"Mr. Lei, so you are here! Everyone has arrived tonight, and we would like to invite you to join us for a chat. Do you think you could spare some time to come over?" Nicolo whispered his invitation.
Rafas chuckled lightly and tightened his embrace around Yan Wushuang, saying, "I'm sorry, Count, but I've promised my wife that I would stay with her tonight!"
Nicolo's face twisted in frustration. He had personally come to invite him, yet Rafas was using a woman as an excuse. What secret was hidden behind this?
Yan Wushuang noticed the count's displeased expression and pulled on Rafas's arm, saying, "Lefas, don't be like this. Although you've promised me, there are always exceptions! I know you're going to discuss business, not anything else. I won't be upset; just go and chat with them for a bit. I'll wait here for you to come back, okay?"
"Lady Ray is indeed gracious. Mr. Lei, you can rest assured; Mrs. Lei is in good hands with me. I will stay with her until you return," Countess Nicuor chimed in at the right moment.
Rafas felt overwhelmed by their insistence. He looked at Yan Wushuang and instructed her, "I'll just be gone for ten minutes. Please don't wander off; stay here and wait for me to come back, alright?"
"Yes, don't worry. I'll be right here waiting for you!" Yan Wushuang replied gently, giving him a reassuring smile.
Turning around, Rafas left the balcony with Count Nicuor, leaving only Yan Wushuang and Countess Nicuor behind. Facing this middle-aged woman, Yan Wushuang was always cautious; it felt like an interrogation as she asked about her background, which made Wushuang quite uncomfortable.
She wanted to leave and avoid this woman but had promised Lefas that she wouldn't go anywhere, so she could only grit her teeth and stay.
Outside, a group of women surged in one direction. Yan Wushuang thought something had happened and peeked out to see what was going on; it turned out that Your Highness had also arrived.
"Lady Ray, do you know Prince Morina?" Countess Nicuor asked curiously as she noticed Yan Wushuang looking over.
"Yes, I do!" came the soft reply; they had just had coffee together a couple of days ago.
Suddenly recalling that day at Coffee Wings, Yan Wushuang turned her face away as if trying to hide from him because she felt so embarrassed after Lefas's antics that day.
However, the more she tried to avoid him, the more Morina's gaze was drawn to her beautiful figure tonight. Among all the beautiful women in front of him, he didn't even glance at any of them; it was her that caught his attention the most!
"Your Highness, may I have the honor of sharing a drink with you?" a stunningly dressed woman approached him directly with two glasses of champagne in hand.
Morina despised such women; the more they acted this way, the more obvious their intentions became. Not to mention his princess; even his mistress wouldn't qualify!
"Thank you for your kindness, but I'm not interested in your champagne!" After this straightforward rejection, he strode towards Yan Wushuang.
The seductive beauty was taken aback by his words, standing there in a daze. His lack of interest in her champagne actually implied a lack of interest in her.
Morina moved a little closer to her, and Yan Wushuang was completely unaware of his approach, thinking he hadn't seen her earlier as she continued chatting with the Countess on the balcony.
"Miss Wushuang..." Morina called out her name directly after standing behind them.
Both Yan Wushuang and the Countess turned curiously to look, surprised to see him. What puzzled Yan Wushuang even more was that he referred to her as "Miss Wushuang."
"It turns out to be Your Highness. It's a pleasure to see you. Allow me to introduce myself; I am Countess Nicuor!" As the host, the Countess naturally took the lead.
"Hello, beautiful Countess..." Morina politely greeted her, taking her hand and gently kissing it.
Yan Wushuang watched from the side. Although she knew this was merely a ceremonial greeting, she still felt uncomfortable and hoped that Your Highness wouldn't do the same to her.
After chatting casually with the Countess for a few moments, the Countess unexpectedly left. Since they were all acquainted, she felt it inappropriate to stay in the middle.
Suddenly, only the two of them remained on the balcony. Yan Wushuang awkwardly met his gaze and apologized, "I'm really sorry about that day. It was Lefas who acted impulsively and misunderstood us. I hope you can forgive us and not take it to heart."
Morina wore a smile as he looked at the woman before him, whose cheeks flushed with nervousness. "It's alright; I understand Mr. Lei's temperament. With his fiery personality, I believe you must have had quite a tough time with him?"
"Not at all. Lefas treats me very well. Besides my father and brother, he is the third man who cares for and dotes on me." When Yan Wushuang mentioned her brother, she was actually referring to General Longze.
