“It is not very convenient.” said Zi Yi in a soft voice. She didn’t sound like she was refusing, it sounded more like she wanted to accept his offer. Lin Hao Jie was surprised. When he saw that she was acting shy, a smile appeared on his face.
“If Miss Zi Yi doesn’t like it or has doubts in regard to my personality, I can also give you the entire mansion and I will spend the night outside. That is absolutely no problem.” said Mo Hao Jie sounding righteous and awe-inspiring.
“No, of course not, what you proposed is perfect.” hastily replied Zi Yi. Zi Ling and Lin Feng were stupefied. But Lin Hao Jie immediately smiled and said: “So I understand that you’re accepting my offer.”
“If it is too inconvenient for you, please tell me.” said Zi Yi while lowering her head in a shy fashion.
“What are you talking about? It is a great pleasure for me.” said Lin Hao Jie while smiling.
“Zi Yi, sister, how could accept to spend the night in a stranger’s room?” said Zi Ling in a low voice while firmly shaking her sister’s hand.
“Zi Ling, young men like Master Lin are rare. Do you think that he is not trustworthy? Let’s go together!” said Zi Yi.
“Ignorant!” said a cold and detached voice. It came from Lin Feng.
At that moment, Lin Feng was looking at Lin Hao Jie, he said in a cold and detached way: “At the foot of the mountain, you said that they shouldn’t let me stay in the thatched hut because I might try something and now you’re inviting them to go to your place? Don’t you think that you might try something? Isn’t that what outstanding and handsome young men of high status do?”
Lin Hao Jie was stupefied. He coldly looked at Lin Feng. Immediately after, he smiled and said: “Could it be that you think that you could be compared with the likes of me?”
“Ridiculous.” said Lin Feng. “As if having a high social status could give you the right to mislead young girls.”
“Hmph!” Lin Hao Jie groaned coldly. He looked at Zi Yi and said: “Miss Zi Yi, since that is the case, you can forget my offer, goodbye!” When he finished talking, Lin Hao Jie started to leave.
“Master Lin, wait, wait!” shouted Zi Yi while running after him. She said: “I obviously don’t agree with him!”
Zi Yi turned her head around and coldly looked at Lin Feng. She then immediately said to Zi Ling: “Sister, let’s go together!”
“I’m not going.” said Zi Ling while shaking her head.
“Alright. Then be careful that he does not try anything.” replied Zi Yi while looking at Lin Feng and then ran after Lin Hao Jie.
Lin Feng looked at Zi Yi’s disappearing silhouette. He was exasperated. He had warned her over and over again, but since Zi Yi was stubborn, Lin Feng had no other solution. He was also done with the task which Zi Nan had given. He promised to make sure the girls would be safe until they reached the Zi Governmental Palace.
“Why are you not going with her?” asked Lin Feng.
“Maybe you are right. Things are not always as they appear to be. Even though Lin Hao Jie is handsome, extraordinary and very strong, he might be very hypocritical.” said Zi Ling in a low voice while pouting and gazing into the distance.
“Well then, are you not going to listen to your sister’s words and be careful of me?” asked Lin Feng while slightly laughing. Lin Hao Jie was, indeed, very hypocritical.
Zi Ling turned her head and looked at Lin Feng. She chuckled and said: “But if you meant us harm, you had an opportunity down there in the thatched hut, why would you wait for us to arrive at the Zi Government palace?”
Lin Feng was surprised by her pure smile. The corner of her mouth had curved into a gentle smile. Things were not always as they appeared, especially when it came to her. She had a cold and standoffish personality which actually hid a soft and innocent heart. Her smile was quite marvelous to behold.
