"You are crazy! Can you at least— "
"Jihan… tsk…" Xu Ke clicked his tongue before he slowly put the delicate vial on top of his table. "You are too noisy. He can't sleep because of your loud voice." Smiling, he stood and walked out of his chair then looked at the glass window from his office. "Look at Lyca… she is clueless. She doesn't understand what I wanted. She keeps on guessing, asking, trying to trap me into answering her. I mean… she was pretty convincing. Any love-fooled man could have given her everything." But in his world, love doesn't exist. "But this made her more… enticing, no? She is smart and sassy. She could kill you if she wanted to. I say she is the only woman who deserved to stand by my side."
Xu Jihan frowned. He stood next to Xu Ke without saying anything. While he was exhausting himself outside, dealing with the problems of the country, Xu Ke is here, dreaming about his perfect bride.
"Let's go," Xu Ke suddenly said. "This success needed a celebration. Let's go and met Mr. Ye. I will talk to him… as the President."
Xu Jihan looked at Xu Ke's side profile. He couldn't understand why he wanted to talk to the Ye Family but he nodded and said nothing. At this point, he was tired of listening to Xu Ke's mumblings of immortality. He wanted to have the power that he spoke of, the immortality that he mentioned. However, he thought that seeing Lyca had somehow triggered the insanity inside him.
Right now, all Xu Jihan wanted was to stop all the madness. And to do that, he needed to get rid of Lyca.
…..
The location of the meeting was inside the palace of Xu Country. The palace was located in the capital, in the bustling City of Xu.
Ye Wan fixed his suit just as he walked inside the room where the meeting would take place. He roamed his eyes inside before making himself comfortable in a long velvet chair with golden frames that were exquisitely carved to show the lion and phoenix symbol of Xu Country.
The huge fireplace to his left was extravagant and old fashion, he wondered if they still use it during the winter. Then he eyed the image of the President above the fireplace. It was a charcoal realistic portrait of the president while he was still new to his term.
"Mr. Ye."
Ye Wan stood and looked at the man who welcomed him. He shook the man's hand, who introduced himself as Xu Jihan. "Please take your seat, the President will be coming soon." Xu Jihan sat on the sofa opposite Ye Wan. He maintained a cordial smile as he gestured for his secretary to bring them refreshments. "How was your stay so far? I believe this is your first time in our country?" Xu Jihan asked.
"It could be better," Ye Wan answered without batting an eyebrow. "Obviously, the protests can be a little troubling. Especially knowing that I am from a Royal Family. Sometimes, I would wonder about my safety. I couldn't sleep at night as I keep on wondering if one of those farmers had heard about me."
The smile on Xu Jihan's face instantly vanished. The words of the envoy were pretty clear. He does not trust the ten people whom Xu Jihan assigned to guard him. Before he could react, however, Ye Wan suddenly smiled a smile that didn't reach his eyes. "Please don't take offense, I tend to talk like this. But I meant no ill will. I am just concerned that these protests would affect the economy of Xu Country. As a business executive, I tend to look at the business side of things."
What could Xu Jihan say? He gave the man a fake smile. For some reason, this Ye Wan reminded him of someone. He felt like he already met him in the past. Xu Jihan would never doubt his instincts. "Mr. Ye, I am a bit curious. It feels like, I have seen you before. In fact, I do feel like I have talked to you before. Please forgive me but I have been really busy with everything so, I tend to forget some things. Would you be so kind to remind me if we already met before?"
"Mr. Xu is jesting." Ye Wan snorted. "You are not someone that a mere mortal like me could easily forget. I am certain that we have never met before."
Xu Jihan nodded as he accepted his tea from his secretary. Then his secretary leaned towards him and whispered, "Mr. Ye never left his room since he arrived in the country. He had been sending his people out to request an audience. But he never once left his room."
Xu Jiha nodded. He had suspicions that the one instigating the protest. The person who is also from the Ye Family is this man. However, if he never left his room, then there is no way that he would be able to instigate that chaos. Especially not in Aiba, Saka, and Ibya Region. It would be very difficult for him to travel in those locations while he was still in the capital. "Hm… perhaps, I have seen you in Ye Country before. My cousin and I loved Ye Country because of its delicate deserts." Just the thought of the deserts made Xu Jihan cursed inwardly.
Lyca loved those desserts. If he had known that she would cause this much trouble, he would have poisoned those desserts when he gave her one.
"Mr. Xu, are you ill? You look… a little red?" Concern flashed in Ye Wan's eyes.
"Ah? I was just reminded by… a nasty cat who stole one dessert that I bought from Ye Country." Xu Jihan chuckled. "I always knew, I should have killed that cat since the first time I saw it. But I didn't and now… the cat stole my dessert."
