Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Gu Chaoyan was thinking about the arrangement, so she failed to notice Xie Yan’s expression. She thought that it was because he was in a hurry to run some errands, but even if he had business to do, he should behave more calmly. Nothing mattered more than a life, and Gu Chaoyan did not want her previous work to be done in vain.

She said carefully, “Mr. Xie, you have been spending the past month at Xinlin Mansion, and you have not been out of the capital. So you must have no knowledge about the Crown Prince’s hunt for you. Also, the search is even stricter right now, though it is not that strict outside the capital.”

Xie Yan raised his eyebrows and looked at Gu Chaoyan.

This young girl was too young if she believed that what she said would make him scared enough to stay.

Xie Yan was no longer a young, gullible man. He would not fall for this trick.

He wanted to see how much longer Gu Chaoyan was going to hold, so he asked calmly, “Lady Chaoyan, what on earth are you trying to say?”

Having said this, he smiled at Gu Chaoyan. He had made up his mind – Gu Chaoyan was a very tricky girl, but she was a very nice person. So if she asked to hire him, he would still say yes to the request, even if she might not offer very good conditions.

She must be at the edge of asking him, Xie Yan thought. So he waited with a look of relaxation.

Gu Chaoyan still wore a very serious look. She said, “Mr. Xie, what I mean is that Zhou Huailing’s men are still everywhere in the capital, and the search is stricter. So if you travel outside of the capital right now, it might be dangerous.”

Xie Yan looked at Gu Chaoyan in silence, wanting to see how many more frightening words she was going to say.

Gu Chaoyan continued. “Just wait a couple of more days, I can have my men arranged to walk you out of the capital. When you are out of the capital, you can tell my men where you want to go, so that they can accompany you there.”

Having said this, she looked at Xie Yan with a serious look. “What do you think, Mr. Xie?”

Xie Yan had a very complicated look on his face, which stiffened and twitched.

Then he became totally dumbfounded. She was arranging her men to accompany him? To accompany him away?

So Gu Chaoyan had always been planning to see him off?

That basically meant that she had never thought about hiring him, and her so-called “wait” was just telling him to wait for further arrangement? What was going on?

He was sure that Gu Chaoyan did speak highly of him, but it seemed that she had never had the plan of keeping him?

Or… Or was she still playing a trick? She was advancing at him by giving him pressure, so that he would be forced to make the proposal first. After all, it would be her men who accompanied him, and he would still be at her disposal.

If that was the case, Gu Chaoyan was not only tricky, but also a really smart strategist.

He could not possibly recommend himself to stay, so all he could do was to play along just to see what this girl meant to do. You never knew what was happening until the last moment.

Xie Yan would very much like to see what more Gu Chaoyan could do.

Seeing his strange expression, Gu Chaoyan asked involuntarily, “Mr. Xie, are you not satisfied with this arrangement?”
