Chapter 642: You will be the greatest king (1)
The tips of her hair were still wet and stuck to her forehead and ears.
Yu Xi looked away after a glance, not looking at Si Huang’s slightly flushed face after taking a shower.
The two of them went to the parking lot together and happened to bump into Chu Heng, who was also preparing to leave.
The other party was about to get into the car. When he saw Si Huang, his expression changed. Then, without saying a word, he got into the trunk.
Obviously, the so-called worship was fake. After falling out with no one else, Chu Heng did not even pretend.
“Si Huang, will he cause trouble?” Yu Xi watched Chu Heng’s car drive out and thought of the way he looked at Si Huang before he got into the car. It was filled with negative emotions.
“He can’t cause any trouble .” Si Huang said nonchalantly and opened the car door to get in.
Yu Xi heard this and sighed that it was fortunate that Chu Heng had left first. Otherwise, after hearing what Si Huang said, he would probably be angry again.
He sat in the driver’s seat and started the car to drive to the hotel.
This area was within the boundaries of the film studio. It wasn’t a holiday, so there weren’t many passersby. It was very convenient to drive.
Yu Xi opened the car with ease and diverted his attention to ask Si Huang,” How did Chu Heng offend you today?”
“He used his strength when he stabbed me.” Si Huang replied calmly, knowing what he was asking.
Yu Xi’s expression changed. He thought of the filming situation and asked nervously,”Are you injured?”
“No, I haven’t.” Si Huang’s light tone carried a hint of contempt.
Yu Xi understood that with Si Huang’s skills, ordinary people would not be able to succeed in such a situation.
“What is he thinking? Even if he succeeds, isn’t he afraid that you will expose him?”
Si Huang leaned against the back of the chair and stretched his long legs as much as he could.” When the time comes, say that I was too nervous or that I’m guessing my personality. I won’t take off my clothes in public to show others my injuries.”
After hearing this, Yu Xi realized that this situation was really possible. After all, he had been by Phoenix Si’s side for so long and had never seen his body. The only time he was exposed was when he was filming Ace’s portrait in the pool.
When she thought of Ace’s portrait, Yu Xi suddenly remembered what James had asked her to do.” Oh right, James told me that Ace has recently returned to Country Y to attend a private gathering. From what he said, he wants you to be Ace’s male companion to accompany her.”
Si Huang raised his head. Ace was the young lady of Mephistopheles ‘family. There was no reason for him to not be able to find a male partner to attend a private event. However, he had to find her. This was a subtle matter.
“I said I wanted to ask for your opinion first.”
He looked up at the rearview mirror and saw that Si Huang was thinking about something. He continued,” This matter seems to have been decided by Ace himself. James said that if you’re interested, you should call him back as soon as possible. You can talk to Ace.”
Originally, this was not a small matter, but he had almost forgotten. It was all his fault for being distracted by Si Huang’s acting and the small interlude that happened during the filming.
“Give me the phone,” Si Huang said.
Yu Xi took out his phone from his pocket and handed it to Si Huang.
Si Huang took it and found James ‘number.
The other party didn’t seem to be in a hurry. He picked up the call after only two rings.” Hello, Feather, is there a result of the matter I asked you to do?”
“Hi, James, it’s me.” Si Huang said.
“K! Oh my god, you actually called me personally. It seems that you agreed!”
“Wait a minute.” Si Huang did not fall into his trap. He smiled.” I still have some questions. I want you to answer them.”
“Give me the phone. I’ll talk.” A familiar girl’s clear voice entered Si Huang’s ears. Ace should have heard it when James answered the phone.
Si Huang waited for a few seconds before he heard Ace’s clear voice from the phone.” Hello, K.”
“Hello, Little Ace.” Si Huang smiled.
“Don’t call me ‘Xiao’.” Ace said seriously.
However, Si Huang felt that the little girl would only look cuter when she was serious.” Alright, my dear Ace, I think you should explain the purpose of this private gathering to me. Only then can I decide if I should accompany you on this trip.”
When it came to business, Ace’s tone softened a lot.” It’s just a gathering between nobles.”
Si Huang did not reply.
“Of course, it’s not that simple,” Ace continued.
Si Huang said,”Could it be that you want to find a candidate for your husband through the gathering?” Oh, it’s still too early. How old are you?”
“What are you talking about?!” Ace blushed and shouted angrily.
Then, she heard a pleasant laugh coming from the phone. Only then did she know that she had been played. The other party was just teasing her with evil intentions.
Ace was both angry and depressed. However, her previous low mood had disappeared unknowingly. She said more bluntly,” It’s not for marriage, but the nature is similar. The family hopes that I can control someone.”
“Who is it?” Si Huang asked.
“I can’t say that.” Ace’s tone softened.” I can’t be sure if I’ll be taken in by that person, but I don’t want to be completely controlled. If I let my family accompany me, he’ll definitely think of ways to make me stand out, so I fought for the chance to choose my own male partner.”
Si Huang sighed.” Ace, I don’t have a family to protect me.”
Ace lowered his voice.” I know. I don’t want you to block the target for me. I just want you to help me block the flies outside the target. Other than the target, no one else in this gathering dares to be impudent to Mephield. It’s just that pursuing is always allowed, so I can’t be rude.”
It was not the first time Si Huang had been pulled to be a shield by a woman. She could hear the sincerity in Ace’s words, but this information was not enough.” Ace, this will not benefit me at all. It might even cause me a lot of trouble.”
“Yes, I understand.” Ace’s tone was serious.” I know that I can’t trust you even if I promise you now. It was wrong of me to think of you, but I don’t know why I still chose you. If you’re unwilling, it’s fine.”
“Is it really nothing?”
“Yes, I will find other candidates.”
“Alright then.” Si Huang sighed.
Ace lowered his eyes and was already waiting to hang up the phone. James, who was beside her, looked at her with concern.
“I promise you.” A low and melodious voice sounded in her ears.
Ace was stunned and his eyes widened.” What?”
Si Huang didn’t repeat what he said before.” The gathering is in the next few days, right?”
“Yes.” Ace was still not fully awake.” I’ll fly to Country Y tomorrow.”
“It’s a pity that I still have work tomorrow and can’t pick you up.” Si Huang smiled,” But I look forward to the next time we meet. I will treat you to ice cream.”
