Chapter 315: Chapter 313 A Beautiful Romantic Picture
Why didn’t he even think of calling the police?
Perhaps deep down, he believed that with the woman in such a sickly state, being in jail or not didn’t seem to make much of a difference.
Heaven had already given her punishment.
To trample on her now would only soil his shoes.
Thinking this, the tension on Ya Chen’s face gradually eased, but the warm, soft, and cold sensation on his lips still lingered.
He was annoyed at himself for not pushing her away in time when she flung herself at him and couldn’t help but mutter lowly, "Isn’t the air conditioning on? Open the window!"
The butler Pei and the few bodyguards responsible for the Crown Prince’s security were all taken aback. It was on.
The Crown Prince was somewhat off today.
But Butler Pei still commanded, "Open the window!"
As the car window opened, fresh air poured in, and Ya Chen’s mind finally calmed down.
After a while, he spoke indifferently, "Help me look into something."
Butler Pei hurriedly asked, "What is it?"
"Four years ago, on the day I accidentally fell into the garden’s pond, where were Jiayi and the second Miss from the Chu Family respectively?"
He spoke deliberately, his tone flat and unemotional, yet his eyebrows unconsciously furrowed deeply.
Damn it.
If that kind of woman could push her own sister down a mountain, what lies couldn’t she fabricate?
He had actually gone to investigate whether the words of that viperous woman were true or not.
Had he gone mad?
Perhaps the despair and sorrow encapsulated in that kiss were too dense and had muddled his sanity...
He restrained the confusion he had never felt in his life and took a deep breath.
——
That day, Butler Pei rearranged a room for Jiayi.
Jiayi moved to stay on the side of the master building.
Having lived in the castle for a few days, Jiayi felt much more relaxed than at the Chu Family’s place.
Taking advantage of this time, at Ya Chen’s suggestion, she visited all the big and small castles nearby, including the Ya Family’s castle.
Ya Chen’s intention for her to wander around Nanga City was to have her see the scenes of the old days, which might help her regain her memory.
But for her, there was just one reason to go out—the room was "dangerous," as that man might suddenly come looking for her at any moment.
If Xuan Yu heard about it, there would probably be more issues.
Until she found her mother and ensured her safety, she preferred to see as little of him as possible.
Moreover, in the eyes of the castle’s servants, she and Ya Chen were a couple.
Having overly close contact with that man gave her the subtle feeling of being unfaithful.
Fortunately, since she changed rooms, she was further away from Huo Zhenyang’s room, and as she was now on the master’s floor, that man probably wouldn’t have the audacity to come knocking anymore.
During this time, she had led a comparatively peaceful life due to her deliberate avoidance.
On a pleasant afternoon, after lunch, as usual, Jiayi planned to go downstairs for a walk nearby to help with digestion.
Just then, Ya Chen came over accompanied by servants, and at the doorway, his smile was as warm and comforting as the Nanga afternoon sun,
"Jiayi, have you finished eating?"
Their rooms were very close to each other, which made it convenient for Ya Chen to drop by occasionally.
Jiayi stood up, responding with a warm smile, "I’ve finished eating, Ya Chen."
Although he couldn’t see her smile, Jiayi knew he was very sensitive to people’s feelings when they faced him, so she generally smiled when speaking to him.
"Let’s go. Today is the open day for a nearby castle, and it’s bustling. I’ll take you to see it," Ya Chen extended his hand.
Jiayi paused, and under the smiling gazes of several servants and Ya Chen’s expectant look, she still took his hand in the role of his fiancée.
When they went out, a black SUV was already waiting outside.
Jiayi saw that the vehicle for the outing was not the formal limousine the Ya Family typically used for outings but a business van commonly seen on the streets, which perplexed her.
A servant nearby explained with a smile, "The Crown Prince knows that Miss Jiayi doesn’t like being disturbed when she goes out, so he asked us to keep it low-key and just prepare a regular vehicle."
Jiayi felt warmed by the thought, and Ya Chen took her slender hand, "Let’s get in."
The warm sun filled the sky as the SUV drove smoothly, and in a short while, they stopped at the castle they were visiting today.
The castles in S Country are a distinctive feature of the nation and a popular choice for tourists visiting the country.
The castles all have a sense of age, each brick and stone wall bearing the weight of history, with well-arranged architecture.
Apart from the castle where the Ya Family lived, which had been modernized, most other castles were standing idle.
The tourist nature castles had already been reclaimed by the government of S Country. They didn’t belong to the property of the Ya Family but were opened as tourist attractions, also generating annual revenue for S Country.
The castle they planned to visit today was one of the open ones, which had been vacant for a hundred years.
Indeed, on open day, the place was teeming with people.
The servants wanted to accompany them inside, but Ya Chen waved them off, "No need. Jiayi and I will just go for a stroll together."
Who would dare stop the Crown Prince from wanting some private time with his fiancée?
The servants bowed their heads and waited outside.
Jiayi wandered through the castle, rich with historical ambience, as tourists bustled around her.
Using her phone, she took some photos, and before she knew it, she had reached the main hall of the castle.
Worried that Ya Chen might be too tired, after all, his body was not quite like a normal person’s, she bent down, "Do you want to take a break?"
Seeing that he seemed to be sweating, she quickly took out a handkerchief and dabbed his forehead with tender care.
The woman was gentle and sweet; the man was elegantly distinguished.
From a distance, they looked like a sweet, young couple.
The petite wife took advantage of the pleasant weather to take her young, disabled husband out for some fresh air.
Such a beautiful scene.
Even the man’s physical flaws could not spoil this lovely, romantic tableau.
Ahead, amidst the crowded throng, a man’s gaze was sharp as an arrow, catching sight of this scene. His eyes instantly darkened and turned grim, filled with displeasure.
Huo Zhenyang’s ankle wrap had been removed, and for the past few days, he had been able to get out of bed and move around.
"What do you think of this castle, Boss Huo? As you can see, there’s a good flow of people. If you’re willing to invest, it’s a surefire profit. If you’re interested, we could find a classy club to sit down and talk things over in detail, about your group’s future investment... Boss Huo? Uh, Boss Huo?"
The man next to him, dressed in a suit and looking somewhat like an official, was speaking volubly, suddenly sensing that Boss Huo had ceased to respond and becoming suspicious.
The man was the Minister of the Department of Cultural Heritage of S Country.
By his side, George couldn’t help but offer a wry smile.
It was uncertain whether to say Miss Jiayi was unlucky or it was just an extraordinary coincidence.
Today, the Boss hadn’t specifically come to keep watch but was visited personally by the Minister of the Department of Cultural Heritage of S Country after learning of Boss Huo’s arrival in S Country.
