he tries to remember what Yu Rui said, then he helplessly shakes his head "Please forgive this servant, I have to question Yu Rui about this"

"Do that and report everything that woman do once she stayed at the Mo residence" he lifts his chin as he gives orders sternly.

"Yes, Milord!" he cupped his fist firmly. 

"Go" Zhao Li Xin waves his hand carelessly.

Mong Gui nods his head then he takes a long leap to the roof and disappeared in a dark night. Zhao Li Xin was left alone his expression turn sullen, he wonders if it's Lao Min Na again?

Why she always in his ways, wherever he goes, whatever he does, Lao Min Na will stand in his ways. Zhao Li Xin was vexed once he heard that woman's names. Since the first time he met her it feel there's an invisible connection between them, he feel terribly upset to have any connection to such woman not to mention it also feels disgusting.

He can't help but blamed himself for not killed Lao Min Na when he had the chance, how would he knows this insignificant woman will infuriate him again, and again, she even has the audacity to hurt his beloved princess repeatedly, and he still unable to avenged Lory grieve after all this time, such a great husband he is.

It was a grave mistake he will never repeat again. He promises himself that he would kill Lao Min Na next time they meet again, Zhao Li Xin gritted his teeth exasperatedly.

Lory was eating her dinner with Girsha when Zhao Li Xin enters the room with dreadful expression. He pushes the door harshly as he grumbles "I should have killed them all!"

Lory chopstick froze in the air, then she turned her head to the door "Welcome back, Darling!" she cheerfully greets him.
