Chapter 327: Chapter 314: Dare Not Think

Chu Jinnian couldn’t be bothered to argue with Fan Wenxuan any longer. After giving his orders, he simply walked away.

Fan Wenxuan, however, was relentless in his pursuit, muttering curses under his breath, “Chu Jinnian, I truly did not expect you to be such a hypocrite. You’re lower than a beast!”

“Mr. Fan, what’s the matter?” Ning Feng and Jing Zhao blocked the path of an irate Fan Wenxuan, who seemed ready to tear Chu Jinnian apart.

“What’s the matter? Lucky I came in when I did. Otherwise, Miss Zhuang’s virtue would have been tarnished by Chu Jinnian!” Fan Wenxuan said indignantly.

What did you say?

The eyes of Ning Feng and Jing Zhao nearly popped out in shock.

Really? This Fan Wenxuan sure has peculiar thinking.

After enough time to drink a cup of tea had passed…

Fan Wenxuan paced around the courtyard for a bit, “You said it’s true?”

“Would I lie?” Ning Feng raised an eyebrow, “Mr. Fan, if you don’t believe it, you can check for yourself. It’s just that Miss Zhuang clung on to the young master’s sleeve and refused to let go, so the young master had no other choice.” “Even during dinner, the young master showed tolerance and ate a few mouthfuls nonchalantly. He took off his outer garment just now, probably in an attempt to take his leave. After all, he couldn’t possibly stay here forever, could he?”

“Look, his sleeve is still in Miss Zhuang’s hand…”

Furthermore, Mr. Fan, you know the young master’s character. Over the years, when has he ever had any romantic interests? Even those who schemed to get ’ close to him in the past could not win him over.”

“The young master was especially considerate towards Miss Zhuang today, probably because he admired her courage and pity her for being a frail, young maiden who does not fear danger and has a strong survival instinct. Moreover, she saved many unfortunate people.”

Hearing Ning Feng’s words, Fan Wenxuan’s frown deepened.

He understood the logic.

And the truth seemed exactly as described, he had indeed witnessed it.

Now, here’s the problem.

He had genuinely misunderstood Chu Jinnian earlier and had insulted him. Given Chu Jinnian’s cold personality, wouldn’t he hold a grudge over this?

He always kept finding fault with Chu Jinnian, and now with this incident added to the list…

He dared not think about it!

After mulling over it for a while, Fan Wenxuan walked towards Chu Jinnian’s courtyard.

Although Chu Jinnian had asked him earlier to stop Fan Wenxuan, it was clearly because of the misunderstanding. Since everything had been clarified and Fan Wenxuan had calmed down, Ning Feng did not try to stop him.

Fan Wenxuan walked straight into Chu Jinnian’s courtyard and entered his bedroom.

Chu Jinnian had just finished his bath. His body was still damp, and his hair wasn’t dry yet, let alone tied up. It was loosely hanging at the back of his head. He looked less stem than usual and more like a gentle and charming young master.

Especially, the pale white inner robe that he was wearing was casually put on, exposing half of his chest. His languid posture as he leaned on the soft couch, combined with the teasing expression that appeared on his face upon seeing ’ him, gave him a somewhat demon-like allure.

It had to be said, Chu Jinnian truly was an exceptionally handsome man.

“Mr. Fan, do you have something to say?” Chu Jinnian turned a page of the book in his hand.

Even though he knew why he had come, he was deliberately asking.

Chu Jinnian was clearly doing this on purpose.

No, I was just feeling thirsty and came here for some water.” Fan Wenxuan peevishly sat down at the table, poured himself a cup of tea, and after tasting a sip, he frowned, “Honestly, even the tea here tastes terrible. If I had known, I wouldn’t have come.”

“If that’s the case, then please do as you wish, Mr. Fan.” Chu Jinnian did not even bother to lift his eyelids.

“You’re really annoying!” Fan Wenxuan fumed.

“At least I don’t easily misunderstand others.” Chu Jinnian turned another page of his book.

Fan Wenxuan,”…”

This Chu Jinnian, he really is frustratingly articulate.

Alright, alright, it was me who jumped to conclusions. I had a wrong impression about you, and misunderstood you. I apologize. Is that satisfactory?”

As Fan Wenxuan said these words, he slammed the table in agitation. This time, Chu Jinnian finally turned his head and spared Fan Wenxuan a glance.

He wasn’t showing any signs of remorse, his words sounded like they were being forcibly squeezed out through gritted teeth.

However, one should not expect too much. Considering Fan Wenxuan’s usually arrogant character, being able to mutter an apology was already a rare occurrence.

If it were anyone else, it would be worth boasting about in the capital city. Chu Jinnian didn’t bother to make a fuss about it any longer, and simply turned his gaze back onto the book in his hands.

As for Chu Jinnian’s continuous disregard, Fan Wenxuan stroked his beard irritably.

Never mind, even if it’s not a success, it’s not a failure either. At least there’s still a chance for further discussion.

“The pomt here is that he didn’t blame me for this misunderstanding. In fact, anyone who had just walked in on that scene would have thought the same ’ thing as me…” Fan Wenxuan went on to defend himself.

There are indeed few who would think the same as you.

Finally unable to bear it any longer, Chu Jinnian smirked, “Mr. Fan, you mentioned earlier that you had an urgent matter to discuss with me. What is it precisely?”

“This…” Fan Wenxuan was momentarily stumped.

He instinctively touched his nose.

How could he vocalize this matter?

He had initially thought that after Chu Jinnian’s return, there would be an opportunity to slowly broach the topic, but now there was this awkward situation. To suddenly ask about this urgent matter, it was indeed not easy to explain.

“Ahem…well…”

“The thing is…” After a light cough, Fan Wenxuan cleared his throat, “Recently,

I heard that young women in Zeng County and adjoining counties are frequently being abducted, and the local magistrates seem helpless to tackle the situation. I fear that if this continues, the bandits will become more rampant, causing mischief and becoming uncontrollable.”

“Therefore, I specially asked Ning Feng to inform you, so that after learning about this matter, you could take necessary action. Indeed, your sagacity and martial prowess are exceptional. Even before hearing about this matter, you had apprehended the bandits and eliminated the source of misery. This is truly fortune for the common people.”

“I truly bow down before your impressive deeds.”

Hearing Fan Wenxuan’s words, Chu Jinnian hissed.

“Are you feeling unwell, young master?”

A glimmer of craftiness flashed in Fan Wenxuan’s eyes.

“I’m fine, I just suddenly felt my teeth hurting a bit.”

His words clearly indicated that Fan Wenxuan’s flattery was so excessive that it was hard to bear, thus a subtle mockery at the same time.

At this moment, Fan Wenxuan didn’t care about these things. He quickly racked his brain for a way to change the topic, “Since you are not feeling well, I won’t bother you any further. Have some rest, young master.”

“That’s just as well. So tomorrow morning, Mr. Fan, please explain this ‘urgent matter’ to me in detail..”
