Chapter 396: Chapter 397: Hate Most When Women Play Hard to Get

Could a girl who requires the Queen’s, Leng Xiaoye’s, use of her old friends’ power to be found be an ordinary person?

Of course not!

Returning to the computer, Leng Xiaoye swiftly logged into her email, opened the newly received information, and read through the words on the screen as her relaxed brows gradually furrowed.

"Gaia?!"

It seemed that things were far more complicated than she had imagined!

...

...

Four Seasons Hotel, top-level suite.

Moses stood on the balcony, gazing distantly at the beautiful and prestigious building in the city center, while his assistant reported the news they had just gathered.

"The young lady has returned to the Capital, but she didn’t go back to the manor in the suburbs. Instead, she checked into the Duke Residence. Half an hour ago, Huangfu Jue visited the Royal Palace and has just left."

Moses frowned slightly.

"How about the media?"

"All major media are currently probing for news, but so far, nothing fresh has surfaced," the assistant shrugged. "As you know, the mainstream media in A Country are basically controlled by the Royal Family. Without permission from the Imperial Palace, they don’t dare to write recklessly."

Just as Moses was about to speak, the door was gently pushed open by a bodyguard.

"Sir, Miss Qian would like to see you."

Qian Xueying?

"Let her in."

With a command, Moses stepped towards the sofa, and, turning, he took a seat.

The bodyguard returned, and indeed, Qian Xueying followed behind, clothed in a black mourning dress.

Clad in a black gown that made her skin appear as white as snow, her face betrayed weariness.

"Please sit," Moses suggested gently with a nod of his chin. Qian Xueying smiled and bowed in gratitude, then took her seat on the smaller sofa, taking a box from the assistant and presenting it to him with both hands, "I was unable to entertain you properly during the funeral, please don’t take offense, Mr. Moses."

Glancing over the box before him, Moses lifted the corners of his mouth slightly, "Miss Qian, you’re being too courteous. Such a gift hardly warrants a personal visit."

Just to deliver a gift, it wouldn’t make sense for the young lady herself to come. She undoubtedly had another purpose for coming.

Of that, Moses was acutely aware.

He was not in the mood to play a game of cat and mouse with her; he simply hoped she would say what she needed to and then disappear from his sight.

"If I have disturbed you, that is truly regrettable." Qian Xueying stood up from the sofa, "Since you are not in good spirits, I will not impose any further. Farewell!"

Was he mistaken?

Watching Qian Xueying’s forward steps with narrowed eyes, he took a deep breath.

"Miss Qian, please wait."

A flicker of imperceptible color flashed across Qian Xueying’s eyes as she turned, smiling, "Mr. Moses, is something the matter?"

Moses rested his hands on the back of the sofa, "I don’t have much time to waste on you. If you have something to say, Miss Qian, be direct about it."

If it had been any other woman, such disdain from him might have been hard to take, but Qian Xueying just self-deprecatingly shrugged, "Why should I bother when I know I’ll be rejected?"

Moses narrowed his eyes, "I hate it most when women play hard to get!"

Qian Xueying took out an invitation from her handbag and walked back to him, "An invitation to the Royal Banquet. My father is too unwell to attend. As you know, given our current situation, I need a powerful male companion to prevent others from coveting the Locke Family."
