Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

He was not in a hurry to leave. He just wanted to give Gu Chaoyan some pressure. He had been waiting constantly for Gu Chaoyan to try to keep him, yet she had made no moves.

He got increasingly bored drinking tea in the yard, and he had been pestered by this matter.

Normally, a strategist like him required patience, but for some reason, he did not have much patience for this, and he had gotten increasingly anxious.

Well, he could no longer wait.

He was going to give Gu Chaoyan some pressure, so that she would know what she ought to do.

!!

Xie Yan was waiting for Gu Chaoyan in the yard which Gu Chaoyan found strange. She had noticed that Xie Yan loved to be left alone, but he was also quite realistic, and he could be very defensive as well. He was worried that she would trick him, so most of the time, he would refuse to speak with her. That was why Gu Chaoyan did not go to speak with him.

However, now he showed up!

Gu Chaoyan walked out of the room and sat down by Xie Yan’s side. She poured herself a cup of tea and asked Xie Yan. “What can I help you with, Mr. Xie?”

Xie Yan could not help snorting, seeing Gu Chaoyan’s innocent look.

This girl was more tricky than ever. She needed to speak with him, but she tolerated the urge, and did not ask him to stay even at this point.

In this case, he started the conversation.

Xie Yan lost his patience for drinking tea. He said straightforwardly, “Lady Chaoyan, the promised month is expiring and I intend to leave in advance. I am extremely bored at Xinlin Mansion, so it would be best if I leave earlier.”

Then he threw a purposeful look at Gu Chaoyan, trying to see how she would react.

Gu Chaoyan was slightly surprised.

Xie Yan was, after all, a man who needed protection. And it would be she who arranged the men to protect him. However, he not only refused to stay longer, but suggested leaving in advance. That was quite surprising.

Gu Chaoyan thought for a while.

She would definitely not stop him, if he wanted to leave, but here in the capital, Zhou Huailing’s men were still hunting Xie Yan. If he left in this way, then the whole month’s work would be wasted.

He needed to leave under the Shadow Door’s protection, but it would take some time for Shadow Door to make the preparations.

Gu Chaoyan looked at Xie Yan and said, “Mr. Xie, can’t you wait a little longer?”

Hearing this Xie Yan smiled. He looked rather satisfied. This girl was getting anxious!

He knew that this girl must have thought that he was having a peaceful time staying at Xinlin Mansion, so she did not propose anything quickly. Now she suggested that he should wait, so she must be thinking about keeping him after all.

Waiting a little longer?

Xie Yan looked at Gu Chaoyan and frowned. “Waiting for what?”

Having said this, he decided to wait for Chaoyan to speak.

He smiled and looked at Gu Chaoyan, waiting.
