Chapter 1359: Crown Prince 02
"Is it really the Crown Prince? And who’s the girl he’s holding hands with? The Prince is obviously still single, so how could this mysterious woman suddenly appear?"
"This girl is so beautiful, standing beside the Crown Prince..."
"Beautiful? I don’t think so at all. Who is she? How is she qualified to walk alongside the Prince, and she even..."
"She’s holding the Prince’s hand, what does that mean?"
Jing Hanye’s fangirls are everywhere across the country, and even many from other countries adore him.
His identity is so important, and though many have seen his photos, unfortunately, few have seen him in person.
The whispers were not only from our country; people from abroad were also discussing in their own dialects.
Seeing the Crown Prince leading a girl over, the Host took a long time to react.
Xia Yinian was overjoyed to see Jing Hanye coming in with her; immediately, the staff actively helped her finalize her registration procedures.
That means she wasn’t late; she successfully signed in.
Amid her excitement, the man beside her held her hand, leading her somewhere unknown.
The discussions about the Prince reached her ears; she blinked her eyes and only then did she react.
As Xia Yinian finally registered the situation, she glanced around the venue, instantly losing her composure.
She had been too happy to remember there were thousands of people here.
At a glance, thousands of eyes were fixed on her, making her palm tense and her steps stiff.
Her high-heeled feet suddenly stopped, but due to inertia, her body continued forward.
If it wasn’t for the man beside her holding her tightly, Xia Yinian would have publicly tripped and fallen.
Being surrounded by so many people made her uneasy, but what made her most uncomfortable were those gazes and conversations about the Crown Prince.
The Crown Prince? She looked at the man beside her and swallowed hard.
"Nian Nian, what’s wrong?"
Jing Hanye looked at Xia Yinian, his gaze pure and without any distractions.
"Nothing, nothing." Xia Yinian shook her head.
Even if there was something to say, it couldn’t be here on stage, where thousands of eyes seemed ready to shoot her down.
"Let’s go." She took a deep breath and struggled to move her legs.
Xia Yinian just remembered that everyone seemed to actually call the future heir of the Jing Family the Crown Prince.
Being led by the Crown Prince, she undoubtedly became the center of attention.
Uh... why didn’t she ask him to release her? Why was she still walking alongside him?
Besides, he is the Crown Prince; bringing her here is already doing her a big favor, he can leave anytime, can’t he?
In that instant, Jing Hanye led Xia Yinian down the stage, his steps still unhurried.
Held by him, she could only keep her head down and continue walking.
Though she had no idea where he was taking her.
"Nian Nian, it’s really Nian Nian." Ye Shushu excitedly stood up.
Yuan Yaying was much calmer, but looking at her expression showed just how pleased she really was.
"Unexpectedly, at the last moment, Xia Yinian, Lady Xia from Ye City in our country, still managed to arrive on time."
"After being ’lost’ for quite some time, the Host finally responded.
"This means, all of our participants for this edition have now entered, and now I will announce..."
As the Host spoke, a stirring music played on-site.
"The fifteenth International Alchemy Competition officially begins."
