The mysterious message left behindby the unknown servant stunned Zavian to his core.
A strom of questions surged through his mind refusing to settle.
he had no idea what from the approaching danger would take this was Zavian—he had the ability to sense danger,
and perhaps he had already prepared himself for the storm that was coming.
He carefully read the glowing white words floating in the air, but the very next moment, they vanished as if a strong gust of wind had wiped them away—like they were never there at all.
Zavian took a deep breath, closed his eyes to calm himself, and then walked out of the hallway into the hall.
Time passed quickly, and the day faded away, giving way to a calm and pleasant night.
A peaceful atmosphere settled over the mansion, while the servants busied themselves preparing dinner.
Just then, a car pulled up outside the mansion. Fangxi stepped out and noticed Zavian walking in the garden, looking calm yet serious.
A soft orange light reflected on his neck, giving off a strangely soothing aura.
Noticing something unusual, Fangxi quietly approached him and called out in a low voice,
"Zayan!"
Hearing his name, Zavian turned around. Fangxi asked directly,
"What are you doing here?"
With his usual cold tone, softened just a little, Zavian replied,
"Nothing... just enjoying the calm air."
A faint smile appeared on Fangxi's lips as he said calmly,
"Alright... now come, let's have dinner."
Hearing Fangxi's words, Zavian replied in a cold tone,
"No, you enjoy your.. dinner."
It was clear that he wanted to be alone at that moment, but Fangxi wasn't going to let him off so easily.
With a slight smile, Fangxi held Zavian's hand and said jokingly,
"Come on, man! Just take.. this as a 'treat' from our... friendship… now let's go!"
Without giving him a chance to argue, Fangxi grabbed him and started pulling him inside.
Zavian, who usually never listened to anyone, couldn't say anything against Fangxi's friendly insistence and quietly went along with him.
As soon as they entered the hall, Fangxi said with a calm smile,
"You go sit near the dining table."
A charming captivating smile curved Fangxi's lips as he spoke.
"I'll be back...After freshening up!"
he turned and calmly walked toward his room Zavian, meanwhile,
sat straight on a chair near the dining table like a king and began waiting.
In that moment of silence, Zavian's eyes fell on the beautiful ring on his finger.
He was casually looking at it when suddenly something blue flashed inside the glass of the ring.
Startled, Zavian looked closely, only to realize that the glow wasn't coming from the ring.
In fact, the chain around his neck—with a small watch hanging from it—was glowing with a bright blue light.
Seeing this, a mysterious smile spread across Zavian's face. He touched the chain with his hand and murmured softly:
"Hmm... looks like the prey is near!" After a full 6 years..., someone will finally...become the prey today.
Just as he was lost in his thoughts, he glanced beside him. Two servants were approaching with dinner.
They were the same girls who had been secretly staring at Zavian earlier in the day.
Smiling shyly, they placed the food on the table—after all, the person sitting before them wasn't just anyone,
but Zavian himself, whose presence carried a unique authority.
Zavian picked up a strawberry from the plate and popped it into his mouth in one go.
One side of his cheek puffed up slightly, creating a strangely attractive charm on his otherwise stern face.
He casully took out his phone and began using it while eating a strawberry even in such a simple moment he.
Looked both incredibly cute and undeniable handsome.
The two servants present there were blushing as they watched him.
Slowly, they began arranging and cleaning the table, just to spend a little more time near him. After a while, Zavian finally noticed this.
He slowly lifted his sharp, intense gaze and stared straight at them. The moment Zavian looked at them like that, the
servants froze. Nervous and flustered, they quickly lowered their eyes, finished arranging the plates in a hurry,
and left the area. Just one look from Zavian was enough for them.
Just then, Fangxi stepped out of his room, buttoning up his white shirt.
Fangxi stopped outside Sheyaan's room, knocked on the door, and said loudly,
"Knock knock!
"Sheyaan! Come downstairs for.. dinner!"
Sheyaan, who was sitting near the window, busy with her studies at the table, was bathed in the cool breeze and soft
blue moonlight touching her face, making her look even more beautiful.
Hearing Fangxi's voice, she smiled and looked toward the door. In her cute voice, she replied:
"I'm coming! Just two more minutes… I'll finish my study and.. come down."
From outside, Fangxi responded,
"Alright, come quickly I'm..waiting!"
