Ye Yunla took out her mobile phone and skillfully dialed out Fu Beijue’s number.
“Dudududu–”
The phone kept busy, and finally a mechanical woman’s voice came through.
“Sorry, the number you have dialed is unanswered ……”
That ominous feeling in Ye Yunla’s heart amplified a little as she forced a smile and said, “I’ll try again.”
“Buzzing ……”
The phone kept vibrating on the floor in the distance.
Fu Beijiu’s eyelids twitched violently as he struggled again and again, finally holding them open with difficulty.
The back of his head hurt a little and he tried to use his hand to press his temples, only then did he realize that his hands and feet were actually tied with ropes.
He was instantly alert.
The surroundings were dark and only a faint glow emanated from the mobile phone on the floor.
On the screen was a familiar string of numbers, the eleven he had engraved on his heart.
“Who’s calling?”
A woman’s voice suddenly rang out in the darkened chamber.
Fu Beijiu looked for the sound.
After his eyes adjusted to the darkness, he could make out the outline of the woman sitting two meters away, coupled with the familiar voice ……
He tensed his jaw coldly: “Queen Mavis, what are you doing here?”
Mavis bent down and picked up the phone on the ground, the corners of her mouth curled into a smile, “This person called three times and then sent you a message, she asked you, when you were coming home.”
Fu Beijiu’s face instantly went as cold as ice.
He pushed down the anger hovering in his chest and said in a cold voice, “It seems that something like unloading, Her Majesty has not done it too often, no wonder that for so many years, the Queen has been subject to impeachment and her throne is in jeopardy ……”
“I will not kill you.” Mavis smiled faintly, “Why don’t you listen to me tell a story first.”
And no matter how appalling the cold aura from Lord Fu Bei was, Mavis just fell into the memory.
“I first met my husband at the age of twelve, he always doted on me and pampered me, and after my parents died, it was he who single-handedly escorted me to the throne of the Queen. But in the year our daughter was seven, he died trying to protect me. I loved him so much, so very much, but he left me like that, for thirteen years.”
“Every night I remembered his voice and face, I was afraid that one day I would forget him, and I didn’t want to forget him.”
“Until you appeared -”
Mavis rose to her feet and took a step towards Lord Fu Bei.
She raised her hand and removed the golden mask from the man’s face, her gaze tinged with fascination as she brushed her fingers around the scars on the man’s face.
“Back then, he was slashed by a rebel party to protect me, and the direction of that slash was exactly the same as the location of the scar on your face. Your height, your aura, the tone of your voice, it’s all too similar …… Terebei, if you will stay and do my work for me, I will love you like the husband I am ……”
Fu Beijiu’s gaze was as indifferent as water: “Do you think that’s possible?”
“I know I’m a little older, but I take good care of myself and my physical age would be around thirty-two, not much older than you.” Mavis continued, “All I need is company, just let me see you day in and day out. You can have your own life, you can take a wife, you can have children …… You live like a normal person, just stay by my side.”
Mavis’s posture lowered a little.
For the first time in so many years, she had put herself into the dust.
Thirteen years of widowhood had left her wanting someone to be with so badly.
