Chapter 1358: Crown Prince 01
Xia Yinian shot a look filled with utter tension at the man beside her, but was hesitant to speak up.
"In a hurry?" Jing Hanye turned his head to look at her.
Xia Yinian was almost bewildered by his calm demeanor; the countdown was happening and he was still asking if she was anxious.
If she had known that Young Master Jing would personally bring her here, she should have left with Beicheng earlier.
She had assumed that he would send someone else with her, not like this.
In fact, on the way here, Young Master Jing hadn’t deliberately slowed or quickened their pace.
Calculating by their current speed, they should arrive at the entrance when the host calls out "one".
But right now, Xia Yinian didn’t have the time to ponder how Master Jing could time things so precisely; she wished she could run, truly.
Every step she took alongside him needed to be very cautious, any mishap and she’d miss the competition altogether.
This competition felt like her lifeline, no kidding.
"Mmm mmm mmm." Xia Yinian nodded like a chick pecking grains.
"Don’t worry, I promise you won’t miss it." Jing Hanye cast an assuring glance at the person beside him.
His strides remained neither hurried nor slow.
Xia Yinian swallowed a gulp of saliva and continued moving forward.
It seemed that since the moment she got out of the car and was taken by the hand, she had no chance to refuse.
"Three, two, one."
As the host’s words fell, everyone’s eyes collectively focused on the entrance.
Sensing that something special was happening, the host also turned around to look.
A golden couple appeared before everyone, like a pair descended from heaven.
The man was tall and handsome, and the woman delicate and captivating, an utterly perfect pair.
Jing Hanye wore a simple black suit with no elaborate embellishments but maintained an air of nobility.
Paired with a flawlessly handsome face, it left one with a sense that such a person appears only out of legend.
Xia Yinian was wrapped tightly in a plain white long coat.
Such simple attire, paired with a delicate face that even women would want to cherish — in a word, beautiful!
The girl’s beauty wasn’t just enchanting but possessed a charm that easily invoked a man’s protectiveness.
The simultaneous appearance of these two rendered the entire venue silent for at least a few seconds.
The crowd slowly reacted, and an unprecedented commotion erupted.
"It’s the Crown Prince, it’s truly the Crown Prince!" Many couldn’t help but exclaim.
Given the Jing Family’s historical and economic status, even now, they exist akin to emperors of ancient times.
Bing City owes its standing as the capital of our country thanks to the Jing Family’s presence.
Jing Hanye, as the successor of Jing Family, is directly called the Crown Prince by everyone.
It’s not just people from Bing City who refer to him as such; others from other cities and even some from different countries know of this title.
However, Xia Yinian was not well-versed, and she couldn’t be sure what standing Jing Hanye had within the Jing Family, so she never thought in this direction.
"The Crown Prince? How can it be the Crown Prince? Is he a special guest at this year’s International Alchemy Competition?"
"Is it possible? I’ve heard the Crown Prince is always very busy and usually doesn’t concern himself with these things."
"It’s truly the Crown Prince, without a doubt!"
"My goodness! I never would have thought I’d see the Crown Prince in person today, it’s unbelievable!"
