Nan Chaoyu knew that her mother might have used her marriage as a bargaining chip, but she had no position to blame her mother.
She could disobey and make trouble for Li Yuejin, but she couldn't righteously blame her mother.
Because whether it was the goddess on Snow God Mountain or the her in Dream Sea City, it was all given by her mother.
This body was condensed with her mother's flesh and blood. It was a way out left for her by her mother.
Seeing the girl looking so down, Mu Qihan frowned.
He preferred to see her smile rather than this look!
After thinking for a while, he leaned over and whispered, "If you're okay, let's go!"
Nan Chaoyu's eyes lit up. She turned her head and nodded without hesitation. "I'm fine. Let's go then!"
Anyway, the matter in Dream Sea City was over. She didn't want to stay here in the first place.
The two stood up. Nan Chaoyu secretly grabbed Mu Qihan's hand and tucked it under his wide sleeve. Seeing that no one noticed, she wanted to slip away through the side door secretly.
Xiaotian behind them covered his face when he saw their actions!
Couldn't they just bid farewell to Lord Li openly?
They were so grown - up but still played the game of leaving without saying goodbye. It was really unbearable to watch!
Unexpectedly, before they could move, a person suddenly walked in through the main entrance!
"Lord Li, may I ask where Nan Chaoyu is?"
The mention of Nan Chaoyu instantly silenced all the chaotic noises. The huge banquet hall fell silent.
Nan Chaoyu stopped in her tracks and looked at the person coming.
"Xie Haotian, how did you get in?" Li Yuejin's face turned a bit ugly.
He had already arrested all the people from the Xie family. As a direct descendant of the Xie family, Xie Haotian was the key person he was keeping an eye on.
Why was he still here!
Xie Haotian didn't answer Li Yuejin's question because he had already seen Nan Chaoyu standing up.
He bypassed Li Yuejin in front of him and walked up to Nan Chaoyu. His eyes swept over their clasped hands, and a mocking smile appeared on his face.
"So it turns out that the princess doesn't fancy me, her fiancé, because she has already found someone else?"
Nan Chaoyu didn't expect Xie Haotian to come looking for her, and she was still holding Mu Qihan's hand. For a moment, she felt quite embarrassed!
She couldn't help but shrink her hand and let go of Mu Qihan's.
But the next second, before she could pull it back, her five fingers were grasped!
Nan Chaoyu instinctively wanted to look at Mu Qihan's expression but held back.
Now that Xie Haotian came prepared, in front of everyone, she couldn't implicate Mu Qihan's reputation!
Not pulling back her hand, Nan Chaoyu simply ignored it. Her face turned cold, and she said disdainfully, "Xie Haotian, who was the one roaring in the street a few days ago to dissolve the engagement with me? Now that the Xie family has become prisoners, you come to cling to this princess?"
"Aren't you ashamed!"
Xie Haotian sneered. "Nan Chaoyu, I actually don't want you. But now it's your Holy Light Royal Family that is clinging to our Xie family!"
Saying that, he took out a silk scroll from his bosom and handed it to Li Yuejin on one side. "Lord Li, tell your princess what's on this."
Since Xie Haotian came in, Li Yuejin had a bad feeling. Now seeing Xie Haotian take out such a thing.
He didn't dare to take it and instinctively looked at Nan Chaoyu.
But she didn't look at him.
Xie Haotian looked at Li Yuejin with a half - smile. "Lord Li doesn't dare to look? But I heard that this was decided by you and the Queen of the Holy Light together?"
The Queen of the Holy Light!
The crowd was in an uproar.
They didn't expect that there was such a background to the engagement between the princess and the Xie family. They all thought this marriage was privately arranged by Li Yuejin.
Xie Haotian didn't seem to care whether he took it or not. He looked back at Nan Chaoyu. "Nan Chaoyu, you don't think that if you don't accept this marriage certificate, this engagement won't count, do you?"
After saying that, he chuckled. His eyes fell on Nan Chaoyu's hand, and he raised his eyebrows, saying with great interest, "Nan Chaoyu, I, your fiancé, am standing right in front of you! But you're holding hands with another man."
"You're really promiscuous by nature and shameless!"
Xie Haotian seemed not to care about his own situation and was faintly excited.
He was in this situation entirely because of Nan Chaoyu. With the engagement in hand, even if he died, he would ruin Nan Chaoyu.
Nan Chaoyu moved her hand, wanting to go up and slap this scumbag!
She never believed in the saying "A gentleman takes his revenge, but never too late", unless she couldn't beat the person.
For scumbags like Xie Haotian, she usually took revenge on the spot!
But before she could make a move, her wrist went numb, and her five fingers were enclosed in a dry and warm palm.
Just now it was just holding her fingers, but now her whole hand was wrapped!
Nan Chaoyu stopped and couldn't help but turn her head to look at Mu Qihan!
"Mr. Xie, on the first day I came to Dream Sea City, I saw Mr. Xie hugging a woman on the street. I also witnessed him dissolving the engagement with the princess in public and humiliating her."
"Mr. Xie also admitted that three years ago, he personally stuffed the princess into the carriage of the Holy Light Messenger in order to get rid of the princess's entanglement."
"Am I right?"
Mu Qihan's face was calm, and his tone was unruffled, but it made Xie Haotian's face change.
But the next second, Xie Haotian laughed. He hooked the corner of his mouth and said recklessly, "Even husband and wife quarrel. Can't I have a fight with the princess? You, an outsider, are meddling too much."
"But you're different. You're having an affair with my fiancée. How shameless!"
"Mr. Xie, you're wrong." Mu Qihan slowly hooked the corner of his mouth, showing a devilish smile. This made Xiaotian can't help but take a step back.
His own young master was always serious. Even when he smiled, it was just a faint one.
There were usually no extra expressions on his face.
But once he smiled like this, it meant -
The young master was angry!
"A virtuous young lady is a gentleman's good match. The princess is excellent. I've admired the princess for a long time. Now that I stand up to protect the girl I like, I don't think there's anything impolite about it."
"As for Mr. Xie, when the Xie family was in trouble, I didn't see Mr. Xie step forward. When the princess's life was hanging by a thread, I didn't see Mr. Xie step forward. But now that the Xie family has fallen, Mr. Xie can't wait to take out the engagement. I think everyone can sense the purpose without me saying it!"
"Moreover, since Mr. Xie got engaged to the princess, how Mr. Xie treated the princess is well - known in Dream Sea City."
"Since Mr. Xie has already betrayed this engagement, what right do you have to spout nonsense here, humiliate the princess, and accuse me?"
Mu Qihan spoke unhurriedly, his voice calm, but the words he said were like a knife stabbing Xie Haotian, making his face change.
Just then, Nan Chaoyu added fuel to the fire. Her cold voice was tinged with contempt. "Of course, it's because of the Xie family's ancestral skills of being insidious, shameless, double - dealing, and cunning!"
