Chapter 251: You are not senja

After they're done discussing, Qi Xunyi went back to Greenhill Mountain with the 51 children and his people, on the same day. The large number of people in their entourage were hard to miss.

The sky had almost turned dark by now.

Senja looked at them from the balcony of the lodgment on the second floor. Xiao Tianyao was talking to Qi Xunyi, both seemed deep in discussion.

"Young Miss Senja?"

Someone called her from behind.

Senja turned only to see Xiao Jun standing at the doorstep of the balcony. He smiled at her warmly.

"I don't think I have introduced myself properly to you before. I am Xiao Jun, Xiao Tianyao's older brother." Xiao Jun bowed slightly as Senja did the same.

"Senja greets Prince Xiao Jun." She said softly.

"Xiao Tianyao must have troubled you during this period of time."

"I wouldn't dare say so. Prince Xiao Tianyao is an upright man."

[Well, besides the fact that he happened to sneak into her room, was domineering and had even threatened her, he's quite nice. And she liked him now.]

"Young Miss Senja, can I ask for your time?" Xiao Jun said politely.

"Sure." Senja nodded.

She thought Xiao Jun would talk to her right there, however he gestured her to follow him.

"After you Young Miss Senja." He said, like the gentleman he was.

Senja walked past him and Xiao Jun caught up beside her with Feng Chang and Yang Yu tailing them.

Senja had started to realize that Yang Yu had never left her side ever since Xiao Tianyao went to the fake location of the transaction. He hadn't brought Yang Yu along, but left him with her instead. If it wasn't Xiao Tianyao, then who could order Yang Yu about?

And this morning he'd said he didn't like her with straight face. [Such a hypocritical man! Who would believe him? At least I wouldn't!]

They walked all the way to the first floor and to the small pound at the backyard of the lodgment before Xiao Jun told Feng Chang and Yang Yu to stay a little bit farther from them, while Senja and he sat on the bench by the pond.

Feng Chang and Yang Yu stayed quite far. Far enough not to be able to eavesdrop but near enough for Xiao Jun to make sure that not either one could be able run back to inform Xiao Tianyao about their whereabouts.

Xiao Jun had something vital to discuss with Senja and she could feel it.

This man before her wasn't someone as simple as he appeared on the surface. But, Senja didn't feel any malicious intent from him. That was why she could safely assume that he wouldn't be up to no good.

The girl sat beside him obediently. She didn't say anything and didn't know what Xiao Jun wanted to talk to her about.

On the other hand, Xiao Jun looked calm as he took his time.

"Young Miss Senja, right?"

"… Yes." Senja tilted her head, didn't quite understand his opening statement.

"I heard you lost your memory."

"… Yes."

"You don't remember anything?"

"…Yes." The wrinkle in Senja's eyebrows deepened.

[What's with these questions?]

"Let me make it clearer." Xiao Jun turned to face Senja. "Did you lose your memory, or did you not have memory to begin with?"

Senja's back stiffened, but her expression didn't give away her astonishment.

[Impossible, is he also…]

"What do you say?" Xiao Jun probed.

"I don't quite understand what Prince Xiao Jun means." Senja tried to sound him out.

"What if I said you are not Elder Dam's granddaughter?" Xiao Jun enunciated his every word.

Now Senja gasped astounded.

[Uncle Su was the first person who knew that she wasn't the real Senja. Could it be possible that… ]

"Uncle Su told you?" Senja restrained herself from giving away any emotions as she remained calm.

But she had completely forgotten about the proper way to address Xiao Jun. Nonetheless, Xiao Jun didn't bother with it.
