Chapter 38 - Looks like we've reached an agreement

As a princess of a kingdom, she had a fortune to splash. It was not of course about money. Yes, she had power but not the absolute power. It must be it. Thought Li inghao.

“You go to the same college with him but you went out with his friend Nancheng Lie. For that reason, you should stay away from him. As for the incident, he compensated you financially and lawfully. Even if it involves two countries, my nephew didn’t do anything wrong. Besides, you alone is far enough to be a diplomatic issue. No matter how, there is no reason he could stay close to you.” Frise argued with reasons. Therefore, Li Qinghao also suspected that Keqi was up to something as he kept close touch in Li Qinghao.

He knew that he was not real Li Qinghao. So he didn’t act or speak like him. His change must be the reason why the enemy behind the assassin paid extra attention to him.

He was sure that Keqi was one of his enemies. He didn’t understand why at first but he did when he found out that his father was the prince of Leiluo and Keqi who disguised as him was the heir to the throne. All of these ware because of the throne.

But the story he knew was just a tip of the iceberg.

“I get what you said.” Li Qinghao stood up, bowing slightly to Frise like a gentleman, “From now on, I will not see him again. What do you think?”

“What if he insists?” asked Frise.

Li Qinghao remained calm on the outside but got nervous on the inside. Only the dead could keep their promises. Only those who were separated by death never meet again. Li Qinghao wouldn’t be so calm if he was not sure that the woman wouldn’t kill him. “I will do whatever you want me to.”

She was using him as a tool.

“You are smart.” Frise liked his attitude. “But I know that dogs bite their owners too.”

“So…” Li Qinghao asked, raising his eyebrows. He didn’t mind being compared with a dog because she didn’t mean to look down upon him.

“If I have dog treats in my hand, I have nothing to worry about. Don’t you think so?” Frise smiled, “Yous father’s business seems to be going very well.”

“I see.” Said Li Qinghao cautiously.

What a calm man! Frise was impressed by Li Qinghao. But Li Qinghao didn’t tell her that dog bit even faster if the owner had food in hand.

“It looks like we’ve reached an agreement.” Frise flapped her hands together, “I need you to keep close to my nephew.” There was brutality in her eyes.

“Oh?” Li Qinghao was surprised but not too much, “what are you expecting us to be?”

“Make people believe that you are a couple. If you are a real couple, you will have my sincere blessing.” She smiled.

If the only prince of Leiluo Kingdom was a gay, she would be crowned as a queen. Li Qinghao also figured out. For now, he had to do what she said for the sake of Mr. Li and Mrs. Li, his current parents. Besides, he had backup plans.

“May I know if my parents are safe now?”

“I didn’t and I won’t disturb them as long as you listen to me.” Frise gave her words. She was not interested in wasting her time on commoners.

“I see. Can you let me go now?”

“No.” Frise stood up and looked at Li Qinghao with guilt, “I like to talk to smart people because they are easy to communicate. If I let you go now, my nephew would suspect us and he will save you like a hero.”

After Frise left, Li Qinghao started to enjoy the TV alone in the room. There were guards outside the room. He was not in a hurry to know his whereabouts or escape plans.

He stared at the TV as if he was interested in it. In fact, he had a lot on his mind.

This woman had no intent to kill him. But those killers who Mu Yinting fought against were apparently different from her because they came after his life.

Finding out who they were puzzled Li Qinghao the most, even more than the assassin two years ago, what was Kei up to, and even his parents’ safety.

Mu Yinting, you can deal with them.
