The Vampire Empress: Blood Queen & Her Kings

Jiang Ying Yue opened her mouth to reply to Gu Chen but got stopped when General Gu suddenly started laughing out loudly. It seemed like she wasn't the only one who was confused by the General's reaction, the others seemed just as surprised and clueless as her. 

"Lady Yue, why don't you stay for the dinner. This old man will be happy to hear about your views on the future plans of our businesses. Besides, as our business partner, you are just like another member of our family. Please don't stand on formality." General Gu seemed totally chilled as he leaned to whisper something in his wife's ears.

"I..." 

Jiang Ying Yue was totally at loss. She no longer had any idea about what was going on. While she was expecting to be thrown out of the manor, she actually got the invitation from the General to join them for the dinner.

"Is father alright?" Gu Chen whispered in her ear as he gazed at his father who was still talking to his mother.

Before Jiang Ying Yue could have gotten a chance to speak, they got interrupted by the Young Marquis who came to stand between her and his brother, making the two of them step away from each other. "Don't you think you are standing too close to each other?" He commented while looking at both of them with questioning eyes.

Jiang Ying Yue didn't reply and just ignored the Young Marquis. However, her eyes caught the blush that took over Gu Chen's cheeks as he looked away. 

"I want to take a look at the kitchen. I want to see what the chefs are cooking." She told the boys before she walked away and headed towards the direction where a group of servants was heading with empty plates in their hands.

"She's a nice girl. Honest and straightforward but at the same time, she also seems kind and humble. You chose the right person, brother." The Young Marquis said as he turned to look at his brother.

A beautiful and shy smile immediately bloomed on Gu Chen's lips as he seemed proud after hearing his brother complimenting Jiang Ying Yue.

"Your brother is right. This young lady is really one of a kind. She will prove to be a great partner to our business and family. Besides, no matter how selfish her reasons sound, there's no denying that she has helped our family during a period where no one wanted to do anything with us." General Gu added as he too came to stand next to both his sons.

"She's really a good child. No matter how cold she sounds, she's really soft deep down in her heart. She just pretends to be cold and indifferent most of the time. But in reality, she's really a nice child." Madam added as she came to join the rest of her family members.

"It looks like we all like her as a person and have nothing against her being our business partner." The Young Marquis commented as he looked around at his parents and brother and received affirmative responses from all of them.

While these people were busy showing their appreciation towards Jiang Ying Yue's presence in their lives, the Princes and Silver who had been observing the entire scenario through a spiritual mirror didnt seem happy at all.

"Why I don't seem to like the fact that they all seem pretty accepting towards Yue?" Silver asked the question out loud to no one in particular.

"I have no problem with the General and Furen, but I don't want these two boys anywhere near Yue'er." Qing Shan murmured as he stared at Gu Chen and his brother through the spirit mirror. His possessive mate side was once again coming out but this time he had a proper reason to feel in such way. He didn't seem to like the way those two brothers were looking with admiration at his mate.

"Is it really that serious? I don't think we should worry since Yue'er doesn't seem to be close with either of those two. The only reason she's close with Gu Chen is because of their business." Wu Xie added but even though he sounded calm unlike his elder brother and Silver, his eyes were also shooting daggers at the two young masters of the Gu family.

"I'm going to bring her back." Wang Shu suddenly stated as he stood up and without waiting for any response from the others, he disappeared from the place.

Jiang Ying Yue stared at the Princes and Silver who were staring back at her with guilt-filled eyes. She could hardly believe the drama that had just taken place a few moments ago.

"Do you really think that what you just did was necessary? You guys should learn to control yourself and your possessive selves." She pointed her attention at Qing Shan who immediately took a few steps back and moved to stand behind Silver.
