The thing Xiao Jinyao regrets most in this life is impulsively saving Xie Qiaoyan back then.
That guy was just a child his father had brought back from the Xie family. They weren’t blood-related, yet the boy was immediately made heir apparent. He had Xiao Jinyao’s younger sister circling around him all day, and even the old ministers at court favored him.
Worst of all, even though Xiao Jinyao had deliberately kept his distance, he still couldn’t stop himself from stepping in when he saw someone bullying Xie Qiaoyan.
Who knew that saving him would leave him stuck with a clingy “leech” he couldn’t shake off? From then on, the man stuck to his side and kept saying, “I like you.”
As if he’d believe that!
But after one thing after another, Xie Qiaoyan not only stayed, he repeatedly risked his life for him. When he stood in front of Xiao Jinyao, his back was straight and he didn’t even furrow his brow.
The heart Xiao Jinyao had kept under lock and key finally skipped a beat.
He secretly got together with Xie Qiaoyan, hiding it from everyone.
Just when he thought everything would keep going so smoothly, disaster struck.
Xie Qiaoyan actually wanted to leave without telling him.
The man smiled and said he had something important to take care of and would come back once it was done.
But Xiao Jinyao saw through the clumsy lie at once.
With red-rimmed eyes, he pinned the man against the wall:
“Xie Qiaoyan, you got me involved, and now you think you can walk away unscathed? You took my throne from me, and your life belongs to me too.”
