"This is..." After Sikong Mo replied, Ye Jiu’s eyes instantly brightened.
Then the light in her eyes dimmed slightly as she looked at Sikong Mo and asked, "I wonder if Young Master Sikong is busy today?"
"Hmm?" Sikong Mo raised his eyebrows.
Ye Jiu explained, "It’s , the Liu Family took over my Soap Formula, and to compensate me, the Prince gifted me a hot spring villa, which I haven’t had a chance to see yet!"
Ye Jiu’s eyes easily betrayed her thoughts.
And surely, Sikong Mo was naturally obliging when it came to Ye Jiu’s rare requests.
The girl in front of him was far from ordinary, making him, the War King, often feel utterly superfluous in her presence.
At the same time, the more he understood about her, the more Sikong Mo worried that he wouldn’t be able to match her.
After all, there was indeed a significant age gap between them.
"I happen to be free today, and since you wish to visit, I will accompany you." As Sikong Mo spoke, he pulled on the reins forcefully and soon the horse sped ahead.
"Thank you, Young Master Sikong..." Because of their speed, Ye Jiu’s voice was somewhat scattered by the wind, but it still clearly reached Sikong Mo’s ears.
As it happened, the distance between the two villas was not far, and in less than the time it took to drink a cup of tea, Sikong Mo had already stopped.
Sikong Mo dismounted and then assisted Ye Jiu down.
The villa’s gate was open; Ye Jiu walked straight to the guard, "My name is Ye Jiu, I just took over this villa a few days ago, I am its new owner now, and I will need to trouble you both to take me to meet the manager."
The two guards exchanged a glance, and then one of them nodded and said, "Please wait a moment, honored guest, while I go and report your arrival."
Though they hadn’t received any orders from above, the two in front of them were dressed in fine clothes and their demeanour was even more extraordinary.
Especially the gentleman in black, with an expressionless face, just one glance from a distance was enough to strike fear into one’s heart, creating an impulse to kneel.
Otherwise, if Sikong Mo weren’t with her, the two guards would not have been so courteous in going to report, because in most cases , it’s all about swindling and deceit, and they would be driven away immediately.
Yet, even though someone had been sent to report, the manager still hadn’t appeared.
What a joke, this was the magnificent villa of the Prince, how could it suddenly change hands?
Even if the villa really did change owners, he couldn’t possibly not have received an order from above.
Therefore, the manager didn’t take Ye Jiu’s arrival seriously at all and even scolded the servant, telling him to drive away these swindlers.
If one wanted to deceive, they should at least look at the place they’re targeting; how could a villa belonging to the Royal Residence be so easily swindled with just a few words?
The servant who went to report came back with a sour expression, and his eyes towards Ye Jiu were growing increasingly unfriendly.
However, due to the imposing aura of Sikong Mo standing behind Ye Jiu, he dared not speak disrespectfully.
At this moment, he didn’t know that because he had not overstepped his bounds, he was saving his own life.
"Our manager said that there hasn’t been any notice from above about the villa changing hands, so the lady should leave," said the servant, his eyes nearly outright calling them fraudsters.
After hearing this, Ye Jiu’s first thought was whether the Prince was deliberately making fun of her.
"I’ve troubled Young Master Sikong with this visit, let’s go," said Ye Jiu as she turned back to Sikong Mo.
Looking at the young lady in front of him, Sikong Mo couldn’t bear to see her so aggrieved, "Jiujiu, if you wish to..."
