Chapter 667: Who Attacked Who?
Ace had no reason to reject Ivana’s suggestion out of concern, unless he wanted to expose the truth of his feigning illness and fall out with Ivana.
She was brought to the nearest room and laid on the bed. She reached out and grabbed the hand of Si Huang, who was covering her with a blanket.
Ivana’s gaze lingered on their hands for a second.” I’ve already sent someone to get a doctor,” she said gently.” He’ll be here soon.”
Ace pursed his lips and cursed himself in his heart for being an idiot. He actually dug a hole for himself to jump into. Not only could he not leave immediately, but he also had to face the doctor’s examination later.
“Thank you, Count Jasper.” Ace was in a bad mood, and his expression was not any better. However, he had an explanation for her unwell expression, so no one would suspect anything.” I want to talk to K alone.”
Sick children always had the privilege of being willful. Even if Ivana was dissatisfied, she could not refuse a patient’s request. He nodded and turned around to leave.
After Yi Fan left, Ace was full of words, but when he saw Si Huang’s face, he didn’t know what to say.
Seeing the little girl’s conflicted look, Si Huang sat sideways on the bed and took the initiative to ask: ” Is it a stomachache?”
“No, I’m fine.” Ace saw Si Huang’s genuine concern and felt even more embarrassed.” I was just pretending.”
Si Huang was surprised and did not believe Ace immediately. He first sized her up and realized that other than her expression being a little ugly, there was no longer any sign of discomfort or forbearance. Only then did he more or less confirm that what Ace said was true.” Why?”
“I wanted to leave the party early on the grounds that I was sick.” Ace frowned even more when he thought about how his plan had failed and had even tricked him.
A warm and delicate touch landed on his brows, causing Ace to loosen his brows involuntarily. He looked up and saw the face in front of him.
“Didn’t you want to attack the Earl? Why did you suddenly give up?”
Ace could hear the gentle teasing in his words.” I’m afraid that the Earl isn’t targeting me,” he said angrily.” He’s targeting you!”
Si Huang was stunned. He did not expect Ace to be so sharp.
When Ace saw this expression, he understood it as another meaning. She grabbed Si Huang’s hand tightly and said seriously,” I can feel that the Earl is not interested in me. He wants to keep you in Country Y.”
Si Huang was really surprised. He thought to himself that he had underestimated this little girl. It turned out that when he had let down his guard, the other party had actually been secretly observing him. Then how much did she see? How much did he know?
Si Huang looked at Ace quietly and smiled without any shrewdness.” This isn’t a bad thing. The Earl has also said that Queen Eliza is helping us because she likes our work. Isn’t this a good thing? You should be happy.”
In the end, this sentence stepped on a landmine. Ace immediately exploded. She sat up and reminded him in disappointment.” If you just like your work, there’s no need to keep you, right?” Besides, the person who really produced this work is Louis. Why didn’t the Earl try to persuade Louis to stay? Why didn’t he persuade me to stay? Why did he choose you?”
Being suppressed by such words, Si Huang was stunned.” What do you mean?”
“Queen Eliza has taken a fancy to you!”
Phoenix Si was wondering if the little girl’s words meant the same thing as what he thought. He and Ace looked at each other silently for a few seconds. The other party’s serious and worried expression made Phoenix Si understand that they really meant the same thing.
“Pfft.” Si Huang couldn’t stop laughing.” Hahaha.”
This wanton laughter made Ace both stunned and annoyed.” Did you understand what I meant? How can you still laugh!”
“I understand, I understand.” Si Huang’s laughter did not stop as he patted Ace’s head.” It’s just that little Ace, Queen Eliza is only sixteen years old.”
“K! Don’t forget, I’m only fourteen years old. If even I know something, do you think the Queen of England doesn’t?” Seeing that the person in front of him did not have any sense of danger, Ace was furious.
Si Huang touched his nose after being looked down upon by a little girl and said helplessly,” Alright, I understand. But Ace, you’re thinking too much. I’m glad you care about me so much. I’ll take note of this. You have to believe that I won’t become the Queen’s man.”
Ace thought,” Of course I believe you won’t be willing. It’s just that there are many things in this world that don’t depend on whether you’re willing or not. In the face of power, many people will be forced to do so.”
