"Help me find my fiancé."

"Oh? You're looking for Bo Jinyan?"

"Not him! He's no fiancé of mine! My fiancé is Lin Jingxuan, who's been taken away by Mo Jiangye. I need you to help me find him." The woman cast a nervous look at him.

He shook his head with a smile that was not quite a smile. "Your fiancé is Bo Jinyan."

Gu Feirou spat out in disdain, "Bo Jinyan? I'm not interested in him. I told him to help me get the cornea of this particular person, but there's been no news to date."

The man began clapping his hands.

"What a fine taste you have in men."

His response stunned her a little before she recovered and asked, "Can you help me find Brother Jingxuan?"

He regarded her with a penetrating look. "Of course. That's not a big deal."

The woman felt uncomfortable under his piercing stare. "T-Thank you."

"The thing is, what if I can't find him?"

"Then I won't be returning to Blue Tower."

"Hm… Are you saying that you won't ever return?"

Her face turned cold. "What are you trying to say?"

Yu Lingfeng walked over to the bedside, picked up an apple from the fruit basket, and started peeling it. "He's dead."

"W-What?"

"Well… The fiancé you're talking about is dead."

"No way."

The man cut the apple into bite-sized pieces and began elegantly eating them. "Lin Jingxuan, the Young Master Lin you're talking about, was kicked out of his family by his grandfather. He was taken away by Mo Jiangye on x.x.xx.x.x date and died in a cell on x.x.xx.x.x date."

"YOU!"

"Say, are you sure you don't want to return to Blue Tower, my dear sister? In that case, I'll return with your fiancé first.

"You can rest a.s.sured. I'll let our mother know about your wishes upon my return to Blue Tower. We'll never bother you or interfere with your life again. You can lead the life you've been living all this while without having to worry about being hara.s.sed."

The woman was in a complete state of panic. It took her a long time before she recovered from the news of Lin Jingxuan's death.

This is ridiculous! Dead? Brother Jingxuan is dead? How can this be?

"Hm? Say something, my darling sister. Will you be returning to Blue Tower with us?"

Scalding tears leaked from the corners of her eyes and streamed down her face. "N-No… He isn't dead."

There was no reaction whatsoever from her brother as he watched her cry her heart out while continuing to munch on his apple. "Need you be so sad over a mere man? Bo Jinyan is the fiancé that our mother has selected for you and he's definitely a hundred times better than the man you used to call Brother Jingxuan. Of course, if you don't like him, you can have your pick of men in Blue Tower. There's bound to be someone that suits your taste."

"Get lost!" She grabbed the pillow that was beside her and smashed it down hard against his head.

This scene gave Jing Xinze, who had been standing in a corner of the room all this while, quite a bad shock.

Thud… The piece of apple in Yu Lingfeng's hand fell to the ground. The indolent yet nonchalant look he had on his face instantly turned into a terrifying, fearsome expression that frightened her witless.

"I-I… I…"

As he squinted at the woman on the bed, he slowly rose to his feet. "Let's go, Jing Xinze."

"Yes, Young Master."

Just as they were about to walk to the door, Gu Feirou frantically said, "I was wrong, brother. I'll return to Blue Tower with you."

I have nothing left here and no one to rely on save for the t.i.tle of Blue Tower's Royal Princess. It would only make it way too easy for that b*tch Ye Erruo to kill me if I lost this t.i.tle too.

His lips lifted into a mocking smirk as Yu Lingfeng slowly turned around and faced his sister. "That's a wise decision."

"Brother, there's something that I need to do before I go back with you. Otherwise, I'll leave with grievances."

"Well, what is it?"

"Since you have wide social connections here, can you help me get the cornea of a particular person?"
