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.”
