Coincidentally, the elevator arrived at this moment.
He casually asked, “l also know a few people from the reclusive families. Boss, who’s eating with us tonight? Maybe 1 know them.”
Qiao Nian noticed that the elevator was about to arrive. Hearing this, she looked at him and then silently retracted her gaze. She pulled down the brim of her cap and impatiently said, “No, you don’t.”
Why would he not know them?
What if he did!
Daji deflated. He thought of someone. “l heard that someone from Country
M t s royal family is here too. Don’t tell me you’re meeting Joseph?”
He knew that Qiao Nian had turned Country M t s royal family upside down last time, but Joseph was tactful and did not court death with the Yu family in the end.
After that, he even contacted Daji and bought a batch of firearms from him as an apology.
The other party knew how to conduct himself.
He thought Qiao Nian was talking about Joseph.
He was about to say that he knew Joseph when the elevator door opened.
Qiao Nian got into the elevator first.
Daji could only swallow his words and follow her.
The wind on the top floor was very strong, and the night breeze brought with it the fragrance of flowers. Not far away, a violin melody played out.
Ye w.a.n.gchuan was making small talk with Elder Xue.
Elder Xue noticed that the servant from the archbishop’s house kept looking in Xu Yi’s direction. Now that Xu Yi had left, he lowered his voice and asked, “l heard that the archbishop invited a few guests to stroll around the Privy Council today. Is it them? Does this young man… know the archbishop?”
“Which one?”
Ye w.a.n.gchuan leaned back slightly on the sofa.
Seeing that he was pretending to be confused, Elder Xue pointed in Xu Yi’s direction. “Him. I think he looks a little like…
Qiao Nian’s friend looked very much like Quentin when he was young.
Ye w.a.n.gchuan interrupted him and smiled slightly. “When did Elder Xue become so nosy?”
The silver-haired old man was embarra.s.sed. He covered his mouth and took a sip of water to moisten his throat before trying to smooth things over. “I’m just asking. Of course, it’s fine if you don’t want to answer.”
Ye w.a.n.gchuan!s gaze was far-reaching, with floating ice shards in it. He put down his cup and reminded him meaningfully, “We shouldn’t get involved in other people’s family matters, right?”
Elder Xue was not someone without means for him to reach this stage. Actually, even if Ye w.a.n.gchuan did not mention him, he would still investigate Xu Yi e s background when he returned.
The fact that a servant from the archbishop’s house had appeared on the top floor tonight was the best evidence. He had already guessed Xu Yi’s ident.i.ty. The silver-haired old man narrowed his eyes. He really did not expect the Ji family’s wandering direct descendant to have such hidden talents among her few ordinary friends.
He had not thought too much about it.
However, Ye w.a.n.gchuan was already looking at him. He unhurriedly said, “He’s my girlfriend’s friend, so he’s considered my friend. Elder Xue will keep this a secret for me, right?”
The silver-haired old man’s heart skipped a beat. He looked up and met the man’s deep eyes.
He was stunned by the other party’s aura.
Fortunately, his mind did not wander for too long. He understood what Ye w.a.n.gchuan meant in just a few seconds—Xu Yi was someone he wanted to protect.
He knew very well the power behind Ye w.a.n.gchuan. There was no need to get into an argument with him over Xu Yi.
He sobered quickly. “Of course.”
Only now did Ye w.a.n.gchuan retract his gaze and smile again, as if nothing had happened. His voice was as gentle as the spring breeze. “Thank you, Elder
Xue.re
Both of them were smart.
The silver-haired old man glanced at Xu Yi and the archbishop’s servant again before retracting his gaze indifferently, as if he did not see the resemblance between Xu Yi and the archbishop..
