C698 Master Shen's concerns

"Mm, not afraid. I was just afraid that you'd run away and not want me. "

He wrapped himself around Liu Ruo Qing and said coquettishly, as if she was a child.

In an angle that Liu Ruo Qing could not see, his eyes became serious and her brows knitted together abruptly.

He had some confidence that eighth brother would handle this case, but sixth brother …

It was not his fault that he suspected Sixth Brother, he had not seen Sixth Brother for more than ten years, would Sixth Brother let Qing Er go because of him?

Shen Mansion —

Shen Chong hurriedly followed the butler to the manor's entrance, and saw the elegant and refined man waiting there.

"This commoner pays his respects to the King Rui Lord."

Shen Chong immediately knelt down and saluted. Then, as Shen Chong was kneeling on the ground, he hurriedly moved to the side and avoided's salutation.

"There's no need to stand on ceremony outside of Steward Shen."

Yan Xiao bent over and personally pulled Shen Chong up, then added, "There's no need to bow to this king again in the future."

"Thank you, Your Highness."

Shen Chong didn't notice Yan Xiao avoiding his large gift a moment ago, and upon hearing his words, he felt that this prince was rather approachable, so he could only express his thanks.

"Please come in, Your Highness."

Shen Chong had never expected that the Prince Rui would pay him a visit so suddenly. He was so nervous that his palms were sweating.

"Your Highness, you've come here today for …"

"This King is here to look for Miss Shen."

Shen Chong was so scared that he staggered and almost fell to the ground.

"Find..." "My daughter?"

He had never expected that Prince Rui, who had suddenly returned to the capital and suddenly visited his home, would actually call on his daughter?

Could it be... Qin Er did something?

~ No, Qin Er is so obedient, how can she do anything? Even if she did, there was no need for the King Rui to personally come and capture her.

Or could it be that Qin Er had offended the King Rui?

That was even more impossible?

How could Qin Er possibly offend these two people who could not even be touched?

Could it be that his own daughter was taken in by the King Rui Lord? Shen Chong was shocked by his own astounding thought.

But then he thought, that's not right, King Rui Lord is already so old, he is ten years older than Qin Er, isn't that the same as an old cow eating tender grass?

Shen Chong felt that he must be overthinking things, thus, he shook his head, not daring to think about it.

After welcoming Yan Xiao into the hall, Shen Chong said to the butler: "Go and call Miss over."

"Yes, master."

After the butler left, Shen Chong looked at Yan Xiao with some hesitation.

He was a wealthy businessman and had met a lot of high ranking officials, including the Prince Jing. He had met him a few times as well.

But now, this King Rui Lord who had not returned to the capital for more than ten years, had come looking for his daughter the moment he asked for her. It would be a lie if Shen Chong did not feel anxious.

Right now, he only had this kind of precious daughter, what if he really gets chosen by this "old man", King Rui.

Don't blame Shen Chong for thinking too much, the King Rui Lord had never interacted with their Shen family, and even more so, his daughter. How could he suddenly come to find Qin Er?

He secretly sized up Yan Xiao, but Yan Xiao calmly sat in the middle of the hall. No matter how he looked at him, Yan Xiao seemed to be able to guess what this person was thinking.

The servants brought the tea up, Shen Chong stood up quickly and received it from the servants, bringing it to Yan Xiao, "Your Highness, please have some tea."

Seeing Shen Chong personally bringing the tea to him, he quickly stood up from his seat, and once again avoiding Shen Chong's greeting, he extended his hands out to receive it, "Master Shen is being too courteous."

Shen Chong returned to his seat and sat down. Seeing Yan Xiao rushing up to avoid his bow, he felt it was strange, but he did not say anything.

He thought to himself: "I'm not your father-in-law, what are you doing avoiding a ceremony?"

But in the next second, Shen Chong was once again shocked by his own thoughts.

No way! This brat really likes his Qin Er, and he hasn't even said a word, yet he wants to avoid the formalities of his father-in-law?

Shen Chong was about to cry, his daughter did not want to marry this old man.

But if he really took a fancy to it, what could he do?

He secretly sized up Yan Xiao, and at that moment, his eyes looked as though his father-in-law was looking at his son-in-law.

After sizing up the class, he sighed in his heart.

This guy has to look good, have to have a family background, have to be good in terms of character, it was more than enough to go with Qin Er.

The biggest flaw was that he was already a bit old and hadn't gotten married even at the age of thirty. Could it be that there was some kind of problem with that?

Shen Chong's gaze calmly fell on Yan Xiao …

Originally, Yan Xiao had allowed Shen Chong to size him up, but now, he felt that Shen Chong's gaze was a little strange, so odd that he felt uncomfortable.

Why did he see some sympathy in Master Shen's eyes?

"Cough, cough!"

He could not help but cough lightly as he held the teacup, pulling Shen Chong's train of thoughts back to reality.

Shen Chong was also a little embarrassed as he quickly covered his face with the lid of his teacup and drank a few mouthfuls of tea in order to hide his embarrassment.

"Your highness, you've come to find my daughter this time …" "What is it?"

If he has taken a fancy to his daughter, don't blame him for not treating him as a prince. Take a broom and chase him out.

Yan Xiao instantly felt a strange hostility in the eyes of the person in front of him.

Suddenly, a trace of malice flashed through Yan Xiao's heart. He put down the teacup and pursed his lips with a smile, "This king … I fell in love with your daughter at first sight and wanted to ask Miss Shen out to admire the flowers. "

"Puff …"

Shen Chong, who had just finished drinking the tea in his mouth before he had the chance to swallow, instantly spat it out. He no longer cared about the identity of the person in front of him and angrily shouted: "What did you say!?"

"Daddy!"

Just as Shen Qin walked out of the door, he heard what Yan Xiao said to him. She was stunned in place for a long time, until she heard his father's furious voice. Only then did she recover from her shock, and before his father could lose his temper, she hurriedly went forward to stop him.

When Yan Xiao saw her, he smiled and greeted her affectionately, "Qin Er."

"Dammit, who allowed you to be called intimate!?"

The thing that Shen Chong was most worried about finally happened. His daughter was at this age.

He looked around but didn't find any stick, so he just picked up his chair and smashed towards Yan Xiao.

The servants screamed out in fear, while Shen Qin broke out in a cold sweat, "Daddy!"

Did her father pass out from anger? Did he not know the identity of the person before her? How dare he move a chair to smash it!

Fortunately, Shen Qin was faster by a step, and when Shen Chong threw the chair down, she snatched it away.

"Daddy, don't be angry first, Master King Rui is only joking with you."

"Is that so?"

Shen Chong glared at Yan Xiao. He couldn't believe that this kid who was so polite and kind to him could have any good intentions towards her daughter.
