Madam Li's Identity Is Exposed Again!

Chapter 1185: Chapter 1185: You Took My Words as Idle Talk

The sunlight outside the window spilled onto the man, giving his exquisite features a metallic luster, making his features appear more three-dimensional and handsome. Clearly, his appearance was gentle and elegant, almost angelic, yet those peach blossom eyes were indifferent and cold, devoid of any emotion.

It was Xi Zelie!

How could Xi Zelie be at her house?

Scarlett met the man’s gaze, suddenly taken aback. Before she could regain her senses, the man had already looked away. He stood up, ”Since Prince William has returned, I won’t disturb you any longer.”

”Ah Lie, stay a while longer, don’t mind me. I need to go upstairs and chat with your younger sister.” Prince William’s attitude towards him was very friendly, not at all like the distant relationship portrayed outside between him and the son from his princess’s previous marriage. He glanced at the stunning young woman beside him and said, ”Kou Wenjing finally got to see you, just accompany her and have some water.”

Xi Zelie’s expression did not change at all, and he coolly said, ”I’ve already had water, so I won’t stay.”

Prince William knew he was unwilling to stay because he brought Scarlett back and seemed to have something going on, so he didn’t want to linger and intrude.

He didn’t know how to explain it to the other party and looked helplessly at the person beside him.

Kou Wenjing exuded elegance and nobility to the extreme, her appearance was five-tenths similar to Xi Zelie’s, but her aura gave an even more secluded and indifferent impression.

She frowned slightly, did not try to keep him, and simply said, ”Be careful on the road.”

If it weren’t for William knowing she had wanted to see Xi Zelie for a long time, he would have thought she was unconcerned about her son.

Xi Zelie nodded his chin as an acknowledgment, then strode away with his long legs, not looking back.

”Ah Lie...” William’s azure eyes revealed a hint of urgency, wanting to help retain him for a bit longer.

The elegant woman, so beautiful that her age was indeterminable, had already held him back, ”Let it be, if he wants to leave, let him go.”

”But you...”

”He will be staying in Country W for a period of time, I’ll still have the chance to see him.”

Only then did Prince William let it go.

Kou Wenjing turned back and looked at Scarlett at the top of the staircase, asking, ”What’s the matter, Scarlett?”

Scarlett’s heart skipped a beat, looking at her with a hostile gaze.

Whenever this woman was around, her daddy was always particularly displeased with her, usually because this woman was stirring things up.

William, bringing this up, was already unhappy, and his expression darkened, ”Ask her what she did!”

”Daddy, what did I do, you have to tell me so I can know,” Scarlett replied in extreme grievance.

William slammed the table in anger, ”You still have the face to ask! Don’t you know what you’ve done yourself?”

”I’ve told you countless times, as a princess, as part of the royal family, enjoying the taxpayers’ contributions, you must shoulder the appropriate responsibilities! I don’t ask you to excel, but at the very least, be someone with proper worldviews, be a good role model for others! You’ve treated my words like the wind passing your ears!”

Scarlett, even more aggrieved, argued, ”I’ve been bustling for charity, all the rewards from the activities I’ve participated in have been donated to the welfare institution. I don’t think I’m not a good role model in any way.”

”Your idea of a good role model is publicly revealing your marriage criteria to the journalists and media without restraint? And your marriage criteria conveniently involved Li family’s Li Beijue, hmm? Don’t you know the scandal you’ve stirred up? And at this time, you’re spilling the beans about this?”
