An Xin Ya thought for a moment and nodded, saying, "Actually, I don't know either. He hasn't contacted me for half a month. Earlier, he did take me for a check-up, but whether he is busy with that, I'm really not sure."
After the two of them finished shopping for what Xinya needed at the mall, they arrived at a restaurant called "Coffee Wings" and sat down. It had been a long time since they last met, and as soon as they sat down, they began chatting excitedly.
Rafas no longer restricted her as he used to, but wherever she went, she had to inform him in advance, and there must always be bodyguards with her; this was the one thing he could not compromise on.
Yan Wushuang was not very familiar with this place either, so having bodyguards around was good; at least she wouldn't get lost.
The restaurant specialized in rich coffee, and the aroma of coffee filled the air. The two were laughing and chatting when a seemingly handsome gentleman walked into the restaurant. His sharp eyes spotted the two beautiful women chatting by the window, and he couldn't help but walk towards them.
"Excuse me, beautiful ladies, may I join your conversation?" The man stood by their table with a gentlemanly demeanor, looking at them sincerely.
Yan Wushuang turned to see who it was and immediately stood up in surprise when she recognized him. "Your Highness, what brings you here?"
"It is truly an honor that Mrs. Lei remembers who I am!" Morina flashed his signature smile and glanced at An Xin Ya sitting beside her.
She was also a great beauty; it seemed he was quite lucky today.
"Not at all! Please have a seat!" Yan Wushuang actively offered him her spot while she moved to sit next to Xinya. Knowing that Xinya couldn't see well and with such a distinguished guest present, she would surely feel a bit nervous.
An Xin Ya felt nervous as well when she heard Wushuang refer to him as Your Highness. Her palms were sweating as she sat there dumbfounded, unsure of what to do.
Morina sat across from them and looked curiously at the two women who bore some resemblance to each other. "Mrs. Lei, may I ask if this lady beside you is your sister?"
"Oh, I'm sorry! I forgot to introduce her. This is An Xin Ya; she is my close friend. However, her eyesight is a bit inconvenient. If there’s anything inappropriate, please don’t mind it, Your Highness!" Yan Wushuang took An Xin Ya's hand to help ease her tension.
Indeed, An Xin Ya felt more relaxed knowing that Wushuang was beside her. Facing the man across from her, she gently whispered, "Your Highness, hello!"
Her soft greeting caught Morina's attention. Although he admired Yan Wushuang deeply, she was already Rafas's wife. No matter how much he liked her, he could never take her away from Rafas. Instead, this woman beside her had an aura reminiscent of Yan Wushuang; especially because of her eyesight issues, there was a hint of sadness in her eyes that stirred a desire within him to protect her.
"Miss An, may I call you Xinya?" Morina asked tentatively, also curious to know if she had found a home like Yan Wushuang.
"Sure, my grandmother and friends call me that, so Your Highness can call me that too." Xinya listened to his gentle voice and felt he must be a very easygoing person.
From her response, Morina was sure that she was single and that there was only a grandmother at home!
Suddenly, An Xinya's phone rang. Yan Wushuang took it out for her; it was a call from her grandmother: "Hello, Xinya, why haven't you finished shopping and come home yet? Do you need Grandma to pick you up?"
An Xinya took the phone from Wushuang and apologetically replied to her grandmother, "I'm sorry, Grandma. I'm coming back now. You just stay at home and wait for me; there's no need for you to come pick me up. I can go home by myself."
Once Xinya finished speaking, Yan Wushuang immediately took the phone to his mouth: "Grandma, don't come over. It's all my fault for insisting on keeping Xinya here for coffee and chatting. I'll take Xinya home right away; don't worry!"
"Oh, so Wushuang is with you. I thought it was just Xinya alone. With you there, Grandma can relax. You both come back early; it's getting late!" Grandma An instructed.
"Yes, Grandma, I understand. We're heading back now!" Yan Wushuang hung up the phone and put it back in Xinya's bag.
After listening to their conversation, Morina felt a bit disappointed as they were about to leave just after she had sat down...
"I'm sorry, Your Highness, but I need to take Xinya home. That call was from her grandmother, who has been worried about not seeing Xinya at home!" Wushuang said apologetically.
"No need for that. Wushuang, you should stay with Your Highness a bit longer. We can't be so rude; I can take a taxi back by myself," Xinya interrupted Wushuang shyly.
