"oh I don't need you to ward them off" the man shrugged his shoulder, "I can deal with them" giving the women a cold look; But instead of getting scared of his cold look the women blushes more and some even shriek almost hurting her eardrums.
"Could you go and deal with them" she waves her hand shooing him away from her. "I don't want to be trampled by your admirers." Seeing some of the women was glaring at her.
"Don't worry, I'll protect you" the man stubbornly stood there while giving her a side smile.
Ai Fei sighed and gently massage her forehead feeling a headache rising.
"You know, you have to be patient with me" the man said.
"Why is my so called father need you?" understanding what he meant, "What's your business anyway?"
"The first time I saw you, I knew you were too mature for your age." The man stared at her for a while; he was actually complimenting her for noticing that Mr. Jiang was using her for business connection after seeing she was able to get the attention of the third princess from Ni Country and him.
"It is not my business that Mr. Jiang wants. He wanted to have a connection to the family that I'm working for." He turns his head back to look at the stage, "that family was basically the law in Tai Country. So, I'm sure you can guess the reason why Mr. Jiang was so eager to get my attention."
"It is alright for you to say that to me?" she asked.
"I trust you" he said. Ai Fei looked surprise, "so are you falling in love with me now?" he gave her a teasing smiled.
Ai Fei rolled her eyes and was about to retort back but someone walked towards them.
"Hello!" Maritel Beni – the third princess from Ni country smiled at her.
Ai Fei did the greeting like what she did in their first meeting before saying anything to the princess.
The charity event ended and highlight of the event was the group composing of the Third princess of Ni country, the man from Tai country and Ai Fei who was having a friendly conversation at the far corner of the hall.
***
It is only a month remains before her graduation. Ai Fei was sitting leisurely at the living room watching local movie while eating snacks serve by Aunt Chunmi.
She may look like watching the movie but her mind was wandering around.
Ai Fei couldn't believe it that this side character has a sad background. Maybe it was this body wish to be reunited with her twin brother and triggered all those memories.
