Chapter 312 - Is She Worth The Trouble, Bro?
Chapter 312 - Is She Worth The Trouble, Bro?
Faye was an understanding and sensible child at this age. So, she nodded her head.
"Go back to your Mom. And do not trouble her. She loves you a lot just like your dad."
"If you listen to your mom, I'll come and visit you soon with your uncle Jie."
With one last kiss on Faye's forehead, Zhenyi came out of the mansion.

"Miss Xin."
Zhenyi turned her head to find a huffing Feng Siyan running in her direction.
Crossing her arms over her chest, she leaned against the car. "What do you want?"
"I didn't know you would be here," Feng Siyan said apologetically. Why was he behaving like someone who had done something wrong?
"If you knew, you would have kept your script ready?" Zhenyi asked him with a raised brow.
Feng Siyan had no words to say because she was right. Who had known that she would appear in front of him all of a sudden?!
"Do you all know that you are playing with that little girl's feelings? I'm big enough to understand everything but she is still a kid."
"Miss Xin, we do not know what to say to her either. Master was poisoned a few weeks ago. All I know is he is no mor---"
"Complete the sentence and see how I cut your tongue," Zhenyi growled. Calling his brother dead was akin to asking for death.
"I know Miss Xin, it's hard to accept --"
"You know what Feng Siyan?" Zhenyi screeched while clenching her teeth." I'm so done with you now. And please keep me out of your games because right now, my head is throbbing."
"Miss Xin, please tell me the truth. Have you seen Master recently?" Feng Siyan asked in bewilderment. He didn't know why he just sighed in relief. His master was too troublesome. Leaving behind a letter saying that if they couldn't find her it meant he had died and there was no need to look for his body. It was the reason why he refused Long Jie to come to London when he asked him to.
Zhenyi pulled out her phone from the pocket and dialed a number, arranging the phone on loudspeaker.
"Angel?" A voice said from the other side and here Feng Siyan froze with the intensity of the shock.
"Oh, I just dialed your number by mistake," Zhenyi said as she started driving the car, leaving the shocked Feng Siyan far behind her.
"Really?" Ryuu asked with a bemused smile.
"No, actually I called to tell you that I'm finally done with you," Zhenyi said while clenching her teeth.
"We both know that you don't mean it," Ryuu said proudly. His dear sister loved him the most after all!
"I wish I did."
What a liar! A charming liar nevertheless. She felt bad for Alcina for selling her soul to Satan.
"You know, Ryuu, I met a very special person today." Zhenyi spoke with a smile. " She was so beautiful that I wanted to snatch her from her mom's side and keep her in my heart. An angel, she was in reality." She paused for a brief moment only to add," But her words broke my heart when she asked me with teary eyes if I'm also going to leave her like her Ru."
"What do you say to her in reply, angel?" Ryuu's voice turned unusually raspy. His heart grew uncomfortable imagining the little girl in tears.
"I told her that she is a little queen and she has to wait for a little longer and everything will come back to her at the right time."
"You told her the right thing." Ryuu paused for a brief moment before saying,"Do you blame me?"
"For what? For protecting her in the only way possible?" Zhenyi asked him instead.
"You know you are the best sister one could ask for?" Ryuu questioned with a sad smile.
"You better treasure me," Zhenyi said, still not able to digest the whole truth.
"Oh, I have every intention."
"You are going to have to prepare a lot of explanations, big bro," Zhenyi remembered Long Jie's crestfallen expression when he was leaving for London that night. She hated her brother a little today.
"Oh, I already have saved them in different folders. Starting with your husband's."
Ryuu knew this day would come but he hadn't thought that it would come so soon. Last night, when he begged Alcina not to go back to the Long family. He should have anticipated for something like this to happen. He had thought she wouldn't do something like that but she did. She was always unpredictable and a little crazier than others.
'You owe me, Cia. And like always, you will pay for it tenfold. After all, you don't let off the debt of your closest enemy.'
"Is she worth the trouble, bro?" Zhenyi asked after a long pause.
"Every single one of them."

Well, it was not a secret since the number of hints I have given from the beginning were too subtle. Come on, guys, did you really think Xiuying was Ryuu's heroine? Although I love reading lots of flash marriage cliches, I don't like to write one. Especially Ryuu! He has been a very intense and strong character since the beginning. I wanted his love line to be intense like him. And Alcina fitted the picture perfectly.
She matched his mysterious vibe. His dignified aura suits her brazenness. She is strong,actually way stronger than normal fls. She didn't need Ryuu to protect her all the time. A King doesn't need a queen who he had to protect all the time. He needs someone who is a capable ally just like Alcina.
PS: Don't hate me for this.
Pss: This book doesn't include any kind of cheating. Who knew you guys would end up getting shocked by the intensity of the mysteries that will be unfolding later in the story. As for Xiuying, trust me I don't write pitiful characters.
