BXBX NOVEL Chapter 65.2
Yan Ning Luo looked at the man’s longing gaze and felt her chest becoming stifled and stuffed up, an uncomfortable feeling. When they returned back to the main hall, the atmosphere from earlier was gone and everyone seemed to have lost the mood to enjoy the delicacies.
Seeing that the atmosphere was getting highly oppressive, Baili Ji Ran just could not hold himself back from asking: "That young lady just now..... is really the person you were searching for?"
Qing Ye Li looked at him, and just went: "Mm." without any expression.
"But, doesn’t she look rather different from the person in the painting?" Baili Ji Ran then asked puzzledly.
"An accident occured." Qing Ye Li did not explain it any further, but just brushed it off with that statement.
"I can’t help but wonder, as this younger sister of mine usually remains at home and seldom goes out, how did the Duke of Vast Sea become acquainted with her."
Yan Ning Luo just could not make herself believe that the man she had loved all this time would be so fond of the person she had hated so much. Based on their conversation earlier, Qing Ye Li had always been searching for her and he had been doing that for a long time. Then under all of that..... what kind of things could have happened that she did not know about?
The answer to this question burning in Yan Ning Luo, was not one that only Yan Ning Luo sought to know, but one that everyone present would be curious about.
However, the man was truly cold and emotionless to everyone else besides Qing Yu. "This is the personal business of this Duke here and it is not convenient to divulge anything."
It was feared that the fact that Yan Ning Luo likes Qing Ye Li was known only to Yu Xiao Ning, a close friend who had grown up together with her and there was nothing they could not talk to each other about. Hence, when Qing Ye Li threw out that cold and distant statement, Yu Xiao Ning had cast a worried glance towards Yan Ning Luo, to see her gaze turn dark for an instant, and her hand that was placed on the table tighten its grip.
That cold face was one that Baili Ji Ran had seen a lot of times and he thought nothing of it but went on to say with a mischievous look on his face: "It was the first time I saw you being so pa.s.sionate! I thought I saw you embrace her so tightly didn’t you? Hahaha....."
Qing Ye Li continued to look at him expressionlessly till Baili Ji Ran shushed up.
[Sheesh! Do you have to look so terrifying? Can’t you take a joke? Was there a need to look at him like he was about to be exterminated?]
Qing Ye Li ignored that gaze so filled with mournful aggrievement and just opened his mouth to say: "Xin Yan, tell the guards to prepare themselves when we get back. We will be returning to the Water Edge in two days’ time."
Once those words came out, not to mention the others, but even Yue Xin Yan was taken aback. "Why are we suddenly in such a hurry to go? The Green Wave Emperor has invited us to stay for seven days so don’t you think that leaving just after a mere three days might not be very nice?"
"That’s right. Just because you’ve found the person you’ve been looking for, are you so anxious to bring her back to the Water Edge or what?" Baili Ji Ran asked in bewilderment.
[This fella was someone who wouldn’t even step out of their borders for several years when in the Water Edge and that was why the rumours about him grew more and more astounding. Even he himself had last seen the man several years ago and if it wasn’t for the All Saints Festival this day, it was feared that the man would not be seen for another several long years.
"Mm. I want to bring her back to Water Edge." Qing Ye Li said.
Yan Ning Luo could almost no longer maintain that appropriate smile on her face anymore as her fingers flexed and clenched, and she fought to suppress that anger rising in her chest. "Isn’t it rather inappropriate for the Duke of Vast Sea to do that? Yan Qing Yu is a member of our Eternal Peace Duke Manor and you cannot take her away!"
Yu Xiao Ning beside her secretly tugged at Yan Ning Luo who was about to lose control of her emotions and then opened her mouth to say: "That’s right. Regardless of how n.o.ble your ident.i.ty as the Duke of Vast Sea is, a man who stands above all but just one in the Water Edge Kingdom, you cannot take another kingdom’s citizen away as you please. This concerns the diplomatic relations between two kingdoms and you cannot just do whatever you deem fit."
