Her personal guard was stunned by her demand. “Princess, Ye Erruo is Mo Jiangye’s wife and we are standing on his turf now. Are you sure you still want her cornea?”
With a cold snort, Gu Feirou replied with quivering, pale lips, “Didn’t you promise to bring me Ye Erruo’s cornea? Tell me, did you manage to get the cornea in the end? Now, you are telling me that Young Master Bo is a highly formidable descendant of witchcraft in the kingdom. Let him prove his worth by getting me her cornea. Only then will he befit my princess status.”
Jing Xinze frowned. He was at a loss for words.
“What do you want me to do?” Suddenly, Bo Jinyan slowly walked in with a plate of fruit.
The woman, who had just woken up, looked frail and haggard after talking so much.
“I’m asking you for a favor as your fiance and the princess of Blue Tower.”
A glint of chilling mockery flashed across the man’s eyes, although he approached her with a half-smile. “What is it?”
“Get me the cornea of a woman called Ye Erruo. If you can give me her cornea, then I’ll acknowledge you as my fiance.” She phrased her demand without flinching.
“Ye Erruo?” The man’s voice rose in pitch.
“That’s right.”
He curled his lips up into a smile, put the plate of fruit on the table next to him, and said, “You are blind in one eye now. Will you see again when you have her cornea?”
The woman, who could not stand any reminders about her blindness, instantly lost her cool when she heard that.
“This has nothing to do with you. You only need to get me her cornea! Jing Xinze, pass him the information that you have on Ye Erruo.”
She ordered the genteel aristocrat as if he were her servant, not taking his status the least bit seriously.
Her guard looked terribly sorry as he tried to explain to the man. “Young Master Bo… The Princess is…”
“No worries.”
“You can all leave now. I’m tired.” After saying that, she shut her eyes.
Bo Jinyan curled his lips into a faint smile. His palm rested lightly on Red Bean’s head, and the creature immediately rose from its slumber, jumped off the bed, and followed his master out of the door.
After looking at Gu Feirou one last time, Jing Xinze also left the room without another word.
As Bo Jinyan paced down the long hospital corridor with the dog behind him, the pair attracted numerous glances from curious passersby.
The man’s sinister profile gave off a dangerous, lethal aura…
After leaving the hospital, the man sped off in his car. His sleek black sports car was especially conspicuous on the road. The bluetooth he had in his ear was blinking eerily. Red Bean, whose eyes were staring straight ahead, sat quietly on the passenger seat next to him. He passed fleets of cars while the trees seemed to be constantly moving past him.
“Wuuu… Wuuu…”
Red Bean suddenly let out a flurry of excited barks.
The man turned his head to give it a sidelong glance before dismissing its barks.
“Wuu…” The creature started to claw at the car door with its small paws soon.
“Be quiet!” he ordered it sternly.
The dog was pacing anxiously around the passenger seat by then. Occasionally, it would scratch the car door with its paws.
Standing on its hind legs, the creature leaned on the car window. It was trying to peer through the glass at another expensive car next to them. The dog could not stop scratching the glass window when it saw that car.
“Be quiet!”
The dog continued to whine piteously.
The man slowed down his vehicle and looked at the other car with furrowed brows. What’s wrong with this car? Why is Red Bean so excited by its sight?
Suddenly, that car moved past his without warning. Red Bean became agitated and barked even louder this time.