Morina gazed at her, who looked as stunning as a blooming flower tonight. Dressed in a light crimson gown that accentuated her fair and delicate skin, perfectly tailored to highlight her curves, she appeared sacred and untouchable from any angle.
"I hope it's not too forward of me to ask you a question. If it makes you uncomfortable, feel free not to answer." Morina couldn't help but be captivated by her and wanted to ask what was on his mind.
Yan Wushuang looked into his eyes in confusion, unsure of what he wanted to ask.
"Would you fall in love with yourself if I met you first?" Morina boldly asked.
His question was indeed sensitive and awkward, but Yan Wushuang thought for a moment. If she had met the gentle him back then, perhaps she would be with General Longze now, so she would not choose him!
Having figured out her answer, Yan Wushuang raised her gaze to meet his longing eyes and softly replied, "I'm sorry, but if the person I met was you, I believe you would set me free to ensure my happiness!"
Although she did not explicitly say she did not love him, her apology and the word "freedom" implied that she would not fall in love with him...
Well, this way Morina would not be too obsessed with her. Since there was no chance, he usually would not make further efforts!
"It seems your feelings for Mr. Lei are very deep!" he said gracefully, putting on his signature smile.
Yan Wushuang was prompted by his question to recall various past events. With a faint smile curving her lips, she said, "Although I haven't known Lefas for long—less than a year—we have experienced so much together that even you wouldn't believe the stories we've had: sweet, sour, bitter, spicy; love, hate, affection, enmity—all of these have happened in our story!"
The night was beautiful; the full moon hung high in the sky. The autumn breeze swept towards them in the late night, causing the lightly dressed Yan Wushuang to shiver slightly.
Listening to her words, Morina realized that no matter what efforts he made, this beautiful goddess could never belong to him!
Rafas listened silently as a group of old men debated the land-grabbing plan. He called over a server to check on what Yan Wushuang was doing.
When the server returned with news that Lady Ray was chatting with His Royal Highness, the Third Prince of the United Kingdom on the balcony, Rafas could no longer sit still. Without saying a word, he immediately strode back to Yan Wushuang's side.
That bastard Morianna Windsor always tried to flirt with Shuang'er when he wasn't around...
Yan Wushuang had already shared her thoughts with him. Morina accepted it calmly but had one condition: since there was no chance for them, he hoped she could reveal some information about Xinya since An Xin Ya was still single.
With the awkwardness lifted from his heart, he shifted his focus to Xinya. But what about Brother Shouya? As he pondered this question, a familiar voice came from behind: "I thought it was someone else; turns out it's Prince Morina chatting with my wife!"
"Lefas, have you settled things so quickly?" Yan Wushuang exclaimed as she stepped forward and fell into his embrace.
Rafas opened his arms and embraced her, gently placing a kiss on her smooth forehead, saying, "Actually, there's nothing much to talk about; it's just this group of people who love to stir things up!"
Morina stood in place, watching their intimate interaction, wishing that the man holding her was not Rafas, but rather Morina himself!
"Are you interested in having a drink together, Mr. Lei?" Morina asked him.
Rafas glanced at the gold watch on his wrist and then at Yan Wushuang beside him before replying, "It's almost ten o'clock now, and I still need to take Wushuang home. If Prince Morina doesn't mind, how about we go to my place for a drink?"
"Okay, I heard that it's quite difficult for outsiders to enter Mr. Lei's castle. To have this honor is something Morina desires!" With a smile, she walked up to the two of them, her eyes still filled with affection for Wushuang.
The two reached an agreement and disappeared from the extremely dull cocktail party. The socialites felt a sense of loss as they watched the two top patrons leave together and soon followed suit, leaving the event.
Two luxury sedans drove into the secluded luxurious European-style castle. Morina looked around at the environment; it was indeed special and relatively remote, with few outsiders coming in.
It seemed he wanted to ensure Miss Wushuang was safely protected within this castle. A woman with beauty and grace like Wushuang was truly a rare goddess in the world, no wonder he took such good care of her.
"Your Highness, please come in and make yourself comfortable. I'll take Wushuang back to her room to rest and come down," Rafas waved his hand, asking Mike to attend to him first.
Morina smiled elegantly and let them be.
Rafas took Yan Wushuang's hand and went up to the master bedroom on the third floor. As soon as they entered, Yan Wushuang looked at him and said, "Lefas, now that we're home, you don't need to accompany me anymore. Go sit with Your Highness. I'm a bit tired tonight and want to rest early!"
"Alright, do you want me to run a hot bath for you before you sleep?" He was extremely doting towards Yan Wushuang, wanting to take care of even these small matters personally.
