Chapter 452 Noah Arrived In C Ind
The weather on C Ind was terrible on the Lunar New Year''s Eve. It was raining and windy.
And considering it was winter, the temperature was quite low.
Those roaming outside would have their umbres deformed by the wind seconds after they were
opened, so they had no choice but to buckle themselves inside their coats tighter and hurry back home
or find a shelter from the rain.
Despite the terrible weather, a man in a ck windbreaker walked slowly on the road with his hands in
his pockets, seemingly oblivious to how much in a hurry other people were.
He was tall, rather thin, and seemed like he was going to have a difficult time standing straight in the
strong wind. But he could. Not only he could, but he even walked steadily into the most expensive hotel
on C Ind, seeminglypletely unbothered by the wind.
Right after the man went in, Vicente showed up and also entered the hotel. This hotel was the ce
she stayed in when she wasn’t in her castle.
She had only taken a couple of steps in when her phone suddenly rang.
Upon seeing "Princess Nina" on her phone screen, Vicente finally picked the call up.
"Oh, what a surprise! You are actually giving me a call! Do you want me to go home and celebrate the
Lunar New Year''s Eve with you and the children?" Vicente walked inside with a smile, patting the
raindrops on her head and body away with her empty hand from time to time.
Nina said, "Yes, you’ve been out for a month. When will youe back? I’m bored."
"You want me to go back because you’re bored? Won''t your conscience hurt? Why are you always like
this?" Vicente asked angrily.
"As you said, I''m always like this. What are you still getting angry about it for? Shouldn’t you get used
to it already?" Nina said teasingly.
"Then I won''t go back. You can spend the Lunar New Year''s Eve alone!" Vicente threatened.
"Sure! In that case, I''ll take your mom back to Scher Mountain to celebrate," Nina said calmly. "You''ll
have to celebrate alone."
"No, please don''t." Vicente and her mother had been living alone for years. Now that they finally have
Nina in their family, how could she be willing to live such a life again?
Vicente apologized immediately, "I''m sorry. I''m in the hotel. I’m going to get my luggage now, and I’ll be
home soon."
"Alright, I''ll wait for you at home. Don''t forget my gift."
"Your gift?"
"Oh, you haven’t prepared any gift for me?" Nina asked in reply.
When Vicente heard that, she seemed to see Nina standing in front of her, asking for a gift.
Frightened by the image in her mind, she hurriedly said, "Of course, I have! How could I not bring you
any gift?"
"Okay, bye then." Nina hung up.
Vicente sighed in relief and turned to her assistant. "What kind of gift should I prepare?"
"A gift? Is it for your wife?" Demi, Vicente’s assistant, was a racially mixed beauty with curly ck hair.
She was about 1.72 meters tall, almost the same height as Vicente.
"And our unborn children." Vicente looked at Demi. "But the main point is still Nina. You’re both women.
What kind of gift can make her the happiest?"
In fact, Vicente was also a girl, but she’d lived as a boy for years. If it weren''t for Nina’s appearance in
her life, Vicente would’ve forgotten her own gender.
Demi was silent, seemingly thinking about the matter. A momentter, she said, "I think she''ll like any
gift if you go to town on it."
"But it''s already toote now. I really don’t have the time to go to town on it." Vicente patted her
forehead in frustration.
Demi smiled. "You can give her whatever she wants."
"Good idea." Vicente''s eyes brightened, but a secondter, they dimmed again as if she had thought of
something that dispelled that idea. "But that won’t work. What she wants is too far away from here."
What Nina wanted was John.
John was far away in Lexingport City. It would take at least a day to get here from Lexingport City, and
that was if he took a flight. It would take about four to five days if he traveled by sea.
Moreover, with the ban Anne put, John simply couldn''t get close to C Ind,
unless he sneaked in.
Vicente eventually waved her hand in frustration. "Please think about it for me. We still have a couple of
hours to prepare the gift."
"Alright, leave it to me," Demi answered. When she looked away, she happened to see the side profile
of the man in a ck windbreaker standing at the front desk.
Judging from his silhouette and side profile, she knew that the man wasn’t a native of C Ind.