"That's not okay! I can't let you go back alone! How about this: I'll have my driver take you home instead; at least then I'll feel more at ease." Letting her take a taxi back could lead to an unpleasant situation if she encountered a bad driver.
Morina, who had been sitting silently across from them, watched their exchange and waited for the outcome.
After ensuring that the driver would safely take Xinya home, Yan Wushuang would come back to pick her up. She would wait here for him while the bodyguard remained close by to protect her.
With Xinya gone, only the two of them were left together. Morina ordered the same coffee as Wushuang and looked closely at her; indeed, she was very beautiful...
"Your Highness, do you also enjoy coming to these little cafes for coffee?" Morina gazed at her with intense eyes, making Wushuang feel a bit awkward, so she could only find a casual topic to chat about.
In fact, she had wanted to leave with Xinya earlier. Being alone with an unfamiliar man made her feel very uncomfortable, but it seemed Xinya didn't notice her intention and insisted that she stay.
Morina slightly withdrew his gaze and smiled gracefully as he replied, "Don't overthink me. Besides being a member of the Royal Family, I'm just an ordinary person. The environment here is so nice; as the wife of the president of Monica, didn't you choose to come here for coffee as well?"
"Hehe..." Yan Wushuang chuckled lightly; it seemed he was indeed easy to get along with.
"I believe Mr. Lei must have praised you; your smile is truly beautiful! Especially that shy smile just now, it could make any man fall for you!" Looking at her youthful and bashful smile, his words were sincere.
Yan Wushuang felt even more embarrassed by his compliment. If Rafas said such things to her, she would blush; how much more so now that it was a stranger?
"Your Highness, you're exaggerating. I don't have that kind of charm," she said, blushing and looking at him somewhat shyly.
Morina quietly observed her, wondering what the outcome would be if he really pursued her.
The bodyguard at the neighboring table reported all of the lady's movements to Mike and even sent a photo. When Mike saw that the man sitting across from her was British Third Prince Morina, he immediately reported this information to Rafas, who was still in a meeting.
Seeing the two seemingly enjoying a lively conversation in the photo, Rafas couldn't hold back any longer. He could see through this little rascal's intentions; he had noticed Wushuang's strange gaze during their encounter at the World Royal Horse Auction. Now he dared to make a move on his woman—this was absolutely unacceptable.
"Mike, prepare the car...!" He decided to wrap up the meeting hastily and headed straight for Coffee Wings.
Faced with his increasingly intense gaze, Yan Wushuang felt more restless. However, the driver had only been gone for about ten minutes; he was likely already on his way back. She could only hold on for a little longer!
"Mrs. Lei, do you need me to order something for you?" Morina didn't want her to leave so soon. It was not easy to encounter her here; he had driven past and casually noticed her sitting by the window, which led him to come in.
"No need; I'll sit for a while longer. Once the driver returns, I will leave," Yan Wushuang firmly declined his suggestion.
Although Morina felt a bit disappointed, he still maintained an enchanting smile as he looked at her.
Rafas was in the car trying to call Yan Wushuang, but strangely, the call wouldn't go through; her phone was turned off. What was going on?
“Mike, speed up!” Rafas commanded Mike coldly, his heart racing with anxiety.
Mike pressed the accelerator again, pushing the speed to its maximum. They sped down the highway, reaching the "Coffee Wings" in less than ten minutes, a journey that normally took twenty.
Rafas quickly flung open the car door and walked into Coffee Wings. The decor was warm-toned and somewhat dimly lit. As soon as he entered, a waitress approached him enthusiastically, ready to assist. “Sir, how many people are with you?”
“Get lost…” Rafas roughly pushed her aside and strode deeper into the café.
The waitress stumbled against the cash register, drawing the attention of several nearby tables. Many recognized him at first glance as Rafas, the spokesperson for Monica!
After walking a few steps inside, Rafas spotted the person he was looking for. Seeing them sitting by the window, chatting and sipping coffee together, ignited a fire of anger within him.
“So you and Miss An are quite good friends now?” Morina was chatting with Wushuang about Xinya.
“Yes, we are indeed very good friends!” Wushuang replied with a smile.
But that very smile was like a dagger to Rafas's eyes; it felt blindingly irritating. Wushuang had never been so friendly with unfamiliar men. He had put in a lot of effort just to see her smile at him. Who was Morina to receive Wushuang's smile?
As Rafas gazed at Wushuang's beautiful face, jealousy surged within him. With a dark expression, he approached their table and tightly grabbed Yan Wushuang's wrist, completely unaware of her situation.