With that, he turned and walked back toward the hall.
Sheyaan quickly finished her work, let out a deep breath, and closed her pen cap. Excitedly, she said,
"Done! Finished my..work!"
Then, making a cute face, she added,
"I'm so hungry!"
Saying this, she swiftly placed her books on the side table, turned off the lamp, and slipped into her slippers.
She ran out of the room and hurried forward, smiling brightly as she said,
"Now I'll ask...Fangxi to bring me.. some cake!"
Full of excitement, Sheyaan rushed down the stairs.
But the moment her eyes fell on the dining table, her steps froze.
Two people were sitting there. Usually, Zavian would leave as soon as Fangxi arrived, but today, he was still there.
Sheyaan looked at Zavian from behind and quietly murmured to herself,
"Is that Zayan…? If it's him, how will I..face him?"
She immediately remembered the afternoon incident… how she had been standing in front of him wearing only a towel.
The thought made her cheeks turn red with embarrassment. Slowly and quietly,
she started walking toward the dining table, hoping no one would notice her.
But Fangxi spotted her anyway. Seeing her move so slowly, he called out loudly,
"Sheyaan! Why are you..walking so slowly? Come quickly, the dinner is.. getting cold!"
Hearing Fangxi's voice, Sheyaan froze in her place. At that moment, Zavian turned around. Sheyaan, who was already
walking nervously, was shocked the moment she saw him. Her heart started pounding, and she immediately looked away.
Without looking at Zavian, she quickly moved forward and sat down on the chair next to Fangxi.
As soon as she sat down, Sheyaan lowered her gaze; she didn't have the courage to even look at Zavian.
But Zavian… his eyes seemed completely fixed on her. With a flat expression, he kept staring at her,
as if reading every bit of nervousness written on her face.
An unusual silence filled the large dining hall of the mansion, broken only by the sound of their breathing.
Fangxi, unaware of all this tension, began serving food onto everyone's plates.
With a calm yet slightly excited tone, Fangxi said:
"Alright, let's start dinner now!"
Hearing Fangxi's words, a faint smile appeared on Zavian's lips. Fangxi poured a little normal wine into everyone's glasses and said enthusiastically,
"Come on, let's have a.. cheers!"
Everyone agreed; Sheyaan and Zavian lifted their glasses and said "Cheers" together.
They all took a sip of wine and began eating. Dinner was going peacefully when Fangxi suddenly noticed the tension on
Sheyaan's face. Looking at her, he spoke up,
"Sheyaan! What are you..worried about?"
Hearing this, Sheyaan was startled. She looked at Fangxi and then glanced at Zavian sitting in front of her. Slightly stammering, she replied,
"Hmm... no, why would I.. be worried!"
Fangxi kept observing her while eating and asked again,
"Then why do you... look so tense?"
Zavian was listening carefully to their conversation, but his gaze remained fixed entirely on Sheyaan.
Chewing her food quickly, Sheyaan said,
"No, I'm not worried...about anything!"
After saying that, she once again glanced at Zavian, who was still continuously staring at her. Fangxi simply replied, "Okay!"
After a while, everyone finished their meal. Sheyaan quickly stood up from her chair and said in a hurry,
"I'm done... I'm going to my...room!"
Without wasting any time, Sheyaan left from there, as if Zavian's gaze felt too heavy on her.
It seemed like she was trying to avoid him. Fangxi just watched her leave and said in surprise,
"Hey! What happened to.. her?"
Zavian knew very well why Sheyaan had run off silently. In his usual cold tone, he said,
"Let her go! You tell me, what do you...want to say?"
Fangxi looked at Zavian, his smile fading as he grew serious. He simply said,
"Okay! Why don't we go to the...terrace and talk?"
With that, both of them got up from their chairs and silently made their way to the terrace.
The cool night air carried a strange seriousness. The city lights shimmered all around,
and cars moved along the roads below, making the terrace atmosphere even more calm and peaceful.
Zavian slipped both his hands into his pockets and asked again, "Tell me, what is..it?"
Hearing this, Fangxi looked straight into Zavian's eyes and said in a deeply serious tone:
"Zayan... I know who you are!"
The moment those words reached his ears Zavian was completely stunned.
He froze where he stood his expression turning rigid a strom of questions erupted in his mind had his secret finally been exposed?
