Me and My Cold CEO Wife

Chapter 1709 - 1698: High Rank Bloodline

But the "Good Friend" card doesn't have any chance at all."Doesn't Grand Duke Andrew know anything?"

"Um... should be not, I guess."

Alice hesitated, "I told Uncle Murphy not to tell Dad about these matters."

Ning Fan shook his head with a smile, "Silly girl. Your dad definitely knows."

In a family-based race like the Blood Clan, high rank bloodline essentially has absolute control over low rank bloodline, and the low rank bloodline greatly respects the high rank bloodline.

This clan relationship, entirely based on bloodline, even surpasses humans.

This is why there are very few traitors within the Blood Clan.

As for Murphy, who's burdened with the heavy responsibility of bodyguard, facing Alice's personality shift. How could he possibly know and not report?

After listening to Ning Fan's explanation, Alice said in surprise, "No way. But why hasn't Dad ever mentioned this?"

"I think you misunderstood the Grand Duke's meaning. Different etiquette is used in different social occasions.

In front of the Blood Clan, you are the Duke's daughter; your words and actions represent the Morgan Family. If you do something against etiquette, it will bring shame to the Morgan Family..."

Hearing these words, Alice suddenly became enlightened, "So that's how it is. I'll go tell Dad right away, and know what to do in the future."

Upon hearing this, Ning Fan said, half laugh, half cry, "You're silly. How can such a thing be said?"

"Why can't it be said?"

Seeing Alice's innocent foolishness, Ning Fan explained helplessly, "Such matters can only be understood tacitly, not spoken. Saying it out would break the mutual understanding."

"But didn't you say Dad doesn't oppose?"

"Not opposing doesn't mean agreeing. It's merely tacit approval."

...

The hotel arrived, and Alice was satisfied, while Ning Fan was almost driven mad.

It's as if going back to yesterday's scene; Alice's series of naive and laughable questions nearly overwhelmed Ning Fan's brain driver.

"Looks like I need to send a copy of 'Thick Black Theory' to satisfy her curiosity."

Thinking of facing thousands of Blood Clan's pursuits, Ning Fan quickly abandoned this bold idea.

If he leads such an innocent and kind girl into becoming a thick-skinned and scheming dark witch, Andrew might come after Ning Fan with a knife.

Back at the Emperor's Pavilion, seeing the two Grand Dukes still there, Ning Fan asked doubtfully, "Didn't you say you were going back to the family?"

Andrew said without a blush, "There are no flights today."

William nodded awkwardly, as if agreeing with this reason, and quickly moved on the topic, "I've already contacted the airport, tomorrow..."

Upon hearing this, Ning Fan quickly said, "By the way. Alice and I have arranged to go by car tomorrow."

"Going by car..."

William frowned a bit, then said, "Won't it take too long?"

Andrew said loudly, "Not long! Not long at all. Besides, flying is so unsafe, cars are more reliable, and you can enjoy the scenery along the way."

"Then it's settled. I won't disturb you two anymore."

After Ning Fan left, the two Dukes couldn't help but look at each other,

After a while, William dryly said, "Ning Fan doesn't seem familiar with America."

"Should be."

Andrew added, "Alice has never been to the Gambling City, seems like she doesn't know either."

"Looks like that's how things are."

William sighed, glancing at the smug Andrew, coldly snorting, "You old fox, aren't you afraid of hurting your daughter?"

"Why would I hurt her?"

Andrew snorted, then sneered, "I've already thought it through. If they can be together, it's okay even if Ning Fan fails to complete the embrace. With his power, plus our assistance, living for hundreds of years isn't a problem.

For two people to be together that long is already enough for the Blood Clan."

"You old bastard. You're the most despicable and sinister in the entire Blood Clan."

"What did you say. You, the ragheaded guy, have the nerve to say that to me."

"How dare you make a move!"

...

Remembering Ning Fan's advice clearly, Alice did not mention this matter in front of Andrew, not even sneaking around testing once.

"A true lady should never let her back touch the chair-back."

Recalling the family etiquette teacher's words, Alice boldly leaned back on the chair.

A peculiar sound echoed loud in the ears of Blood Clan, who naturally had sharp hearing.

Just as Alice worried her movement was too big, she only heard, "Darling daughter, what's the matter?"

"I'm fine."

Andrew suddenly asked, "By the way. Are you going with Ning Fan by car to Las Vegas?"

"Yes."

Seeing his daughter's unwavering response, Andrew's expression became strange, "Do you know where the Gambling City is?"

"I don't know."

Alice had always lived in Massachusetts, and could count on her fingers the times she was in New York.

Regarding Las Vegas, she had only heard of its fame and knew nothing about the actual place.

"Haven't you been there before..."

As he spoke, Andrew fell silent.

Alice always traveled by private jet, going back and forth, with no concept of geographic location.

"Don't worry Dad. This time Ning Fan's driver will take us there, we won't get lost, if necessary there's still navigation."

Andrew asked in surprise, "Driver? Aren't you going for a self-driving trip?"

"This isn't a trip." Alice said again, "Dad, anything else?"

"No. By the way... you're leaving tomorrow, pack everything you need."

"Okay. Goodnight Dad."

Watching his daughter's departing back, Andrew smiled gently, "These two little muggle, really do match."

Back in the room, Alice felt a surge of joy, "Ning Fan was indeed right."

With this trial, a certain girl began to gradually set herself free.

That night, Ning Fan made a call to his driver.

"Pickup within ten seconds of ringing; this speed isn't bad."

Ning Fan nodded with satisfaction.

This at least proved Bick's brains were still intact, hasn't forgotten his role.

"Dear boss. You finally remembered me. Bick missed you so much..."

As the call connected, Bick's loud voice came through, followed by rhythmic longing.

Ning Fan chuckled and directly said, "Get a good rest tonight, tomorrow we're going to Las Vegas."

"What!"

Noticing the woman's teasing laughter on the other end, Ning Fan said displeased, "Don't you want to?"

"No. Willing to serve the boss."

"Tomorrow morning at seven, come to Manhattan Hotel to pick me up. Remember, don't be late."

"Rest assured, boss, I'll be on time."

Just as Ning Fan was about to hang up the phone, heard Bick shouting on the other side, "You all go back. Don't bother me tonight, tomorrow Bick's got a major task."
