Chapter 668: Don’t, Kiss Me
Pei Chun was still wandering around the Prince’s Mansion of the Guan Family.
Meanwhile, Xie Xubai kept walking forward with Huo Sijiao.
The Guan Family estate was vast. Just navigating from the main hall, through the winding corridors, to the study required countless twists and turns. The ancestral Prince’s Mansion, handed down through generations, was undeniably grand.
"The study is over that way."
Xie Xubai walked alongside her and reminded her.
Huo Sijiao gazed at the scenery outside the intricately carved windows, her brows slightly lifted as she asked, "Do you come here often?"
"When I was young, I came frequently. After growing up, not so much. The relationship between the Xie Family and the Guan Family has always been lukewarm..."
"You’re technically their little uncle, right? Quite the seniority. Honestly, despite the distance in relationships and lack of blood ties, have you ever thought about marrying Guan Jingtan to secure control over the Guan Family’s assets? It’d enable you to achieve your goals faster—like elevating the Xie Family to replace one of the Four Great Families."
Huo Sijiao was well aware that Xie Xubai’s ambition was to make the Xie Family part of the Four Great Families in the Imperial Capital.
Xie Xubai’s faint smile lingered on his face, his subtle sandalwood scent hovering around him: "Never thought about it. A gentleman doesn’t stand under a precarious wall."
