The Young Master's Escaping Bride Who Lost Memories

Chapter 708 - 719 Don’t Forget You’re Mine

"Mm, grandpa is on the twentieth floor, room 2102."Xia Xiaonuan nodded.

Liang Shaochen hadn’t spoken from the start, his gaze dark and fixed on Xia Xiaonuan’s face.

Xia Xiaonuan instinctively avoided looking at him, but when they walked out of the elevator and brushed past each other, she still raised her eyes and met his gaze.

His eyes were deep and complicated, entwined with hers.

It lasted only for a second, yet it seemed to convey thousands of words.

In that instant, Xia Xiaonuan’s heart jumped, she quickly looked away and hurried into the elevator.

The elevator doors slowly closed, and their silhouettes disappeared from view.

Actually, standing together, they really did make a good match.

One was dignified and outstanding, the other noble and elegant.

Even their backs seemed perfectly coordinated.

Compared to Nangong Zhongli, she felt like Cinderella.

Although she was now the daughter of the Xia Family, deep inside, she knew she was still the ordinary and simple girl she used to be.

Suddenly, she wondered if this was fate.

Everyone has their destiny; she was not the true daughter of the Xia Family, so no matter if it’s Nangong Yaoling or Liang Shaochen, she didn’t deserve to have them.

Was she only destined to be with that scoundrel Situ Yan?

She thought about their agreement.

Half a year...

Riverside Villa.

In the vast living room decorated in a cold black tone, Situ Yan stood alone at the wine cabinet, skillfully preparing a cocktail.

Turning around, he handed the drink to the silver-haired man who had been waiting behind him for a long time.

"Try the drink I made."

The man had one blue eye and one brown eye. He squinted his golden-brown right eye, showing a trace of impatience, but still took the glass and awkwardly said, "Thank you, Yandi, for the drink!"

Situ Yan looked at him, a wicked smile curling at his lips: "What’s the big deal? Lang Ba, why are you so angry? It’s not like there’s really an issue."

"Yandi, are you really planning to abandon the Lot Empire? You’ve been back for so long, everyone is worried about you. They’ve been spreading rumors that something happened to you, which might be Luo’er’s idea! He wants to take advantage of the situation and seize the throne. Aren’t you worried at all?"

"Him?" Situ Yan turned around and continued pouring wine, indifferently said, "That fool, does he dare? Unless he wants to dig his own grave."

"Even if he doesn’t dare, he still has advisors from Elder Situ’s old faction who might persuade him to rebel."

Situ Yan raised his glass and took a sip.

"Mm... Try it, the taste is really good."

"Yandi!" The man was intimidated by Situ Yan’s gaze, and finally, obediently tilted his head back and drank the entire glass of wine in one go.

"All right, don’t worry, I estimate I’ll be back no later than next month!"

"Really?" The man said, his face lighting up with joy.

"Mm. And I’ll bring an Imperial Consort back with me!"

Lang Ba’s eyes widened.

"Yandi, really? You’ve actually taken a fancy to a Chinese girl?" He was both surprised and delighted.

"As long as it’s the woman I’ve chosen, it doesn’t matter what her status is."

"Congratulations, Yandi!" Lang Ba said excitedly, "In that case, I’ll go back and prepare right away. When you return to Australia, we can hold the engagement ceremony at any time!"

Situ Yan reached out, patted his shoulder, and lazily raised an eyebrow with a smile: "Well then, I’ll leave it to you..."
