Heartthrob: The vampire princess doesn't want to be a stand-in

“Evelyn, you’re tired.”

"It's time to take a break."

Seeing that Evelin still didn’t speak, Jin Yingming bent down and slowly approached, and his big hands finally gently rubbed Evelin’s messy hair.

When I first saw her, her blonde hair was the most eye-catching.

Soft and dense, with a rich luster.

Just like the confident and flamboyant Evelyn at that time, now they are messy and boring.

It was just like Evelin now, exhausted and without any energy.

"I can't rest."

"Can't…"

Evelin’s muffled voice came, she still had her head buried in her knees.

But Jin Yingming could hear that she was trying hard to control her trembling voice and shoulders.

Yes, she is not a god, she gets tired too.

A young girl in her prime, after experiencing so many changes, still has to face the enemies who are eyeing her covetously with calmness.

She didn't even have the time or energy to have a good cry.

Ever since Edward's death, the guilt has been buried in her heart.

He also fell out with Garland, experienced unrequited love, and was framed by others.

As a man, even thinking about it made him tired, let alone Evelin.

"You can rest."

"From now on, you'll have me by your side."

"I will stay by your side and be the most loyal Rose Knight."

Jin Yingming put his hands on Evelin's shaking shoulders, wondering if such comfort would be useful to Evelin.

However, it was indeed an extremely difficult decision for him to make.

Becoming Evelyn's Rose Knight would mean that there would be no possibility between the two of them.

But in itself, it is impossible for the two of them.

Therefore, he chose to stay with Evelin forever in this way.

Letting go of the obsession of being together, protecting her, and taking care of her, isn't that also a kind of love?

"You are not qualified to be a Rose Knight."

Evelin raised her red and swollen eyes and looked at Jin Yingming, who was standing bent over under the dim light.

"But you are the head of the Lan family, who dares not to listen to you?"

"When the time comes, you will put on your airs as the head of the family and tell them in a high and mighty manner that I want Jin Yingming to be my Rose Knight. I am the head of the Lan family and you all must listen to me!"

Jin Yingming curled the corners of his mouth and spoke softly, imitating the tone of Evelin scolding Huo Wanqing, and squatted down to look at her at eye level.

Evelin burst into laughter. It was just a teasing joke.

From the bottom of her heart, Evelin had already accepted Jin Yingming’s advice.

"Don't regret it. I'm very difficult to serve."

"Can a pampered young master like you bear this?"

Evelin put her hands on her hips and pretended to be a proud young lady, but there were still crystal tears in the corners of her eyes.

"I am at your service at any time, young lady."

Jin Yingming knelt on one knee and looked up at Evelyn, imitating the way Yuri always obeyed Garland's orders.

"You need to learn more."

Evelin smiled and helped her up, still speaking teasing words.

"Yes, Miss."

"No, it's Her Royal Highness the Princess."

"Neither is right. I am still the queen."

The two walked downstairs teasing each other, and it seemed that Evelin's mood had relaxed for a moment.

However, the real test begins now.

The researcher who escaped with the research data hid himself after evading the Lan family's pursuers.

Of course, it would be completely impossible for him to do such a thing on his own.

After ensuring his own personal safety, he immediately took out the notebook that someone had prepared for him in the safe house and began to spread the news that Garland was infected with the LE virus.

He was not worried about his address being exposed, as the computer had already been tampered with.

Even if you were to check, you could only find that his IP address was abroad, and it would be impossible to find it here.

The Lan family is already at the center of the storm, and their every move is attracting much attention.

As soon as the statement that Garland was infected with the LE virus came out, it immediately caused an uproar on the Internet.

Various speculations followed.

Some people say it is a rumor and that the Lan family would never do such a thing.

Others said that they saw the Lan family strengthen their security system some time ago, and it seemed that there was a reason for this.

Some people even said that the Lan family had reached the end of its strength, and after Edward's death, there was no one who could take on the burden of the Lan family.

It is possible that they have been crazy for a long time, and Chunchun brought the LE virus back to the Northern Continent to take revenge on society, in order to infect everyone. Such outrageous remarks are everywhere.

"Still no clues?"

Evelyn snapped the laptop in front of her shut, and Ollie and Yuri in front of her shook their heads and lowered their heads in shame.

"No clues at all?"

Evelin took a deep breath and suppressed her anger.

"We only traced it to a foreign IP address. We sent someone to check and it turned out it wasn't that researcher at all."

Oli let out a long sigh. Having investigated the matter to this point was like running out of clues and he had no idea where to start.

“When we signed the agreement, we had the family information of these researchers.”

"Where is his family? They are still at the address he filled in the information."

Evelin interlocked her fingers and rested them on her chin, her shrewd eyes rolled and she thought of something.

"This... has not been verified yet."

Yuri was stunned and muttered.

"Why don't you go quickly?"

"If they don't leave, put them under house arrest immediately."

"I just don't believe that he can remain indifferent when his family's lives are threatened."

Evelin narrowed her eyes, a cold-blooded smile appeared on her face, and an icy aura emanated from her body.

"Yes!"

Yuri simply nodded at the order and turned away.

Jin Yingming, who was behind Evelin, stared at her back in a daze, feeling a little bit unbelievable in his heart. How could Evelin use such means to hurt innocent people?

"They are all innocent."

"You can't hurt them."

Jin Yingming still couldn’t help but speak to Evelin.

"He wants to kill the Lan family, and I should be kind to him?"

"My Lan family is not innocent?"

Evelin just found it funny after hearing this, how could Jin Yingming still be so naive.

"But isn't the Lan family still doing well now? Yet you want to put them under house arrest!"

As he spoke, Jin Yingming gradually became angry. He could not accept Evelin's cold-blooded way of handling the matter.

"At the beginning, Huo Wanqing also said that Val was innocent and let him go. What happened?"

"He killed the family that adopted him."

"Do we have to wait until rivers of blood flow before we can prove anything?"

Evelin spoke indifferently, and compared to Jin Yingming’s impatience, her calm demeanor seemed even more cold-blooded and ruthless.

"This is not the same thing at all!"

Jin Yingming was speechless, but still wanted to refute Evelin’s words.

"Then tell me what to do?"

"Take the fame and fortune he wants and persuade him to change his ways?"
