"Thank you, Ye Xingyu... If it weren't for you, I really don't know what I would do." Ling Qitang said and hugged Ye Xingyu.
"Fool, you are my girlfriend." Ye Xingyu kissed Ling Qitang's hair.
While the two were deeply in love, Nicholas outside met a woman who seduced him.
I saw a charming woman curling up. Her steps were light and seductive. Every step seemed to weave an invisible love network in the air, intending to wrap Nicholas tightly around him.
The moonlight fell on her through the window panes, reflecting her graceful and poetic figure and flowing black hair.
She stretched out a hand as white as jade to Nicholas, "Hello, Mr. Nicholas, I'm Knightley. Nice to see you here... Actually, I really... haven't seen you for a long time. is you."
"Long time no see, Miss Knightley."
Nicholas nodded slightly, but did not shake the offered hand. His deep eyes were like black holes, penetrating into the mystery behind this gorgeous performance.
"Hehe. I didn't expect that you would still remember me."
Knightley's laughter was gentle and contained an irresistible magic, "You are such a calm man."
After saying this, she straightened her delicate body and twirled leisurely in front of Nicholas, her skirt flowing like a picture.
"I've always liked people like you."
However, Nicholas' eyes were as cold as ever.
He didn't even look at the things Knightley had purposely exposed.
"But sometimes, it's really painful to like someone."
Then, Knightley was seen suddenly approaching Nicholas when he was unprepared, and her warm breath gently brushed against his ear: "I understand that you are not easily fooled. But sometimes, cooperation can bring us For the greater good.”
Facing the temptation, Nicholas' expression changed slightly, but he did not refuse outright.
"If you want to cooperate with me, what are your bargaining chips? Do you think I will accept what you give me?" he asked calmly.
"Intelligence, resources, and maybe even the fulcrum of power." A sly smile appeared on Knightley's lips, "The royal family of Aynos is complicated, and I believe that you and the power behind you also need eyes and help from inside.
And I know... what you care about most is Ye Xingyu. If I can help you and Ye Xingyu, then am I a worthy person and should I be liked by you? "
"These conditions are really exciting, I can't deny it." Nicholas pretended to be thoughtful, "But I'm curious, why did you choose me to be your partner?
Don't you know my true identity? Do you really think I can get what you want by working with you? "
"Because I see..." Knightley slowly raised Nicholas's chin, forcing him to look squarely into her mysterious eyes.
"You are wiser and stronger than others, and..." She caught a glimpse of Ling Qitang, who was showing alertness in the conversation in the distance, and her voice was so low that it was almost inaudible: "You are better at controlling everything. This is my favorite. You know Yes, no woman will reject a strong man."
As she spoke, Knightley deliberately stirred her hair. Any normal adult male would understand what that meant, "No man will resist the temptation of money, beauty and power. Unless you are not a man!"
At this moment, although she was exuding alluring charm, Nicholas was like an independent cold pool, extremely calm.
"You are indeed very perceptive of people's hearts." His tone was steady but powerful, "But if you want to cooperate with me, you have to convince me with facts."
Faced with Nicholas' request, Knightley, instead of being disappointed or sullen, smiled even brighter and dazzlingly:
"When the time comes, I will let you see my value. Please stay tuned!"
After her words fell, she stepped back gracefully, like a cat in the night, quietly disappearing into the shadows.
What is left is Nicholas, who is flashing a sharp edge in his contemplation, and Ling Qitang, who is always silent and extremely vigilant - they know that in this magnificent but undercurrent palace, every confrontation is possible. Subvert the entire game.
In the car, Knightley lit a cigarette, her eyes filled with coldness and murderous intent.
"This Nicholas is really troublesome, so difficult to deal with."
The man next to her couldn't help but laugh and reminded: "I've told you many times, don't underestimate those who can get out of the mountains of corpses. They are not fools."
Knightley blew out a smoke ring at the man, then blinked and said with a smile:
"You are right, this man is indeed very powerful...but what should I do...I am a person who naturally likes challenges. Because I love challenges so much...so I want to get him immediately. Will you help? Mine, right?”
"The Smith family is your biggest source of confidence. But it seems a bit difficult for you to want me to put all my chips on a plaything like you."
The man raised his eyebrows and smiled, playing with a small and exquisite doll in his hand.
This was given to him by Qi Liya.
Of course Knightley recognized the doll. She couldn't help but smile and said jokingly:
"I didn't expect that our Lord Kester is such an innocent man. You actually care so much about little Princess Qi Liya."
She smiled on the surface, but in fact she was already extremely jealous in her heart.
In her world, all men should be used by her, but the man in front of her was not.
Not only would he not be taken advantage of, but he also allowed her to devote herself time and time again, seducing so many people.
Then turning her head, she saw that he was obsessed with another woman.
Knightley felt it was unfair, so she thought to herself that as long as she was given a chance, she would definitely continue to be a monster.
She will never make it easy for many people, and she will never let those people go smoothly.
"Qi Liya is different from others." Kester smiled, then picked up Knightley's chin and said deliberately:
"I know you are jealous...but you have to understand that you are just a beauty I bought from the slums. Her bloodline is much cleaner than yours."
"No matter how clean your bloodline is, there's nothing you can do about it. The Ainos Palace is too dirty. You can't deny this, can you?"
Knightley smiled, she had known for a long time that Qi Liya was not a pure blood princess at all.
These princesses who look really good are actually all the same, none of them are of pure royal blood.
Otherwise, you will become a real fool.
"But if she is with me in the future...her bloodline will be pure." Kester smiled.
But Knightley thought that she could no longer trust Kester 100%.