Demi said, "Count Nangong, that man is a little strange."
Vicente turned her gaze following her line of sight.
They heard the receptionist ask, "Hello, how may I help you?"
"I’d like to check in, but I haven’t made a reservation." The man frowned. "Do I have to make a
reservation to stay here?"
The guests of this hotel usually booked their rooms in advance, so what the man said was a little
surprising. Nevertheless, the receptionist still politely said, "That’ll depend on the avability of the
room, but you’re quite lucky, sir. We still have some avable rooms today. May I know how many
people will be staying with us?"
"It’s just me, and give me a suite."
"Sure, could you please show me your ID card?"
"Here." The man handed over his ID card.
Upon examining the card, the receptionist said with a rather surprised tone, "Mr. Ye, you’re from
Lexingport City?"
"Yes." Noah was baffled by the receptionist’s surprised expression. "Is there something wrong?"
"It’s nothing. I’m just a little surprised because we don''t get many guests from Lexingport City." There
seemed to be a strange glint in the receptionist’s eyes when she spoke. "Mr. Ye, please wait a moment.
We need to verify your information first."
In order to prevent the people of the Shi familying to C Ind to look for Nina, Anne had already
issued a strict order in this aspect. C Ind was closed to anyone rted to the Shi family.
The Ye family and all members of the Shi family were on the list, but Noah''s upation was special,
and he had always kept a low profile. Besides, it was impossible for C Ind to know everything about
Lexingport City. In the end, the receptionist couldn’t find out that Noah was rted to the Ye family.
The receptionist smiled and said, "Mr. Ye, your room is on the 22nd floor. This is your key card. Have a
good time."
"Thank you." Noah took the key card. "By the way, I’d like to ask you about Princess Nina."
When he received the message, Nina only asked him toe to C Ind, but she didn''t tell him how to
contact her.
So, he could only ask around.
"Princess Nina?" The receptionist was stunned. "Are you looking for Princess Nina?"
Vicente, who stood not too far from them and heard everything, was also curious. Why was this man
looking for Nina?
She’d seen John''s portrait. When Nina was free, she would stay in the greenhouse to paint. Many of
the drawings were about her and John.
Although Vicente only saw the man’s side profile and silhouette, she felt that the man wasn’t John.
The man had short spiky hair and was very tall. However, he seemed less than 1.9 meters tall. John
couldn''t possibly shrink in half a year, could he?
"It shouldn''t be him," Vicente mumbled.
"Who?" Demi asked in confusion.
"Nobody." Vicente shook her head and continued to eavesdrop.
Noah''s hair was still wet from the rain. They looked like pine needles stained with dew. He nodded
affirmatively towards the receptionist, causing some water droplets to flow down his temples.
"I''m her friend," he said.
The receptionist smiled politely. "Mr. Ye, are you sure you’re Princess Nina’s friend? If you’re, you
should be able to contact her."
Faint creases were formed on Noah’s brows. "I can''t get in touch with her."
"Sir, in that case, you should go to see Count Nangong."
"I''m sorry, who?"
When the receptionist was about to answer, she saw Vicente walking towards them. She bowed
respectfully and greeted, "Count Nangong."
Noah turned his head and saw a feminine-looking man walking towards him. The man wasn’t as tall as
him and seemed rather pompous.
When Vicente saw Noah''s staid, handsome face, she was awestruck and a little smitten for a brief
moment. This kind of man was totally to her taste.
Despite his staid appearance, Noah actually looked rather miserable and pitiful after getting drenched
by rain.
"Are you looking for Nina?" Vicente asked. "Are you from Lexingport City? Nina’s friend?"
Noah''s gaze deepened. He stared at the man in front of him and said, "It seems that you have a good

rtionship with her."
"Yep, more than good actually. I''m her husband," said Vicente with a smile.
"Husband?!" Noah waspletely dumbfounded.
His reaction seemed to give a clue to Vicente about his identity. "You’re from Lexingport City. Your
surname is Ye. You’re a friend of Nina. Are you perhaps Noah Ye?"
If he was really Noah, Vicente’s gift problem would be solved. She would have a gift for Nina!
