Chapter 4 - Lifting of the Cap

However, he wanted to see how his smart grandson would deal with it.

Beneath the red veil, Xia Ying was also extremely anxious. She had been gesticulating with her sharp hands for a long time, but Liang Ye did not react at all.

Liang Ye squinted his long and narrow eyes, his gaze swept across the women in front of him one by one. He raised his hand and pulled the sleeves of the woman beside him.

He pulled them over one by one and finally stopped in front of a petite woman.

”Grandfather, she's the person I chose!”

He took her hand, a smirk on his face. However, that smile didn't reach his eyes. It stayed on his face.

His palm was very cold, without the slightest hint of warmth. It could even be said to be the heat from hell itself. The hand Xia Ying was holding, also became colder and colder. She couldn't help but shiver as a layer of cold sweat covered her back.

”Oh?” Seeing that Liang Ye had made his choice so quickly, Liang Dong Xin could not help but feel surprised, but he nodded his head in satisfaction, and looked at Xia Ying who was in her wedding robe with a kind expression. Xiao Ye, are you sure? ”

Just as he finished speaking, the red cap on his head was suddenly lifted. Xia Ying looked up in shock, and coincidentally caught his eye.

A pair of jet black eyes, icy cold without any warmth. She shifted her gaze to the old man in front of her.

Even though Liang Dong Xin was old, he was still spirited, and his sunken eyes shone with a sharp light. When Xia Ying looked at him, he was not afraid at all.

”You are Xia Ying?”

The old man was the first to speak. Xia Ying hurriedly nodded, and took out his right hand from Liang Ye's grasp that was long icy-cold.

”Yes, I am Xia Ying.”

”Yes.” ”Yes.” Liang Dong Xin nodded, his eyes full of praise. Since Xiao Ye was able to find you amongst so many people, it means that you guys are destined to be together. Very good, from today onwards, you are my Liang Family's young wife. Someone, arrange a room for Young Mistress. ”

Liang Dong Xin turned and left, the lady behind followed with her head down. Xia Ying stood in his original position, not moving at all.

Liang Ye did not care about her, turned and walked up the stairs. He was tired. It was time to sleep.

”Hey!”

Xia Ying turned and called out to him. Actually, there were still a lot of questions he wanted to ask. For example, how did he find her?

”The wound on your hand.”

Liang Ye did not turn back, nor did his footsteps stop. As if he had already guessed what she was going to ask, he directly answered her question, and his ice-cold figure disappeared around the corner of the stairs.

Xia Ying lowered her gaze and looked at the red mark on her hand.

Deep into the night, the Liang Family Mansion was quiet. It was so quiet that one could hear the sound of insects outside the window. In the third floor of the villa, on the huge double bed, Xia Ying sat up straight like a carp.

This was the best time to investigate Liang Yu's whereabouts. At the very least, she could take advantage of this time to see how big the Liang Family was and how many rooms they had.

The loose pajamas on her made her look especially small. Xia Ying stood up, and her two jade legs dropped to the ground.

Barefoot, she carefully opened the curtains on the thick and clean wooden floor. In the moonlight, she could see the swimming pool downstairs, the pale blue water shimmering in the moonlight.

She saw the same scene in Liang Ye's room, but from a different angle. It looks like, her room should be next to his. But it didn't matter, as long as she went around his room, she wouldn't be afraid of anything.

Xia Ying turned around and tiptoed towards the door. There was no one outside. Under the dim lighting in the corridor, her small body was moving nonstop.

She carefully looked at the stairs to the third floor. There was still a fourth floor to go up, could it be that Liang Yu's room was on the fourth floor?

Xia Ying's body was leaning against the wall. She had just walked out for a short while and was about to lift her leg and head towards the fourth floor when a hand reached out from behind her and suddenly grabbed her.

Xia Ying's eyes widened as she screamed.

”Hm.”

Her lips were covered by someone, so she couldn't make a sound. The person behind her forcefully pulled her back, opened her mouth, and bit that person's palm.

The door was slammed shut and Xia Ying's body was tightly pressed against the cold door. She opened her eyes and, borrowing the moonlight, she could clearly see the man's face in front of her.

It was a face that was born to be possessed by demons. Under the moonlight, a pair of clear and cold eyes on a pale face was suffused with a frightening coldness.

Xia Ying held her breath and slowly released his hand. With such a face, looking at it, she would probably never forget it.

”Where do you want to go so late?”

He slowly moved his hand away from her lips, but his body was so close to hers that she was unable to move.

The distance between them was so close that they could see each other's pores. In the quiet of the night, she could hear her own rapid breathing and his, yet steady breathing.
