His instincts told him that the relationship between his precious granddaughter and this man wasn't simple at all.
His voice turned low. "Who is this man?"
Qin Feng froze for a second but quickly straightened his back. Su Jiyai didn't hesitate.
"He is my boyfriend," she said in a calm voice. "And my future partner."
Qin Feng's eyes widened slightly at her words.
Then he quickly composed himself and stood even straighter, trying to look strong and reliable in front of the king.
The king looked at him carefully, then turned his gaze back to Su Jiyai. His expression was unreadable for a long moment.
Finally, he spoke softly. "If that is the case, then… are you going to perform the ritual? When will you turn him?"
The words stunned everyone.
Su Jiyai froze. Qin Feng froze too. Xi Ping tilted her head, completely confused.
"What ritual?" Su Jiyai asked cautiously.
The king chuckled lightly, but his eyes were serious.
