Chapter 1290 - She's So Capable
Chapter 1290: She’s So Capable
The butler was slightly surprised. He did not expect Ye Qing to have observed everything so carefully.
But he did not understand. Since Third Prince knew that it wasn’t Miss Gu who had pushed Miss Xue’er, then why did he let Miss Gu leave!
Ye Qing saw the butler’s doubts and said coldly, “She is a girl and being my bodyguard, if I am in danger, she would need to use her body to block it. I have no need to make her my human shield.”
The butler nodded thoughtfully. “But she will be very sad if you let her think that you don’t believe her.”
“I don’t need to care about her feelings.”
The butler looked at the man whose expression was cold and said nothing else.
The Third Prince had grown up in the palace and had seen all kinds of schemes. He was not a fool and had a balance for many things in his heart. He was introverted and had a stable temperament, keeping everything in his heart and never saying it out loud.
Ye Qing went to smoke at the smoking area. When he came back, Xue’er’s forehead had been bandaged.
Looking at Xue’er’s pale and weak face, and slender body, there was a complicated feeling in Ye Qing’s heart.
When he was young, he thought that Xue’er was as pure as a snow lotus high up in the mountain. Because he had grown up in the palace, he did not like women who were too scheming and liked those who were pure. He thought that Xue’er was such a person.
After returning to the Royal family, Sihan and Nan Zhi mentioned to him about the fishing village, Gu Meng and some things Xue’er had done before.
Xue’er used to like Sihan and did something to break the relationship between Sihan and Nan Zhi. She did not succeed and could not accept it. Seeing that he had come back, she wanted to hold him in her hands.
He did not suspect Sihan would lie to him. However, Xue’er was the only woman he had liked when he was young, so there were still faint traces of lingering obsession in his heart.
He wanted to see for himself what she would do and how much she could destroy her own image.
…
In the Crown Palace.
Nan Zhi and Mu Sihan had a rare dinner together.
As King and Queen, they attended to hundreds of important matters every day and it was hard to have a meal together.
But no matter how busy they were, they would come back no matter how late it was if they were both in the Capital.
Mu Sihan looked at Nan Zhi, who put down her chopsticks after eating a few mouthfuls, and sat beside her, holding her slender hand. “What’s wrong?”
“I met Gu Meng today. She came to the Third Prince’s palace to pack her things. She was dismissed by your brother.”
Mu Sihan’s deep and dark eyes narrowed slightly. Looking at Nan Zhi’s beautiful face, he held her hand tightly. “You’re thinking that Xue’er is sowing discord and making my brother dismiss Gu Meng?”
Nan Zhi drew back her hand from Mu Sihan’s strong one and leaned her body against the chair. “I asked Mengmeng for a long time before she was willing to tell me the reason she was dismissed by your brother. Xue’er was up to something again. She didn’t manage to break us up and now she is getting between Mengmeng and Ye Qing. Okay, although she is the first love that Ye Qing can’t forget, how can your brother not see through her despicable tricks?”
A trace of a smile appeared on Mu Sihan’s lips. “How do you know my brother can’t see it?”
“Then why did he dismiss Mengmeng?”
“He dismissed Mengmeng for the sake of her safety! As for Xue’er, you said it yourself that my brother can’t forget her. She is the obsession in his heart and if she did not do anything to slowly destroy her good impression in my brother’s heart, how can he see what kind of person she is clearly?”
Nan Zhi sighed a little. “Mm, okay. He probably believes those things you already told him about Xue’er, it’s just that he is unwilling to accept that the woman he liked would become like that. You’re right, only if he personally sees Xue’er’s true colors would he be completely disappointed and give up.”
..
When Cen Xi got off work, she saw Gu Meng, whose eyes were red from crying, sitting on the sofa. Walking over, Cen Xi pulled Gu Meng into her arms. “Mengmeng, what’s the matter? Did the Third Prince bully you?”
Gu Meng sniffed her red nose, her voice choked. “Xiao Xi, I’m going back to the fishing village.”
Cen Xi was surprised. “Why so sudden?”
Gu Meng lowered her long and wet eyelashes, and felt miserable. “He slept with his first love. I don’t care what he did with his first love before, but I can’t ignore it now. Even though he has forgotten about me, I can’t accept him sleeping with his first love. Even if he remembers me, I won’t be with him anymore. I can’t accept it.”
Cen Xi held Gu Meng, whose eyes were brimming with hot tears. She could understand Gu Meng’s feelings. No woman could accept it if their beloved man slept with another woman.
“Mengmeng, you don’t have to go back to the fishing village. You can continue to work and study here and improve yourself. Even if your future partner does not have the nobility and power of the Third Prince, it is still better than being in the fishing village!”
Gu Meng leaned her face against Cen Xi’s shoulder. “Mm, perhaps I might stay, but I still have to go back to the fishing village to see my parents. I’ve been away for too long and I miss them very much.”
Cen Xi nodded and wiped the tears away at the corner of Gu Meng’s eyes. “I’ll wait for you to come back.”
“Okay.”
…
After Gu Meng returned to the fishing village, Cen Xi focused on her work.
She had a great talent for languages and although she could not hear in one ear, she never made any mistakes in her work. Almost no one knew that she was actually someone with a disability.
Nan Zhi was going to K Country for an official visit. Her chief interpreter was in the hospital because of acute gastroenteritis and she needed an interpreter from the translation department.
The interpreter by the Queen needed to be evaluated and selected carefully. Cen Xi applied for it and after three days of assessment, she stood out from more than 100 interpreters. Nan Zhi personally called Cen Xi out and asked her to accompany her to K Country.
On this day, Qiao Yanze, Tang Xi and Chu Yifan had a gathering in the clubhouse in the evening. Tang Xi and Qiao Yanze played billiards and there was news about Nan Zhi and the first lady of K Country discussing charity and cultural undertaking on the television.
There were interpreters behind the two of them. Behind Nan Zhi was Cen Xi. She was wearing a black suit with a white shirt inside, her long hair was tied into a ponytail, showing her forehead. Her facial features were exquisite and beautiful, giving out a smart and sharp air.
Perhaps she was too busy recently, she seemed to have lost some weight, but she seemed to be in a good condition.
As the bright light fell on her, she was full of youthful vigor. Her eyes were cold but bright, her expression focused and confident, and she could easily translate any words the other party said into Nan Zhi’s ears.
Tang Xi saw that Qiao Yanze had stopped playing, his dark eyes staring at the TV, and he also looked at the TV.
Seeing that the position of the chief interpreter behind Nan Zhi was Cen Xi, Tang Xi smacked his lips together incredulously. “F*ck, I didn’t think this girl would be so amazing!”
