Chapter 2414: Ying Bao (17)
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Ying Bao was not angry. She was just a little depressed. But she still respected him. If he did not want to jump, she would not force him.
Ying Bao was dancing with her classmates and friends. Huangfu Xuanye, who was standing outside the crowd, was quietly watching the girls on the stage.
No matter what position she was in, no matter where she was, he could lock onto her with a single glance.
Perhaps this was because she had always been in his heart and he could only see her in his eyes. Other than her, no one else existed!
At this moment, a servant came over with a tray. Huangfu Xuanye took a glass of champagne and took a sip.
His eyes were all on Ying Bao, so he did not notice the servant’s strange behavior.
Yi Na had successfully delivered the spiked wine to the king of the Northern Kingdom. He had already taken a sip.
Very good. It wouldn’t be long before he needed a woman to rest because of the effects of the drug. When that time came, she would help send him to the palace room to rest. Wouldn’t that be natural?
Huangfu Xuanye only took two sips before putting down his cup. Ying Bao had come to look for him.
“Uncle, do you want to dance?” Ying Bao was afraid that he would be bored at her birthday party.
“No need. I won’t embarrass myself anymore,” Huangfu Xuanye declined politely.
Ying Bao knew that with his identity here, it was not convenient for him to dance. She thought of what her mother had told her and thought that she should find a chance to make things clear with this uncle.
“Uncle, do you want to take the balcony for some fresh air? I have something to tell you,” Ying Bao suggested.
“Okay.”
Huangfu Xuanye pulled at his collar and suddenly felt a little dry. Perhaps it was because the temperature in the banquet hall was higher, he really needed to go and get some air.
They left the banquet hall and went to the balcony.
Yi Na watched as Huo Yinyin took away the king of the Northern Kingdom. She was extremely depressed. She had already made the preparations. What if Huo Yinyin and Huangfu Xuanye did it tonight?
At the balcony.
The breeze blew away some of the heat and Huangfu Xuanye felt much better.
“What do you want to tell me?”
Ying Bao lowered her head and looked at it. Then she raised her head and mustered her courage to say, “Uncle, I really, really thank you for all these years of care and companionship. But you’ve waited for me for so many years, yet I can’t repay you. I always feel like I’ve let you down.”
Huangfu Xuanye thought that Ying Bao had already made her choice.
“You fool, I don’t want anything from you, and you don’t owe me anything. I want to thank you for bringing me happiness.”
Even without her reminder, he knew that he could not give Ying Bao a happy life.
For the rest of his life, he only needed to see her well.
Ying Bao suddenly felt very sad as she stared at Huangfu Xuanye. Especially when she saw the sorrow hidden in Huangfu Xuanye’s eyes, her heart ached.
All these years, she had not been able to help him get rid of that sadness. She had not been of any real help to him. Instead, he had been guiding her, accompanying her, caring for her like a father and brother.
“Uncle, I...”
It was supposed to be a happy night, but Ying Bao felt like crying when she said such a sad topic.
“Iunderstand.”
Huangfu Xuanye did not need her to say anything. He knew what she was thinking. He smiled lightly and put his hands on her shoulders. He gently shook her hands and said with an encouraging look in his eyes, “Don’t blame yourself and don’t be sad. Do you know what my biggest wish is?”
