Quick Transmigrating Second Female Lead's Counterattack Chapter 247 - There's a Mermaid at Home (10.8)

Ch 247 There’s a Mermaid at Home (10.8)

Meanwhile John and Co., who had been quietly following them to begin with, now quickly flew into action and maintained order on the grounds below.

While working, they coincidentally ran into a group of people. John pursed his lips. Seeing the two purebred mermaids next to the eldest prince, John had a feeling that something was going to happen. Soon, he realized this wasn’t just a feeling, but a reality.

Anson Eyre was here with his two sisters to stroll the streets. He didn’t expect to b.u.mp into August here. After all, he wasn’t one to come to these time-consuming destinations. What was he doing here? His curiosity needed an answer.

He had his bodyguards clear a path and led his two sisters forward.

“Eldest prince. Princess. Miss Lika. Major general is currently preoccupied. Please step aside for a moment.” John stopped their path and politely informed them.

Anson raised an eyebrow. When has August ever been ‘preoccupied’?

“John, what do you mean by this? Quickly, make way. We are here to see Major General Ludovic.” Angela was always spoiled growing up. She had never heard the word ‘no’. She was only holding back because this was the major general’s a.s.sistant.

Lika’s beautiful face also held signs of irritation. She was the publicly recognized number one beauty. Who didn’t want to marry her? It was only Major general Ludovic that didn’t seem to be interested.

But this was what evoked her interest in him. She was confident that, besides her, there was no one else in this empire that could stand by his side.

“Princess. I am truly sorry, but I cannot let you forward.” John didn’t move an inch. He smiled firmly. If he dared to let these people bother the major general, then he will only be tasked with numerous inhumane missions from here on out. In order to keep his life sailing smoothly, be would have to suffer a second from this princess’ temper.

Anson restrained his angry sister and smiled peacefully. “It seems like August is busy. We’ll just wait here.” He was pretty close to August, even training with him in the same squadron in the past. Therefore, he was able to call the major general by his first name.

“Anson, do you know why Major General is here today?” Lika grabbed her cousin’s arm and quietly inquired. If she wasn’t interested in the major general, then she would definitely have wanted to be with her cousin.

Anson Eyre was traditionally handsome, with a warm personality. He was the perfect depiction of Prince Charming in many girls’ minds.

Anson shook his head. “I don’t know either. If you two hadn’t dragged me here, I wouldn’t have seen him today.”

Angela pouted, her anger obviously still brewing.

“The crowd over there has dispersed. It must mean August is about to get out. Stop being upset. You’ll be able to see the man soon. Don’t give him a bad impression.” Anson knew these two sisters liked August. This was something that Anson worried about. After all, there was only one August, which meant that either Lika or Angela would end up disappointed.

Anson had never thought that an alternative ending would be neither of the two being with August. In his mind, his two sisters were both very outstanding and beautiful. After all, both knew that the other liked August but they never fought over this.

The naive Anson didn’t know that this was all just surface level peace. Angela and Lika fought ferociously behind the scenes, especially at school. They fought over the brand name designers they wore, how much allowance money they receive, and how many admirers they had. The only thing they agreed on is to keep their fighting behind closed doors, to not embarra.s.s the royal family. This was a true sign that both received a formal education. No matter how crazy you are behind closed doors, you had to act grand and n.o.ble so the rest of the world couldn’t even guess the truth.

By the time the three of them approached, XunMi had already pulled up their information. So when she read Angela and Lika’s information, XunMi couldn’t help but admire them for their strange relations.h.i.+p.

“Major general. We’ve cleared the region for you two. You can step out now.” John bowed at the entrance of the floating car.

Anson was confused. John had said ‘you two’. Was August here with someone? His confusion was quickly cleared.

A girl in a blue dress was carried out in August’s arms. August was wearing a black leisure outfit. The outfit only highlighted his physique and tan skin. Yet there was a dangerous energy around him, as if he was a beast ready to pounce at any moment. His own energy was capable of drowning out anyone standing by him.

And yet, there is a type of person, that cannot be ignored even if those around them are dazzling.

To Anson, it looked like they just witness a perfect couple stepping out of a painting. The woman had dark and slanted eyebrows, with skin as white as snow. Her nose was small like a jade piece. Her blue eyes blinked away sleep. Even though there was a veil covering her face, it did nothing to hide her fluttering beauty.

Gasps sounded in the crowd. If the number one beauty Lika was a garis.h.i.+ng rose, then this girl was a freesia, pure with a hint of seduction. With every smile and gaze, she was reaching straight into the soul.

August carefully protected XunMi as they walked down the car. He had originally wanted to carry XunMi into the store to buy shoes. But XunMi stubbornly refused at all costs and even glared at him.

August had no choice but to indulge her.
