Reborn: The Tyrant's Obsession novel Chapter 170

Chapter 170: Moon and stars are less for her

Ji Yan closed his eyes. Over. It was all over. The Second Master was about to spill the truth about his marriage ah!

’Ring ring’

"Second Master," Ji Yan bent down towards Adrian at rocket speed with the phone in his hand and whispered something in his ear. 𝗳𝐫𝚎𝗲𝚠𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝘃𝚎𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝗺

The family members, who were awaiting Adrian’s declaration were shell-shocked when the man no longer bothered to grace them with his presence.

Instead, he took the phone from Ji Yan’s hand and answered the call.

Visibly a little annoyed by the background noise, Adrian shot them a cold gaze.

The crowd went silent as they watched their Second Master walking away with the pets in his care.

"Secretary Ji, that..."

"What was the Second Master saying earlier?"

"What about his marriage?"

"Second Master is too busy to think about his marriage right now," Ji Yan answered with a straight face, "In the future, it is better not to bring up these matters."

"But the Old Lady..."

"The Old Lady respects the Second Master’s decisions."

Despite their thoughts and confusion regarding the matter, the members gradually dispersed.

Only when the people were gone did Ji Yan’s expressions change. He pulled out his handkerchief and dabbed it upon his sweaty forehead.

The entire King Family would erupt in chaos if they got to know that their heir was married to an ordinary girl!

On the other side.

"Hello... Hello? Why is it so noisy on your side?" Ella’s voice reverberated in the room the moment Adrian stepped inside and put her on speaker.

"Better now?" Adrian locked the door behind and glanced at his phone with a hint of displeasure.

’Woof woof’

’Meow~’

"I can hear you now... oh, Riri and Lala are there too. Baby, are you in the Main Mansion right now?"

"Mm."

Adrian sat on the bed and glanced at his phone.

’’Oh... You are back... Does that mean your work is done? Do you finally get some rest now?"

As her cheery voice reverberated in his room, it seemed like someone had wrapped him in a cocoon of comfort. Adrian’s heart tingled and his fingers curled around the phone.

"You also need to eat properly..."

Ella continued talking about this and that, and then she summarized the whole event that took place in the university.

From the beginning to the end, Adrian listened to her quietly, with his eyes closed the way a child would hear his favorite lullaby.

Until—

"Thank you."

Adrian’s eyes opened.

"When I said I want a gift from you, I did not mean it. But you still went ahead...’’

"It was far from a gift,’’ Adrian cut her off, his gaze lowering slightly.

"But if not for you, my answer sheets would have probably turned to ashes by now. I can deal with my problems on my own but thank you for lending a hand..."

As his long lashes cast faint shadows on his cheeks, a complicated, almost incomprehensible look flickered in his eyes.

For her, even the moon and stars at her feet wouldn’t suffice as a gift.

Yet, she was so easily content with things not worth mentioning.

...

Ella sneered inwardly. Or more like you are worried that by some huge stroke of luck, I would really manage to study through the night and top the exams.
