Chapter 2261: Trick Her Into Talking

Xia Heng stood beside her, stretched out his long arm, glanced at the drinks lined up, took a glass of freshly squeezed orange juice and handed it to her, "Long time no see!"

His tone was like an old friend who hadn't seen each other for a long time.

Fang Chixia was not actually very familiar with him, even when she lived in the palace earlier, she didn't see him many times.

However, since Xi Yaheng said so, Fang Chixia didn't give him a way out.

"Long time no see!" She took the juice from his hand and gave him a slight greeting.

"Are you interested in chatting?" Xi Yaheng took a cocktail for himself, picked a chair next to him and sat down.

"What does your highness want to talk about?" Fang Chixia chose a seat separated from him by a chair and sat down, sipped the drink in the glass, and waited for him to speak first without making a sound.

"Nothing, just a casual chat. Chengxi's friends are friends of the entire royal family. Miss Fang rarely comes here, and in terms of etiquette, it should be our royal family who is responsible for receiving her." Xi Yaheng's lips curled slightly, and he shook the wine glass in his hand as if nothing had happened.

"Your Highness is too polite." Fang Chixia spoke to him in a very light tone.

Xi Yaheng raised his head slightly and drank the wine in the glass in one gulp. He chatted with her as if nothing had happened, "Are you familiar with your aunt?"

"Mrs. Anqi is a very good person, easy-going and kind. I have known her for many years and have taken many photos with her. We have a good relationship."

"Really?" Xi Yaheng seemed to think her words were a little ridiculous. A hint of mockery appeared at the corner of his lips. He turned his eyes to her and his expression was restrained. "Do you know that your aunt never likes to meddle in other people's affairs? You are the first one who has not intervened in outsiders' affairs for so many years!"

Fang Chixia was slightly startled, and the hand holding the wine glass trembled slightly.

"Really? Then I am really honored."

"Do you have many similar hobbies with your wife? I can see that she likes you very much." Xi Yaheng looked at her calmly, and his blue eyes narrowed.

Fang Chixia's eyes met his from the corner of her eyes, and her eyes stagnated.

Why are you looking at her like this?

Fang Chixia felt that he was trying to trick her.

But, what was he trying to trick her about?

Fang Chixia considered her words and answered casually, "No, isn't that the way people are? It's easy to get close to each other if you can get along well. Maybe my personality is what Madam likes. Or maybe Madam just thought that I was an orphan before and had no background, so she was willing to accept me."

"You were an orphan before?" Xi Yaheng repeated her words, raising his eyebrows slightly, "Miss Fang's personality doesn't look like one."

He meant that she was too positive.

Fang Chixia didn't comment on his words, "Really?"

"Which orphanage did you grow up in? Did Madam sponsor you before?" Xi Yaheng sipped the wine in his glass and asked casually.

"I didn't know Madam when I lived in the orphanage." Fang Chixia thought about An Qi's attitude towards Prince Heyman, and was always a little cautious when talking to Xi Yaheng.

An Qi didn't seem to be close to the Heyman family. Even if she acted close to them in front of outsiders, it seemed more like acting to Fang Chixia.

"As for the orphanage before, I was too young at that time. Now I can't remember the people and things there, as well as the location of the orphanage."

"Really?" Xi Yaheng seemed a little surprised.

"Yes, Your Highness!" Fang Chixia gave him a very affirmative answer, brushed the hem of her skirt, and stood up.
