Chapter 564 Finally Met Again

Chapter 564 Finally Met Again

Ran Xueyi stepped off the snowmobile and took her hand back, which the man had gripped tightly. But when she furrowed her brows, he quickly let go, as if nothing happened.

Taking her first step into the mansion, Ran Xueyi noticed several servants and maids lined up on each side of the entrance. Each wore their uniforms meticulously and without a strand of hair misplaced. And their heads hang low. "Welcome back, Master." Their voices rang simultaneously. The man who stood close to Ran Xueyi finally got rid of his mask. Gone was the gentle-looking man. What stood in front of her was the same youth that carried a dangerous and mischievous presence she remembered several years ago.

Evgenia turned around and smiled at her. "Sorry if I surprised you. But I couldn't wait and had to use a disguise to see you." "We finally met again." He thrust one hand out for her to shake. However, Ran Xueyi had no desire to take it. Heck, she even wanted to slap it away. Or, maybe, punch him. Geett the latest novels at novelhall.com

She didn't know why he had to attack Alina, abduct her, and kill so many people. The youth she knew back then was unrestrained, but not cruel. Had she not remembered those forgotten memories buried deep in her mind, she might've not recognized him anywhere. Ignoring his outstretched hand, Ran Xueyi spoke with a trace of anger in her voice. "Where is Alina?" Evgenia looked at her in surprise. Then his lips curled up. "Will you at least let me guide you to your room so you can rest before I answer your question? I know you have a lot to ask. But I'm worried you'll be too exhausted to meet anyone."

Frowning, Ran Xueyi couldn't muster a response. She was, indeed, tired. Even more so now that he mentioned it.

Just then...

"Xueyi!"

Then an impregnable silence occurred. It became so silent that not even the sound of breathing could be heard from the servants, maids, and even Ran Xueyi had to hold her breath as she stared at Evgenia, whose smooth and flawless face now had some cracks in it. And for a moment, Evgenia stood motionless, not appearing to hear or see anything else but Alina, who had just announced that he was a pervert. Then, as quick as a flash, he repaired the cracks that formed on his face and replaced them with a brilliant smile. "Now, now, how did my dear guest come to that conclusion? I am certain I never did anything indecent towards you." Evgenia smoothly cleared his name. Alina scoffed at him. "Never?"

"Yes, never."

Alina crossed her arms in front of her chest. She raised her chin up as she said, "Then, the act of you grabbing my tits isn't a sign of you being a pervert?" Evgenia blinked his eyes ever so slowly, as if he couldn't remember when he had ever grabbed her indecently like that. Alina felt offended at that. But, she was not one to be defeated just because a certain someone forgot the perverted act they'd done to her. "Hmph, on top of being a pervert, you're also a crappy liar," she snapped.

Evgenia's eyes narrowed. "Miss Alina."

She ignored him and turned to Ran Xueyi, who stood behind her and looked like she was assessing their current situation. "Listen, Ran Xueyi, at any cost, you must never get close to him," she warned Ran Xueyi. Now that things had become like this, Alina didn't want Ran Xueyi to face the enemy without knowing anything. "Promise me."

In all honesty, Ran Xueyi found the situation bizarre. But for the sake of her best friend's peace of mind, she nodded and reassured Alina. "Don't worry. I heard you."

Alina then pulled her into her arms, wrapping her in a tight embrace, before letting go. She turned to Evgenia again and said, "You don't have to call your men to drag me back to that room. I'll go there myself."

With that, Alina started walking down the hall and returned to the direction she came from, disappearing from their sights once she turned a corner. Only when they could no longer see her did Evgenia continue wearing a charming smile. He told Ran Xueyi, "Your friend, she's..."

"Feisty? Stubborn?" Evgenia nodded slowly. Ran Xueyi laughed. Seeing her smile calmed Evgenia. He soon relaxed as he watched Ran Xueyi's face for a brief moment.
