“Huang Fei, follow me… there is a small room here where you can see the people inside yet they wouldn’t be able to see you.” Xing Yi said as he turned his head and faced Jing Yue. He turned around and went into a flipped window. Jing Yue remained still. Tangled emotions burst in her heart as she stared at that opened window.

In the end, Jing Yue let out a long sigh and still went into that room. She moved near the screen, watching the scene inside the study through a peephole. What she saw first was actually that ******* expressionless face of Xiao Chen looking indifferent. It makes one wonder, what kind of things could make his expression change.

Jing Yue pursed her lips and s.h.i.+fted her gaze to the other side. A slightly old, resolute face was projected into her eyes. Jing Yue saw him, Jing Zhan, the eldest master of Prime Minister’s Residence. At this moment his brows were deeply furrowed as if he was worried about something hard to solve.

That day she saw Jing Zhan at the street, she didn’t know if it was because her heart was disturbed, but Jing Yue only felt that this man was a bit pitiful, yet today, seeing Jing Zhan sitting on wheelchair, Jing Yue suddenly felt her heart aching terribly. Although this heartache only flashed for an instant, it still made something unusual flashed in Jing Yue’s eyes.

In fact…… She must have still been looking forward to it!

Looking forward to have a family.

Jing Yue lowered her gaze slightly. Her mouth was tightly pursed. Countless emotions boiled in her eyes.

“Ninth Huang Shu, have you considered the things I said?” Jing Zhan said, staring at Xiao Chen.

“Eldest master Jing, have you really been prepared?” Xiao Chen narrowed his eyes and stared at Jing Zhan, saying, “You’re determined to take back the house master position?”

“Yes.” Jing Zhan’s face looked resolute. Just by seeing that bright vivid black eyes, you could already know that back then this person must have been a man that couldn’t be ignored by people. Even if he had aged, it still wasn’t difficult to see his handsomeness in those years back.

“Benw.a.n.g doesn’t understand, more than ten years ago you withdrew from all the disputes, so why have you decided to take back the house master position now?” There was a slight movement at the corners of Xiao Chen’s mouth. His eyes were filled with intention to probe.

“How could Ninth Huang Shu not know?” Jing Zhan showed a slight smile and said, “Jing Yue, she…… came back.” Jing Zhan’s voice was a bit raspy. Jing Yue, who was listening intently, suddenly heard her own name. She felt her body s.h.i.+vered. She held her breath and silently listened to the two men as they continue their discussion.

“I’ve searched for her for fourteen years but cannot find any information about her. At one point, I thought she had long lost her life.” Jing Zhan sighed. He said, “However, my heart has always carried a kind of obsession, unwilling to accept it… That’s the reason I have kept the Prime Minister’s Residence in control all along.”

“Is this the reason why you moved out of the Prime Minister’s Residence for so many years but didn’t move out of the Imperial city?” Xiao Chen frowned. There was a slight feeling in his heart.

“Yes… I held a thread of hope, hoping that she could grow up, come back and learn about her background. And now she had come back, but doesn’t recognize me, this kind of father.” Jing Zhan’s words were filled with pain. He clenched his teeth, saying, “Doesn’t matter, as long as I know she’s living properly, even if I cannot meet her, I am also satisfied.”

“Ninth Huang Shu, today I come asking for your help, it isn’t for my own self… It’s for Jing Yue.” Jing Zhan tilted his head towards Xiao Chen before saying, “I want to take the house master position and gain control of the Prime Minister’s Residence. Someday this Prime Minister’s Residence will be her backing, no matter what she does, I’ll pave the way for her.”

“She doesn’t recognize you as her father, why should you do things for her to this degree?” Xiao Chen spoke faintly with downcast gaze.
