Chapter 619 - 624: Then Aren’t You Some Sort of Prince?
When Lou Xining and Shang Dongyuan arrived, they found Ran Xiangsi sitting safe beside Xing Chen, everyone was extremely shocked.
Seeing that Ran Xiangsi was still alive, the guilt in Lou Xining’s heart was slightly alleviated.
Xing Chen did not speak, only furrowed his brows slightly.
Fortunately, Xiangsi was fine, otherwise, he would make the Lou Family pay with their lives.
He wasn’t a kind person, nor did he need to take care of the bigger picture.
Sometimes, when he became crazy, he couldn’t even control himself.
Thankfully, Xiangsi was fine.
Seeing that Xing Chen had not spoken, Lou Xining continued, "From now on, the Lou Family will live quietly and will no longer disturb you."
This, perhaps, could be considered Lou Xining’s promise to Xing Chen.
The Lou Family would eventually be handed over to Lou Xining.
Upon hearing this, a slight ripple finally appeared in Xing Chen’s deep eyes.
He could let bygones be bygones, but... "The presidential election is imminent, and the Lou Family has considerable influence. I hope you won’t choose the wrong side."
Xing Chen’s meaning was clear to Lou Xining.
"Don’t worry, Mr. Xiahou is highly respected." Lou Xining understood well that Xiahou Chunyi had long begun to rally national votes.
It is always better to have the Lou Family’s support than not.
With Lou Xining’s assurance, Xing Chen also felt reassured.
In the small courtyard, Xiangsi and Alan seemed to be talking about something joyful, both laughing in the gentle breeze, looking beautiful beyond words.
"Xiangsi has a friend named Chu Xiaoge who has lost contact these past days. Xining, you have a wide network in A City, please help me find her," Xing Chen said again, his tone very calm, as if returning to the past.
For someone as high and mighty as Xing Chen to be friends with Lou Xining was already an act of humbling himself.
His tone naturally remained aloof, but Lou Xining didn’t mind these things. Now, hearing him speak in such a manner, Lou Xining turned his head in astonishment to look at Xing Chen.
Seeing his usual expression, Lou Xining felt happy once more.
"Okay, rest assured! I will do my best!"
Lou Xining knew that when Xing Chen was willing to call him Xining, it meant that the barrier between them had completely dissolved.
Xing Chen nodded slightly and said no more.
Lou Xining, however, couldn’t suppress the joy and excitement within, accompanying Xing Chen as they watched the courtyard below.
The communication between men can sometimes be so tacit and unpredictable.
...
Twelve hours later.
The Wilson family’s private airstrip.
A fifty-person reception team stood in orderly rows, all there to welcome their young master home.
Xiahou Xiu Yun was the first to disembark, with Ran Xiangsi supporting Xing Chen as they walked behind.
As soon as Ran Xiangsi deplaned, she immediately noticed that the group ahead consisted entirely of Southern Federation people, all dressed in military uniform!
This... why would there be a military reception when Xing Chen returned?
Isn’t it a bit too much...
Xing Chen instantly saw the confusion in Xiangsi’s eyes.
He smiled gently, like a spring breeze.
"The Wilson family is a branch of the Southern Federation Royal Family, and few outsiders know that it retains the right to mobilize troops."
Xiangsi listened, half understanding, increasingly aware of the extraordinary identity of the man beside her.
"So, you’re like a prince or something?" She rephrased it, making it simpler and easier to understand.
Xing Chen pondered for a moment, then nodded, "You could say that."
The Wilson family branched out from the Normandy Dynasty, transcending the limitations of royalty while maintaining a nobility equal to that of a dynasty.
