"Sorry, I didn't mean it!" Princess Silet quickly pulled back her hand. With so many people watching, even though it was an accident, it was still a bit embarrassing.
"It felt pretty good." She secretly thought to herself. On the outside, Fang Jueyu seemed tall and slender, but he was actually quite well-built.
"Princess, if you keep looking at me like that, I'll start blushing." Fang Jueyu couldn't tell what Princess Silet was thinking, but her lovestruck expression gave him a few clues. Since when had he become a heartthrob?
"Master, this scene seems familiar!" Little Yi suddenly teased, "Over seventy years ago, when your great-grandfather first came to England, Queen Yisha'er looked at him the same way."
"Wow, the charm of the Fang Family really is unbeatable!" Fang Jueyu bragged.
"Ha, it's just because your family is rich!" Little Yi retorted, "If not for me, who knows where your family would be, eating cornbread in some corner!"
"Yes, yes, all thanks to you," Fang Jueyu teased back, "But without our family, you would've lost your host. Could you have survived until now?"
"You..." Little Yi was rendered speechless by Fang Jueyu's retort. Indeed, not just anyone could be its host; the Fang Family's bloodline did have some unique qualities.
Princess Silet finally managed to regain her composure. She tidied up her slightly disheveled clothes and hair, then handed the pair of diamond earrings to her bodyguard. "Mr. Fang, thank you for your generosity. On behalf of my grandmother, Queen Yisha'er, I welcome you to England."
"It's an honor to receive the Queen's invitation!" Fang Jueyu replied politely. "But where should I stay for the time being?"
Fang Jueyu had initially planned to have Zhuang Ying book a hotel nearby for him, but it seemed Queen Yisha'er had already made arrangements.
"Oh, grandmother instructed that during your stay, Mr. Fang, you'll be staying directly at Buckingham Palace. We've prepared rooms for you and your entourage, and you're welcome to move in anytime!"
"Stay at Buckingham Palace?" Buckingham Palace was the royal residence and the venue for grand events. He hadn't expected the Queen to invite him to stay there directly.
"Host, there's something you might not know. It was your ancestor who funded the construction of Buckingham Palace!"
"What?" Fang Jueyu was surprised to learn of such a history.
"When your ancestor visited the royal family back then, they stayed at the Duke of Buckingham's residence, but they found it somewhat lacking..."
"So they built this palace just to have a better place to stay for the next visit?" Fang Jueyu realized his ancestors sure knew how to splurge! They spent so much to construct a palace for a place they wouldn't visit often!
"Yes, what of it?" Princess Silet found it odd since Fang Jueyu's father and grandfather stayed at Buckingham Palace when they visited the Queen, yet he seemed so surprised.
"Oh, nothing. Shall we go then?"
"Alright, Mr. Fang, the car is already waiting for you outside the airport!" The royal family had even sent the car usually reserved for the Queen's outings to welcome Fang Jueyu.
"Oh, Princess, I brought my own car. I converted the luggage hold of my private jet into a garage. I'm not used to riding in other cars when traveling."
"Really? Can I see your car, Mr. Fang?" In Princess Silet's eyes, Fang Jueyu's car had to be extraordinary.
The staff had moved the car from the plane's cargo hold. The gleaming black sports car under the sunlight made Princess Silet gasp in awe.
"This car is absolutely beautiful!" Not only do men adore sleek sports cars, but women also find them captivating. Its futuristic design made it hard to look away. "Can I sit in this car?"
"This girl sure is familiar!" Fang Jueyu muttered to himself. Even Guo Xinyu hadn't sat in this car's front seat before. When Zhuang Ying came, she rode with Gu Yi in another car.
"Young Master, it's rare for the Princess to show such interest, why not take her for a spin?" Zhuang Ying suggested. "Gu Yi and I can ride in the car the Queen arranged."
"Alright then!" Fang Jueyu was, after all, a guest, and didn't want to be too discourteous. It was just giving a ride in his sports car, not a big deal. Especially since he'd labeled the front seat with "Guo Xinyu's fairy seat," so at least his stance was clear.
"Open the door!" Fang Jueyu had changed the embarrassing voice command.
"It's voice-activated?" Princess Silet found it fascinating. Among her Prince brothers, many loved collecting sports cars, but she'd never seen one so cool and advanced. "This car must have been expensive to make?"
"This sports car company is my own, so it was just a cost price," Fang Jueyu said, "Though the modification costs weren't cheap. The total price is around 2 billion dollars."
"2 billion dollars?" Princess Silet was taken aback. With such a massive sum, you could produce several bombers or fighter jets. Just for a sports car, wasn't this level of extravagance over the top, even for a billionaire?
Princess Silet had seen several wealthy suitors, but many of their entire fortunes didn't reach 2 billion dollars. How wealthy must Fang Jueyu be? No wonder her grandmother, the Queen, held such a young man in high regard.
"To Buckingham Palace!" Fang Jueyu set the car to autopilot and reclined his seat, closing his eyes.
His audacious action made Princess Silet a bit uneasy. Although autonomous driving technology existed, Fang Jueyu seemed overly relaxed. Even at a speed of 80 kilometers, an accident could be very hazardous.
"Mr. Fang, could there be any issues?"
"Rest assured, my car would crush a meteorite, not the other way around!" With Little Yi's craftsmanship, Fang Jueyu had zero worries. "Princess, it'll take two hours to Buckingham Palace. I'm going to take a nap. Care to join me?"
Fang Jueyu's ambiguous words made Princess Silet blush. How could she miss the teasing tone in his voice?
"Sleep then, is this Princess supposed to be scared of you?" Princess Silet, naturally proud and competitive, found Fang Jueyu's challenge irresistible.
Growing up, Princess Silet had always been enveloped in a brilliant aura. Was there anyone who didn't drool at the sight of her? Only Fang Jueyu managed to remain so composed.
She had also noticed the sticker on the passenger seat when she got in. As a royal, she received a comprehensive education, and she knew enough of the Huaxia language to puzzle over the sticker. She was curious to know who this "Guo Xinyu" fairy might be. Such is a woman's competitive spirit.
Princess Silet reclined her seat and lay down, closing her eyes. Amazingly, she hardly felt any bumps or shakes, as if she were lying on a serene lake. Was this really a supercar moving at 80 kilometers per hour on the road?
"How is it, Princess? Comfortable to sleep in my car?" Fang Jueyu asked with his eyes closed.
"Daring to tease this Princess!" Silet's lips curled into a devilish smile. She leaned towards Fang Jueyu's ear, "It's quite comfortable, but I wonder how well it handles vibrations."
The warm breath in his ear made him break out in goosebumps and almost jump out of his seat. This wasn't fair. He was supposed to be teasing the Princess, but somehow she had escalated the game!
