“Ye Fan, why didn't you allow me to clarify the situation earlier on? You will get into trouble with your wife if other people get the wrong idea.”
After the banquet, Ye Fan was not in a hurry to leave.
He still had to bid Junie farewell.
On the way back, Noa was walking beside Ye Fan and eyed him in puzzlement.
Deep down, she was feeling hopeful.
Unfortunately, Ye Fan smiled and said, “It doesn't matter if I explain myself or not. At most, I will be known as a rake. But, it's sort of protection for you. Naturally, there are pros and cons. The title of Mrs. Chu will grant you protection, but it will also affect your marriage prospects. In the future, if you meet someone you like, you can always explain it to him. There's no need to worry about me. Noa, as acquaintances, I genuinely hope that you can find your happiness one day. All right. I will let Junie know that I will be leaving today. If it's fated, I'm sure we will meet again.”
Ye Fan bade Noa farewell with a faint smile on his
face.
With that, he flew off to Elysian Hall.
Noa was left standing there all by herself. She glanced at Ye Fan's figure as he left.
“Ms. Vias, how are you?”
“You look very pretty today, Ms. Vias!”
“Ms. Vias, is everything all right?”
“If you need any help, please don't hesitate to let us know.”
Not long after, the members of the royal family greeted Noa respectfully as they passed her.
In the past, those big shots did not give a d*mn about her.
In their eyes, she was a young and inexperienced woman who became the head of the Vias family by chance. Those older nobles did not think too highly of her.
They felt Noa was not fit for that position and would not be capable of safeguarding her father's vast
wealth.
At the present moment, the members of the royal family looked at her in a completely different light.
Before this, all of them were very arrogant when they saw me. Despite me greeting them respectfully every time, they ignored me. Now, I stand here and don't even bother to look at them. Yet, they come up to me on their own accord and greet me with such respect. Their arrogance is gone.
Noa noticed the vast change in everyone's attitude toward her.
However, she was well aware that the change in the way they treated her had nothing to do with her.
Instead, it was because of Ye Fan. Those people thought she was Ye Fan's woman!
It was apparent that the title of Mrs. Chu had brought her prominence and protection.
Noa would not deny that she enjoyed the perks, but she knew it was all an illusion. None of it was true.
The moment Ye Fan's real wife appeared, she would be exposed as the fake Mrs. Chu.
Deep in her heart, Noa wished that the title could be hers and hers alone forever.
“No man can ever be compared to you. Ye Fan, you told me to look for the man I love. But, how do I do that after having met you? How can I find another man who makes me happier?”
Looking in the direction that Ye Fan had flown off, Noa was filled with sorrow. She shook her head and let out a long sigh.
She knew she would not fall in love with another man otherthan Ye Fan in her current lifetime.
Ye Fan appeared again at Elysian Hall.
At that moment, Junie was giving a speech to a group of disciples in the main hall.
Those disciples had joined very recently. As the head of the faction, it was only appropriate for her to speak to them.
Ye Fan hid among the crowd and looked up at the commanding woman.
Somehow, Ye Fan felt a sense of distance.
She was usually very gentle in front of him. He could not imagine her to be so authoritative.
Ye Fan had no idea which was Junie's true identity.
“Ye Fan, you're here. Why didn't you tell me?” chided Junie when she spotted him after her speech.
Ye Fan chuckled before replying, “It's fine. I just want to listen to your speech and see how domineering you can be.”
