Chapter 739: Teasing
Translator: Lordbluefire
“Uncle King?”
Ye Xie, who was in the distant capital of China, lazily sat on the couch. He typed on his phone with a smirk: [Your uncle is doing fine. What’s up?]
Daisy was slightly taken aback.
For some reason, she felt that Ye Xie’s words carried a hint of… teasing?
She tilted her head, looking at the message from Ye Xie, and pondered for a moment before ultimately putting down her phone.
She couldn’t let King break the rules for her, and besides, she didn’t know if Uncle King would disregard the rules just because of her. So she hesitated and didn’t know what to say. While she was contemplating, another message from Ye Xie came through:
[What’s the matter? Do you need something from him?]
Daisy immediately replied: [No, no, I’m just concerned about Uncle’s health.]
Ye Xie, also known as the new King, saw the message and chuckled, and then made a video call.
The call was quickly ended by the other party.
Ye Xie raised an eyebrow, about to say something, but Princess Daisy’s video call came in. She must have tidied up her appearance, looking delicate and beautiful, with well-fitted clothes.
She smiled at the camera, as if she had practiced it a hundred or a thousand times. Her smile was the same as the one she showed on TV, a smile that was sweet and pleasing to others.
Her perfect appearance made Ye Xie curl his lips. “Why are you pretending to smile like that?”
Daisy’s smile slightly froze.
She coughed and then said, “Do you have something to discuss?”
Ye Xie sneered, “Isn’t it you who has something? Are you looking for King?”
Daisy didn’t understand why he referred to her father as King instead of Father, but she still said, “No, really, I don’t have anything.”
Ye Xie was skeptical, his aggressive gaze sweeping over her face without restraint, then he said, “If you have something, just say it.”
Daisy hesitated for a moment but shook her head. “There’s really nothing.”
Ye Xie scoffed, “Fine, if there’s nothing, then I’ll hang up.”
After he finished speaking, he was about to end the video call, but Daisy suddenly nervously exclaimed, “Wait!”
Ye Xie paused, his face showing a hint of impatience. “Speak.”
Princess Daisy stared at him for a long time before saying, “You should eat on time, don’t stay up late, and make sure to get at least seven hours of sleep every day, okay?”
“Annoying,” Ye Xie said impatiently, but instead of hanging up, he asked, “Anything else?”
“And…” Princess Daisy stared at the face on the phone obsessively, “Are you in a relationship?”
Ye Xie chuckled. “Not yet. My parents are not in a hurry, why are you in a hurry?”
Princess Daisy immediately became stuttered, “I, I, I…”
“Alright,” Ye Xie lowered his gaze. “I’m hanging up.”
After he hung up the call, his gaze remained fixed on the phone screen.
After a while, he placed his hand on his chest, where his heart was beating intensely, as if seeing Daisy just now had already ignited a passionate fire within him.
He sighed silently.
It had been six years since he was fifteen and unsure of his feelings.
Now, he was almost certain that he liked Daisy.
But he wasn’t sure if Daisy still liked him.
Was she willing to give up her identity as the princess of Country Y for him? After all, as King, he could not interfere in the internal affairs of other countries. That was the rule!
Thinking this way, Ye Xie became uncertain for the first time.
Well, he’ll ask her another day.
But his idiotic father didn’t even think through things carefully. With his father’s desire to stick to his mother like conjoined twins, how could he still be responsible for all the affairs of the king? His father had long abandoned the title of king and enjoyed a carefree life with his mother.
He didn’t even know where his father was now…
But why did Princess Daisy come to him in the first place?
Not understanding what had happened, Ye Xie sent his subordinates to investigate. “Go and see if the Karl family has arranged too many activities for her recently, causing her to be exhausted?”
His subordinate quickly provided feedback. “Princess Daisy is fine, she has been staying in the palace all along, and the Karl family hasn’t arranged many activities for her recently.”
Ye Xie narrowed his eyes, and after a while, he said, “Go and deliver a message to the Karl family.”
“What message?”
“Treat the royal family well. If they dare to disrespect the royal family, don’t blame me for being impolite.”
“Understood.”
The Karl family quickly received the feedback from the king and became even more attentive to the queen.
They even selected a few male companions for the queen and sent them to the palace.
Karl instructed his people, “Be polite to the queen and never neglect her!”
“What about Princess Daisy? Should we revoke her punishment?”
Karl smirked, “Revoke? The queen is the queen, and she is her. Haven’t you seen that we have punished her and the queen hasn’t come to us? I’ve heard that the queen doesn’t like this little daughter. In order to prevent her from threatening the position of her sister, the crown princess, she has never been properly cultivated since she was young!”
Upon hearing this, his subordinate seemed to understand something. “So, the more miserable Princess Daisy’s life is, the happier the queen is? After all, Princess Daisy represents the royal family, and the queen must be unhappy, right?”
Karl chuckled, “Exactly.. So, let it be known that the people guiding Princess Daisy should be even stricter!”
