Chapter 9 Heartbeat
Horton was quick to protect Xia Ji behind him. He then used some mental force to suppress her, and the woman fell straight to the ground face down.
However, the wine in her hand was out of control, and the moment she fell, it all spilled onto Xia Ji's exquisite evening dress.
“Ouch that hurts!
Sorry, sorry! I was just so excited to see you, Marshal, and wanted to say hello.
I didn’t expect that I would fall down.”
At this time, Donna stood up, patted her chest and breathed a sigh of relief, stuck out her tongue playfully, and then said:
"Luckily I didn't bump into you. Otherwise my spouses would be jealous again!"
Donna's playful and innocent tone caused everyone at the dinner party to burst into laughter, and they just thought that Charles' little daughter was so adorable.
However, Horton remained calm and said:
"You shouldn't apologize to me, it was her you almost hit."
"Eh? Your female companion? But isn't this okay?"
Donna grumbled a few times in dissatisfaction. Only then did she see Xia Ji behind Horton and suddenly said in surprise:
"Cousin! It's you!
I was so worried when I heard you were in the military prison! I almost thought you were going to get into trouble because of what I said. Fortunately, you are fine now!
It's all my fault. I was too careless."
Careless enough to get someone killed?
After hearing this, Xia Ji gave a mocking smile.
Count Charles, as a senior minister of the Tuska Empire's royal family, his granddaughter was visiting the Commonwealth and went to visit Horton's manor, where she happened to meet Xia Ji, a maid.
As if completely unaware of Xia Ji's suggestive and evasive look, Donna said in public in surprise -
"Isn't this Princess Xia Ji? Oh my God! Why are you here? And dressed like this?"
If she hadn't happened to come through, just because of Donna's words, the original little princess would have gone through round after round of desperate torture, and eventually her glands would have been bitten by the repeated markings.
The so-called heroine is naive and reckless to the point of appearing stupid. She appears to be kind and saintly on the surface, but she will bring disaster to others time and time again.
Is such a person worthy of being God's favorite?
Xia Ji sneered. Her eyes were meaningful:
"Yes! If you hadn't been so worried about me, I would have really suspected that your Charles family had surrendered to the enemy and betrayed the country."
"Oh, don't think too much, at least you're okay, cousin!"
"Don't worry, Nana. Miss Xia Ji is fine. Your grandfather will definitely not scold you when you go back!"
"Yes, yes, now everyone is happy. Nana, don't be unhappy."
Several of Donna's male beast mates also came to the dinner. When they saw Xia Ji's appearance, there was a moment of obsession in their eyes.
However, soon, seeing Donna's sad look, they couldn't help but step forward to comfort her out of pity.
There was almost a moment when Xia Ji wanted to pour the entire bottle of wine in the waiter's hand onto Donna and these people's heads to brainwash these idiots.
Fortunately, Horton said coldly at this time:
"Apologize!"
"Okay, okay, I'm sorry, cousin!
I was just careless, it's not a big deal."
The superficial apology was insignificant, so Xia Ji did not comment on it.
"Princess Xia Ji, your clothes are dirty.
Why don't you come with me to change into an evening gown? The lady has a spare one for her dinner party."
A maid suddenly came forward and wrinkled her nose at Xia Ji, as if hinting at something.
Xia Ji also didn't like the sticky feeling on her body, so she followed the maid to the lounge on the second floor.
However, just after she changed her dress, the maid suddenly locked the door.
The maid looked at the doors and windows cautiously, then knelt before her, performed a Tuscan royal salute, and said:
"Your Highness, I am a spy sent to the Federation by your fiancé Allen. This time, I am under his orders to rescue you from the Federation!
Don't worry, I have already made arrangements outside, and I will definitely send the princess back successfully!"
Soon, Xia Ji found out that the maid had been lurking in the Federation for more than ten years. As a shrewd spy, she had arranged the people who would send her back very well.
As long as she nodded in agreement, she would be able to return to the Tukas royal family smoothly soon.
However, Xia Ji shook her head at this time:
"Thank you, but I won't go back with you."
The spy from the Allen family was slightly stunned. She didn't expect Xia Ji to refuse. But she soon realized:
“Is it because of this monitoring collar?
Don't worry, Princess, I have shielded the signal here, so they can't hear it."
