30 He will beat all the odds just for Yeri to stay by his side!
"Young Master Keir, you have a call from your study." Butler Hong stood beside Shin as he uttered in a low voice.
Shin blankly glance, still lost in his thoughts.
"It's the young lady, Miss Zhi." Butler Hong pleasingly remarked.
"Who?" Shin doubtingly asked, did he heard him right?
His little drunkard took the initiative to call him?
"It's Miss Zhi, should I tell her to call you back later?"
"No, I'll go there now." Shin abruptly stood up, the dark and desperate glint in his eyes quickly faded.
He initially planned to see her today or at least pretend to visit Zahn so her parents won't suspect meeting him again but this old woman completely ruined his plan.
Butler Hong bowed to Shin and meaningfully nodded to Allister Keir, alas, the pretty young lady truly has a special place in their young master's heart.
He was glad to seek Tristan Felan for assistance and hopefully, this isn't just a fleeting feeling for the tyrant emperor.
Calin panicked seeing Shin Keir walked away ignoring the old woman's spite.
What is the point of her being there if they don't get acquainted?!
It was wrong of her to depend on this rustic old woman! If only the Keir patriarch is there.

"Hello?"
Yeri's groggy yet soft and alluring voice felt like the first ray of sunrise to Shin's ear, warm and comforting, enough to take away all his worries and self-loathe.
"You called, miss me already?" Shin plastered a jaw-dropping smile that anyone has yet to witness in that lifetime.
"Huh? well..."
On the other side, Yeri stared at her phone, confused and annoyed.
Damn that male god casanova! this is the second time he pulled a prank on her!
He incessantly called her this early morning spouting nonsense about Shin in a state of emergency and without further explanation transferred the call to Shin's butler.
What emergency?! he sounds completely fine to her!
"Young Master Keir, It wasn't me who called you...I mean-"
"You don't have to be shy, I know you want to hear my voice and I had told you before to call me Shin, not Young Master." Shin playfully interrupted her.
He knew it's most likely Tristan pulling some tricks, after all, she doesn't know his home number.
"Whatever you say! since you sound alright I would very much love to go back to sleep." Yeri rolled her eyes, it's a sad reality that most male gods are narcissistic.
Shin chuckled, "Is girlfriend worried about me?"
'Yes, I'm afraid you might soon bite your tongue from your nonsense!' Yeri wanted to say.
"Anyway, why did you cry last night? did something happened?" Shin asked, not hearing any response from her.
"How did you know?! we're you spying on me? Young Master Keir, we may be in a relationship but I don't recall agreeing for you to have someone spy on me." Yeri felt alarmed.
"Zahn told me from his message earlier so I got worried. I didn't know it will upset you, sorry..."
Yeri once again stared at her phone, dumbfounded.
What the hell was that?!
The mean, grumpy and arrogant Shin Keir who chased and threatened to shoot her, is actually apologizing?!
Could this be the emergency Tristan Felan is talking about? or perhaps Shin just woke up on the wrong side of the bed?
"Yeri? are you still upset?"
"eh? oh...not at all, It was my fault for overreacting and there's no need for you to worry, I just had a bad dream last night." Yeri absently replied.
"Good, you need more rest so I won't hold you any longer, remember to take your medicine on time and call me if you need anything."
"Yeah, thanks...Uhm, bye." Yeri suddenly felt awkward.
"hmm, bye."
Shin leaned on the table with his hands in his pockets, looking devious and triumphant.
He was a fool to get momentarily affected by his father and stepmother's circumstances.
When did he, Shin Keir, easily back down and let go?
Though at first, he was dubious and rather shallow-minded for treating his relationship with Yeri as something out of lust and desire, he's now certain he wanted more than that.
It doesn't matter if he would have to lower his pride, play the tragic hero or be the villain, he will beat all the odds just for Yeri Zhi to stay by his side!
A knock on the door broke Shin's reverie and his handsome face twisted with disgust and hatred upon seeing a vile creature coming in.
"Who are you and who give you permission to enter?!"
Calin Ricci shivered hearing Shin's cold and menacing voice, but then he is already within her reach, how can she give up?
"Young Master Keir, allow me to introduce myself..." Calin bravely met his gloomy eyes.
"I am Calin Ricci, I believe we had met on some occasions before from our family gatherings. I apologize for my sudden intrusion but I couldn't keep up with their conversation outside...I thought we can take this time to get acquainted and know each other better." Calin appeared pure and gentle as she tilted her head and showed off her angelic smile.
'I am the famed goddess of the country, you should already recognise me from my name alone.' she internally assumed.
'Ricci?' Shin turned on the air purifier, only remembering her surname while the rest were rubbish to him.
"Leave my sight in 5 seconds or get crippled!"
Calin looked shocked, as expected that photo was a hoax!
However, she had waited long enough for him! It doesn't matter if Shin Keir is a woman-hater, with her status and beauty, she can definitely change him!
"L-look, I don't know how I offended you but aren't you aware of the arrangement between our families? I think you're hating the wrong person, I didn't have a choice! we may not like each other but at least we can be friends." Calin sounded wronged as tears loomed in her eyes.
Shin had an indifferent expression and pressed the security button under his desk.
In a few seconds, two men in black suits entered and came to a tacit understanding upon seeing a woman inside.
Is she an idiot? how can she not feel the oppressive and murderous atmosphere in there?
"Break her legs and throw her out of the estate!" Shin commanded, enunciating every word.
"Kyaaaa!" Calin screamed and slumped on the floor to protect her legs, looking beyond terrified, turns out Shin Keir is blind and thoughtless!
Not long after, the people from the living room also rushed over, hearing Calin's loud shrieked.
Butler Hong was petrified, he was certain the tyrant emperor's mood lightened with that call from Miss Zhi, how could this woman ruin it? and how did she manage to evade his supervision?
Shin blankly glance, still lost in his thoughts.
"It's the young lady, Miss Zhi." Butler Hong pleasingly remarked.
