Chapter 663: King and Daisy
Translator: Lordbluefire
While Ye Xie was pondering, the door to his room was knocked on.
He walked over and opened the door to find an extraordinarily beautiful woman standing there.
The woman’s jet-black hair casually draped behind her, and her face still had a trace of sleepiness. Even though she was already forty years old, she looked more charming than most younger women.
This person was Su Nanqing, Ye Xie’s mother.
Su Nanqing then looked at Ye Xie. Her beautiful almond-shaped eyes were slightly raised as she asked lazily, “What’s going on between you and the little princess?”
Upon hearing this, Ye Xie smiled bitterly. “Mom, there’s nothing between us.”
“So what are your intentions toward her?”
…..
Intentions?
Ye Xie thought for a moment.
To be honest, he quite liked Daisy. The little princess and his sister were close friends, and during his years studying in Country Y, Daisy had taken care of him quite a bit. Also, when he was younger, he would often tease her…
However, a King’ couldn’t be involved in any political struggle.
If he were to be with Daisy, he would be dragged into the royal family’s conflicts in Country Y.
That was why Ye Xie had kept his distance from Daisy all these years… Besides, he couldn’t figure out whether he saw her more as a sister or if he genuinely harbored romantic feelings for her.
Until he could clarify his feelings, he wouldn’t be with Daisy, lest he held her back.
Moreover, they were both still young, not even twenty years old… There was a long future ahead of them. Also, due to his background, Ye Xie could only love his family and himself. He was unable to see into his own heart.
Ye Xie thought about this but remained silent.
Su Nanqing seemed to sense his dilemma and smiled, patting him on the shoulder. “If you’re unsure, you can try boldly. The Karl family has always been using her, and they might not treat her well.”
Ye Xie nodded. “Even if they’re using her, her popularity is quite good. So, the Karl family wouldn’t dare to bully her. I’ve also asked her, and she said she’s doing quite well. Anyway, I need to keep my identity secret. Otherwise, if I were to intervene and eventually not be able to marry her, she would be the one who suffers the most.”
Su Nanqing said, “What a woman says is not necessarily true. Are you sure she’s doing well and hasn’t been mistreated?”
Ye Xie laughed. “Would the Karl family dare to bully her? She’s now the only presentable person in the royal family. If I were the Karl family, I would treasure her and treat her like a national treasure.”
This was Ye Xie’s misunderstanding because he was a straightforward man.
Since childhood, he had been educated to strive for what he wanted.
But the life of Princess Daisy was an unfortunate one, and some things were difficult to say… Besides, Princess Daisy had a secret crush on him, and she admired him. Because of this, she didn’t want him to know about the embarrassing side of her life.
Unfortunately, Ye Xie couldn’t understand these things.
On the other hand, Su Nanqing seemed to have a vague idea but decided not to interfere further after hinting at it to her son.
The lives of the children should be left to their own choices.
She nodded and said, “As long as you have a clear understanding, that’s fine.”
The woman then yawned widely and said, “Well, I’m going to sleep now.”
Ye Xie watched his mother, who was only interested in sleeping, and silently twitched the corner of his mouth.
Over the years, Ye Xie didn’t know how his father, now retired, managed to face such a “sleeping goddess” every day…
After all, his father loved to travel and explore the beautiful landscapes of the world, but for his mother, it was just a change of scenery to sleep…
The banquet to host the Loong Corporation finally came to an end.
Before Karl and the others left, they looked back at Chu Cichen with a fierce glare.
He even warned Chu Cichen and Jing Zhen, saying that King would support the Karl family and they shouldn’t think that joining forces could truly bring down the Karl family. If they thought so, it would be truly laughable.
After Karl left, Chu Cichen looked at Jing Zhen. “Father-in-law, have you ever met this King?”
Jing Zhen shook his head. “No. I haven’t been in charge of the royal family for very long, but even if I had been, I wouldn’t have met him. That King is even more mysterious than you. At least you, as Eastern Dragon, have appeared in public and left traces, but King has never appeared. No one knows who he is. The only thing I know is that the current King is the son of the King from years ago, and he’s very young.”
Chu Cichen nodded, revealing a thoughtful expression.
Jing Zhen asked, “Are you sure you want to make contact with King and bring down the Karl family?”
Chu Cichen nodded. “Father-in-law, I can’t tolerate the existence of someone who harbors ill intentions toward us at all times. Moreover, only by suppressing the Karl family can we show the world that our two families are untouchable.”
Jing Zhen understood that since the Loong Corporation had made an appearance, they needed to send a warning to the world.
With that, no one could easily target him and the royal family of Country A. Even a powerful family like the Karl family must pay the price for their recklessness!
Only this way could they deter others and ensure that no one dared to provoke them again.
After all, the Loong Corporation, unlike the three major economic empires, had no foundation in this world.
The Loong Corporation, like Chu Cichen himself, could only be considered a rising star in the business world but possessed immense wealth, like a child flaunting treasures in the streets, easily attracting the envy of countless people.
Chu Cichen couldn’t help but frown. “Do you know why King has been supporting the Karl family all along?”
Jing Zhen laughed. “Well, I actually have heard something about that.”
Chu Cichen’s eyes lit up.. “What’s the reason?”
