Jin Qingyan saw that Long Tianze had beaten up Ye Xiaotian enough, so he went forward to stop him.

He'd come in looking impressive but left in a wretched plight.

That was the true portrayal of who Ye Xiaotian was.

Byron arrived earlier than Jin Qingyan had expected. He was at his front gate at two o'clock sharp.

Hearing from Fan Shixin that he had arrived, those in the living room went out together to welcome him.

After the car stopped, Byron and his bodyguard got off together. He was in a black suit, looking tall and fit. The 40-year-old looked extremely young, and his vivid eyes were exceptionally charming.

He walked slowly towards Jin Qingyan and the two exchanged a brief hug. Thereafter, he looked at An Xiaoning.

An Xiaoning reached out her hand. Byron gently held her fingertips with both hands, bent down, and planted a symbolic kiss as a gesture of friendliness.

"Nice to meet you, Prince Byron."

"Nice to meet you, beautiful Madam."

After shaking hands with Long Tianze, he finally stood before Mo Li and said gently, "Well, this must be Ms. Mo Li."

Mo Li never expected that he'd look more gentlemanly than he did in the picture. His eyes were so fixed on her that they could almost swallow her whole.

"Nice to meet you, Prince Byron."

He smiled at her. "You look even prettier than you did in your picture."

"Thanks."

"Let's get in everyone, it's cold outside," Jin Qingyan said in a timely moment.

The handful of people entered the house. The heater had already been turned on, so hot air blew on their faces the moment they went in.

Auntie Chen immediately served them tea, and everyone sat down one after another.

"How old are you this year, Ms. Mo?" Byron asked.

"I'm 22 years old," she replied politely, carrying a faint smile on her face.

His brows raised as a smile curled on his face. "Then I'm not sure if it's fortunate or unfortunate. I'm 40 this year - that's 18 years older than you. Would you mind?"

"Prince Byron still looks very young to me. As long as it's not over 45 years old, I don't mind at all." How could she mind, when her body was not intact anymore? A woman who had nowhere to hide, who wanted to be loved and cherished, surrounded by warmth... she did not mind an age gap, as long as he was a good person.

"Come here." Byron patted the seat beside him and said gently, "Sit over here."

Byron turned to face her and said slowly, "I'm Byron, I'm 40 this year. I married my ex-wife at 30 and got divorced four years ago. The reason for the divorce was that she did not want to be part of the royal family anymore. Although I cannot succeed the throne, there are many customs to follow as a member of the royal family. Every word and action has to be taken with caution, but because I have my own place of residence, it's fine in my own home. We had to pay more attention to our behavior outside though, which she felt was too much of a constraint. That's why we got a divorce. But evidently, she misjudged the situation. Even after our divorce, she has continued to make the news, under the label as my ex-wife. Even then, we've never contacted each other after our divorce and we have no children."

Mo Li believed that he was being honest with her because she wasn't the only one listening to this.

Someone who could earn praises from Jin Qingyan would have to be of a certain standard.
