216 Chapter 216 acknowledged her as Goddaughter 4

"I'm sorry, Xiaoqin! Something happened to me on the way back, so I went back to the Seaview Building. I tried calling you but no one picked up after a few times, so I couldn't get in touch with you."

Lan Keqin said apologetically. It was already noon, so Gu Xiaoqin must have been waiting for her at home without even eating.

"I told you that my bag was stolen! Why are you still calling me?" Gu Xiaoqin said, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.

"Eh? How could I forget that your bag was stolen?" Lan Keqin was speechless at herself. Then she said, "You haven't eaten yet, right? I'll get Xiao Liu to pick you up first."

"Okay! Then I'll wait for you at home."

"Okay."

After Lan Keqin hung up the phone, she called Xiao Liu and asked him to pick up Gu Xiaoqin as soon as possible. Finally, after hanging up the phone, she picked up the eggs to cook again.

After Yi Xuan gave the phone to Lan Keqin, he walked out of the kitchen. Just as he walked out, Cass Jerne and Jack also walked out of the room.

"King Jerne! Jack! The two of you, please take a seat."

Yi Xuan acted as if he was the host. Bai Lan was sleeping on the sofa and Lan Keqin was in the kitchen, so he was the only one who came to entertain people.

The sofa in the living room was very big. Cass Jerne and Jack found a seat and sat down.

"Yi Xuan! Where's Little Keqin? Where did she go?"

Jack came out but he didn't see Lan Keqin, so he asked Yi Xuan.

"She went to the kitchen to boil eggs," Yi Xuan said.

"Thank you! Thank you so much today. If it weren't for you, Yurou and I would have died."

Cass Jerne suddenly stood up, put his right hand on his left chest, and then bowed deeply to Jack and Yi Xuan, sincerely saying thank you.

"King Jerne! What are you doing? We are juniors."

Yi Xuan saw Cass Jerne do such a big courtesy. Even if he was usually arrogant and spoiled, he couldn't bear it when facing a King that everyone loved.

"What happened?"

Bai Lan had just fallen asleep when Yi Xuan suddenly stood up and spoke, waking him up.

"It's nothing, you continue to sleep," Yi Xuan said.

"F*ck, I was woken up by you. What's the point of sleeping?"

Bai Lan rolled his eyes at him in annoyance and propped himself up from the sofa in a somewhat drowsy manner.

"The matter of Yurou's injury today, I want to repay everyone for helping Cass Jerne keep it a secret..."

Cass Jerne saw that Bai Lan had also woken up, so he simply said what he was worried about.

"King Jerne! Don't worry! We will definitely keep this matter a secret. However, do you have any idea? Can you guess who is doing this to you and the Queen?"

Yi Xuan frowned and looked at Cass Jerne with a serious expression. Assassinating the King of a country was not a small matter.

"Yes! There are two of them. One is my cousin, Cass Luyuan, and the other is my younger brother, Cass Jenne."

When Cass Jerne mentioned these two people, he felt very sad in his heart. After all, one was his cousin and the other was his younger brother. Both of them were his family but now they both wanted to kill him just to take away the throne.

When Cass Jerne said this, everyone was stunned—especially Yi Xuan. He had only asked casually but he did not expect Cass Jerne to be so frank. And he even told them their names.

Yi Xuan and Bai Lan did not continue asking. After all, this was an international issue and it was also an internal conflict within the Imperial Palace of the Cass Empire. They did not need to know so much.

Jack was not interested in these things. In his world, it was all about eating, drinking, having fun, as well as his favorite medicine.

"King Jerne! If you need our help in the future, you can also call us. My phone number is on this."

After a while, Yi Xuan took out his business card from his pocket and handed it to Cass Jerne.

He was not only the successor of the Yi Group, but also one of the leaders of Ye Sha. If there was really an internal conflict in the Cass Empire, then guns and such things would definitely be necessary.

"Thank you!"

Cass Jerne took the business card from Yi Xuan's hand. As he thanked him, he put the business card into his pocket.

"You're welcome," Yi Xuan said.

"Bai Lan! Your eggs are ready."

Not long after, Lan Keqin took out the boiled eggs and walked out. Seeing Cass Jerne and Jack while walking back into the hall, Lan Keqin said with embarrassment, "Sorry! I only cooked two eggs."

"It's okay."

Cass Jerne and Jack said with a smile at the same time.

The more Cass Jerne looked at Lan Keqin, the more she felt like Nangong Yurou. The more he looked at her, the more he felt that this girl was lovable. He had an inexplicable feeling of wanting to get close to her.

"How old is Keqin this year?"

Cass Jerne asked subconsciously.

"I will be 18 in four days."

Lan Keqin thought for a moment and replied with a smile. If Cass Jerne didn't ask her, she would have forgotten that her birthday was in a few days.

"Wow! Little Keqin will be 18 in four days. No, I have to think about this coming of age ceremony."

"Yes! When the time comes, I will definitely hold a birthday party for Little Keqin."

Bai Lan took the boiled eggs from Lan Keqin's hand and said with a smile. The dizziness from before was much better. It was as if everyone was chatting together and suddenly felt full of energy.

"Keqin is not an ***** yet? Then isn't Young Master Di dating a minor? His taste is really strong."

After Jack heard this, he suddenly said in surprise. Previously, because he performed surgery on Nangong Yurou, he did not look at Lan Keqin properly. When he looked at her, he realized that she was really very young. She looked like a sixteen-year-old delicate little girl.

"How is that possible? In the Cass Empire, they're considered to be an ***** when they are 16 years old?"

Lan Keqin's little face turned red after Jack said that. In Country A, a girl who was not 18 years old was not considered to be an *****. However, she did not want people to think that Di Junlin was the one who abducted a girl.

"But you are not from the Cass Empire. You are from Country A."

Jack said with a laugh. Looking at Lan Keqin's red face, he felt that she was very cute.

"So, Keqin is also 18 years old... the same age as my eldest daughter. It's a pity that she did not see this world and left."

Just when Lan Keqin was choked and did not know how to speak, Cass Jerne muttered in grief.

"Your eldest daughter, she...?"

Lan Keqin looked at Cass Jerne nervously. That complicated feeling rose again.

Di Junlin was currently engaged to his "eldest daughter," and she... was now an intruder?

But his eldest daughter was no longer around. So was she or was she not? Whether she was or not, she was currently in an awkward situation.
