The attendant heard this and was somewhat overwhelmed with fear.

His eyes nearly popped out as he cleared his throat and said, "Mrs. Gong... Mr. Gong said, if you don’t acknowledge this marriage... he will immediately return to Shoucheng..."

This matter isn’t really a secret, actually it had caused an uproar in the city back then, everyone knew about it, so even the average attendant was not in the dark.

The Demon King returning to Shoucheng???

Xia Xi’s mouth twitched twice, she had a sudden inspiration, changing her tone, she said, "The thing is, I’m afraid he won’t marry me! As long as he marries me, I’ll accept! Because I love him very much, I’m willing to be his bride, there’s no denying it, truly no!"

The last sentence was almost emphasized to the attendant, forcefully underlining the key point.

Attendant: "..."

Ding Suzhu: "..."

Gu Tong: "..."

You’re clearly in crisis management mode, and suddenly switching to another explanation, it’s not convincing, if anyone believes you, they’d be possessed. 𝙛𝒓𝒆𝙚𝒘𝒆𝓫𝙣𝓸𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝒄𝒐𝓶

They silently scoffed internally.

The attendant, after regaining his composure, coughed and said, "Mrs. Gong, please come in."

Please do not make things difficult for the attendant...

He is just the staff at the door, do not give him such a difficult judgement call.

It’s known that Mr. Gong guards strictly, and claims that if Miss Xia Xi has any problems, it must be reported immediately.

The attendant believes he lacks comprehension, cannot weigh familial ethical issues well, so he pretends he heard nothing...

Let’s just pretend Miss Xia Xi never came, and be each other’s angels, salutes.

Xia Xi was unaware of the attendant’s thoughts, still worried he would tattletale to the Demon King, so she left no room for error, exclaiming, "I love Mr. Gong!!!"

Important things must be emphasized again!!

Attendant: "..." Don’t make life hard for the attendant... even being a doorman isn’t easy...

After ensuring she had emphasized enough, and the attendant had ’received’ the message, Xia Xi refrained from saying more, sprinting away, trying to escape this terrifying place.

The Demon King is becoming increasingly outrageous now, strictly guarding all around, leaving no room to breathe.

Of course, she didn’t forget to call Gu Tong and Ding Suzhu along, adopting an emergency escape demeanor.

Gu Tong saw Xia Xi’s state and couldn’t help but feel sympathy for Gong Chenli.

Having such a woman, it’s definitely worrisome, disappearing every three days is common, he has to guard 360 degrees without any blind spots, fearing any issue might arise.

Thinking about it this way, Gong Chenli isn’t having it easy either.

Gu Tong silently mourned for Gong Chenli for three seconds, only three seconds.

Following Xia Xi into the hall of Wancheng, Xia Xi led them straight to the elevator, sprinting along, as if chased by wild beasts.

Xia Xi leaned against the elevator wall, panting and said, "Scared the hell out of me, Demon King actually playing this trick, it’s simply inevitable..."

Gu Tong rolled her eyes, saying, "Who was it earlier, acting all high and mighty, how come now at the door, suddenly became timid."

Indeed, don’t put on airs, doing so invites disaster.

This saying is always particularly true.

Xia Xi glared and said, "Damn! If it were you, you’d be scared too! Your Devil King keeps pushing to get married! Aren’t you afraid? Single life soon becoming a fleeting memory, and you’re not the least bit terrified!! Easy for you to talk!!!"
