On the other end of the phone, Arthur, who had a serious look on his face, revealed a faint smile when he heard Chen Meng’er’s crisp voice. “I miss you very much. However, this time, I want to say sorry to you for dragging you into this.”
“Ah, Uncle Arthur, don’t be so polite. I was the one who wanted to follow Yuwen here. By the way, Uncle Arthur, you haven’t informed my grandfather about this, right?” Chen Meng’er carefully asked in Chinese.
“Informed? Not long after you and Xibo were taken away by George’s people, your grandfather called to ask if you had arrived safely,” Arthur said.
“In other words, Uncle Arthur, you told my grandfather the truth?” Chen Meng’er’s face was wrinkled. She didn’t need to think to know that the country must be in chaos at this time.
“Yes, I told him the truth. I don’t dare to lie to your grandfather,” Arthur answered honestly.
“Hey, Uncle Arthur, you don’t dare to lie to my grandfather, but you’re doomed this time.” Chen Meng’er couldn’t help but sigh. This was great… she estimated that George’s manor would really be under her name. “Did my grandfather say when he would come to England?”
“Your grandfather said as soon as possible.” Arthur replied, “Meng’er, don’t be afraid. Just treat it as if you’re a guest in the Kronbo family. Uncle will think of a way to bring you back as soon as possible.” Arthur comforted Chen Meng’er.
“What’s the matter, Uncle Arthur? Take your time. I’m not in a hurry. I still want to stay with the Kronbo family for a few more days. The Kronbo family’s manor is quite beautiful.” Chen Meng’er said in English.
George rolled his eyes at Chen Meng’er’s words.
“Alright, the call time is over. You two can go back and rest.” George ended the call between Chen Meng’er and Arthur before Chen Meng’er said anything that would make him angry.
It was just as Chen Meng’er had guessed. Although George had agreed to cooperate with Peter Buyano and had intercepted Yuwen Jing who had just returned to England. However, he still would not dare to follow Arthur like this. He had torn his skin. This was something that he could see from the very first moment with Arthur.
George was now in a good mood. He had enough chips in his hands to threaten Arthur, and Arthur was in a difficult moment of internal and external trouble. George was sure that Arthur would choose to compromise in the end.
Therefore, Chen Meng’er, Yuwen Jing, and the others were arranged to stay in the best room in the manor except for George’s room. “Meng’er, let me sleep with you,” Yuwen Jing said after hesitating for a long time before entering the room.
“Hm?” Chen Meng’er’s hand on the door handle paused for a moment. “Okay.” Chen Meng’er agreed to Yuwen Jing’s suggestion. Chen Meng’er was a little worried about Yuwen Jing’s safety. Since he had brought it up, how could she not agree?
Yuwen Jing did not expect Chen Meng’er to agree so quickly. It was not until Chen Meng’er finished showering that she changed into the nightdress that she had just taken over from her luggage and walked out of the bathroom. “Yuwen, I’m done. You should go take a shower.”
“Ah, oh.” Yuwen Jing’s ears turned red.
Yuwen Jing took his pajamas and ran into the bathroom. Chen Meng’er looked at Yuwen Jing’s back as he walked into the bathroom and shrugged. They were still young, so what was there to be shy about living in the same room?
Chen Meng’er had forgotten that she was only ten years old, but Yuwen Jing was already fourteen years old. Moreover, Yuwen Jing had grown up abroad, so his thoughts were definitely more mature than the children back home, not to mention that he was born into a high-class family.
