nAt this time, Louis found the umbrella, and came back with a plate of cut fruit, and recognized Morrison’s back.

nHe stepped forward quickly, blocking Morrison’s view, propping up an umbrella over a chair to cover Xi Ning, and handed the fruit to Xi Ning, before turning around to greet Morrison with a simple salute, “Your Second Highness.”

nMorrison nodded. As soon as Louis came, he wanted to leave. He tilted his head and said to Xi Ning, “Your Highness, have a good rest. I won’t disturb you for now.”

nXi Ning quietly picked up an apple and was about to eat it. Hearing that, he put down the apple and replied, “Okay, take care.”

nMorrison was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, “You are finally willing to speak.”

nIf Xi Ning stayed silent again, Morrison would think that he was silent because he had changed back to a mermaid and had a different vocal cords, but it didn’t seem to be the issue.

nXi Ning looked embarrassed and simply dived into the bottom of the water.

nAfter Morrison left, Xi Ning came out of the water and asked Louis to feed him fruit.

nLouis lowered his eyes and said, “Babe, are you worried that I will get jealous again, so that’s why you didn’t talk to him?”

nXi Ning bit the fruit and said vaguely, “Sort of.”

nLouie recalled that when he first met Xi Ning, Langdon said he was like a mute.

nHe had also seen Xi Ning many times in the surveillance. It seemed that Xi Ning had never communicated with other people. He didn’t even tell the servant who sent him food when the water in his aquarium got dirty and he wanted to change it. Only after he went there did he discover what happened.

nIncluding the matter where the drunken pirate who broke into Xi Ning’s room, Louis later viewed back the surveillance records in order to find clues. Xi Ning didn’t make a sound the whole time. If he shouted for help at that time, maybe someone around could hear him.

nLouis didn’t pay much attention to it before, but now that he thought deeply about it, Xi Ning was very quiet except when he was around, but he was quite lively when he was by his side.

nLouis didn’t think much. He just thought that maybe it was the proof that the two of them were born to be a match?

nHe snatched the strawberry that Xi Ning had bitten in half and put it in his mouth. Xi Ning was dissatisfied looking at his empty hands. “What are you doing?”

n“What’s wrong with letting your husband take a bite?” Louis whispered, reached out and touched Xi Ning’s chin, and lowered his head to kiss him. Xi Ning took advantage of his carelessness to hook his neck and pull him down the water.

nAfter a “splash”, Louis emerged from the water and wiped his face, imitating Xi Ning’s tone just now. “What are you doing?”

nXi Ning looked around and hung his tail on Louis. “I want you to hug me.”

nLouis couldn’t refuse him at all. He sat down on the steps in the shallow water, and Xi Ning lay comfortably on top of him to bask in the sun.

nAt first, he was worried that someone would see them, but no one came to disturb them all at noon. Louis got relaxed, the sun made him a little sleepy, and many fragmentary images flashed in his mind in a trance, which made his temple ache.

nLouis woke up instantly and moved a bit in the water. Xi Ning was about to fall asleep and raised his head in a daze. “What’s wrong?”

nThese pictures are very unfamiliar, and Louis was sure that he had never experienced them before, but when they appeared, they felt extremely familiar.

nLouis looked at Xi Ning, and after a while, he touched the end of his hair and said, “It’s nothing.”

nAfter Fei Shi sent a message to the clan asking for support last time, they acted quickly and arranged for a Nighthawk clansmember who was said to be very good at assassination to contact Fei Shi and disguise themself as a new servant.

nThe palace of the Federation was not easy to get into. It took a little effort for Fei Shi to arrange for the person to come in. The two of them had to kill Xi Ning or Morrison before the wedding.

nThe Nighthawk had planned to kill Morrison directly; by then the wedding would not only be canceled and since the president’s son died, the Federation would be in a mess as well, but Fei Shi said, “It is not easy to get close to the Second Highness. How about we go and try to kill that sea clansman first.”

nFei Shi’s status in the clan was much higher than that of Nighthawk, so Nighthawk couldn’t refute it and replied, “Okay.”

nFei Shi had already taken the position of Minister of Parliament. He also lived in the palace of the Federation, but it was very remote and far away from Xi Ning’s new residence. It took Nighthawk several days to trace the guards’ situation in Xi Ning’s palace.

nHe observed on the roof for a few nights, and found that at night, the servants and guards in the palace would not approach Xi Ning’s bedroom, as if they were afraid of disturbing him.

nAnd Xi Ning had only one servant serving him personally. Nighthawk had never seen such a loose guard, and was very confident in this mission.

nHe found the opportunity, put on a black suit and sneaked into Xi Ning’s palace again.

nThere was no one in the silent corridor. Nighthawk silently jumped down from the roof and slowly approached the dormitory.

nA faint breeze brushed against his cheek, and Nighthawk stopped vigilantly to look around, and he moved on when he did not find any abnormality.

nWhen he got closer to the bedroom, Nighthawk could vaguely hear some sound in the room, like someone was humming and sleeptalking in his sleep, or he hadn’t slept yet.

nNighthawk stopped and thought about whether to go back first and wait for the next opportunity, or wait for a while until the room was silent before entering.
