My Scheming Little Devil-Chapter 1787: He Already Has a Woman

Moreover, she is now more confident; she feels the man before her also appreciates her.

"Like father, like daughter—the Duke is truly fortunate to have such a promising daughter as you; he must be very proud." Ji Lingkong thought for a moment about something, then smiled at her, "I will prepare a gift to congratulate you on your admission to Imperial College."

Hasn’t that girl always been eager to apply to Imperial College?

This young lady of the Duke, as her predecessor, has successfully gained admission. She can indeed offer some experience and advice, which would be quite helpful to her.

"Thank you, Young Master Ling Kong, you’re too kind." Fengzi’s eyes brightened, and she was inexplicably delighted, never expecting he’d take the initiative to gift her something to celebrate her achievement.

It seems she really stands a good chance.

"It’s getting late; I need to prepare for departure. I’ll send someone to take you back." Ji Lingkong glanced at the clock.

Fengzi smiled lightly: "No need to send me; I drove myself here. You go ahead and prepare. Moreover, I’m planning on visiting Madam Aisha shortly. I took a stroll in the garden at your villa earlier and found the roses blooming beautifully. I want to pick some to give to Madam Aisha. She would be delighted to know they came from your garden."

"Then go ahead and pick some; my mother indeed loves roses."

Ji Lingkong went upstairs by himself.

Fengzi, in high spirits, went to the garden, picked up a basket and scissors, and headed out, only to overhear the villa servants whispering.

"Young Master Ling Kong didn’t come home last night? Seems he didn’t return to the Councilman’s residence either. Where did he go?"

"Hey, hey, today I heard from the driver who went to pick him up that Young Master came out of Madam Aisha’s villa?"

"Ah, then did he spend the night with that girl? He couldn’t possibly be serious about her, could he? Last time he brought her back here from the intelligence bureau, carefully taking care of her. We’ve never seen him so attentive to any girl before."

"I don’t think it’s serious—just a temporary interest. Even if that girl was adopted by Madam Aisha, she’s merely the Governor’s daughter. Besides, she’s from Yalan Country. Her background can’t be considered good; how could she possibly marry into such a prestigious family like the Helian’s?"

"That’s indeed quite pitiful; such a beautiful girl can only be an affair."

Standing among the flowers, clutching a rose, Fengzi was stunned, her beautiful eyes filled with shock and disbelief, gradually growing cold and dark.

She hadn’t yet trimmed the thorns on the rose branch, and they pricked her finger painfully, making it bleed brightly onto the grass, dyed in a peculiar rich color.

She clutched the rose tightly, her face pale; her earlier joy and good mood seemed to be engulfed by an endless icy sea, drowning in the deep ocean. 𝑓𝓇𝘦ℯ𝘸𝘦𝑏𝓃𝑜𝘷ℯ𝑙.𝑐𝑜𝓂

Helian Ling Kong already has an affair.

Last night, he spent a wonderful time with that girl and only returned just now.

This was simply unbearable for her, even a bit humiliating, because she had been so confident, believing she had a great chance to capture this man’s heart and marry him.

Yet, reality struck her down so quickly.

Just a Governor’s daughter, what does she count for, what qualifications does she have to compete with her for a man—how could she possibly let go of the man that she had finally set her sights on?

Wait, something’s not right.

Fengzi’s eyes suddenly widened in realization, recalling the servants’ gossip mentioning Madam Aisha.

Madam Aisha, Governor’s daughter, that Madam Aisha—wasn’t she Yuan Aisha?

She revealed a hint of disdain and a cold smile.
