Fang Yuxuan's brow tightened. The shock in her eyes vanished, leaving only wariness. This guy... he knew her
title? Was he from the organization?
But what he said next caught Yuxuan completely off guard.
"You didn't deny it. Looks like you really are the Chang'an Empress."
"You tricked me?"
"No... I was just confirming it."
He said nothing more. After glancing at the woman's angry expression, he hesitated.
"If you don't need me to drive, I'll let the captain know..."
"No. You'll do."
Yuxuan studied him. Something was off about him: the way he spoke, what he knew, even his body
was strange. He had stirred her

She couldn't let him out of her sight.
"Then thank you for choosing me, Empress... No, I should call you 'Angel' now."
Xi Yang didn't smile. Despite his polite words, his expression showed little emotion. He spoke
as though he were discussing work with an ordinary person.
"Heh..."
Yuxuan gave a cold chuckle. Everything about him seemed odd, and that bothered her. By all rights,

They got into the car without a word. Xi Yang drove quietly, making no idle conversation or asking
a single question. He sat there like
a robot.
If Yuxuan hadn't sensed the signs of human life from him, she might truly have believed he was a
robot.
Silence filled the
