Qi Yan hadn’t eaten or drunk for three days, nor had he spoken.
The body of a mermaid did not need food as frequently as human did, so even if he persisted for another week, he wouldn’t have a problem.
But Kerry didn’t think so.
Qi Yan’s hunger strike and refusal to talk made him panic. He was like a child at a loss. He had no clue what to do with Qi Yan.
“A-Yan, let’s eat something…” Kerry persuaded softly.
Qi Yan ignored it as if he hadn’t heard anything.
“A-Yan…” Kerry’s expression looked like he was about to cry. Putting down the fresh fruit in his hand, Kerry sat on the ground without the slightest image of an Earl, leaning against the crystal coffin behind him.
“You can blame me, I’m not angry…but please don’t hurt yourself.” Kerry’s voice was full of pleading: “This is my way of expressing my love to you, why don’t you understand?”
The long silence plunged the atmosphere between the two into an awkward state.
Kerry stood up, put the fruit in the crystal tube and smiled bitterly: “Eat some, or I will be heartbroken.”
After speaking, the unusually despondent back slowly walked out of the room.
Since being locked up here, Qi Yan had never seen anyone else come to this room, the only person he saw was Kerry.
——Probably no one knew that he was locked up here.
The favorability was not full yet and Kerry’s state of mind changed drastically, which prompted Qi Yan to be locked up here. Who would have thought that Kerry would make such a move in just one night?
The fishtail swayed slowly in this huge crystal coffin. It was different from the sea, the taste was extremely bland, lacking the smell of the fresh tide in the depths of the sea.
He had to find a way out and reduce the blackness, otherwise this mission was likely to fail.-
Kerry came out of the secret room and sat in a chair with a dark look, facing stacks of letters and documents. He had no desire to check on them, even if he was the Earl, and these things were what he should do.
Just ten minutes after sitting down, the door of the study was knocked on. Kerry looked up and saw Nasha in a big pink dress walking in, her expression deserted and serious, completely different from her usual pleasing appearance.
“Kerry, I think we need to talk.”
Kerry pinched the center of his eyebrows with one hand, the fingers of the other hand knocked lightly on the table. He raised his eyebrows lightly: “Talk about what?”
“About that cooperation.” Nasha chuckled lightly: “Terminate it.”
Kerry was taken aback when he heard the words and then he smiled for the first time: “It’s great that you are so sensible.”
“Kerry, do you think I will let you off so easily?” Nasha sneered, clearly coming to declare war: “I won’t let you get away with it, having offended the Temple of Light, just losing your reputation is already considered light punishment.”
“I’ll wait and see.” Kerry waved his hand dismissing her.
Nasha’s face turned pale, she thought that when it came to interests, Kerry would still have some reservation.
Kerry had just taken the top position and Nasha knew all the shady things he had done. Whether it was illegal goods coming in from the port, killing the old earl, or banishing his brothers. If these things were made public, Kerry would really be finished.
But at this moment he was obviously not bothered by these things, nor was he worried that she would reveal these things.
“Kerry, don’t think I wouldn’t dare.”
“It’s your business what you want to do, it doesn’t matter.”
Nasha frowned and asked in a puzzled manner: “What makes you so decisive? That man?”
“It has nothing to do with you.” When it comes to Qi Yan, Kerry’s voice was a little cold: “You can do whatever you want, don’t try to get any information about A-Yan from me.””
After being coldly rejected by the man she looked up to, Nasha’s usually gloomy face finally became a little resentful.
“Then please be prepared, Earl Kerry!”
With an emphasis on the two words “Earl Kerry”, Nasha left the study without looking back.
The dissolution of the marriage contract between Earl Hilar and the Saint of Light caused an uproar in Erli City. They all thought they had been deceived by Earl Hilar and the poor saint was just a stepping stone to his ascension.
For a while, insults and cold ridicule hit like a big wave, sweeping the entire city of Erli.
In this situation, the saint Nasha stood up and pitifully announced to the world how Kerry had deceived her, but after she discovered some improper behavior Kerry had done, she decisively left him!
These remarks had a great impact on the hearts of the city people, at least now everyone thinks that Kerry was a scumbag who deceived her feelings.
And the protagonist of the whole thing, Kerry Hilar did not even respond to this matter publicly, but chose to ignore it.
Time could calm everything down, just like public opinion, which would slowly dissipate over time.
Nasha gritted her teeth. It’s as if all her actions were just a joke.
Like punching on cotton, Nasha knew that no matter what she did next, she would not get Kerry’s response.
At this time, Kerry seemed to care more about his relationship affairs than the public opinion of the outside world.
“A-Yan, this kind of fruit is delicious. I sent someone to buy it on the territory of the elves.”
Kerry put a tender yellow fruit into the food slots, Qi Yan glanced at it lightly and ignored it.
“A-Yan, even if you are angry, you have to have a good meal.” Kerry’s heart was very calm now.
Qi Yan, who knew from the system that the outside world had bombarded Kerry with public opinion, didn’t understand why Kerry was so calm. The earldom was what he had always wanted, something he had taken great pains to seize.
“Speaking of which, A-Yan.” Kerry suddenly smiled winsomely: “Nasha and I are separated. Now I belong only to you.”
Qi Yan was taken aback for a moment followed by an understanding.
——It must be Nasha who used the power of the outside world to retaliate against Kerry.
Now that it happened, Qi Yan couldn’t be silent anymore.
The crystal blue eyes that glow with crystalline luster slowly opened, looking directly at Kerry and gradually showing delighted eyes.
“Kerry.” The mermaid’s voice was seductive: “I said from the beginning, you have to be happy.”
“Happy! I’m happy when A Yan talks to me!”
“For the sake of power, you did all this.And now, for the sake of personal affairs, are you going to lose all this again?”
——A huge castle, the title of earl, endless money, and endless power.
With a single slip of tongue, overnight, all of these would turn into foams rising from the sea in the early morning.
Kerry was indifferent, smiling with narrowed eyes: “As long as it’s for A-Yan, what would it matter even if I lose these.”
“Do you really love me?”
“Of course.”
“Isn’t it because of dependence, so you want to watch me?”
“……”
“Kerry, what about your own heart?”
“A-Yan, don’t you…”
“Kerry, if you really love me, I won’t be trapped in this crystal coffin.”
Qi Yan stated a fact in that flippant tone.
——Your dependence has blinded all your sincerity.
