Rebirth: The Journey of an Heiress novel Chapter 935

Chapter 935: Chapter 932: Shocking

Xie Yuchang heard these words and thought... Indeed, what Yang Wuce said was true, His Majesty truly has an extraordinary relationship with Mr. Xiao Rongyan.

The gates of the Bai Mansion were wide open. Xie Yuchang came out from within, his armor covered with a layer of misty drizzle. He looked at the imposing Xiao Rongyan standing with an umbrella beside the carriage and solemnly cupped his hands towards Xiao Rongyan, "Mr. Xiao, His Majesty invites you inside."

Xiao Rongyan nodded in gratitude, lifted the hem of his plain robe, and stepped onto the stairs leading to the Bai Mansion.

Yue Shi wanted to enter but was stopped by the imperial guard.

Xie Yuchang glanced at Yue Shi and said to Xiao Rongyan, "Pardon me, Mr. Xiao, one cannot bring a sword when meeting His Majesty. Please have your guard surrender the sword to us for safekeeping by the imperial guard."

Xiao Rongyan turned his umbrella and looked at Yue Shi, "Wait outside then."

"Yes!" Yue Shi responded and retreated to the side of the carriage.

Xiao Rongyan folded the umbrella. His distinct outline, illuminated by the white silk lantern, appeared even colder and sharper, with a gentle yet intimidating presence that seemed to emerge.

Xie Yuchang remembered that Mr. Xiao was famously known for his refined demeanor, despite being a merchant, he possessed remarkable talent and a composed character, earning him a favorable view from royalty across various nations.

Who would have thought that after a year, Mr. Xiao changed so drastically? Could it be because he became His Majesty’s fiancé?

Xiao Rongyan stepped through the main gate and, through the gauze curtains beneath the corridor, saw Bai Qingyan and Bai Qingjue. He opened his umbrella and leisurely walked towards Bai Qingyan.

Seeing Xiao Rongyan approaching, Chun Tao went forward to lift the gauze curtain for him and received the umbrella from Xiao Rongyan.

Xiao Rongyan nodded slightly to Chun Tao and first saluted Bai Qingyan, "Miss Bai, Seventh Young Master!"

Bai Qingyan nodded slightly.

Bai Qingjue solemnly saluted Xiao Rongyan, "Mr. Xiao."

Xiao Rongyan offered incense to the Eldest Princess and then said to Bai Qingyan, "Today, I was originally outside Dadu City to greet Miss Bai, but unforeseen circumstances occurred, so I visit late at night. I hope Miss Bai and Seventh Young Master can forgive me."

"Mr. Xiao’s thoughtfulness is appreciated." Bai Qingjue stood with his hands behind and slightly nodded to Xiao Rongyan, "Surely Mr. Xiao didn’t come this late just to offer incense for my grandmother!"

"Miss Bai, may I have a word with you..." Xiao Rongyan’s gaze fell upon Bai Qingyan.

Bai Qingyan nodded and walked outside, holding Chun Tao’s hand.

Xiao Rongyan was about to follow when Bai Qingjue stopped him.

Xiao Rongyan paused his steps and turned to face Bai Qingjue, "Does Seventh Young Master have further instructions?"

Bai Qingjue solemnly performed a deep bow toward Xiao Rongyan, "Once, I could not reveal my benefactor’s true name. Today, as I meet Mr. Xiao in the capacity of a child of the Bai family, I, Bai Qingjue, must earnestly thank Mr. Xiao for saving my mother and me. If Mr. Xiao ever has instructions... I will do everything within my power! However, Bai Qingjue hopes Mr. Xiao understands that the debt is owed by Bai Qingjue, not the Bai family! Perhaps it’s my petty heart, but please, Mr. Xiao, do not use your favor as leverage to have my eldest sister return the kindness, or else I, Bai Qingjue, will be the first to refuse, and then I will fear betraying my benefactor."

Xiao Rongyan looked into Bai Qingjue’s calm and deep eyes, smiling as he spoke, "Today’s visit is by no means a request, Xiao Rongyan will never leverage a favor to Miss Bai, not today, nor in the future. On this point... please rest assured, Seventh Young Master." 𝘧𝘳𝘦ℯ𝓌𝘦𝒷𝘯𝑜𝑣𝘦𝓁.𝒸𝘰𝓂

The wind stirred the gauze curtain, and the rain whispered.