"No."
Xia Ji reached out and touched her belly. A happy smile appeared on the corner of her lips:
"I've said it before, I deeply love the Marshal. For him, I am willing to stay here."
“Your Highness! I heard that you have been kept in captivity by the marshals for more than a month. They don’t allow you to go out at all and have marked you permanently.
Even though he treats you like this, will you stay with him?
He doesn't love you just because you are pregnant with his wolf cub! Have you forgotten that your fiancé, Earl Allen, is still waiting for you to return? "
The maid's voice was a little sharp and piercing due to excessive surprise, and every word fell into the ears of Holden who was not far away outside.
Things turned out just as his brother had expected.
When Honosen released the news, it really attracted the spy from Tukas. So how would Xia Ji respond now?
Why don't you speak? Are you hesitating?
Holden put his clenched fists behind his back. He realized at this moment that he was more nervous than ever before while waiting for the answer. He was like a prisoner waiting for the judge's final verdict.
Will she choose to go back?
Yes, he never responded to her directly, and he kept her in the manor during her pregnancy, restricting her freedom.
Up to now, he has never given her the status of a spouse, nor has he been gentle and considerate to her.
Since she likes me so much, she must be very disappointed in him, right?
“I’m sorry about Lord Allen.
I only love the Marshal, even if he keeps me captive, imprisoned or marks me roughly, I still love him.
I am pregnant with his child now, and I will have more of his children in the future as long as he wants. I will only love him for the rest of my life."
The girl's delicate but pleasant voice was extremely firm. Holden was slightly startled when he heard it.
bang bang bang-
Suddenly, outside the transparent crystal glass window in the distance, fireworks were lit and bloomed in the night sky.
At this moment, the colorful fireworks bloomed in the night sky like shooting stars, just like his pounding heartbeat.
At this time, Xia Ji was in the house, also looking at the fireworks outside through the window.
The corners of her lips curled up slightly, not as pitiful as usual, but the sparkling light in her eyes showed her charm that could overwhelm the whole country.
In this trap set in the name of love, who is actually in the hands of whom?
Who will fall into the sweet trap, constantly struggling but willingly sinking completely and becoming her prey?
Dodder seems extremely fragile, unable to withstand even wind and rain. It can only climb on big trees and absorb nutrients from the trees to survive.
However, they did not know that the delicate dodder flower would completely wrap around the hardest and tallest trees, breaking through the tree's hard shell and strangling it completely in the softest way.
At this moment, the maid next to her saw Xia Ji's charming appearance in the fireworks. She was also a woman who stared at her in a daze until she heard Princess Xia Ji's voice and came back to her senses.
"You should leave quickly. You have sneaked in today and I am afraid you will be exposed soon. Try to find a way to escape quickly.
As for Earl Allen, if he is angry, he can cancel our engagement."
Earl Allen, in his memory, the young boy had only seen Xia Ji a few times, but he would blush every time he saw her.
Sometimes he would involuntarily transform into a half-beast in front of Xia Ji, and finally he could only panic and apologize to her with a red face, saying that he was too excited.
What a cute boy.
Although it was clearly a memory belonging to someone else, for some reason it was particularly impressive in Xia Ji's mind, making her feel happy and sweet whenever she thought of it.
Why is this?
Are she and Xia Ji in the book world really two completely different people? Then why does her mood fluctuate so much when she thinks about these things?
111 could not answer all of this. Xia Ji frowned slightly, walked out of the door and went straight to the empty back garden.
Surrounded by flowers, she sat on the stone slab with her knees hugged, looking up at the grand flames she had never seen before.
In a trance, she recalled the days in ancient times and all the memories of this poor princess.
She was coveted and possessed by men in ancient times, and the little princess was bullied because she was infertile. Why did they both leave such a deep impression on her?
However, no matter what the world is like, she will never believe in what men call love.
They were just after her looks and appearance. No one ever really understood her, and no one could empathize with her.
They don't understand her, so how can they get into her heart?
Honossen woke up from a nap in the garden. When he opened his eyes, he saw the stunning girl hugging her knees among the flowers, staring at the night sky in a trance.
Amid the grand fireworks, he had a look that was so lonely and pitiful.
Mom has given you a chance, hurry up and score points, little brother!
Show some respect for mom!
